GL320 BTC service costs?
Was looking into getting the prepaid maintenance for our '09 Bluetec (5yr/50k), but was shocked at cost - more than $3,000...and therefore decided to pass.
When we asked the dealership for approximate maintenance costs, we were quoted $300 for 1st svc, $600-$800 for 2nd, $1100 for 3rd, and over $2k for 40k mile service. Dealership supposedly quoted "Edmunds.com" for 30k & 40k service cost. As an ex MB employee, I have a very hard time believing that maintenance costs are so high for this vehicle. Can anyone confirm or deny these claims?

they'll refill your adblue, auto trans service is recommended at 39,000. basic b service of course. brake fluid flush. and thats about it. i could see it costing 1500 on the big end but that's about it.
