Re: [diesel_mercedes] Thinking of a used 2011 ML350

 

I doubt you will find anyone on this list with personal experience like you ask. I believe Mercedes USED to make maybe the best cars on the planet, or at the least one of the very best. Nowdays??????????????? If you have the money and you really like it, well, go for it. Max

Hopefully this is not too recent a vintage Mercedes Benz for this group.

I'm looking at a 2011 diesel ML-350.  It looks amazing and has less than 25,000 miles (40,000 km) on the odometer. As you'd guess the dealer wants a premium price.

My dilemma is the wide variety of reviews both on-line and in print.  They are all over the map.  Most seem to be angry at the high cost of the new vehicle but few seem to concentrate on any particular issues with the vehicle itself.

I'm a little wary of the new diesel technology (I also have a 2006 diesel Jetta) with it's urea tank.  And the lack of a spare tire is a bit of a concern.  The fit and finish of this car seem excellent and the dealer is offering a 1 year "warranty"

Now the questions!  What is the repair record of this new breed of diesel?  The myriad of on-board electronics is mind boggling.  Is this another possible weak point for reliability issues?

Any other advice from real user experience would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
