Was listed $45k or so, I beat on them a bit as it had been there awhile and the weather up there has been bad so they have not been moving iron. I stopped at another dealer yesterday morning on the way to see this one, a very similar car had literally just come in from a Daimler employee, they were fixing yo do the CPO inspection, about the same price. There's one in CO that's nice too, a bit more but 2014. They wanted to send it to me. There's a bunch around similar prices. MB announces a new CpO deal tomorrow.
We drove a 2012 bluetec GL, it was noticeably less peppy and the engine and tranny were really working to move the car. We drove a GL 450 and it moved like the bluetec ML. Gas v diesel is probably a wash on fuel costs. --R (sent from my miniPad) On Mar 1, 2015, at 9:22 PM, Kaleb C.
