Just got a ML500, 2003, to replace my ML320

Think I got a good deal???......Just purchased a 2003 ML500, MINT condition, with 140K miles, from the original owner, who ONLY had it serviced by Mercedes Benz (even bought his tires from the dealer), with all service records....for a whopping $8,300 dollars!......Insurance company gave me 8.5K for my totaled 2000 ML320, with 138K miles on it...........

Seems like the ML500 doesn't drink as much gas as I thought it would.....there's an AMAZING difference between a 2000 and a 2003......I pulled out of Dunkin Donuts parking lot onto the highway and decided that I'd "get on it", took it almost to the floor.....the thing scared the crap outta me....I had NO IDEA of how powerful this engine is......Needless to say, I am very pleased......almost feels like Christmas when I was a kid! :-)
