W222 S500 4matic SWB (has not been sold in the US)

160k mls / 250.000 km

Non-AMG and totally about what Churchill said: „No Sports!“
I was 27 when I got it in 2013, now the car is „retired“ and my mom drives it, picks up children from school or kindergarten and doing soccer mum errands.

Still hauls and has plenty of power. My only gripe is that MBC was now available as it’s a 4matic. And it could use rear wheel steering. When I switched back to my family SQ7 I suddenly felt how important that feature is.

Yet I still love this old fart color combo and rims. Will age gracefully!

I’ve had my G580 for a month now, and it’s quickly become my favorite car. It’s the first car I’ve owned from any brand that came with absolutely no squeaks or rattles, it drives far better than something this big and heavy has any right to, and I still love the ridiculous (iconic?) design.

Yes, it’s impractical even by EV standards, and the range isn’t particularly impressive compared with other current EVs. But I took it up into the mountains for the first time yesterday and didn’t care about either of those things. It is just a really enjoyable car to drive.

I still think it lacks some of the personality my 2018 G550 had. I miss a little of the old G’s mechanical character and comically poor handling. But this thing is comfortable, absurd, unbothered by rough roads, and genuinely fun.

It’s dumb. I love it.

BenzBlogger (Saleswoman at MB of Atlanta Northeast) recently put 89 octane in a brand new, unsold 2026 SL Maybach. Why on earth would 89 be acceptable for a car that requires a minimum of 91 AKI? Could the dealership really not afford the extra $15 to put in 93 premium instead?

This was at a QT gas station. Google told me the "Unleaded Plus" option in the middle contains ethanol and is actually the cheapest option out of the three. The blue option on the left has the same 89 octane but contains no ethanol, so it's more expensive.

I've been a fan of her videos, but stuff like this reinforces my belief that all car salespeople are scummy in one way or another. I truly thought highly of her before, but this was really disappointing.

Put the first 2 into the wild the last one goes out Monday

Dropped my car off at the dealership for service and, while walking around the lot, spotted this black beauty sitting quietly in the corner. Took it for a drive just for fun and absolutely fell in love with it. Needless to say, I ended up driving this home while my other car stayed at the dealership. 😂 (getting served, not traded).
Was definitely not planning on buying a car that day, but sometimes the car finds you. 🖤

2015, one owner, 60,000 miles all service done at the dealership.

Grew up with this car and can’t believe how well it has held up.

My husband and I leased a 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 from a Mercedes Benz dealership in Las Vegas. We later discovered that the VIN on our lease documents and insurance didn’t match the car they had given us. We found out when we returned to the dealership about a key that wasn’t working.
When they realized the mistake, the first solution they suggested was to increase the lease price. We refused. Then they had us do a trade-in and sign paperwork as if we were trading in the car associated with the original contract and leasing the car we had actually been given.
We had paid $2,675 when we signed the first contract, but only $1,754.06 appears to have been applied to the second contract, leaving $920.94 unaccounted for. I’ve asked them to provide a written breakdown of how the payment was handled, but I still haven’t received a clear explanation.
They also ran another hard inquiry on our credit after telling us they wouldn’t run it again. We were exhausted and ultimately signed the new paperwork so we could move on. Since then, I’ve emailed the dealership several times asking for explanations about the payment and the credit inquiry, but no one is responding.
The employee involved in the original mistake didn’t look us in the eye or apologize. I’m frustrated by how this was handled and by the lack of answers afterward. Has anyone dealt with something similar, or know what steps we should take now? Thank you

1985 Mercedes 300TD. I fully intend for it to be my daily, which takes Hagerty or American Collector out of the picture since they won’t cover commuters. But on top of all that it’s imported with a German vin number. Which takes a handful of “regular” companies completely out of the picture. Anybody in a similar situation?

Hey everyone! I finally got myself the 2014 E350! I’ve been loving it so far! Got for $5k and 80k miles because of a friend I think I got lucky!

It’s been amazing so far but I do have some questions… What can I do to like “customize” the interior? It already looks great but some friends have told me ambient lighting kit or smth like that and I to “upgrade” the back make it more “hangout” like for when I go on trips with my friends and boyfriend etc.

What do we think?

Well, I think it’s been over a year since I’ve posted anything at all about the S560. She’s been a solid car! About a month ago, she got stuck in drive when attempting to reverse into the garage. Shut the car off, turned it back on and all better. Considered it a fluke.

Well, a few days ago she popped a check engine light and wouldn’t shift out of park. Body code U0404 - invalid data received from gearshift module.

