Don't you know that you were absolutely right, you've been right all along. You're absolutely right, and I was wrong.
Your responses to other posters when you disagree with them have almost always been......without tact. Regardless of my initial impression of you after reading the 1st 2-3 posts by you, I treated you with respect and courtesy.
But you proved your worth, or lack thereof, when you stooped to name-calling.
That proves that you're nothing more than an educated-yet ignorant bully (which, btw, is worse than an uneducated bully, at least he has an excuse).
Gotta go see if there's a way to block posts/threads by.......well, you know...
See, all that and I didn't outright call you an a$$ even once. I may think it. I'm sure others probably do too. But "I" didn't succumb to my baser instincts.
'Magine that, and I ain't even no gingineer.....

Seeing as sensitivity is your strong suit and not mine, please help me out here: what would you call an ignorant and opinionated person that has offered nothing of value and whose sole contribution to a given situation has been b!tching, whining and moaning about how they have been wronged by a big bad company that is out to get them and is ripping them and everyone else off? How would you politely tell someone like yourself that he is being an ***?
I am glad to see that at the very least you're in control of your emotions, and in this regard you are indeed much better than I am. Seeing as logic is not your strong suit I don't think anyone could ever confuse you for an engineer (which is apparently something you feel rather insecure about and incidentally says a lot more about you than me), but you'd make an absolutely awesome politician if you aren't one already. This I mean without the slightest hint of sarcasm.
Good luck with your search into blocking posts and threads.
My apologies to the OP (and everyone else that actually wanted to learn something useful) for derailing the thread and turning it into another soap opera. Back to regular programming.
Cheers,
Doug

JESUS CHRIST, the man asked about experience on a used car and he gets dealt with all of your crap, I was reading this as I was interested about the views of others on this car and I end up wasting my life reading this crap. both of your bickering is childish.
Keep quiet if you have nothing of interest to say!

Picking up a 2015 ML350 4Matic on Saturday for the wife. No airmatic, CPO Car with 27,000 miles. Very clean inside and out. Grey on Ash. Praying it is a great car for her for many years! It will be her first real MB. No more Honda thank God!

Why the regrets??
+1 for steel suspension, I bought mine without airmatic because of lot of issues with it.
We have bluetec, bough it used with 34K, in 3-4K check rear break light showed up. I think dealer lied to us, they had no rights to sell car with worn breaks.
After replacement, I have 70K now and all good.
Tires, car came with Pirelli Scorpion, at 70K now I still have enough for another 5K as minimum but going to install new this Friday.
Love the car, wish I bought gas, didn't do my home work right. But with gas model I will be paying + $130 each month for premium vs diesel.

Wondering why you wish you’d gotten gas instead of diesel? Thinking of buying the diesel myself...

Wife is going on almost 2 years with it. Car is great! No issues. Did the transmission flush, spark plugs, pads and rotors. My only complaint with the car is the 25k miles and 2 years of ownership is that there is a clicking sound from both the a/c vents. I do not know why but it seems the vents are cheaply made and make noise when the heat and A/C get used.

This is more about OM642.
On another side, our ML almost at 100K miles, troubles free, which Im so pleased about, but this is the time when issues start happening.
A few days ago looked at GLE 2016 and appraised our ML, I knew and expected lowest value but not that low, if I push it off the cliff and film it, I will make more $$$ from Youtube vs dealer's offer, so mad about.

As you can see diesels have more issues, higher maintenance cost, more components which might fail, resale value close to 0$.

Yikes! That is why I buy used/CPO and keep them! That is some crazy depreciation. Not worth letting it go because of the cost out of pocket to replace it.

At the time when I bought dealer offered extended warranty up to 75K miles for 3500$. Turn that down, already passed 75K long time ago with no issues and have 3500$ saved.
So Im thinking if something goes wrong I can use them.
With cost of 2016 GLE - ML value I still need get a lone bigger than if I buy new engine and tarny for ML.
So keeping the ML with hope it will last another 50-75K miles.
