Dear Colleagues...

I'm planning to buy a car for winter session, but I want something cheap enough, so I'm thinking about ML430 98'-00'...
Is it OK to buy ML such old years? What to look for, what problems I can have?
Because I want just to sit and drive winter session, for like 4-5 months, 800 miles a month...
What can yoiu suggest for buying from the users side, so I can look for bad sides of this car when searching?

Thanks for your answers, I appreciate!

first off, please use the search function in this area...

Second, there is a stickied thread at the top of the W163 forum with everything you need to look for...

G'luck on your purchase

sosh

There were no 430's in 98.

don't get a '98.

My 99 has been great, the only worry would be the transmission 13 pin connector. I did replace it for a whopping $30! Otherwise, I have also seen them rust.

I'm in Chicago if you'd like mine... 87,000 miles & very clean.
