You are also complaining about the quality of a interior that is 21 years old, and still in great shape, everything appears to be working, no cracked dash or ripped seats . Headliner isn't sagging, no missing parts . Yet the interior is "poor" quality ?

W163s are amazing beasts. I have around 600, 000 miles on them. Ran one from 0 to 350K miles, then gave it to a homeless buddy and he lived in it and drove it for another couple of years. Super easy to work on. I have abused the crap out of them and enjoyed every minute! Allowing them to overheat very badly (warping heads) is the only thing that kills them. I drove one 10 miles back and forth to work for a week when I didn't have time to fix the water pump; with only bags of ice on top of the manifold, with no cooling system the temperature never got above normal. Beasts!

You tripping. That vehicle is a CHAMP. I have one now same color almost 250, 000 still runs like a criminal on the loose!!!

I've owned a 1998 ML320 for 9 years which has done 275k miles so far. Best of all, I gave $2, 000 for it. I cant praise it enough. If it blows up, I'll buy another one.

368k miles on my last 00 ML 320, now at 163k on an 03 ML 500. They are tanks, their problems are easy to fix, the v6 m112 and v8 m113 engine is indestructible and the 722.6 transmission is practically immortal. You can find these going anywhere from 1-4k from decent to excellent shape.

please keep the ml videos coming. This is my fav mb ever!!! call me crazy but i love it. My grandpa bought a brand new one in 2001 to use it in the farm and now I have it. I love it!!!! super reliable!

Yes mine used to be a bitch for a long time but last year I decided I was gonna work on it and funny thing is my mechanic can’t find anything wrong with the car. I mainly keep the car for the memories, used to be my dad’s car. listening to his CDs and driving it just calms me, hard to explain

[kevinbarry]

That being said; a 20 year old version of this car is still more reliable than a three-year old BMW

I love this series. My second vehicle was a 99 ML320 with over 200k on it. Compared to my 96 Accord it was the most luxurious thing I’d ever seen and was an absolute beast in the snow and light off roading. I still lust after the ML55.

I have owned my 2001 ML 430 since 2005. 182k miles and going strong. Off roads like a champ, pulls trailers, and still cleans up nice. No plans on ever getting rid of it (within reason).

One thing you didn't point out is safety. That thing had side airbags in 1998! That is a huge plus.

I have had my ML320 for 21 years! She is lovely still (even with her bits of rust from living on Martha's Vineyard - salt water kills your car!). We are just shy of 290, 000 miles. I will ALWAYS love her the best, especially her lovely teal green color and tan interior!

Clear the program on the transmission (same as every MB trans reset, takes 2 minutes) then drive 'spiritedly' for 10 minutes. It will relearn you driving habits for the first 20 gear changes, there are a few handy resets to learn in a mercedes

They worked pretty well in the 2nd Jurassic park movie.

Owned a 99 ml 320 since october 1998. Its been a fantastic vehicle with hardly any problems outside of normal maintenance. It was also 1998 MotorTrend truck of the year 😉

[mikehall]

I have an ml350, which is the facelift model which ironed out a lot (but not all) of the build quality issues. It’s got a lot of quirks but I love it. Have fun with it, it’s a lot of car for the money.

[ericbrown]

I've got a 99 ML320 I have had so much fun with this thing off road and I love the looks people give as you take a Mercedes off-road and it's been able to go everywhere so far without any problems

[abdullah]

I was born in 1999 and my parents bought a decked out 99 ML 320, I'm now 21 years old in college and we still love our ML.

[vincentbrown]

I got one a few months ago with 225k miles. It was a well cared for 1 owner. Runs great!

I love my 2000 Ml320. I have owned it since 2004. The only major item that I struggled fixing was when it would self brake. I did a lot of research on the subject, replaced the yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and the brake sensor. The problem finally stopped though I am still uncertain which one of the sensors was the culprit. Last week I had a check engine light come on indicating a malfunctioning of the EGR valve. I removed the valve, thoroughly cleaned the valve and the aluminum tubing, checked the solenoid and everything is fine now. With 202, 000 miles on the vehicle, I figure it has at least another 100, 000 moles of good life left.
