Just picked up this CPO GLS! First Mercedes - green w/ Bahia brown interior is lovely spec. Can’t believe they discontinued this color! Any love for this color? Don’t see too many out there.
Bought a new 2027 GLS 450 and added:
Prime Protect: $8,863 for 7 years, apparently unlimited miles/Level 3.
SA Complete Care: $5,531 for tire/wheel, dents, windshield and key coverage.
Financed at 6.99%. Planning to keep it 7 years and drive 16k miles/year.
Are these reasonable prices? Since Mercedes already includes 4 years/50k miles, would you cancel Prime and buy coverage later? Dealer says prices increase if I wait.
Anyone have firsthand claims experience with either?

So, this has started happening after driving in sport mode. It happens usually after driving in sport or sport plus for a little while. I assume this shouldn’t be happening. For reference, I also wasn’t beating on it. Never approached red line and barely went over 40 mph. (I was just driving around my 25 mph town with a max speed limit of 35 and got this message.) I’m obviously planning on making a service appointment for it since it’s under a 3rd party warranty but they’re closed until Monday so I just want to get some other opinions so I have an idea what I’m in for. I presume this car should be able to handle a few accelerations while driving around town without overheating like this.
Maybe somebody knows where this rattling at the beginning comes from?
It appears after letting the car sit for 5 min.
The chain got replaced last week and for the first like 20 engine starts cold/warm the car sounded completely fine.

My wife has a 2014 ML350 with a light gray interior with a dark gray dash. Just like the one in the picture. The top of her steering wheel and the seat bolster are of course both starting to crack pretty badly. I can't figure out the actual color codes for either color though. I think the lighter seat color is "alpaca gray" but there don't seem to be enough pictures online to support or deny it. I'm finding even less info on the gray dash/steering wheel; it seems like every other w166 just had black. Any guesses?
I’ve had it about 10 days or so now. and so far she’s driven brilliantly. Acceleration is pretty decent considering how old it is. She feels like a tank on the road, very planted. Gear shifts are smoother than my 2025 GX 550. The only real issue I have is that I’m missing one fog light, which I need to purchase, so I will be handling that. probably in the spring. I will go through the top and replace the hydraulic system as it’s never been done, and I can tell it’s a little sticky, but that’s a tomorrow problem in Utah seeing as we are going into the cooler time of year. Other than that, coil overs have been ordered. Wheels have been ordered, still looking at exhausts, nothing crazy. Just something with a little bit of a deeper tone. Those will be winter projects. Fun fact: I didn’t know these things had puddle lights.
Hey guys, I’m going to be turning 19 in a few months and my father brought up the discussion on what first car we should get for me. I’ve been driving since I was young and have a LOT of experience driving a RAV4 2009, Mitsubishi Montero 2002 (closest thing to a daily I have), Land Cruiser (learned to drive on this car and also driven at least once a week) and occasional drives with a GLC 43. My dream car for about the last 5 years was a C43 2017 Coupé, going for 28,000$ at 90,000 KM. Just wanted to know if thats a good option and whats your guys’ personal experiences with the car. And would it be hard to adjust driving a coupe instead of an SUV? Thanks.
I hate buying tires but here we are again, 2.5 year old PS4s with right at 20k mi on them. I guess I got about as much as you can expect from them.

She barely drove this beautiful car and we couldn’t be happier with the deal we got. First MB in our new lil family. Feeling grateful and happy to have found and purchased, hence this post.
My first car is a Mercedes Benz w202 c250d. It has 148.000km (or 1.148.000km) barely rusty, so it is in a very good condition. Everything works perfectly fine, except the back headrest function. I bought it for 4200€.
I’ve been adding a lot of cosmetic things to the car, but it still feels like it’s missing something.
I’m curious what everyone here thinks.
If you had to pick one Mercedes for long distance driving, which model would you choose?
I’m mainly thinking about 4 to 8 hour highway trips, not daily commuting. For me, comfort is probably the biggest factor, especially the seats, ride quality, cabin noise, and how relaxed the car feels after a few hours on the road.
I’ve been looking at models like the E Class, S Class, CLS, and some of the AMG models, but I’d love to hear from people who actually take their Mercedes on longer trips.
What model do you have, and how does it feel after driving for several hours? Anything you particularly like or dislike about it for road trips?
Coming up on 50k miles, what maintenance do you guys recommend I absolutely get done?
