  Written by: audi_man on Oct 9, 2009 9:05:53 AM

  Thanks Car_ Man Just my 2 cents do not go over invoice of $500 or $1000. Right now with this economy they are willing to sell bellow invoice. After your comment I 100% agree with you on waiting for 2 more month to payoff your lease first and have better room to negotiate. Otherwise they will include these 2 payment into your ML lease... It just still unclear what invoice we ... Read More

  I have come to the same conclusion on the blutec Mercedes. I don't like the urea treatment business. If I could find a super clean 2007-08 ML or GL CDI I would grab it. Then sell this gas guzzling Sequoia. same goes for those horrible run flat tires.

  I own a R320 CDI 2008, bought new. Fantastic car, it is the most comfortable Mercedes I have ever owned. We get 21/22 mpg in town; 28/30 mpg on highway. The cruise control if fantastic for interstate and here in mountains, when we go down our very steep grades, the cruise will keep car from overrunning the speed you set. I change my own oil. I do it the same way ... Read More

  Written by: johncee on Apr 12, 2009 11:59:31 AM

  I've owned the 2003 ML350 (same as 2005) and currently have the 2007 ML350. 1. 2003 is a body on frame, very truck-like, better for towing and off-roading. 2007 is unibody/car-based so much better handling, quieter ride, stiffer chassis, and more car-like drive. 2. In our experience, the 2007 has had MORE problems. I know the 2006's had issues with the power rear door but was corrected with a new sensor. ... Read More

But never felt any jerking or lunging. lawing, you should not get the 2008 ML just yet. if possible, wait until may or until the 2009 ML Class is released. It looks sooooo much nicer. ... Read More

Also your money factor (tier 1) should be closer to .00205. Ask your sales representative to show you Mercedez Benz Financial's official Lease schedule (if they're honest - they'll show it.)

I think a profit of $2k for the dealer on a $50k car is fair and proper (I'm sure the dealer would have liked more..)
