drwolf, yep! I keep pinching myself when I remember the deal. Listed for $41,500 with 30,400 miles. We were looking for the ventilated seats (Texas) and got all the other goodies. Dealer gave us the mid range of the KBB value of the wife's Infiniti so we got the benefit of the tax differential. Did all the negos by email/text. Got to the dealer (133 miles away), inspected and test drove. They looked over the Infiniti and in 12 mins they said ok. 1 hour later we were on our way home. '14 ML350 CPO's are still being advertised for $41k+ with MSRP's below $60k. Once in a lifetime....

Which ambient lights are you referring to? I thought I had it on my 2014 ML350 but the options to adjust color is not available in the Settings menu.
BTW- We picked it up last week (CPO w/40,000, P1, Lane Tracking, Blind Spot, Lane Keeping, Lighting Package, Bi-Xenons, Keyless-Go, Trailer Hitch, Running Boards) for $34K including Extended MB Warranty Unlimited mileage until 2021. Hope that was a good deal.

Thanks!
I read that page in the OM, went out to the Vehicle and I do not have those options in my Settings Menu. I thought it would be the same as my 2014 E350- Nope!

drwolf, you wanna see stacked? The options depreciate so fast. '14 ML3504m, 40k on the clock. MSRP $74,310. Asking $41,800. BUT, no ventilated seats, no running board lights, no trailer hitch, no Distronic, no Lane Keeping Assist.

P1,
Lighting package,
HK 7 (the one feature i wanted the most, since i loved it in the W212 i was leasing beforehand and it is twice as nice in the W166), Heated seats
Trailer Hitch
Illuminated side running boards
Factory Tints
Parktronic
Panoramic Sunroof
4Matic AWD
19" double spokes (may upgrade to AMG one day)
i thought about adding BSA but for the OEM parts/install quote was near 4K for install
adding the ambient lights will probably nee to go and find OEM dash/side panels/door sills, too much money, im not in the car at night alot but would have nice to have the blue all inside the car

I didn't even know I had this feature until I read this thread. Thanks! Just changed the setting to Polar (blue), but it looks weird because you just get a thin blue strip of lighting in the dash/doors, but all the rest of the lighting in the car stays amber, so it's a mismatch. Changed it right back to Solar. Lol

Yep, I mean the changing of colors is useless. All they need to do is provide the Solar (amber) lighting (to match the rest of the lighting in the car). The other choices are useless cause they don't match.
