C230 Sport Coup

My girl's 2006 ML finally is giving up the ghost at 170 something thousand miles. Needs the balance shaft and intake manifold and the power steering pump has gone out for the second time. Plus there are other outstanding issues she never bothered to fix. So it's looking like we'd be better off just buying another vehicle. Not too sure what to do with the old one. Just had new Michelin tires put on it. I was against that but she insisted, should have got something cheaper.
So we are looking for an ML350 outside of the affected range for the balance shaft which I do believe 2009 and above is okay.
Has to have the lighting package, the rear door that opens by itself, leather, sunroof, also if it had the trailer hitch package that would be awesome.
Also would be best to be located in California. Don't want to deal with smog issues for a 49 state vehicle.

Silver or desert sand IE tan metallic, possibly blue or white. But not black or green. under a hundred thousand miles. in good running shape.
And under $15,000.

If you know of such a vehicle p.m. me.
Thanks!

Buy the new one with ****ty tires and put the tires from the old one on there.
