Hi all. I sold my Benz for a Camaro...

Had a Benz ML350 Bluetec Diesel SUV, and now I have a 1LT, 2012, low mileage (20,000 miles); and I loooove it! And I'll get $75 oil changes instead of $450 oil changes.





Drives like a dream, and the V6 is remarkably agile. Love this, and I should have changed aeons ago.

Any tips for me? New pipes were recommended; and I use regular gas?

Thanks for all the welcomes and tips. I can't tell you how nice it is to

a) Drive this uber cool car
b) Drive a Chevy
c) Drive a car that turns heads :-)
d) Not pay Mercedes Benz extortion prices for parts and service anymore.

I mean for real... the window switch on my C-class went last year. Dealer wanted $400 for the part. I bought it myself in the USA for $38, the original Bosch part. That is usurious, making $38 into $400, so no more of that!
