I just bought an R320 CDI and I love the power. The torque in the car is almost 400 lb-ft. The thing could pull a house. And when you floor it, it takes off. What's even better is it's passing power on the highway. Don't let the horsepower difference fool you, the proof is in the torque.

I am looking to buy a r320 cdi in the Balt Wash area (P2 w DVD). I've inched my way up to getting approx $6700 off sticker but the inventory for P2 320's seems to be getting low as the 2008's are phased in. Anyone out there seeing any good closeout deals on 320's or 350's?

R350 Adjustable headlights? by vics
Jun 07, 2007 (11:49 pm)
Reply
My area of Massachusetts has a lot of two lane twisting roads and a lot of traffic so I never get a chance to turn on my headlight high beams. My low beams though, are too low which makes fast driving unsafe and causes me to drive about 30 mph to see well.
I asked one dealer to adjust the low beam a litle higher, but he said that there is no adjustment possible.
Another dealer said that he could adjust the low beams higher, for a price.
So, which dealer is correct? Is it possible to adjust? Or is the second dealer wanting to scam me?
I would think that an over $50,000 auto should have adjustable low beams, don't you?

First, the headlights are adjustable and your dealer should do the adjustment for free. I have asked my dealer to adjust the headlights as high as the law allows because the poor visibility you mentioned. The truth is the non-HID headlights are really bad for a car that cost over $50K.

Extended Warranty by oman9

I'm looking to purchase a 3 year, 50K extension on the base warranty. Anyone know how much this costs? Is extended warranty advisable for an R class or have they been relatively trouble free?

HELP PLEASE.

katy did - same thing happened to my y2k e320. maybe same cause. there might be a big allen wrench thing in glove compartment or some tool kit.
it can turn a little knob in the console next to trans shifter - behind a little door. manual control of electronic trans. in the e320 it allowed manual selection of one forward gear (2) and one of the two reverse gears.
mbenz-rescue-dude showed me this odd technique after the failure stranded us in a boston parking garage.
a meilleur chance!

Hi
my R350 did not come with the plug in piece for the phone - it supports bluetooth but the salesman told me I have to spend another $400 for the piece that plugs into the arm reast. does anyone know if i need to but one matched for a specific phone (kinda makes the use of bluetooth pointless but i googled for them and http://www.wireless4mb.com sold ones for specific phones) and is there anywhere i can buy one cheaper than $400, maybe a compatible cheaper one or even a used one?
 
Many thanks.

2007 R320 CDI recall by wopel
Jan 19, 2008 (9:07 am)

I read that there is a recall for the 2007 R320cdi as well as the other 2007 diesels. It's about a crankshaft sensor. Any feelings as to how fast one must get this fixed?
 
I also read that MB has admitted they didn't think the R through enough - really?
