About to order a ML63 and have some questions...

1) Is Keyless Go worth it?

2) If you have Keyless Go and want to just sit in the car (with the engine off) and lock the doors, will it allow you to do it?

3) Does Keyless Go unlock just the driver's door?

4) Does the bluetooth work well?

5) Is 6% off MSRP for an '08 about right? I see that some people here have gotten as much as $6k off MSRP for '07's.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I don't have an ML63 so I can't provide much information.

Bump for ya!~ I'm sure some ML owners will chime in soon enough.

Keyless go is definitely the best option mercedes has to offer, without it, it is a totally different experience.You can lock the doors if your inside
Bluetooth is awesome. You should be able to get about 10%off on an 07

Keyless is definitely worth it IMO and the bluetooth works well with certain phones. Good luck getting 6% off MSRP on a 63 model...im not saying it wont happen, but you're cutting out the salesman completely if you end up getting that price.

I didn't get keyless go and don't know what I'm missing. The Bluetooth integration works well (apart from the low volume).

Thanks for the replies. We went ahead and ordered an '08 with the keyless go... got it at invoice price too. Now comes the hard part... the wait.

ML 63 @ Invoice

HouTXCLS55 and Bernie (00Parts), I live in California and I'm looking to order a 2008 ML63. No dealer I've contacted here has been willing to talk invoice or 7% off MSRP. I would appreciate it if the two of you would provide me with your dealership's name and a contact person's info so I can discuss a purchase with them. Thank you

Call the GM at Alex Rodriguez MB his name is Garrick. I'm not sure what deal he will offer but it worth a shot. His younger brother is a fraternity brother of mine but who knows....hopefully he will make you the same deal.

Good Luck!

Nobody in my local area would give me a decent deal either. I ended up calling every single MB dealer in Florida (and even out of state) in order to get that price. Two places were able to offer me invoice pricing... Euro Motorcars in Bethesda, MD and MB of Tampa.

Bernie thanks for the info. Between you and HouTXCLS55 I hopefully should be able to obtain a ML63. Have been looking at Cayennes and X5s(4.8) and it just seems too many owners are having reliability issues. I currently drive a 2002 CLK 55 and I've had no problems what so ever. Not to say I'll have the same luck with the ML63 but based on the responses contained in this forum, the ML63 owners sound as if they are very satisfied and not having too many, if any, problems with their ML63s.

20k on mine. A belt frayed a little and was replaced with no downtime. The keyless go stopped working on the drivers door so it has a new handle. Thats it. Purrrfect otherwise.
