Leasing is tricky at best and is rarely a win unless you can have some control
over what they establish as the residual. If you want a car payment and a new
car every 2-3 years, it could make sense.
I saw a 2012 G-something at the MB dealer last week that was being prepped for
delivery.
Leasing will put you in a car, but watch the residual they allow - you
can look at past history to get an idea of what the depreciation will be
like and they will usually allow either 12000 or 15K mi/yr - if you can
live with 12K make sure they price a 12K and not a 15K contract. But

The choice between an E and a ML should be based on mission - will you need
to ford streams or deep snow? If not, the E is probably the better choice.

With a salvage title, it should be. My local used car dealer buddy tells me to
multiply the price by 0.50 when assessing the value of a branded title car.

I have had 3 123's that 290K, 375K and 475K on them respectively. I know
that the older diesels can last that long. I am sure the 124's can last
that long. But, I had no idea that the newer ones were as durable. Look
at this car - 300K on a 1997. That surprises me.
I would sure as hell hope so... There are plenty of Subaru's out there with
gas engines with more miles than that on original engines...

I have one of the same body style. They will not last anywhere near as
long as a 123 or 124 or 126. The body rusts easily. Paint dings turn
to rust bubbles within weeks. Much of the metal has been replaced with
plastic - which cracks too easily. Especially the fuel delivery
components, steering
