Just wondering, in the longer run (3 years), who will retain more of its value, the ML350 or the ML500?

Percentage wise I believe that the ML350 has a slight edge. If you check historical data I believe that supports my statement. I purchased the 500 as I liked the additional power and the features that came with it. Resale value is not that important to me.

I agree with the 350 having an edge. The other thing that will aid this is the V8s will get new engines next year, so the current ones will be hurt a little by that in resale. But, the difference in the big picture view is small.

If fuel economy isn't a big deal for you, go with the 500. In my opinion the trade off in fuel economy is well worth the extra power.
