Used 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Consumer Reviews
Great car
We bought our 2008 used. Besides regular maintenance we spend less than $1000 for repair. Car still looks and runs great.

This is not a real Mercedes a Chrysler of the 80s
When your long term trusting mechanic tells you “need” to get rid of the vehicle you just bought for for 29,000 thousand and has less than 45K miles should have “red flagged” me for the pain I was about to receive. By far the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned in my entire life. When the bills for repairs of the turbo, intake valve problems, transmission, Blu Tec and tail light problems equaled more in the car than it was worth, I gave it away just 3 years later up at auction for $8700 a 20k loss for a car I thought I would have for 10 years plus. I will never buy a Chrysler,Mercedes, Dodge or jeep ever again!

Great Experience
This car(truck) is smooth to drive, relatively nimble, quick, stylish inside and out, fuel economical, solid, sufficiently large and luxurious. It has all the gadgets and some time studying the manual to operate these gadgets is a must. On a recent trip from Ontario to Myrtle Beach and return, 3561.88 KM including mostly highway with speeds 65 to 85 mph and some local driving, we burned 307.44 Liters of diesel resulting in 32.73 mpg(imperial) or 27.25 mpg(US). The vehicle has just over 3000 miles and mpg should improve in the next year. There have been no faults large or small found. I consider myself to be easy on vehicles and found Saabs, Volvos, and Chryslers of the past to be excellent.
2008 ML 320 CDI
As others,looked at RX250,X5,and ML. Came to MB ML in looking for SUV with better than average MPG. Diesel won me over and liked exterior above others. As some have noted, nav (need touch screen, improve intuitive flow) and signal stem (proximity to cruise control) need updating/improvement. MB could use better value packaging like Lexus. Start w/ P2 and tailor to need. Downshifting non-issue with slight and logical modification of driving habit. Very pleased with choice.
Worst car I have ever purchased
Purchased the car new, 2008. After 11 months the car stalled out on me while driving! I brought it to MB and they told me they fixed it. Happened again and again. Life threatening problem! I tried to get MB to switch out the car but no way. Too much to ask, being safe! MB put new tires on the vehicle and the back tire leaks bad. They can't fix a tire either! I have brought the car in I can't count how many times. Still leaks! Car swerves all over the place. Horrible service, MB corporate doesn't care about us either. Only the $$$$$. I went back to BMW. The "7" handles like a dream and I don't feel like I am putting my family's life in harms way. Never again Mercedes!
