Mercedes Benz M-Class ML320 CDI

Re: Considering an 07 R 320 CDI any thoughts? [watkinst]

Written by: doccolorado on Aug 23, 2009 06:11 AM

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 our local ... Read More...

There was a recall for various Mercedes models in July 2008 pertaining to an incorrect SCN (software calibration number) which dealt with incorrect fuel gauge readings as well as several other issues. Neither of your model years were listed on that July 2008 recall from the summary that I saw. It may be worthwhile to ask your mechanic whether your models could ... Read More...

Tell Me How

Written by: butchp on Nov 03, 2008 07:38 AM

I had a 2008 ML350 which was a great car. I could not get beyond 15MPG with my running around burb driving. When the gas went to 4.69 a gallon for premium, I panicked, traded by 3100 mile Benz for a 2008 RX400H. I had owned three or 4 RX models (gasoline) and was always happy although they were slightly underpowered. The RX400h is quick, but it is not built as well as the ... Read More...

Sure, you can get sticker shock at the gas station, but you don't have to give up your sport-utility vehicle. You don't even have to give up the carlike luxury trimmings you've come to expect as part of the SUV experience. That's what the 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Bluetec and 2008 Lexus RX 400h are meant for.

Mercedes Benz M-Class Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Re: [taylorsmithbr]

Just picked up a new 2008 ML350 in Southern California for $9500 off MSRP. Talked with many dealers, couldn't get the $10,000 off MSRP. It wasn't that big a hassle to get it down to $9500 off MSRP, though only 1 dealer would touch that price. Fletcher Jones Mercedes (largest mercedes dealer) wouldn't go any lower than $9000 off MSRP..even though they have a LOT of ... Read More...

Re: ML 350 buy 2008 or lease 2009? [dkla76]

Written by: donaldsam on Aug 13, 2008 03:10 PM

Keep in mind the new 2009 ML350 has been agressively restyled, the body style is the same but there are a few facelifts and equipment changes on the 2009. The value of a 2008 ML350 after 36 mos is 47% and at 48 mos is 39% based on residual values from Mercedes-Benz Financial. On a new 2009 ML350 the value at 36 mos is 48% an at 48 mos is 42%. Currently there are no lease specials ... Read More...

ML-320 Diesel Purchase

Written by: donaldsam on Aug 11, 2008 01:28 PM

I saved over $7,000 off MSRP on a new 2008 ML-320CDI at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood. The only bad part is since they have increased the factory incentives on 2008 models, they no longer offer the special financing rates. The best rate I got was 6.49% for 60 months with excellent credit. They are courteous and will deal over the phone. Check out their website at www.mblynnwood.com ... Read More...

Volvo XC90 vs MB M Class vs Acura MDX vs Lexus RX 350 vs BMW X5 vs Cadillac SRX

Re: Mercedes ML vs. MDX vs. Lexus vs. X5? [bidder5000]

Written by: storo on Mar 17, 2008 00:59 PM

Hi I faced a similar decision recently and went with the 2008 X5 (w 3rd row seats) after owning the RX300 for 8 years. The previous generation RX (Japanese made) was incredibly reliable - not a single problem in 88,000 miles and had adequate space for family with 3 kids and dog. Unless you are doing any offroad driving, the performance differences are not significant ... Read More...
