Whats the thing that pops up in the console, a cup holder or cell phone holder? Any issues I should look at? Tires seem very expensive, no spare, right? How's the motor, good to go or will it need lots of work down the road. It seems like there are a thousand of these for sale on all the sites, why is this? Thanks for any reply's, because I'm ready to pull the wire and buy.
I never thought of using it for a cell phone holder.
I traded an Mercedes ML320 for mine which has the same engine. The engines are very durable. The only problem I ever had with the ML320 was a crank position sensor. I believe the cars are incredible values when you compare it to the Mercedes SLK320. For less than the cost of tires I switched to 18" wheels and tires, which give you a huge choice of tires and prices. My car has 41,000 miles and doesn't have a single squeak or rattle. These are very solid cars!
