wish you luck... all of the used car reviews I've read recommend people to stay far far away from last generation ML.

I'd sell the car as soon as possible.

poor mercedes...  i wonder why people are still buying them... and buying them used!! Is it just because you wanna show off you are driving a mercedes (or courtesy car from mercedes)?

My 03 Odyssey, 130 000km, has never been back to the dealership except routine maintenances... same for my 04 Altima, 105 000km now... and they drink superstore regular gas almost every week.

Seriously, ML is really such a bad car, if I see a SUV coming by with one of the headlight not working, I know it's a ML... it's really so bad that the lights burnt faster.

my old mercedes had a similar problem. What kind of gas do you fill up? MB recommend you to go to Cheveron or Husky supreme only (ha, sorry I can't spell, the 92 one la)

you must don't understand that a MB got a lot of high tech stuff than your odyssey.  If you drive a car that only has four wheels, a engine and a transmission, nothing elso to break down, just like a ...

well... a car with high tech stuff doesn't mean it should break down or easier to break down. A engineer should built it so that it last.

Seriously, I don't think a ML350 has much high tech stuff. I dont' think it has a superior engine management system if it needs to go back to dealership every few months, I don't think it is high tech if it doesn't work, and i don't think a car that burnt halogen headlight as high tech.

We are here talking about the fundamental stuff that are breaking down, things that are low-tech and part of "four wheels, a engine and a transmission"...

If we are talking about a radar cruise control breaking down, auto-leveling headlights, or an automatic parallel parking system, that's a different story.

For a period of time (starting in the late 90's?), Mercedes' built quality and reliability has dropped quite a bit, and they lost a lot of their prestige as a premium car manufacturer. The previous g ...

Agree, as long as they are no longer with Chrysler, they should be good. And I am not bashing current model, just kind of disagree to those paying premium for a MB used car that doesn't work when they can use the same amount for a brand new, reliable car from regular brand.
