Don't get too excited... it's nothing brand new or crazy.

Just bought a 2000 ML55 with only 75k. The wifey has a nice car to drive now...and I get to steal an SUV now and then!

You should have seen the dealership I bought it from. Bugatti Veyron, SLS AMG, Drophead cab, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maseratis...never seen anything like it.

Here ya go for pics of my new baby:

Haha, no kids. The ol' truck just wasn't doing the wife justice. Plus, it's a great deal for the car.

Can't wait to get it in! Had to have it shipped over. It was fun to drive! I had an ML320 several years back and it was still strong at 140k, so I expect quite a few miles out of this one
