1st time Mercedes Benz owner
After owning several Infiniti’s i went today and bought an ML350. I was just reading posts related to this model and now I’m kind of sorry I didn’t keep my Infiniti??? Seems to be some odd problems occurring with this model. The manual is very intimidating to me even. Yikes!! Also it’s a few hundred miles away from 100k. Sounds like the 100k maintenance will require a bank loan???

Thank you for the words of encouragement!! I’m worried that it’s a 2013 with 99k miles on it. It’s pristine though so well cared for. Not sure why I get a blue P up on that center display when I come to a stop the get the colliding cars when I start to drive??? I’m reading the manual but it’s got tons of information in it that makes no sense??? I’ve had BMWs, a Porsche, cars with lots of buttons but nothing like this. Also was worried about the temp gauge while driving home from dealer but saw a thread that showed 80 was about right so relieved about that. Also.... it’s not very photogenic, took a few photos and it looks disproportionate and small lol. I have an old Infiniti QX4 that I love, they look quite similar.

Welcome. Please post some pics when you get a chance. Blue “P” is Parking Guidance, detecting parking spaces for your beast! Arrow indices which side. Temp at 80 is normal. Members are more likely to post problems than praise, so don’t be too concerned.

Did you do any research prior to buying the car? ANY? All MB's are expensive to maintain period. No matter the year, no matter the mileage......guess you better get that bank loan LOL!!
