I’m considering selling my G55. I purchased it w/ 60k miles in early 2015. It now has 103K miles on it. I’ve used it to travel, camp and commute to work. It’s far from perfect, but it has been a very reliable and capable expedition vehicle. It’s definitely one-of-kind! I have limited pictures, but will take more.
