The 2008 Mercedes ML63 AMG is a comfortable and reliable

The 2008 Mercedes ML63 AMG is a comfortable and reliable vehicle. It's the best SUV I ever owned. The power of the 6.3 liter engine is exhilarating. I highly recommend this model. Even in today's suv market it outperforms other vehicles. A+++

Disappointed because of overall condition

Not happy as the condition was nothing but a constant oil leak even after investing $1600 to fix and being told it would be another $2500 To get it stopped

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned!

We bought this SUV used and I dare say that if at all possible, I would never go back to any other make. It is super reliable, I have had no major issues ( it had 109K miles on it) and it goes through snow like no other!

Good Option for Section 179 vehicle

I bought this car for the Section 179 vehicle deduction as it is over 6000 lbs and therefore classifies as a truck. I bought the 2008 in 2014, so six year old at time of purchase. Rubber additive issue after 4 years. So suggest if buying used to get one 2 years tops. Expensive to maintain, but rugged on the inside. Mine still looks great after much use and a big dog.

Great car! Handles very well and luxurious at them

Quite comfortable, handles well. Clean interior and love the body lines! Good acceleration, good braking. I have owned very eco friendly cars, I cannot day it gets great gas mileage but I knew that when I purchased it. Overall, great car!!

Best SUV I have owned

Bought this car with 106000 mi used and have not been disappointed. The V8 engine is high performance and 0-60 is 5.7 seconds with the high mileage. When I bought the car the interior was like new, the seats are comfortable enough that you can travel for hours without discomfort. Only downside is cost of repairs, as you get charged more for brand even outside of Mercedes dealership that you wouldn’t on other German makes like my VW rabbit.

Happy with the car!!

Very nice. Smooth to drive! I purchased a used Mercedes for my youngest when he was at school and until now he is still driving it with more than 200,000 miles in it. I hope I get to drive mine that long or longer. I love it!

Known for problems/oil leaks

$3200 to repair the front end and now needs a $4500 repair for mail seal leak, which is a known problem with these cars. The seals are cheap but it is a 10 hour repair job, or more!

MB V-6 CDI SUV - Love it, love it!

This SUV has more bells and whistles than I could ever imagine! Ice cold A/C on command (no waiting forever for it to cool down), leather seats are immaculate, great powerful engine! Fun to drive. The convenient push-button hatch makes it easy when my hands are full. This vehicle has been very well taken care of! GERMAN Engineering at its BEST!
