I know this is late (about 5 years) but I joined the forums before I bought a Benz. My family (great-grandfather, parents, in-laws) owned Benz over the years but I arrived late to the party.
So, this past Valentines Day (Feb 14, 2015) we pulled the trigger and traded in the Honda Odyssey for a CPO 2012 GL450 Palladium Silver/Tan with 29k miles on the clock.
So far, we've purchased WeatherTech floor mats (tan), updated the headlights (DDM HIDs, 55w - 4600k), added a bluetooth streaming device to the glovebox media module (Tune2Air) and will be upgrading the 19" OEM wheels to 20" OEM(hopefully this weekend).
We love the ride and love the fact it's CPO (we know what repairs to expect in the future).
My name is Aman Sundher and I'm from Surrey BC Canada. Just bought my first Mercedes, a 2012 C63 Amg. New to the brand, but this is my 23rd vehicle. My background is a Licensed Commercial Transport Mechanic turned salesman for Class 6/7/8 vehicles. I'm pretty excited to take delivery, I'll post pictures when my car arrives on Monday. Hoping I can find a few local members to go out for coffee/meets/drives with.
Hi, I'm Jim from Waxhaw, NC which is on the south side of Charlotte. I bought a 2011 SL550 (Sport Pkg) with 32K mi on it last month. Had all four wheels straightened, new tires are next, probably Michelin or Toyo. Otherwise checked out well.
I took it on a road trip from Charlotte to West Palm Beach last week, got a great wash in Jupiter at Pelican - hand wiped and tires dressed for $13.25!! Here it is in the hotel parking lot, love it!
Hello all, my name is rick, and I am from the SF bay area in CA. We just purchased a 2001 e320 4matic wagon that has 172,000 miles on it. It is in pretty good shape and everything seems to work😱.
I absolutely love the way it feels and drives. It was a 1 owner car and it seems they took fairly good care of it. It does need some work and new tires. We have an appointment to get it fully serviced (ie: all new fluids, etc) and to replace the front axles and brakes.
I sold a 1998 bmw 740il, which was a total money pit to get the e320. The e320 is a much better driving veh than the bmw. If we like this car in the future as much as we do now I can see mercedes being the car manufacturer of choice for us.
Thanks for having this forum to learn from. I am sure we will be referring to it often!
Hey guys, proud and happy owner of a 2006 C55 AMG since August. Im from Charleston, SC.
She's had her bad days BUT we get along really well now. Changed out engine and tranny mounts recently, and have re-done the fuel filter and fixed a gas leak myself. These are brilliant cars, and quite the bang for the buck! Hope everyone has a great day!
Just a quick hello to the mb community. Have driven an e300d for 15 years and just bought an e500 and know there will be good information here. Thanks in advance for all my inquiries. I bow to the more experienced.

My name is Poul and I live in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin USA together with my wife
We replaced our Silver 2004 CLK500 for a couple of years ago with a Black 2008 E63 - Black in Black with P2 option. I just love it.......
Done a few mods to it since then:
Riding high adjustable - own fabrication. ROW intake fiber glass intake funnels - own fabrication. K&N air filters and charcoal filters removed. Rear diffuser fiber glass - own fabrication. That's it, nothing major...
My "baby" recently died to the head bolt issue
So I have an engine repair and mod project going on for some weeks.
First time MB owner, 2003 clk 320 cabrio, 47000 miles. Love it. Has minor issue ... If I accelerate, even slightly aggressive, there is a delay when I push the accelerator afterwards. Mid I turn the car off, it resets and all is normal. Try to accelerate again, then it repeats .... Throttlebody? MAF? Any
I thought I made an intro, but apparently not. So I am Howie. I live in Corpus Christi, TX. I just picked up my 2013 C63 AMG sedan with 3500 miles on the clock. She is immaculate and looking to do some minor upgrades to her. Thanks and I hope to meet some good folks and gain some much needed knowledged on this beast. Cheers to everyone.
I am new to the site, just placed order ML 63 silver and black, it should arrive in late may, saying good by to my 2013 M 5, great car but i need something i can drive in the mountains.

Just purchased 2007 R500
I just purchased a 2007 R500 with 28K miles from Carmax. It's coming from CA to Dallas, TX and should arrive in about 3 weeks.
Now shopping for Extended Warranty, Carmax offer 5yr/125k miles at $4500.00 w/150 deduct. Have two other offers AAA AutoProtection at 5yr/100k at $3550.00 w/100 deduct and Auto Advantage Inc. at 5yr/100k at $4505.00.
This will be my daily driver and can put 25k per year in Dallas city driving.
Does MB offer any coverage for a 2007 R500 with 28k?
My name is Seb and I'm from France. My car is my 3rd MB. I actually have a '03 E55 AMG which is maybe the best MB I've ever been able to drive.
