Those that know me will surely agree that, by my standards, our ML63 has lasted very well indeed - I'm approaching 10 months in ONE car 
Ha....and it's not even mine, but the missus takes what she's given 
Anyway, circumstances have dictated this rather than any specific desire to change the car - in fact, I actually don't really want to change it because a) it's one of the most impressive all rounders we've ever had and b) it's the perfect compliment to my imminent AMG GT.
However, as well as being car-less (having sold my SLS back in November and rocking around in whatever car MB give me....presently another ML!), I'm also currently homeless
Kind of. I had the opportunity earlier this year to get access to a plot with planning permission (in an area of my village that I've aspired to live in) to design and build my own house. These opportunities in life don't come round very often and it should prove to be shrewd investment. So, I sold our house (in 4 hours, not bad for a little Leicestershire village!) and moved in with in-laws to help fund this project. Problem is, we want everything on this new build (it's so much cheaper doing everything now rather than later) and this isn't doing the budget any good so unfortunately, something's got to give. And after much thought it's the ML which will bite the dust 
I've got a reasonable amount of equity in it which I can plough into the build and I've considered all manner of alternatives from the usual suspects of BMW, Jag, Audi, Merc etc.....but I'm not really a VAG fan, I've had most iterations of the current BMW range so am a bit bored of them and theres not much else that takes our fancy. The key criteria being it had to be a petrol, have 4 seats, a decent sized boot. It also had to be relatively modest for work purposes, a nice refined cruiser and have decent spec. We very nearly plumped for a brand new E400 coupe as the deals on these are phenomenal but in the end, I wanted something a bit more....fruity. So, with all that in mind, what better fit than a facelift E63 AMG??
Sensible eh? 
And I think I've just done a deal on one of the cheapest facelift cars in the UK, subject to seeing the car at the weekend. Not bad for a one year old car with 11k on the clock and some nifty options....diamond white paint, pan roof and fully dynamic air conditioned seats being notable inclusions
Not sure I'm going to enjoy slumming it in the E63 as much as lording it up in the ML but it's a means to an end and a change is as good as anything.
