Great choice! Make sure to get a MB extended warranty if you plan on having it for a long time, I believe your factory warranty will be up next year.

my factory warranty expires this august. I've already contact beshoff where I service my other mercedes for a courtesy inspection. I'm debating on if it's worth the warranty, best price so far is like 4k.

I just filled up the the tank and the pump stopped but my needle reads only 3/4... what's wrong with me?

Might be your fuel gauge sensors in your gas tank. I replaced mine under warranty. Make sure they replace both, There are 2. I don't know why these go bad so often. Same thing happened with my C.

My dealer quoted two years of MB warranty for $4K. Mileage cap goes to 100,000.

Hope you can relax and enjoy the vehicle. Post pics!

That is still expensive. AAA gave me a bumper to bumper coverage quote of a little over $3k for 5yrs/100k miles.

5 year from time of mb warranty expires? If that's the case then I think it's worth it... you got a link to their site?
