Up for sale is the most dependable and tough SUV I have ever owned, It has a 260 cubic inch 4.3 Liter SOHC 24-Valve engine (w/ sfi) paired with an automatic transmission with the sport shift / slap shift option that helps the truck top out at 268hp and 288 lbs of torque, and easily takes the 0-60 in under 8 seconds! This truck has all wheel drive ( 4x4 ) hooked into a smart drive 4 wheel ABS disc brake set up, as well as push button low gears, which are amazing in large snow storms ( I have NEVER gotten stuck in a buffalo winter even with 12+ inches in my driveway) This truck is truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Surprisingly the mileage is really good for an 8 cyl. and I average about 22 mpg (That is grandpa driving it, because I’m cheap and like to take care of my nice vehicles) The truck has never left me stranded once and has been dealer maintained at Mercedes Benz of Buffalo since new (Yes I have documentation to prove it) I purchased this vehicle off of a family member who used it for their daily commute to Rochester averaging about 14k miles a year, the truck currently has only 172,000 miles (which is nothing compared to the 235,000+ miles i have seen on other ml’s The truck is solid and was just inspected at the end of February at the dealer, Both front lower ball joints were replaced, as well as new front pads and rotors and an original Mercedes Benz battery. The interior is fully loaded with auto windows/locks, power moon roof, power heated black leather seats, factory OEM all weather mats, premium Bose audio system with integrated Bose subwoofer under the drivers seat (This thing bumps!) I have included a ton of pictures to show the truck, it does have some small dents/ light scratches / and light surface rust spots since it is 12 years old, also someone was nice enough to lightly hit the drivers side rear quarter where the door meets the wheel well arch last winter and drive off (Doesn’t effect anything just looks like a light brush by) Also the rear wiper doesn’t work, replacements can be had for cheap on ebay, I just never bothered fixing it because the rain-x I put on all the windows every 6 months just washes everything right down the window. ( I have taken these issues into consideration when determining a price so don’t try to lo-ball me because of this, If you want a perfect 2000 ml go to the dealer and buy one for $10,000+ ) Since the pictures have been taken I have lightly smoked out the taillights and side markers. I also have a spare set of 4 OEM 5 spoke 17" rims with tires,which I may include depending on vehicle sale price. Selling because I found a 2005 ML that I would like to upgrade to so I’m selling this at a huge loss. Cash talks $4,900 or reasonable offer. This truck was OVER $50,000 new Please text (or call if needed)Christian at 716-829-9O4O to set up an appointment to look at the truck and test drive it, since I’m still using it as my daily driver.
