Watching.

Find a 2015 as they are a last year model. I would personally avoid the BT. 350 4Matic with standard suspension has a proven powertrain.

This guy is a seasoned user so im thinking he'll go for P3 package

05-E55

Definitely!

C280 Sport

Did they make many ML's with the P3 Package? My wife's ML is a P1 Car. She does not need all the options as she is basic telling me "I want a ML. AWD. Heated seats, sunroof, backup camera, parking sensors, heated steering wheel and BT to play music. Thats all I need" -Coming right up !

drwolf

yes they do, it has everything and i mean everything, the airmatic, the massage seats, etc..

C280 Sport

Yikes! That is crazy! Maybe the next ML...GLE I mean.

05-E55

Airmatic is enough reason for me to skip it actually, I don't need to maintain 3 vehicles with it.

05-E55

Is your ML 350 Iridium Silver or Tenorite Gray? I'm after silver/ash. Missed one at MB N. Palm Beach dragging my feet and going to meetings instead of hopping on a plane. 1 owner 2012 with 64k miles, bought new and serviced there with most of the equipment I'm looking for...oh well.

drwolf

i would probably go with P2, comes with most of the bells and whistles, if you ask me

05-E55

I agree, but then I come across this.........It would complete my current MB V8 line up, one NA, one supercharged, and now a turbo............I'm freaking out about the maintenance.

Lot of miles and some interior wear + the first year for the W166's. I'd be hesitant. These are the W163's where you can look on here and benzworld and figure out how to DIY all of this. We've got a few more years until that happens, and those odds are looking grim too with all the computers these days. Find a CPO '15 and you can put your mind at ease a bit more.

Tenorite Gray Metalic. Wife wanted that color. I like it too and it shines up super nice! Paid $37,000 at MB of Boston last year with 22k Miles. CPO Warranty. Car is 100% perfect and clean. Knocked them down $1,000. Got $8,000 for her old car. Put another $8,000 down.

drwolf

just makes sure you get all the service records before you decide. good looking car, but i see some wear and tear and does it have ambients?

05-E55

Not sure. But I don't think I want to spend almost $25k (tax, tags, shipping) for a vehicle which will have 100k miles in about a year and I may have payments for another 4 years. It looks nice though, and I would like the turbo addition to the lineup but I don't think it makes sense for me.

05-E55

Isn't time to sell?? Lol.

C280 Sport

lol. I am good! I want her to get many many years and miles out of it! I told her at least 200,000!

drwolf

understandable, i would just say go for a '15 then, a lot are still out there, maybe the ML400 will fit your taste? its a twin-turbo V6 and the standard options that come with it are pretty good

From my understanding
the 20" AMG Sport package / sport body
SVC 360" camera / BSA
HK Logic 7
ambient lighting
Panoramic roof
Lighting package (ive seen the 400 w/o the xenon's so you have to look for it)
Heated/cooled cups
MB-Tex wrapped dash console

05-E55

Any concerns/problems with Xenon or Intelligent Light System?

drwolf

None so far, My mom has a 16 S550 with the LED front lamps and it puts my xenon's to shame, thats the only thing lol, better than the standard halogens

05-E55

Finally done! 2013 ML350, Silver/Ash, 4matic 38,500 miles. Thanks for the input.

C280 Sport

Nice! Post some pics.
