After having the 325i since 06 with nearly 50k miles. I am perfectly happy with it. 0 issues.

So on sunday, didn't have anything to do, somehow I found myself at a MB dealer in phoenix. They have 1 black ML left with 30 miles on the clock. I lowballed them with 35k, w/o the intention to buy and knowing for sure they would never take it. . 60mins later, I ended up with a 09 ML 350 AWD for just 38.5k.... that is a crazy deal, msrp is nearly 50k... and there isn't any incentive on this one, unlike the E-class

the ML is super quiet and smooth compare to my 3 series. I just feel more protected inside. plus it feels and looks more luxurious too

No, i didn't trade in the BMW. Still don't know what to do with it yet. maybe clean it up and sell it on CL

the SA is Garry at Arrowhead, if you're buying a MB and live in AZ. I can give you his info

Just want to share my story , since I've been a member here since 06 and BMW is my 1st luxury car (Acura Legend before that)

the ML is smooth?? No way. The suspension is stiff as hell.

smooth compare to my 325i with 162s 18" RFTs the ML has 19" by the way
But that was not the #1 reason I bought it. it's because of the price

Congrats! Sounds like a really good deal.

Nice deal, congrats!

If your 325i is paid off, I'd say keep it around. That way, you'll have the ML for a cushy, luxurious ride, and the 325i for when you feel like attacking some corners.

+1 for the good deal. You can't really compare being protected in a 3 series vs ML though. It's like saying I feel more safer in my 3 series than a miyata.

true. that is a good deal.

great deal

just for kicks, go to bmw and see how much you can get as a trade in towards a 335i! lol

if they (though i do doubt it...) give you more than what you paid, you just made some quick easy money lol

or list it on CL or cars.com haha

I have seen people get crazy deals and make money off it.

i made friends from the salesman that sold me my 335i, and he said they sold a 08 M3 convertible for 65k out the door including taxes licensing etc.

the guy went around and sold the car for 67k after driving it for 2 weeks.
he then went back to the dealer and bought a 09 coupe for about 66k.

basically, he got 1k for driving around a M3 vert for 2 weeks lol.
i dont know why he decided to get a coup, but my guess is he say a good opportunity with selling the vert... also, he got DCT so many he didnt want 6MT?

anyways

congrats!

MBenz are very smooth cars :P

I may go with this route or until I can sell it at a good price.
yep, after got out of college for 2 yrs, I saved enough to put down 75%, then paid it off a yr later. So the BMW is all mine

MB is doing 1.9% on this ML is pretty attractive too

no way, people actually do this? hard to believe because dealers can't be that stupid. Why didn't they do this themselves? we lose almost 10% on TTL alone when we bought the car. how can we recover it back if we sell it used?

[positiveions]

impusle buying. love those.
now,do they have C class for 20k?

[Garduna]

wow congrats on the new benz
