Thinking about purchasing a 2003 ML500 with 122k miles. Couldn't find any negative reviews or problem areas other than gas mileage. Information would be helpful from anyone with experience with this truck!
Thanks!

Ml500 '03

I bought mine in October '10. 78,000 miles and a beautiful machine. However since then, * Rear seat was stuck in down position. Need new release cable. * Replaced hoods struts. * Replaced 3rd brake light (center). * Replaced license plate light. *Replaced lower ball joints. *Trip computer stoped working. I pulled fuses 13 & 22 and replaced. Computer is now working w/no light.

It seems every day is a new adventure with this thing. I'm not so sure about it. Good luck.
