| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Bought used 4 years ago, very inexpensively with 23k miles on it. Put $1800 into repairs over 130k miles, mostly minor things like sensors, oil leaks, etc |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
There is always a premium to drive a MB. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Its a Mercedes-Benz so one has to pay for the brand name. Its an expensive vehicle, but not out of reach. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
too expensive |
