The cottage is at Horseshoe Valley. You know that ski resort just above Barrie?
I got the ML at a Benz dealer in north Toronto, and they took the X5 as trade-in. Funny enough, while all the BMW dealers were offering me $27000 as a trade-in for the X5, Benz gave me mid-30s, a free CD-changer, winter-mats and chrome key rings.
The ML itself was $49000 with just 22000KM on it. Naturally there is a reason why MLs statistically cost less than X5s, but so far I can speak praise of this acquisition. BTW, I tried the ML in "the woods" at Horseshoe, and I can safely tell you without a shade of doubt that THIS is an off-road vehicle which the X5 can't touch.
I'll write-up a feature comparison later in the month with all the pros and cons versus the X5. I need more time to fully analyze what I like about it, and what I don't.
