09 SLK 300
I actually joined up on two other MB forums but they are horribly slow! I like how I can actually load the page and read stuff on here

I just purchased a 09 SLK300 with just about every option possible, including all the available AMG options (body kit, wheels, sport suspension / paddle shifters).

Stumbled here looking for more information on scanners - leaning towards the carsoft MI6 http://www.carsoft.com/single-brand/...-sprinter.html

Welcome to MBWorld. Stunning looking!

Let us know if we can ever help anyone out with any aftermarket lighting upgrades. We specialize in plug and play LED/HID. For those not familiar with MBs, you'll need special canbus units to work properly.

GLC 300 AWD
Second Benz

Just ordered our second MB. First was a 2003 C320. Presently my car is on the ship from Bremen to Port of Baltimore. 2018 MB GLC300 4matic. The GLC is so popular, dealers in NJ have run out of them. Had to special order because I wanted the around view camera system. I had it on my Infiniti and it is VERY cool. Supposed to be delivered by August 1-2

2012 C63 AMG Edition 1 Sedan
NeW mEmBeR hErE!! ImA wEiRdO!! 🤠

Ok.... Maybe not as weird as I'd like to be but wtf just trying to fit in with the abundance of questionable weirdos running around this blue marble these days!!!

Alright on to the serious sh*t around here... 😎 Dr. Chops from Colorado! No I can't send you any "Colorado Gas" lol and it would be wonderful if people would have the same opportunity in their home state that they all moved here for because traffic sucks 🐒🏀🏀's!!

Acquired the first Benz about 3 years ago, it was a basic 2008 c300 black on black on black and smelled like cigarettes from the last owner but after the three days for the tint strip and new apply job was done I just kept the windows down a little bumped pandora and it made the smell bearable! Lmao! And I'm sure I looked cool.. Just saying.. lol

Mom needed a new car and she liked the Benz so I was going to give her mine but after a solid inspection at my cousins shop it was going to need some pricier work done and what kind of ******* child would I be if I passed that situation on to Moms?!?!? So I did a search for a c300 for her and I discovered the universe wasn't ready for me to hook Mom up with her prestious chariot quite yet! First add that popped up was about 45 mins old and something about a 2012 C63 "RARE" "MUST SEE" Edition 1 then I'm pretty sure I seen some more marketing terms like "Dr. Chops 1 OF 60" and "Dr. Chooooops YOU NEED A CAAAAR PAAAAAYMENT" etc etc... lol And after I shot the vin over to my boy that gets to rub his hands all over MB race team cars and gets to go through models of MB that won't even be released for a half a year in FL at the MB port (that lucky sob) he told me to get that car asap just because it a little different and rare for what it is! As I'm sitting there at the dealers desk thinking I'm going to do my "no bs" pitch and swoop this BADASS c63 Edition 1 Sedan for less then their "average Joe" price, I was swiftly reminded I can't go down the street and get one of these cars and if I'd like to buy this one I'll pay that stupid "not special or cool person" price tag lol! Then I had one card left in my hand as I realized I'm buying a Benz while Mom is left out in the Hon*a Ci*c (<--- bad words) cold wtf!!! Back to mission "Good Son" so I tell him I need another Benz but for my mom...! They had this really cool 2013 Blue C300 Sport with AMG upgrades, wheels and front and back bumpers.. Guess who had some fu*kn leverage again?!?!?! That's right! Dr.Chops! He told me what they wanted for it and that's when I did what's called in the sales industry "The walk away" lol Told him not a chance in hades I would pay that price and if he wanted me to take two cars off his books then he could show me the computer screen and what they were in the car for or he would be seeming the back side of my Nikes as I walked out of this whole deal.. It was a shot in the dark but if the MB universe wants a child of hers to be in good hands and in this case two of her kids, then she will make sure that when homeboy is done making that cringed look on his face he spins that screen around to show me that nice chunk of profit he won't be making on Moms new Benz! Haha.. Homeboy sold two cars that day and I was proud of him! Lmfao!

Wheeeew!! That's the end of my into my wonderful Benz Ninjas! I also promise this will be the longest post I will ever make again hahaha!!!

Glade to be here and thank you all for the content and the priceless knowledge you all have and will provide!!

