Michael,
I got it about a month ago now. If you search the ML forum, you will find my posts about the load of trouble I had with it right after I first bought it. Fortunately for me, it was still under warranty and I had everything replaced that I found wrong. If MB hadn't covered the repairs, it would have totaled somewhere near $5,500!
The ML isn't for me, it's for She Who Must Be Obeyed. I drive a 1970 280SE every day, thank you
