It's a fair deal.....

but not a great one. Sport package is a nice bonus. Problems with MLs seem to be different with each vehicle. My 1999 has been basically problem free but, others have had nothing but problems. See if you can get the vehicle history and go from there.

Way too expensive....

even at 33,800. Should be sub 30k imho.

FYI my '00 ML430 fully loaded is only work about 22k trade in.

Check around some more before you jump.
If you do buy it, make sure it comes with the extended 100,000 mile warranty - you'll likely need it.
