Find a 2015 as they are a last year model. I would personally avoid the BT. 350 4Matic with standard suspension has a proven powertrain.

Did they make many ML's with the P3 Package? My wife's ML is a P1 Car. She does not need all the options as she is basic telling me "I want a ML. AWD. Heated seats, sunroof, backup camera, parking sensors, heated steering wheel and BT to play music. Thats all I need" -Coming right up !

Airmatic is enough reason for me to skip it actually, I don't need to maintain 3 vehicles with it.

Is your ML 350 Iridium Silver or Tenorite Gray? I'm after silver/ash. Missed one at MB N. Palm Beach dragging my feet and going to meetings instead of hopping on a plane. 1 owner 2012 with 64k miles, bought new and serviced there with most of the equipment I'm looking for...oh well.

I agree, but then I come across this.........It would complete my current MB V8 line up, one NA, one supercharged, and now a turbo............I'm freaking out about the maintenance.

Lot of miles and some interior wear + the first year for the W166's. I'd be hesitant. These are the W163's where you can look on here and benzworld and figure out how to DIY all of this. We've got a few more years until that happens, and those odds are looking grim too with all the computers these days. Find a CPO '15 and you can put your mind at ease a bit more.

Tenorite Gray Metalic. Wife wanted that color. I like it too and it shines up super nice! Paid $37,000 at MB of Boston last year with 22k Miles. CPO Warranty. Car is 100% perfect and clean. Knocked them down $1,000. Got $8,000 for her old car. Put another $8,000 down.

Not sure. But I don't think I want to spend almost $25k (tax, tags, shipping) for a vehicle which will have 100k miles in about a year and I may have payments for another 4 years. It looks nice though, and I would like the turbo addition to the lineup but I don't think it makes sense for me.

understandable, i would just say go for a '15 then, a lot are still out there, maybe the ML400 will fit your taste? its a twin-turbo V6 and the standard options that come with it are pretty good

From my understanding
the 20" AMG Sport package / sport body
SVC 360" camera / BSA
HK Logic 7
ambient lighting
Panoramic roof
Lighting package (ive seen the 400 w/o the xenon's so you have to look for it)
Heated/cooled cups
MB-Tex wrapped dash console
