2008 MY09 ML63

Checking in to say hi after purchasing a 2008 MY09 ML63. Such a beautiful car, 118xxx km, in really nice condition.

Initially I was just browsing dealerships and test driving some SUV's, and wasn't planning on purchasing so soon. However after driving the car, my mind was changed pretty quickly! I run a business, so I'm looking forward to using the car as a daily driver + work vehicle for transporting inventory.

Picked up the car yesterday, amid a huge rain event. Within 20 minutes, flooding in the rear RHS wheel well was present. The boot popped open while driving, door remote stopped working, indicator stopped working - the works really! Looks like the tail light issue wasn't fixed by the previous owner. Missing the car already, towed back to the dealer immediately and hopefully the SAM module doesn't require replacement. So much for an early xmas present.

Looking forward to participating further in the forum.
