This is the first trade I don't have my heart in.
I love that ML and don't like the extras included in the option packages available on the GLE.
I only drive about 5,000 miles a year but the ML is getting along in age.
There is a $6,000 discount on the 2018 and a decent allowance on the ML
so it looks like time to trade on hold for a long time.

Dont hesitate on 2018. Mercedes has made this vehicle as good as it can get over the years. The options such as Exterior Sport Package or AMG will probably not be available in the first year. Id rather have a 2018 with everything i want then be the "beta" tester for a first year run vehicle that will not have everything you want.
