Ml55
Does anyone who if ML55 have same quality and reliability issues as ML320 and 430. I own a 2000 ML 320 and have had my share of quality and reliability issues, though all covered under warranty. I am thinking of trading mine in for a 2000 ML55 (instead of a 2003 ML320) but am a little hesitant on spending that much more money and still ending up with same quality issues.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

ML500
I think overall, the quality and reliability is quite high. Like any production macine, there's going to be a certain amount of isolated issues. I had a 2000 ML320 that was perfect, never one problem. I now have a 2003 ML500, also great, no issues.
It could be argued that the ML55, being a very limited production vehicle from the tuner division, could have a higher incidence of repairs than the general production cars. Or, does it mean that the limited numbers get greater attention to detail, & hence fewer repairs than normal?
Who knows. But, I think the newer ML's, in general, are very good vehilcles.
FWIW, YMMV

The dealer pricing was ridiculous given the real market.
