Thinking about a New ML 550

My 04 Cayenne TT is going back to Porsche in the next two weeks at the end of it's lease after 4 years of misery. [good riddance] and I'm thinking of a new ML 550 as a replacement. I' ve always had Lexus, Porsche, Jags etc, but for the first time I'm contemplating the Mercedes. Can't quite swing the AMG at this time but what should I look for in the way of options, and what should I stay away from. I usually get a fairly loaded vehicle, but only drive it less than 10k per year.

Thoughts and comments, and suggestions are welcome Left-Over 08, or Order an 09? No particular hurry.

This is my first post on this forum, but a regular on F-Chat and 6 speed.
I've attached some "eye candy" of my other daily driver just to keep the reading interesting.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Think I'll wai for an 09

Two tone interior, Face Lift, Lights, keyless entry, and LED Tails.

Worth the extra couple of months.

Fleetrates.com ?

Anybody try these guys on a new car purchase/lease?

Thier pricing seems much better than the local dealers.
