Is that new? I would have thought a year old or so would be decent value. On the MB site there are 07 plates ML63 for £41K with a list of £75K. I would have thought you could get it for less than £40K.

it is a new one that im thinking about,the facelift model, they are losing a shed load of money so i would want a amazing deal on a new one.

the thing is you can end up losing more than half in the first year if you are not carefull.

Why???

No really Im curious

I have followed your posts here and you seem like a decent chap
I mean well with this post
Its not a p1ss take - honest

But seriously why wold a dealer have a new AMG ML in stock?

I cant think of a more unpopular car at the moment smile

Is it a cancelled order from which you have kept the deposit or do MB UK drop cars such as this on you to sell from time to time?

Cheers

Most, if not all, Merc dealers are owned by large automotive groups, Inchcape etc. There are virtually no 'independent' dealers left in their network. So, I would expect there to be many MLs in stock around the country, cars which can be passed from dealer to dealer dependent on where the demand is. I would also think there is an arrangement with Merc UK, which means that the dealers cover the storage costs and don't pay Merc UK for the cars until they are actually sold to private/corporate customers. I bought a £57K GL320CDI this year, hardly 'top of the pops' the car was within the Statstone dealer network and had to be transported to my supplying dealer. I suspect it is the same story for the ML63 AMG.

Hi,

We were given an allocation of a face-lift car; as an AMG centre we have to have a 4 AMG vehicles in stock at any-time, hence being given this behemoth in the current market!! If we don't sell it, it will probably be registered as a demonstrator in the New Year.

Thanks for the compliment BTW thumbup

Can vouch for Matt being a genuinely nice guy.

Never realised you had to have 4 AMG's in stock?? Is that in each dealership or across your network?

Thanks mate thumbup

The standards for 2009 have just been released and they have relaxed the rules regarding the number of AMG's we keep, but last year we needed to ave 4 to be a performance centre.

I'll pm you the spec of the car whne I get a chance, and see if it's something you moght be interested in; I assume you would rather talk about the money side of things via e-mail so I'll do that.

We haven't had a confirmed date for the 10th anniversary yet, but I would expect it to be due in Spetember/October, considering the long build-times for ML's.

Would it not be better to hire one???

You can hire a new one for £1150 a month over 2 years, the fact a year old one has shed £25k in year one and will shed another £10-15k in year two meaning even if you bought cash you would be loosing £1460 a month if things don't get worse.


I would rather let someone else take the risk myself at the moment and know I can throw the keys back.

What if that car is trading at £25k in 2 years?? That is a £50k hit.
