    10:10 When we had an 2004 ML 270 back in the UK, in the middle of the night, my dad pulled over to a service station. My mom and dad slept at the front of the car sitting up, when me and my two brothers slept at the back with the seats folded down. Great car!

    • @cesartoledo5621
      @cesartoledo5621 4 роки тому

      Oil leaks ... I put $12000 into her . If I feel like getting dirty I work on her myself. This is the first Benz that i have for not than a year. Every part of that car was hand picked. From the VDO speed controller to the ZF transfer case , the relays are Lucas.
      And i don’t drive like a grandma. I run her in the canyons. The 4matic is and the suspension is icing on the cake.

    • @cesartoledo5621
      @cesartoledo5621 4 роки тому

      And so your heart doesn’t strain too much , When I bought her I spent $13000.00 U.S Dollars, not pesos. To take care of those oil leaks.
      You probably think I take my ride to Jiffy lube.
      She wasn’t my first Benz...

    @junglist1soldier 11 років тому +2

    My first ML350 was a 2010 Bluetec, which I do regret selling and will have to buy another. My second ML was a 2006 average ML350, didn't like it much. Now, I currently own a 2001 ML 55 AMG and love it. It doesn't top the 2010Blutec V6 turbo diesel but, it is better than the average 2006. Mpg is 11-13 on the AMG, which makes the 2010 Bluetec a superior choice, compared to any s.u.v. I was getting 22-27 mpg and with over 420 horsepower. The most quietest and environmentally friendly diesel!

      Me too. It's fully loaded and everything still works on it to a charm. Not to mention underneath the car is very dry and clean even with 220,000 miles on it. It has been extremely well maintained with new U-Joints, new radiator, starter, both motor mounts and the flex packs on the drive shaft. Unreal how awesome this car still is. It'll probably go for 500,000 if I keep using the synthetic oil.

    Thank you for posting this as I would like to know the roots of the rest of the MB line. Does anyone know what year it is from 2:24-2:42? The earliest dated image of the W163 I have seen is an image from July 1994 in a German patent filing, but that doesn't mean the design was frozen then. Was the design approved in 1993 or early 1994? I did see a date of June 1993 on one of the competition sketches.