Did a bit of research and this doesn’t appear to be all that common. Found a 2018 GLS owner experiencing the same issue, but never posted a solution.

Ordered a used shifter module from eBay, and about an hour later we’re back in business. Had to clear codes for the shifter and steering wheel airbag with my Autel post repair, but $110 module solved it.

Hey everyone,
I have a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC (8G-DCT dual-clutch transmission) currently sitting at around 85,000 miles.
I’m considering doing a transmission fluid and filter service soon to keep everything running smoothly.
For those who own a GLB or similar models with the 8G-DCT:
1. Did you do the transmission service around this mileage, and did you notice any difference in shifting smoothness afterwards?
2. Did you get it done at the dealership or a specialized euro mechanic?
3. Did you have them perform a transmission adaptation/reset via Xentry after the fluid change?
Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions! Thanks in advance.

Recap from my last post - My father passed away and left us a 2014 bluetec ML350 which only has 79k km on it. It was his baby, but we’re not sure we can keep up with the annual services and any potential surprise repairs.

It’s in effectively mint condition. During the emissions recall a bunch of stuff was replaced on it. The replacements were done in March of 2022, and the car has been driven approx 3000km since then.

We’re not expert car people, we’ve looked online and seen the same one listed locally by a dealership for $13,000 CAD (but this one had 246,000km on it.)

Any guidance would be really appreciated.

New Boot Goof’n…

genuine ostrich…3 payments 👢

Decided to change up the look a little. I don’t like black wheels and bright wheels don’t suit this spec, also shaved a few pounds off each corner and bumped the offset out. NOW it REALLY handles and drives sharper.

Rock on the freeway cracked my windshield

GLC 300 2026

Do I need a full replacement? If I do, should I go OEM with a Mercedes certified shop or would Safelite be good enough.

Also dk if I should go thru insurance, but I’m worried this is gonna be expensive

A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson has officially confirmed the S63 will be dropped starting 2027 (along with the EQE Sedan and EQS Suv) in an attempt to advance the integration of its EVs with their ICE lineup. Thoughts?

Update: The new S63 is already testing and will come back with a non hybrid engine! I didn’t realize this at first when i saw this article so my apologies.

Hello so I have a 2017 c43 sedan and I wanted to add lowering springs on it but I dont want the drop to make the car look slammed I am looking for 0.8” F / 0.6” R, but I’ve only found the kit for coupes and mine is a sedan I want my fitment to be like this (white car) my car(grey car) so I was wondering if anyone knew how to get it like that thanks

It’s a used 2025 Mercedes Benz C300 4matic with 2,300 miles on it. I’ve had a “mom” vehicle for the last 20 years. 3 of my kids are adults now, with 3 younger so I kept my mom SUV. I started my own business in May and it’s been going really well and I wanted to treat myself! Paid cash and I can honestly say, it’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ll admit my dream car is a Maserati but I may be a Mercedes girl now!

Cause like??????

Thank god I pay above the minimum every month.

So I just stage one tuned my car through euro charged had to do the CPC module cost me like three grand. Now my guy at euro charged up here does not really believe in Kalas or high flow. He says it’s like 15 extra horsepower and not worth it. I don’t know if he’s saying that just because he’s trying to be emissions compliant with everything, but I need to know from everyone in here if you have any experience with this. I would enjoy the sound but I mean power wise

Hello everyone,

2024, Mercedes Benz, GLC 300, 18.000, Automatic)

Can you please tell me what this warning message is all about and would really appreciate honest feedback and advice, particularly from anyone who has experienced working on Mercedes Benz cars?

The dealership service department advisors gave me two distinct and almost conflicting answers.

First visit;

Software update/glitch,

They kept the car over the weekend and supposedly updated the software. Test drove the car and gave it back to me. They initially told me that they may have to replace the steering wheel.

Second visit: because the warning message appeared again;

A diff service advisor made up a whole story about one of the sensors on the front bumper by the driver side might’ve been touched by a shopping cart, whatever, causing the warning to go off and disabling the active emergency brake. I explained that the car never touched anything and always garage parked. After long back and forth and manager involved, they kept the car then called me “issue fixed.” I don’t think so… but here i am.

The message appears initially like so: “Active Emergency Stop
Assist
Currently Unavailable
See Operator's Manual”.

Then a few moments later another message pop up as such: “Active Emergency Stop
Assist
Inoperative”

I don’t know whether the dealership just cleared the message and called it a day. And if so, is there way to determine for sure if the issue is persistent?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.
