Smile Just bought a 2008 ML350 EDITION 10

Hey guys (and girls )...after much discussion and negotiating finally bought an Obsidian Black / Black-Macadamia 2008 ML350 Edition 10 from Ray Catena Mercedes Benz...yes i know this thread is worthless without pics :pics:

...I'm taking delivery sometime early this week, monday-tuesday, as the car is being delivered to the dealer right off the truck...so I'll have pics up then.

If anyone in NJ or in surrounding area is looking for a great deal on an Edition 10 PM me with your info and I'll get you in touch with the right guys.

I actually ended up buying locally and therfore paid a bit more then the lowest price I was quoted, but it's worth it for me in the long run, having no hassle/worries with getting loaners, great service and with possible emergency situations etc. for the life of the car which for me usually is a run of a good 10 years


I'll have real life pics up soon but just in case you don't know what it looks like...here's this for now http://www.caranddriver.com/gallery....slide=on&cnt=9

HAHA!! When do you OFFICIALLY get it..?

Is it true you have to order the MLs (especially in diesal) well in advance? I heard like three months!!

blazinginder, congrat. on your new ML.

Just few questions. Did you purchased your ML at the Edison dealer or the Union dealer. If in Edison, did they have a White ML 10 Edition in the show room? I was planning to drop by Ray Catena in Edison to see and test drive the ML & GL (not ready to purchase). The lease on my wife GX470 is coming to the end (1/31/08).

I leased 2 MLs with Ray Catena before the Lexus. Everything was fine except for their service dept. Totally worst experience I ever had. The last two yrs of the lease, we serviced our ML with David Michael.

The wife wants to stay with Lexus. I want to go back to MB (especially the GL450). For the ML, it between ML 10 Edition or ML550 with only P1 option.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
CK530

Very Nice!

Just a suggestion, get that dealer sticker off your tailgate as your ML is still new, looks like crap IMHO.

I don't know why the tag these cars the way they do, a license plate frame just isn't enough these days I guess.

All in all, Very Very nice ML dude!

If it were a sticker I would have definitely had it taken off but being that it's a nice metal badge of a gullwing and the dealer name, to me it isn't tacky, I actually like but I guess its just preference
