New owner: 2015 ML 250

Hey everyone,

I have been driving a 2014 C300 and before that a 2005 C230. Both vehicles were great! My wife and I decided we need an SUV and ended up with a 2015 ML 250. We love it so far! I don't have any pics now but it's white with the AMG exterior kit, black sport interior seats (Dinamica inserts) and steering wheel, Premium Package 1, heated steering wheel, HK system, driving assist package, and trailer hitch.

It looks and drives great!

I did some research on the model but didn't come up with much. My mechanic said that he hasn't seen one yet but that he's heard good things. It was maintained at the two MB dealers in the area.

We decided to take the risk because we got a pretty decent deal and it had the options we wanted.

Wish us luck!

Congrats! It's a nice SUV. I bought my ML250 new in 2015 and so far (knock on wood) there have been 0 issues. I am very happy with it. Couple of things I've been told by my dealer's foreman is to always keep the Adblue tank full, not to baby it, and to use diesel from volume sellers (i.e. places where diesel trucks go and fill up). I did buy the extended warranty, but so far it has not been needed whatsoever. I do oil changes every 5K. I am at 60K miles and so far I have replaced brakes and rotors and threw in a set of Michelin Defenders.

Happy driving and good luck!
