Diesel SUV alert. This 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350 has the BlueTEC powertrain.

It also has the Premium Package 1 and 2, the Towing Package, and leather interior. The warranty on the BlueTEC has yet to expire.

That said, the compression is low and so, at the moment, the vehicle isn't running.

That's why the ask of $5,000 is so low -- you can sink the rest of your money into getting it running.

If that kind of project interests you, you can click here to see this California-based ride.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Nothing to say about the collapsed suspension?

  I'd say it's collapsed.

A diesel with no compression?
Sounds like my 1976 Jeep but the Jeep is easy and cheap to fix.

Ras815 It's a travesty that this is even allowed to carry the same 7er identity that the E23, E32 and E38 established.
V16 It's hard to believe that GM or Ford in 2024 can't or won't design a truly class leading sedan for the North American market.To cede the entire mainstream market to Japan and Korea is an embarrassment.
1995 SC I don't know what the answer is, but out Germaning the Germans hasn't been it. Look at what works and do that (Escalade?). Maybe the world is ready for an option that just sort of shuts the world out at the end of the day and gives the driver a nice, supple ride home and is suited to the world that most people drive in.They won't though. The Journos will hate it and cry about ring times and at the end of the day that and dealers are who the cars are built for...not you. And Cadillac will likely fail sadly.
Daniel I couldn't agree more! As someone who is literally 100% brand agnostic, Cadillac is right up there with Lincoln for (relatively) very nice American brand designs and powetrains (OK, their sedans are getting a little stale with the same pointy, CyberTruck angles, but I digress) but their interiors really are absolutely lacking almost *any* differentiation from the "solid for what it is" Chevy parts bin and deserves better!
Fred Do what GM wants, cut costs. Pull out of racing hyper cars, defund the F1 program. Finally make more SUVs.
