Talking Just purchased our ML

Wasn't really serious about changing our es330 then one visit to a dealer near friend's house did it.

How it sat at the dealership:


We traded our ES330. Great car but it's soooo boring that you wish you weren't driving it.



Looked at the carfax report to see if it's a lemon but it was clean. All maintenance record was on carfax so it was reassuring somewhat. It's a one owner car purchased originally from House of Imports in Buena Park. Unfortunately it just ran out of warranty but I think this one will be ok. We told ourselves no more MB after having mediocre experience with 06 C230SS.... Something about benzes that keeps bringing people back lol... Anyway enjoy!

Wheels are Mandrus Millenium 22'' I believe.

Congrats!

You are braver than me, taking on a MB out of warranty. Wheels look good.

ML

We have the 07ML500 same color as your car and love it.

at just under 40K miles (orig owners) we've not had one problem with it. Service C is coming up next month.

We tow jetskiis with it and it performs without any trouble on trips to/from tx-fl and houston - austin....

Enjoy. The wheels really make it pop!

My a/c is acting up sometimes... Most times it's ice cold but no cold air especially when it's HOT outside if we turn off the ac for 5-10 mins a/c comes back on... No idea why so we bought 4yr/48K mile extended warranty so we can sleep at night lol.
