I paid 38K not 41. The 350 is great, but I would rather put some of that extra money into options I will use everyday instead of having the option of getting a speeding ticket whenever I want That and I appreciate the slightly better gas mileage. But hey they're both great cars.

I special ordered because the local dealer didn't offer the luxury package, or the NAV/ML system. And all of them had 18in wheels with summer tires, which look great, but I really need all season tires.

MSRP for ML is $940, but the NAV/ML option has an MSRP of $3,990
And the MSRP for park assist is $500

Your price is before tax, tags, etc. You had me confused when you say "price paid".

Yes your right, that is before tax, title, and license. Sorry about the confusion.

But still $3,293 off MSRP sounded pretty good to me.
