Is Keyless Go worth it?

Keyless Go is now an option for the ML 320 cdi and I was wondering if those that have it think it is worth the 1100.00 or so for the option? I am in the process of ordering and wonder what you all think.
Thanks

after having it on the S550 and not the ML500 - i'd say go for it. i love not having to pull it out to unlock/lock, start everytime. it's really handy for women who can just keep all their keys in their purse instead of digging around for 'em.

I was just at the dealer today and they are searching for an ML320 CDI for me and the salesman (and the website) do not show Keyless Go as an option. Where did you get this info? Perhaps it has not been updated in the website and my salesman does not know about it. I have an E63 with keyless go and I would pay the 1100 for the keyless go anytime. It is very convenient.

We are ordering an 08 model as this option wasn't avail for the 07. We ended up added this to our order. Make sure your dealer was looking for 08 ML320cdi and it should be there.

By all means get it! The only thing that is better is remote start and MB dose not offer that.

We have a SL that has it, GL that doesn't have it, and a ML on order that is definitely going to have it. I wouldn't order a car without it. We miss not having it in our GL.

Got it...nevertheless, I'm looking for an '07 now because of the 3.9% for 72 months through July 2, so I can live without the keyless go.

I understand taking the financing deal. Remember that at the end of 3-4 years the model year difference from 07 to 08 will be approx 5k (just my opinion) so unless you need the financing (which I assume you don't from your other vehicle) I would get the 08 and keyless go. Another reason to get an 08 is that as soon as you pull the trigger on the leftover remaining stock 07 it will be a year old as I should receive my 08 in early august.
Just my thoughts and opinions
Food for thought.

Very valid points...thanks! I can wait till August and pay cash (vs an undesirable financing rate likely over 6.5%) and I may very well have do that if they do not find a vehicle optioned like I want now, but If they do find a vehicle for me now, 3.9% is too good and allows me to preserve cash flow that I could use to more than make up depreciation from 07 to 08. I don't need to finance, but if the rate is very attractive, I would and would forego the Keyless Go. Thanks again!
