Absolutely LOADED '14 ML350BT AVAILABLE!

I just LOVE my new, 2014 ML350 BlueTEC. I just HATE not having my 2013 S550. So, I have decided to send my gorgeous, Polar White, Black Leather, Anthracite Poplar Wood, AIRMATIC, Active Curve, ULTRA LOADED, 3,600 mile, FLAWLESS ML down the road and to get a new S Class. Please check out ebay listing: 151363602066.
My ML had an MSRP of over $76K and is a golden opportunity for someone who missed ordering the magnificent SIX CYLINDER diesel, to still get their hands on a MINT CONDITION, NEAR NEW vehicle.
I am in Newport Beach, CA.

ML350 BTC & C300
I wouldn't be surprised if someone overseas contacts you to buy it.

Most folks don't have an appreciation for things like the Active Curve System which all by itself was almost $3 grand. The fact of the matter is that most folks--even most of the enthusiasts here on this forum--are simply happy with finding a car sitting on a dealer's lot. Most folks are willing to compromise and to simply take what they can find. If you are dead set in having AirMatic, Active Curve and all of the other SPC & regular options on this vehicle and you MUST have the six cylinder BlueTEC engine, then this one is pretty much the only game in town. Yeah, I'm asking top dollar, but this is a very special ML350BT, virtually impossible to find anywhere else in the country. So, what's a few grand one way or the other? The first time you take a very twisty road and the Active Curve System makes you feel like you are driving a Porsche 911, the thought of having spent a few thousand more for this ML will be the furthest thing from your mind and you'll have this huge smile on your face.

Maybe that high rate of export story is exaggerated.

You did a great job listing your ML on eBay! Great images! Someone will be interested. Might have to relist several times as you are looking for that special buyer.

So how much did you actually pay for it? Was it you that said you got 10% off?

This is really over priced. I got my 14 ml350 gas, also fully loaded, MSRP 75k, last July. I paid 69k from dealer as brand new 13 miles on it.

We are all very happy for you, but you really don't get it: the ML350 BlueTEC--the SIX CYLINDER DIESEL, is no longer available. Gas ML's are not hard to find. You are comparing apples with oranges.

Yeah. I see it is the "limited edition" diesel. It's just my personal opinion. Nothing more.

I have this same car, except black and HID lights and no running boards. Waited ten months for the special order. I know what it is and that's why I want another for my West coast office. Most cars depreciate though a fair amount the day you sign the papers. If you reconsider, I'm interested.

You're right, it is your opinion, which I respect. My apologies.

As it turns out, there were no takers for my ML on ebay, the listing has expired and I am not going to list it again. The fact of the matter is that I am in the fortunate position of not having to sell this vehicle before ordering my new S. I do have an occasional need for a utility vehicle, so I might as well just keep this one. The reason I wanted to sell it, is because it will now sit outside every night, once the new S arrives. I hate leaving nice cars outside all day and night, but the ML is leased, so why should I care? In about 33 months, I'll just give it back to MB and that will be that. Thanks to all who commented.

I just bought a 2014 ML350 BT and was called a criminal by a Boston MB dealer. The #1 exporter request is the panoramic roof.

Google
"U.S. Targets Buyers of China-Bound Luxury Cars"

The Boston MB dealer had the car I wanted with the lighting package, parktronic, driver assist package, etc for $57K
