Nothing major really...In my case i dont recall specifics but I knw a good amount of money was spent on repairs etc since the warrany ran out in 2002 (4yrs after purchase)...since hitting 100k it's cost I'd say 4-5k probably with some strange problems here n there, all in all for a first year original ML and being the first midsize luxury SUV that started the whole RX/X5/MDX trend etc....its not so bad

I also plan on keeping it til 200k...hopefully

1999 ML430 has 103K. She's in the shop now for plugs, wires, transmission fluid change/flush or whatever they do to it, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, oil change and a new windshield wiper fluid plastic box thingy (mine had a leak). I do have a few rust spots here and there. So far nothing too big. I hope she lasts until well over 200K (knock on wood).

Something I absolutely love
2004 ML500

56,365 miles and still running strong.

Issues and Fixes:
Transmission replaced at 25,000 miles.
Transmission fluid replaced at 30,000 miles (hose leak).
Headlamps replaced at 40,000 miles (seal break in both).
Rear ended at 48,000 miles by an F-150 doing 15 or 20 (Bumper Replaced).
Rims recovered after dealer did not lock down the weights properly (Left gashes in all four rims all the way around).
Engine mounts replaced at 49,500 miles (one came loose).

I used to drive the hell out of it, but now it is my play car and not my daily driver. I plan to keep this baby even after the wheels fall off for the first time!

It was included with the service. I think they would have charged me the same price anyways.

It is so, I plan to put on all kinds of AMG gear on my ML I like the design and the way AMG portrayed on Mercedes in general. I will even drop an HPS supercharger in it when I can mentally end up paying $7500 for it. For now, I like all the AMG stuff I have on the car. The badges, neck rests, and soon to be aluminum pedals.
