98 ML320 purchased new in May 1998. Now at 249k miles. Original owner. Early problems with fuel gauge were sorted out. New transmission at 216k miles. Steering rack seal went out two years ago and complete steering rack was replaced. Front ball joints replaced. Rear spring over shocks replaced + usual wear items. Power steering pump, water pump and alternator replaced along the way. Driveshaft center support bearing was replaced. Chafed wire caused issues with ABS light. Fixed the wire and avoided $2800 bill from the dealer. Also cleaned plugged EGR tube and avoided an $800 invoice from dealer.

A/C condenser and receiver/drier will be replaced before summer.

I have had the vehicle listed for sale for a year but interested parties do not call back after they hear the number of miles on the vehicle....so I just keep driving it and changing the oil with Mobil 1 every 5k miles like always. Some people say this is a waste of money but I consider it cheap peace of mind.
