New Truck! PICS! (56k beware)
Brought it home today...
1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320 I really wanted an suv that was capable of towing an SVX, yet was comfortable and refined, with excellent gas mileage. Towing Cap: 5000 lb Highway Mpg: 25 Plus, well... its a Mercedes! The dealer, Contemporary Motorcars (MB/ Acura), of Erie PA, was excellent! The car was just serviced fully and new tires were installed recently. It runs, drives, and looks excellent! I am VERY satisfied with it. My complementary new floormats are on order and I get free car washes for life .

I've always had a soft spot for Mercedes.
...but it's not a truck.

How much did it cost you that ML?
Over here they are sold for around 20K for the 1999-2000 (imported from the US, and all customs paid in full). It must have costed you there around 11-13K right?
