These really are everywhere around my town. Pretty much everyone of them is silver, too.

This gen too?

Dirt cheap now tho; sucks to buy new... (we bought new)

I imagine it was expensive

10/25/2015 at 17:29

Yassss

Like ~$50-60k in modern money (cuz options)

Moral of the story: don’t buy new cars

Lease them or go used

The ML is a neat SUV. Seems like an okay first car.

Well on the other hand, you still have it, so the purchase is paying off as intended, yes? Not necessarily financially specifically but the concept of the purchase itself: “I want this I want it nice and new and I’ll keep it forever”

2nd gen? Built in Alabama, as you probably know.

“inherited”

True. It was used for ~8 years, when we got a new 328 (our previous 3 was used for work shuttling duties)

Just sitting there now. Will probably be my first car

First generation, facelift.

Yep, parents didn't know until I told them.

Alex B > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 17:54

Same difference.

Do you like it?

Steve in Manhattan > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 17:56

I remember looking at a 1st gen and thinking: well, everybody else is doing it. Still, I’d go ML before I went BMW in the unlikely event I needed something in that class.

pjhusa > Alex B
10/25/2015 at 17:58

Is good

Look at my username darnit lol

Well, it’s now the GLE.

Our Dear Savior Dougls DeMuro also endorsed the ML

Are you driving yet?

Last time I asked it you weren't yet.

pjhusa > Alex B
10/25/2015 at 18:11

Nope

I’m probably younger than you

Maybe even the youngest Opponaut

Vicente Esteve > pjhusa

Kinja'd!!!

ML55 for everyones time.

Because only a few know how unbelievably cool these are.

I told my parents the other day:

“WHY DID YOU NOT GET AN AMG?!”

Vicente Esteve > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 18:35

What did they respond? That is the important bit.

pjhusa > Vicente Esteve
10/25/2015 at 18:36

It was $25,000 more (before options)

Vicente Esteve > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 18:51

0.0

That’s a hell of a difference.

pjhusa > Vicente Esteve
10/25/2015 at 18:57

Cars tho

By the way, that’s ~$25k is 2002 USDs

Vicente Esteve > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 19:10

Exactly.

I bet they are at the bottom of their depreciation right about now.

pjhusa > Vicente Esteve
10/25/2015 at 19:22

True. Found one on AutoTrader for ~$9k

Alex B > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 19:26

Oh well I’m 15.

It’s so awkward being so young on Oppo and explaining your families cars.

pjhusa > Alex B
10/25/2015 at 19:27

Lol

It’s awkward to explain Oppo

But my mom likes cars, my dad is indifferent to them

S’okay, there are a few other Opponauts (Alex, Van Man) who are in the same boat.

At least I “own” a car atm. So I can just stare at it and pretend to drive...

Alex B > pjhusa
10/25/2015 at 21:36

Right

My Dad has an interest in cars, but he doesn’t act it out and go buy more interesting cars. My mom just like luxury SUV’s and odd cars.

10/25/2015 at 21:41

mm hmm

my mom likes BMWs

I think it’s funny how I haven’t seen any ML for a while (they’ve been replaced by X5’s) but I live about 60 miles from where every single ML has been built since 1998.

10/25/2015 at 22:02

ha! ha! ha!

Nice E91 btw, we had a E90 LCI sedan in Jet Black with the same wheels and everything.

Oh it’s not mine, I got that image off of Google Images. I am not of driving age yet (I turn 15 in January). The picture is part of a joke I have with my friends (I love 3 series wagons, and I live in a town called Mountain Brook, so I like touring the brook ). Though my aunt’s husband has an LCI 328i with a 6-speed.
