2006 R350

I bough the car lightly used only with 13500ml 2 years ago. Excellent car over all. one think I'm not Happy with the service a lot of many for just checking the car.other than this. I have no complaints at all. I am just loving every bit of it. The interior is great, I love the exterior style except the front view need to be a little more aggressive, viewed from any other angel it is a beautifully executed design

2006 Black R500

I was needing a vehicle that qualified for a small business suv tax break. I look at getting a large SUV, and few other trucks and then I saw this car. I have to admit that I was not overly impressed when I bought it. I had purchased it because it was the best value i could find that met the tax deduction on 6000 GRVW. I have driven it for a month and the more I drive it the more I love the car. Best value for styling and performance you will find.

Got rid of the cat and bought the Benz

We bought this car 1/2 year ago and haven't regretted it. Sold a 2002 Jag and bought this vehicle with 30,000 miles. Excellent vehicle, roomy, smooth. The styling takes a bit to get used to but it has grown on me. I work at a local university and the young people seem to like to look while older adults don't like it as well. If you want a comfortable car with some style, put this one on your list.

Love It / Had to get used to a few things..

I bought this pre-owned for a good price. Some question the looks- I think the fastback look is awesome. This vehicle is very smooth and quiet and luxurious and big on room. The back doors are huge but one learns to handle them in tighter spots. I would never have paid the new price for this though since I have had a little time in the shop due to some warranty items. Overall I would recommend it- traded my Acura MDX for it & like having a car/suv/van/crossover Benz!

Awesome Car

I got a used R500 with just 15000 miles. I have no complaints at all. I am just loving every bit of it. The interior is awesome, each and every seat has lot of legroom and above all I just love the exterior style.

BETTER THAN AN SUV

Large interior, SMOOTH in all conditions, better mileage than estimates (surprise) and better than my Sequoia, nice to drive a unit that you don't see on every street corner. The price is a little higher than some but the quality is excellent.

very unique car..

Love the car well sort-of. The car on certain roads is my true sanctuary from life kids and work quiet smooth, on some roads the car is louder than my friends Camry. I would have demanded out of my contract if It were not for Chandler Az service and their staff,, It was in the shop longer than I had owned it. Word of advise never buy a car from an out of state dealer unless you get pictures of the whole car, There was a question of chrome wheels on mine but when I picked up the car there was standard wheels on the car.

Versatility and Flexibility

The R is in a class by itself at the moment. It has minivan flexibility and capacity with luxury sedan driveability. The seating in the first two rows is first-class. Gets very pricey when fully equipped, which may be a reason that more did not sell until MB started discounting.

Good Looking Car

This Mercedes-benz is the best in its class. I was thinking about a big SUV but i decided to get this when I saw it. The styling from inside and out is top quality. The navigation system is great but would be better if it was a touch screen. The seating in excelent. Even though it only seats six it is very spacious. When the third row is up it still has plenty of trunk space behind it. I wish they gave roof railings standard. I ahd to get them put on extra for my carrier.
