I'm just about to hit 120Kmi & no major issues to report since buying it nearly a year ago with 113Kmi. This has been the best Mercedes I've owned so far! 32MPG & V8 torque, I just love it!

Aside from normal maintenance/upkeep, the only repairs that have been necessary so far have been the thermostat, a glow plug & front turn signal bulb! No black death or SBC issues ect.

A simple $40 code reader is really all you need to diagnose issues & there are a lot of helpful DIY articles out there. Sure it can be cheaper to tackle some jobs yourself occasionally, but dealer service prices really aren't that bad compared to independents & you get all the conveniences (new MB loaner/shuttle service/refreshments ect.).
