All I had a very nice ride home, but was a bit nervous drive my brand new car in track. The new car does have the vehicle collision avoidance warning indication for changing lanes which is nice. It has navigation, heated seats, retractable side mirrors, and other things that I have not discovered yet. The bad news is NO operators manual. It is no where to be found, unless it has a special storage compartment that I haven’t found. I did find a PDF copy of it on MBUSA web site, I have downloaded and am starting to review. Will let you know how things are going after I have driven it for awhile. Have schedule a general car inspection at our local Mercedes dealer to make sure there are no issue with the car, fingers crossed. This car requires DEF, so should be interesting to see how often that needs to be refilled. Car has a little over 86,000 miles on it.
Hope all goes well?

So it should be interesting learning with the new car. It has many new features that the X3 or my previous 1995 Mercedes E300D didn't have, so it will be a bit of a learning curve. I will get a nice initial drive in it, with a 120 mile trip North this coming Sunday to visit with my mother in law.

There also weren't as many diesel version to choose from. Diesels may not have been as desirable and were a little lower price. It is strange when looking at the cargurus web page itwas listing at 18.5K, but when I went to the dealer it was list at 24.5K with a heavy discount. There was a 2014 ML350 Bluetec that I was also considering. It was listed at 21K with 119,000 miles on it. It was white and I really do not like white.
