First off, Mr. Moderator, please don't move this thread to the "other vehicle discussion" forum to die like you did with my "tempted by the fruit of another" thread.
I am looking for input from current WK2 owners (or soon to be, or perhaps have driven one) who also may have owned or driven recent models back to 2007 of the Mercedes ML63 AMG.
The reason is this, I am wondering about the pros and cons of each. I drove this ML today and it was a pretty sweet ride
http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve...-Canadian-FULLYLOADED-MINT-W0QQAdIdZ332455551
The cost is $49,999 + GST + maybe 3-4 k for extended warranty.
I am wondering about things like vehicle reliability, cost of repair down the road, depreciation rate (e.g. how did the wk1's hold up?), drivability of vehicle, etc. I get the feeling from some posters in this forum that they likely have experience with both vehicles.
So any input you can provide is much appreciated. I am not sure I feel like waiting until spring for the Jeep, but if it makes much more sense to do so, I will do so (e.g. no one else will have driven vehicle already, cost to repair, etc).
Thanks
Derrick
