2009 ML350

45k miles
Bought used cpo this month..
Dealer said trans and filter should be replaced at 39k miles
Also since they are in there...the gearbox oil too..$600..
They found a leak in the rack and replaced box and rack..covered by warranty.
2 hour service took all day...they gave me a car though..
I'm thinking another 2yr cpo for $3200 may not be a bad idea???
What say you???

For peace of mind Yes! But I would feel really bad IF nothing goes bad during warranty period.

Warranty

It was 2000 for the first year or 3200 for 2 years.
I guess cheaper than a trans. My rack and box was just replaced for leaking at 45k miles. Never saw a spot on the floor..

This scared me.
I'm in the market for an 09 ML350 as well and thinking of getting a non CPO.

Have an 09 ML 350 and it will be out of warranty in about 1,000 miles. I am opting not to get an extended warranty. I take my vehicle to an independent shop and they recommend against those. I am planning on keeping this one for a long time. I follow the recommended service intervals and to date no issues. If you can find a reputable independent shop they will be cheaper than going to the dealer. My closest MB dealer is 70 miles away. My local dealership closed several years ago so I am lucky that I have a great shop that is close by. I was quoted price of about 2500 to cover the vehicle through 120k. I am going to take my chances without an extended plan.

Good luck and Happy New Year

Mark

Run flat tires on ml350

What say ye to run flats.
Never had them before but see that they are available at discount tires for 19inch wheels.
If not what all weather tire do you suggest?????
Or are they just a waste of money?
