Yes or no MY13 ML63 w/performance pack? Why?
I'm considering either leasing or financing a MY13 ML63 with performance pack and wanted to know if I should beware of this AMG model as I've never owned one before. My wife loves the looks of it but I hate costly repair bills when I spend money that could be better served making money as that's my business instead of dumping it on repair bills. It is a CPO however so it's under warranty but we keep cars for 5-7yrs. I have read in reviews that the 21" wheels add a much harsher ride even in comfort mode which my wife already can't stand the M3 because of our Colorado potholes. Any real world owner opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

As far as cost to repair you are doing a good thing to get a CPO car to offset any repair but it should go without saying if you have a major motor issue outside of warranty it will be expensive.

I would not worry too much about the ML63 ride with the 21's. It's def not going to be as rough as an M3 that's for sure. I have the 20's but have owned many a vehicle in the past with plus sized wheels, its truly in the suspension geometry. In Sport+ its really not bad at all over bumps. Myself I will be moving up to a 22'' eventually.
