Trying to decide between R class with 9K miles or ML350 with 22K ...dealer wants 30,900 for both..I can't afford this much..do you think I could get either for 22K???? Also which car is better...seem to both be bad on gas? I need help..I always leased but trying to be more frugal..what should I offer? I can provide more details if needed..thanks |

Hey there, New to the forum. Looks like everyone is super helpful- so thanks for that upfront. I'm curious to see if anyone has any thoughts on the above models that I'm considering. I'm in the market for an SUV/Crossover- and have already ruled out the Lexus RX, Porche Cayenne, Range Rover and the BMW X5 due to personal taste. It's down to the above- and would love any insight/opinions from people who have gone down a similar comparison road.  Thanks!

Replying to: cneff (Aug 08, 2008 8:27 pm) An 06 ML came with a 14 06 valve body which allows the 2-1 downshift before the vehicle reaches a standstill. This down shift is very un comfortable in traffic. When the dealer checks for newer software the computer states there is no newer software available. The solution is to replace the valve body with a 13 06 or a 21 06 which accepts the new software and takes care of the shift quality. The dealer has to submit the part numbers and software levels to MB to recieve authorization to replace the valve body under warranty. Please be patient and ask for a shop foreman to be involved as many techs are not aware of these details. Hope this helps.

How does the bluetooth work on 06-08 M-Class? Is it part of some package? I just visited local MB dealer and salesman says that I have to purchase $500 adapter though that 2007 M350 comes with COMMAND navigation. I imagine that adapter required only if I need to transfer my phone book, but if I just want to pair car bluetooth with my iPhone I would not need an adapter. It seems salesperson does not get it right?

I bought mine at the dealer when I bought my car and got a nice discount across the counter from parts. Its called "MHI Bluetooth Interface Module"; You can also find after market ones, but I never tried them. This thing works pretty good, and it does download your address book, previous calls etc, . There were not many options for me to go aftermarket when I bought mine, but try this. try google for that module and you might be surprised, I see them on Ebay, and here http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4604649 ($250) Doc
