Maybe reliability isn't the greatest on an ML. But, I walked away with no damage on me when I totaled my ML this past weekend. I can just imagine me laying in a hospital, still, from that accident if I was in a Toyota.

I am picking up a 2000 ML320 early next week. 70,000 miles, black w/black interior. All service records. I would not even consider a Toyota, new or used.

It was interesting speaking with the insurance guy. He said he bought his wife a X5 beamer because of his experiences with all the makes of cars. He stated the only good car is a German car. They get banged up, but people walk away. He specifically mentioned Toyotas and how people don't usually walk away, and are usually stretchered away, alive or dead.

I'll take a belt tensioner at 125,000, an EGR at 130,000, a trans at 146,000, and squeeky rear shocks, and walk away from a total.
