Had a W202 C200 I imported to Nigeria from Germany. I never had any issues with it, it was my first car and I sold it to my trusted friend about 15 years ago, he still owns it and it still runs like a dream.

With 256, 000 miles on my 1998 C230 Sport, non-Kompressor, my only regret is not getting the optional passenger power seat. I never thought I would own it for 23 years. Repairs, tires, belts, hoses, and maintenance cost around $600 a year, give or take. I got 13 years out of the original battery, and 10 years out of the second. It's a California car, still looks great, no rust, I treated the paint with a ceramic coating, and I perform all of the required maintenance on it. I'm told by my independent Mercedes mechanic that it's the last of the "forever" Mercedes, whatever that means.

Had a 2000 V8, that I bought new. I kept it for 18 years. Tires/brakes, not much else for my many years of trouble free driving. Loved it.

I still own an r350 cdi and its great. Almost 600k km and still going strong. No rust, very few problems for the amount of time it was used and generally a great luxurious car.

I currently own two of the cars on you list. S500, and R500. I have had minimal issues over the years. The S500 did require suspension around 100K miles. No transmission problems, no rust and it is now 18 years old 190k miles. The R500 I replaced the air suspension around 70k miles. Other than the two batteries, no other problems. I live in Southern California, maybe that's why I dont deal with the rust.

I still own a 2003 W163 ML500. Owned it since 2008. 232k miles and counting. It does have rust. The car radio and a few oil cooler line leaks but, never anything major. I’ll never sell it.
Use it to pull my boat. Easy to work on yourself easy to find parts and inexpensive to repair....Love the ML500!

[manjulaperera]

I had many of those models and never had any of those problems .

[stephendierks]

We have owned two Mercedes-Benz W163s. The first was a 1999 ML320. The second was a 2002 ML500. The 1999 model did have power lock issues and the heater didn't work on the passenger side. Otherwise, the vehicle was reliable, fuel efficient and comfortable. We drove the 2002 ML500 about 133, 000 trouble-free miles. We owned a 2008 ML320CDI and drove it about 133, 000 reliable and fuel efficient miles. If we hadn't suffered extensive hail damage, we would have continued to enjoy the vehicle. We still own and enjoy our 2008 GL320CDI. It has delivered 187, 000 trouble-free and comfortable miles. It is comfortable for long drives and delivers excellent fuel economy.

W202 C-Class are actually epic in reliability and durability. My 1999 C230K is fast, rust-free and going strong with over 253, 000 miles on the original drivetrain. Sure, little things have been problematic, but after 10 years of ownership, I would not hesitate to drive cross-country tomorrow.

It all depends on the handling. Once you buy, always read the operator manuals and adhere to instructions to safeguard from small problems that become worse with time.

[SeanGreen]

I’ve had my R350 for 3 years and only had one problem with the air suspension. I love it. It’s unique and I don’t really mind having a car that doesn’t look like everything else on the road.

[patreilly]

I've had a 2007 X164 GL450 for 13 years. Purchased Certified Preowned (CPO). It now has 240, 000 miles on it. I've dealt with many of the issues you've discussed, but even when I add up all of the repair costs, it's been a cheap vehicle to keep over the long haul. I still use it to haul 2 boats that weigh over 5000 pounds. My wife and I use if for very long haul trips. It's never left me stuck on the side of the road. If you stay on top of them, they last forever.

For a reason, MB is taxi's almost all over the world. I own my MB nr:5 ( G-wagon, C-class, E-class, E-class, CLA), and today I have the CLA. Just follow the service-program, and take care of your car whatever brand it is. Best cars I ever have owned, with ZERO issues.

[bassboy]

I still have a 2006 ML 350. (140, 000 K miles) Not many problems as you described here. No rust on mine. I keep it in the garage, it looks new.. Yours looks trashed here. Sad. I have owned 4 Mercedes and they have saved my wife's life twice. Very safe cars. Best of luck to you tho. Lots of negatives here. I know no car is perfect but Mercedes have been good to us.

[SaltyTubers]

Still have the 2002 ML320 we purchased with 20k miles on it and it's my son's daily driver. It now has 140k miles and starts/runs/drives every time you turn the key. No leaks, transmission rock solid. The secret? DO THE MAINTENANCE! There are fiddly bits here and there, but if you address them you can keep these cars for years.

[remorr]

S420 is the best... I've had mine 20 years and only replaced one water hose outside of brake pads...268000 miles and still💪💪💪

[evoynigerialimited]

I have that ML320 4MATIC V6 and my friend as at the time bought a BMW X5 V8, whenever we are traveling his car always had an issue with too many problems, he had since sold that X5 as wayback at 2010, mine is still there rocky, look, No car is as durable, rugged and classic as Mercedes Benz in any brand, I guess you're sponsor to do this damage to Mercedes Benz but for us that use Mercedes Benz, is the best in the world

[neilquisenberry]

I had a 2001 S430 that I bought off lease, so it was three years old. It had every problem you mentioned and a lot more. I traded it in for a Toyota Camry! I have a W204 and a W205 now and they’re much better cars. The W204 is of much better quality than the W205 though.

[nilskinsman]

I am sure my old R350 was a mistake, but when I sold it at 10 years old there was not a speck of rust on it.. apart from normal wear and tear, I only had to change the water pump. I miss that car often. It felt like a nice heavy car....or spaceship as my kids used to call it...somehow I feel the interior felt more luxurious than my current GLS450 does. The R class had a bad reputation, but I loved mine!!
