just bought an ml63!

I just bought a used ml63. 2007 model with ~32k miles. Well, the purchase is pending an inspection by an MB dealer in Chicago. Any recommendations for a dealer in Chicago to have the car inspected at? or comments on the car I just purchased?

As long as the inspection passes, I will be the proud owner of an ml63!

Here is the car:

2007 ML 63
Great. What was the final sale price? I bought my 2007 ML63 last year and I have been thrilled.
Have the car checked out and then take a deep breath knowing you have a lot of warranty left.

paying 49.5 and they are covering shipping the car to me. hopefully the car checks out at inspection. Having it checked out at MB of Hoffman Estates.

was hoping the dealer could knock some dollars off since it doesnt have the xenon lights as they advertised, but they said they could not. should I walk away from the sale?

Over xenon lights? No. You can always add them yourself in the future if you deem it necessary.

I think this is a very good price. I could not find an ML 63 for less than $55K (from a dealer) in October 2008. I would go for it, and if I did not already buy one then I would probably have purchased it. The free shipping is very nice.
