Any help would truly be appreciated. We are trading in a 2012 ML350 BlueTec.

Please double-check the "run flat" option - a bit unusual in my expereince - the reason I say this is "normally" that option is selected when the B&O system is added - since the B&O takes up extra room under the rear cargo compartment.
Run-Flats - without B&O making them necessary - are not necessarily the top choice for rubber unless it "has to be done".
On benchmark value - please check edmunds.com - under "research" which adjusts for your area, select the options in the edmunds menu, mileage - and edmunds will show the "certified" benchmark value for you.

after going from a X164 GL550 to a X166 gl63 ...
I can't say I see the value proposition for the new used car. Your GL350 is a very desirable car... a switch to a GL550 would be more interesting. I really liked my 164... have you driven the 550?

We currently have an ML350 not a GL. I think you misread. I would agree with you if we had GL350 going to a 450 for sure.
That GL63 looks like a sweet ride.

am loving the GL63 .. it is almost worth the money! hahaha but once you go AMG I don't think that I could ever go back.
you should drive the 550 for the heck of it.. it is 88% the AMG and a really nice car.

I am sure we will test drive the 450 and the 550 but since it's her car, she doesn't want all the power with less MPG. She is the practical one. Oh I am sure once you go AMG, it would be hard to go back. Enjoy that ride!!!

There a nice optioned 2014 pre-owned, not CPO, one down here in PA I checked out. Clean car fax, clean vin, valid MB warranty but it's a second hand dealer. You could get it a good price I believe.
Auburn designo interior, Steel Blue, 18k miles, inservice date of 12-03-13 and most of the options listed above.
I'll wager you could get it for ~$63k.

Thanks for the link. My wife is ideally looking for Lunar Blue, Black, or White with the Auburn/Black interior, pretty much loaded but she wants the 3 zone climate control and CPO. The Steel Gray is too masculine for her. She is also leaning towards just ordering exactly how she wants it. But I am sure you always get a better deal if it's on the lot versus ordering, correct?

No problem, can never hurt to throw a link up.
Per the better deal, having it on their lot certainly does help, especially if it's been in stock 30+ days. With that said, they located the one I spec'd out at another dealer and brought it in house. They were still willing to work an acceptable discount.
