It’s a Mercedes!

This is a well cared for used Mercedes ML350. While the paint displayed some of the effects of Hawaii sun, Autosource took the time and care to repaint the hood. Everything ine would expect from a Mercedes is still in this vehicle and should serve any new owner well for the length of time they desire to own it.

excellent daily driver

Very comfortable, versatile vehicle. Great in the city for daily driving, super comfortable on long trips with peace of mind if you need 4 wheel drive.

Most reliable car I’ve ever owned

Plenty of leg room, very spacious and good for long rides. Most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Good gas mileage as well. Best car I’ve ever owned.

Not the best car I owned my 1998 Mercedes 320 was

The dealer could have found me one close to my first purchase. Along with same thing as well not just anything because he made bad call and not be honest with me as a customer.

Very comfortable and safe

One of the best 4wheel drive systems available. Reliable and excellent performer. This car goes wherever you want to and looks good doing it. Extremely solid car.

everuthing breaks

Comfortable, cute, quick, luxury, great visibility, just the right size, but everything breaks. Major replacements of nearly all driving components at major cost. Water pump, main spring, tie rods, transmission, bearings, brakes—you name it. Oh, and major body rust. My last ML had the same issues. Mercedes is slipping badly.

A shame for MB brand

The car is designed perfectly to by driven in big city or cross state trips ( did a trip Chicago - to Niagara falls ) easy to control . High quality for the interior and this is all ! After the car get to 100k things start to fall a part : leak from steering pump, water pump, torque converter on the transmission ($3600 job) , alternator, belts, leak from engine seals , tail light bulbs get loose and work when they want . Big problem is the conductor plate on the Transmisions we did this too $2000-$2500 job . Over all stay away from this car 2006- 2011 Ml -350 it’s not reliable at all and its pricy to repair . For now my family decided to stay away from MB until the company starts to make better cars again .

Not a bad used car purchase

Bought this vehicle so we can be comfortable while traveling and for light towing duties. We have been very pleased with the way its been holding up. It has almost 83K on it and have had to replace the intake manifold, brakes, power steering fluid reservoir and ignition coils. Its been very comfortable and reliable for the time we've owned it.

Class Action Lawsuit over the motor of this car

This is a gamble. If you get one of the cars with the motor problem, you are in for literally thousands of dollars of repairs. When it does run, I love it, but the motor problems make this car dangerous to drive. Do not buy this car.

Very expensive maintenance

I spent so much money keeping this truck running. Had to get rid of it. I will stick to Honda’s and Toyota’s from now on