P.S. If anyone has or finds a 2012 C63 Edition 1 "coupe" for sale I will give you a foot massage if you would contact me please!!

-Dr.Chops 😎

2013 ml350 bluetec
Tom from Florida

Our first Mercedes, a 2013 ML350 Blue tec.
We are enjoying it.
I installed the brake controller with information from this site.
Previous tow vehicle was Ram eco-diesel.
The ML350 is a nice vehicle but the GPS and CD player are not as intuitive as the Ram.

2008 Mercedes Benz R350
Good day All,
My name is Agbons.
I am a newbie to the Mercedes Benz world. I live in Nigeria.
I just bought a 2008 Mercedes Benz R350 4matic from the US (Copart) but unfortunately it did not come with the Owner's manual. This has been a serious concern to me.
Can anyone kindly assist me with a printed (hard) copy of Owner's manual for 2008 Mercedes Benz R350 4matic.
My email is ferdinardebohon@yahoo.co.uk. Would appreciate a favorable feedback.

2005 C240 4matic
Hello all, I am Michael. I recently moved from the Midwest USA to Arizona. Shortly after that I bought my wife our first Mercedes, a 2005 C240 4Matic. It is barely used, at 95,000 miles, and it fit her requirements for an AWD, 4-Door car that is a bright color. (Mars Red). I learned long ago that finding a forum to help with questions, maintenance, upgrades, mods, etc. is an absolute necessity. So here I am.

Infiniti
Hello,

Josh here from Orlando, FL.
I currently drive an Infiniti M35 and I am seriously considering an AMG product as my next vehicle. I like the w211 E 55 AMG, however, the E 63 is not out of the equation.
I look forward to reading, learning, and becoming as informed as possible before purchasing my E class AMG.

Cheers

S-10 Chevy Pickup
Looking to buy my last car..

In 1969, I bought a 190SL with bad clutch for $100. The was the last Benz that I ever owned. I'm turning 73 next month and I think I want another one...perhaps a 2007 350CLK.

I've been checking the market and it seems that I should be able to get
a nice one for 10-12K. Does that sound right and what should I look out for beside the usual stuff?

E350 2014
Hello, I bought a CPO 2014 E350 with 19k on it a year ago this week and although I've only put a little over 3k on it since purchase I thought I would do a full oil and filter change. It appeared this might be more complicated than usual (topside extraction). Anyway found this forum via a google search resulting in the "Pictorial Oil Change for E350" done by Gurmail (thank you). Always great to find a knowledgeable community of helpful people. Love my E350. - Gregg

My daughter had a similar problem in her 2004 CLK500. It was caused by the fuel distribution tube in the fuel tank. There should be other information in the forums about your problem. Your car should be covered in the C Class (W202) forum.

2014 GLK350
New to MB

I just bought a used 2014 GLK 350 w/ 27k on the clock. This is my first MB. My son has a 2012 GLK and loves it so I thought I would give it a try. So far, so good. It's Mars Red with Sahara Beige/Mocha interior, Premium 1 package, multimedia package and running boards (which I don't like). I live in the Dallas area and look forward to enjoying the G and visiting this site.

Enjoy it mostly when I am driving up country.

'13 ML 350
Hey! Pete here in Houston. My wife bought a 2015 GLK a year and a half ago, but won't let me drive it. O I started the search for my own, and just recently purchased a well cared for '13 ML350 4MATIC. Incredible upgrade from my 4Runner!!! No issues at the moment, but I will be keeping my eyes on upgrades and issue resolution.

C43 AMG 4Matic Coupe
3 days & 500km in on my 2017 C43 AMG 4Matic Coupe

Since coming to Canada in 2003 I've for the most part been driving various trucks (up here it almost feels rude not to at times) ... any way picked up a new 2017 C43 AMG 4Matic Coupe in Canvasite Blue Metalic on Thursday and so for just over 500km done between Vancouver & Whistler. Any excuse right now to go for a drive such as taking the long route for a loaf off bread ;-) Absolutely loving this thing. For me it's the perfect balance of luxury & performance and when I need added practicality I still have the truck.


Callaghan Valley approx. 10km south of Whistler, BC ... 2 days before Iron Man Canada takes over this area.
