Why not just wait for the new ML?

If anything wait for a new ML (W164) or get an ML500/55.

ML 350
I paid $38,900. In my opinion I had them treading water based on the fact that the new ML is coming out. The reality though is it comes out next fall as a 2006. So do you really want to wait 18 months to buy a car? By that time I will be 18 months from getting another ML, so why wait? Let the new ML get the kinks worked out first. Buy while its cheap and before they revoke the free scheduled maintenance.

Yeah, the ML350 will be a short time replacement, waiting on either the new ML or a Cayenne Turbo...

Well look at it this way - if the 2005 G55K AMG is able to out-accelerate the Cayenne Turbo in straightaways, despite its brick-like aerodynamics, then the ML63 AMG should be able to do quite a bit better than the Cayenne Turbo, at a much cheaper price.

I was told by the sales person that the black ones are $500 less than the metalic colored ones.

The $500 is the metallic paint charge, which is not applicable to black or white ML's.

so thats 500 less you have to pay.... but resale value is best for black and silver cars.
