07' ML350
after 5+ Years...im moving to an ML

its been 5 years since i first browsed in the C forum, and it seems my "forum mates" here have graduated to other cars..... so finally, this coming week ill b picking up my C replacement, an ML350.

my C has given me lots of headaches, tons of problems, but nevertheless i still enjoyed the car....

this has been a very informative forum, especially at a time when members were asking about 18" rims, cd changer installs, aluminum pedal part numbers...... items which are now "standard" on later model C's

5 years, and 26,000 kilometers on the odo...... time for a new change!

If tons of headaches made you enjoy the car, the ML will make you very, very happy I checked with MB and ML does really stand for Mercedes for Ladies.

i like the ML. what year are you getting? not really a huge fan on the pre 06 ones though. the new look is sharp and i had it for a loaner once. it drives like a dream.

yep its 26000kms or 16k miles!

my IS200 is 7 years old, and its mileage is only 28,000kms or 17k miles.

anyways....im getting a US version Alpine Rain ML350. My country gets the euro ML, mines a gray market import.

havent got the chance to choose options or color, its the only unit available at the moment, and i cant wait Feb07 if i special order. besides, Feb is a month away before the W204 is unveiled, and i worry that the value of the C will diminish big time nextyear when the new one comes out.
