My 99 GS4 is approaching 5 years old with ~58k miles on the OD. It's paid-off and I'm now considering selling and picking-up something new (the new SLK55 AMG looks sweet!).

I've never had a car longer than 5 years and am wondering if I decide to keep the GS if it will remain reliable say another few years. It runs perfectly now.

What has your experience been with 'older', 'higher-mileage' GSes?

Mine has 82K 1998 and runs strong, no problems since I bought it in April.

74K and no problems on my 98. Added a supercharger so if anything's weak, it should break.

I haven't read a lot of problems from owners with higher mileage. Just keep up the regular maintenance.

SLK55AMG is also a very nice vehicle (nose design isn't my style) but totally different than the GS!

and i agree with dave, over 100k miles on the gs is really nothing, as long as you keep regular maintenance

the slk55, imho, way too small

I like the MB SL500. If you are looking for reliability of a lexus, I'd stay away from MB. Their cars a long time ago were built like tanks, but it has gone down over the years. My neighors have MB and BMW's , although they are nice looking cars, they are at the shop quite a bit. I am willing to bet that the new SLK will break down first compared to your 5 year old GS.
