I just baught a 2005 ML500 from a gambling buddy of mine for 700 dollars.It needed a egr valve and a spark plug change. They were the original plugs from the factory.Got everything replaced for 800 dollar s. I've never owned a Mercedes in my life. This car is so awesome, my wife and I are totally in love with it.I can say it's the best car we have ever owned, I'm never getting rid of it. Once again Mercedes has the best cars in the world. Thank you.. Lyn Field

They don't make them like this anymore. Mine is 228664 miles. I got it when it had 60k. The only problems that were major over the years was my steering rack had to be manufacturer replaced (warrantied) 2011 and my transmission module somehow got flooded with transmission fluid and went bad 2013. Other than that this thing is a beast. Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Im so used to it, but my kids say it has blind spots? My son says it has amazing pick up, I love the leather heated seats!!@ my back feels great while even driving on a long trip. It feels heavy/solid car. Runs great! Never had any major problems with it, besides new battery new alternator etc. Very nice smooth drive too and great in the snow all wheel drive. It has original stereo with a cassette and the sound is awsomee!! The back doors get stuck and I can't open one of them? The front seat blows fuse if anyone over 200 pounds drives and adjusts the seat. The heat knobs are hard to turn when your fingers have ARTHRITIS. The cup holders are great, one by driver one by passenger one in middle, 2 in backseat center above an ash tray. If you drop anything between the seats it's gone forever, like the Bumuda triangle. I bought as seen on tv things that go in between seats to catch anything works perfectly.
