I stumbled upon the ML63. What do you think? Should I trade my S550 for it?

Here its the total opposite. The 500/550 are far and few and outnumbered 100 to 1. But they cost more at resale then the 350.
The only reason I can see why the 500 & 550 cost less on the used market in your area is dependant on the gas prices.
If your gas prices are extremely high (Anywhere outside North America) I can see that as the reasoning.
But to compare the two as far as performance and durability it's a no brainer. 550/500 trumps the 350.

I'm surprised the 350 cost more as you say.

So I am gonna pick up a new car probably by next week! I got to go check out two.
2006 ML500: Price is 10k, 128 miles on it, and clean title. Bad thing is that it is silver exterior with silver rims and gray interior. The seats are not leather and are like this cloth.
2005 Cayenne Turbo: Price is 13k, 132k miles on it, and clean title. Bad things are the no sunroof option, mileage, and non techno rims.

Just an update. Test drove 2 of them, one 500 and another 350. The 350 had standard suspension while the 500 had the airmatic. Honestly think both rode the same and that the airmatic is useless. However the 500 was more powerful. Anybody know if the slow rear power hatch and power steering are common issues?
