Nice. Pick it up while it's hot.

Don't confuse ultra loaded for Ultra Luxury...

Description is weird. That is a ML if I am correct. Those came with laser cruise control?

$15,000 for a 2005 ML with 150,000 miles. Not that great. Looking at the neighborhood in the background I bet it was well taken care of.

looks like a CL with headlight washers but no rear seat controls. saddle is a "rare" interior. i'd say it's a bit overpriced. well that comes from someone that got an 05 UL with 123k for 10.5k.

Definitely not an ultra luxury, I believe it's a CL though due to the saddle interior which means it has the upgraded leather package which includes a better grain and in more locations(dash/door panels).

Looks very clean and well kept. Judging from the house and corvette in the garage it was probably treated nicely. If service records were up to date and accounted for it looks like a great car. If it was closer to home I'd be tempted in the 13k range. Someone should check it out

I like it but I would as that is my car's twin except mine has 57K miles instead of 145K. Great deal if can be bought for $13K.

Nice looking but a little rich for my blood. Mileage is high for that price...

It is indeed a Custom Luxury model.
Also, DLCC was not available on Modern Luxury cars, only CL and UL.
