2020 GLE 350
1st Time Mercedes Owner

Received my 2020 GLE 350 that I ordered in February. I am on a steep learning curve, but enjoying the vehicle very much. I traded a 2018 GMC Yukon Denali that was only 16 months old. (It was just too big for my needs!!!)

I am looking forward to sharing experiences with other board members.

My first Mercedes


Hey guys, I'm Adam from South eastern PA. I just picked up my first Mercedes it's a 2002 C230k manual coupe. So far I love it. I mainly drive VWs and Audi's so I'm somewhat familiar with the euro car aspect but sure I have alot to learn about these cars.

GLE 400d
My first Merc

Hi MBWorld,

Just got a GLE 400d, my first Merc. It appears I've only scratched the surface of the tech, so likely to be making a few posts to get me sorted :-)

I've attached a pic here, also posted on GLE topic thread, as it is such a good looking car IMO ;-)

Hi MBWorld,

Greetings from LA. Looking to buy a 2019 or 2020 G550. Unfortunately everyone wants $25k over MSRP.

Cheers,
Travis

Welcome Travis! Have a read through the G-Wagen section of the site. Your experience (price higher than MSRP) seems to be the norm.

Hello MBWorld,

We have a 2008 C300 we bought back in 2013, by we I mean my wife! Dropped a pic of hers and mine. I have been combing though the site for some time now, learning about these, I usually do my own maintenance.
