I'm seriously drawn to this (as posted by @Skd884 on the Ebay forum): Used Mercedes-Benz M CLASS ML63 5dr Tip Auto Stunning Full Service History, Super Rare 5 Doors ESTATE for sale in Flint, Flintshire - RobertsCarscouk
I'm not a fan of black cars, but I love the interior, and I think it goes well with black. It's a bit of a Q-car, too; take the 6.3 badges off the front wings, and it could be a cooking diesel - until the lights change and the four tailpipes bellow (I presume) up the road...
Stupid cheap, too, for what it is, but I suppose the high road tax and the horrendous fuel consumption militate against it.
I liked the driving position and comfort of the W164 ML400 diesel I had, but it was, unsurprisingly, less than agile. Road test reports suggest the 63, on 19" wheels, is a lot better. I also have my doubts about whether the high-revving M156, a sporting engine, is really suited to a great lump of a car like this. Apart from that, my only concern is how to play my music off a USB stick or SD card.
I'm not sure whether to buy it. Any and all opinions welcome.
