Reliability! how is it

Stepping out of an 2003 FX 45.
Never really had any problems at all since 06'
Bought mine with 30k
Only the fact that the engine had the worlds most annoying power bog.
a beast then a slug within seconds. they could never find the prob!

What can i expect from an 08 merc ml 63 w 25k
Also if its a certified pre owned cant i lease as welll as buy.
Dealer said we can only purchase


any help would be awsome!
