Which one?

I am very interested in an ML.Should I go for the 2006's or should I go for the slightly older ML350's.Are there any problems with the 06's or the previous body?

The only thing on the 2006 models has been related to door seals...
Some have complained of oil consumption BUT that is related to not running the engine HARD enough to allow the rings to seal properly.

The 2003-05 ML's are a very good truck!

The older trucks it is!I actually did not even like the 06 design.The older ones look great if you throw on a steel grille guard,light guards, and side-step rails.I think it makes the truck like more "tougher".Now the next question,ML500 or ML350?Do the 350's come with standard navigation (its not a must have)?I also saw a nice ML55 for a little more than the 350.
Now for the decision, I REALLY need your help-
ML500
or
ML350
Please help me

Get the ML500. It only costs a little more to go first class. After pondering your same situation 6 years ago, I went with the ML430. No regrets. My 2 cents.

The only problem is that the ML500's around in my area are not the colors I was looking for.They are all gold,or blue.I was looking for Black or White.I am still going to keep looking
