My wife is in love with the GLC. Very disappointed to find out that the diesel is over a year away at best. Sigh.

Her 2008 ML320 CDI is doing well with 138k miles. I was very tempted to trade it in on a newer CPO 2014 or 2015 ML or GL Bluetec especially since they are running a 1% for 48 mo finance promotion. But that equates to a payment north of $550. With 2 kids in college that's a no go.

So I just ordered up a boat load of parts to fix the oil cooler and swirl flap debacle on the ML. Going for the 250 km award and beyond. Stay tuned for the updates on this. The thread from a few months back will be invaluable.
