ML63 Information

Hello,

I am looking to by an older ML63 2009-2012. I lean toward older style, I do like supercharged vs turbo more for my experience with them, and I have an SL55.

I do not know much about the AMG SUV's and I expect I'll do a little work to it as I did with the SL.

Any thoughts as to the better option on the ML would be appreciated.

Bill

i prefer the older models. 2010 / 2011. i guess at some stage they removed those nice silver side strips. and of course the raised aggressive front hood, went in favour of something a lot milder. nice chrome handles went bye bye too.

2010 has the updated navigation and media system, that's one added benefit. Other than that all the 6.3L are roughly the same. Nothing else changed until the 2012 biturbos but I prefer the NA 6.3L, the engine is a screamer

I just traded my '07 SL55 for an '14 ML63. Great, fun vehicle so far. More room, quieter, updated nav with a lot of driver "aids". Fast.
