Mercedes - Owner Opinions

[VXorado]

My parents have a 2005 C320 4matic & its great. I drove it last weekend and it was so smooth, powerful, comfortable and fun. They've had it for years and haven't had any issues. Last year, my parents had a tire blowout on the interstate and the traction control kept the car completely under control while my dad slowed the car down to pulled over.

They'll be getting a new Merc soon and told me I can buy it off them for the trade in value which should be under $10K

Does 4Matic mean AWD?

I always wondered why Mercedes seemingly advertised a 4-spd automatic. I thought to myself (more than once), "That's so 1980s!"



BTW...there's a 2002 ML320 nearby for sale. 96xxx miles. Says it gets 22/28 mpg. It's their small 4x4. If I (myself) haven't also been concerned about maintenance costs for BMW/Mercedes, I might have bought a "high" mileage unit by now. Maybe I show buy this and let the VX go?!?! The price isn't too far off the value of the VX.

After all, VX or Mercedes?

After all, VX or Mercedes?

Is that even a real question...VX of course!
