My ML250 is pretty well loaded. PARKTRONIC, DISTRONIC etc.
Stickered for $63,380. My deal. Invoice - $2500(USAA). When I told them that my trade $ was too low Dealer came up w/another $3,000. I can not say where that came from. Altogether it was a good deal. Had prepared ahead of time w/value of my trade from Bluebook, NADA,Edmunds etc. Brought copies w/me.
Bought my first MB in 1971-A new 280SL. $8800 msrp. The ML250 is one of the best I have driven. Not real sporty but still very satisfying. As I am 80+ my hard driving days are gone. The 250 is a great engine,smooth & strong, and am getting very good mileage. Did not buy a diesel for any mileage concerns. If my car had a 350 would have bought it. It was the right car @ the right time for me.

We went to the dealer to inspect the OPBA trim and wood steering wheel.
I found both highly objectionable.
The wood is so heavily grained that it formed a distraction.
The steering wheel is so slick that it could be problematic during normal driving maneuvers. Beyond the slick wood, the wheel has no "nubs" on the rear surface to improve grip.
The trim above the glove box was significantly more grained than any of the door trim.
If you like your MB looking like the side of an oak coffin or a Louisville Slugger baseball bat, their Open Pore Brown Ash is just what your doctor ordered.
