Well, we're about to close the deal on a '99 ML320 that a local dealer has for sale. I thoroughly checked the car over, found all the campaigns to be done, however I did notice that the curier bearing is making noise and the transfer case is making a slight shudder when you cut the wheel hard either way. Both will be taken care of under warranty. The truck is Astral Silver over Grey leather. Right at 50,000 miles and has been very well cared for by the previous owner, having changed the oil (synthetic) at 5,000 mile intervals. I made sure of that because I remember putting bottom ends in MLs when I worked at the dealer because of MBs screw up with the FSS system and dino oil! He used Mobil 1, but since I stock Agip lubricants in my workshop, it will be switched to Agip full synthetic, and of course will still be changed at 5K intervals. I wasn't a huge fan of the M-Class but decided that my '94 Cherokee was about due for replacement and why not make it a Mercedes? Of course, a G-Wagen would be nice, but the new ones are out of my reach financially and the old ones rust terribly.

But overall, I'm pleased with my decision.
