Get it or wait for another 6 months

Hi Folks here,
This is my second post here, and after discussion with several nice guys here I would like to go with 2013 Ml63 instead of E63.
I have contact with my local dealer and they have 2 ml amgs in stock right now. The white one is fully loaded and the black one with all possible options except the amg pp. The SA person also mentioned the 2014 ml is available for ordering now.
So just want to ask you guys shall I take the 2013 or wait and order for the 2014.
Hah. Please also share what options did you get for your ml or ml63 amg?

THanks a lot.

Imo don't wait! The quicker you get this great machine the better lol ! Unless you need the 360 camera!

The pp is an option which is a must for the engine cf and red calipers alone!
Other options i would get are command, harman kardon sound system, electric rear view mirrors with memory pack, parktronic and designo interior.

Other options that MUST imo be bought after since they are not available through amg (which i strongly recommend)

- brabus valve controlled exhaust
- carbon interior
- hre rims

Then you have a "perfect monster"

Thanks for reply EVO. I checked your profile which shows you have the ml63 currently. How is the reliability so far? Actually, I am still unsure how will the real world reliability of ml63 (some honour owners have horrible story of this 63).
As for the Barbus exhaust, do you have any drone or loud noise inside cabin during regular driving?
Thanks a lot.

I drove 8'000 km with the ml63 in 3 months and had no problems whatesoever! Honestly the only thing that could happen are the 'brake noise'. I am very impressed with this amg It's extremely well built and very strong imo. The car smells high quality apart the door pins lol (brabus also solves this lol)

Regarding the exhaust it just sounds perfect! The video you find by brabus on YouTube is from outside the car... From inside you just here the large v8. Even if you find it too lound you can switch it to silent mode.
To make the w166 ml63 almost perfect you need the extra after market parts i mentionned imo. I am very complicited to be pleased with a car but this amg is really an incredible machine!

Thanks again Evo. By the way, where did you get the Barbus door pin? Probably, I gonna get it first and when take the car home directly switch it on the monster?
