My grandma is getting rid of her 99 ml 320. It has 128k miles on it and she only wants $3500 for it. My gramps did recently have the transmission overhauled ($4600), new brakes ($1600) and new tires ($600), which he admitted was a waste but he said it was worthless without it. If I were to buy it I would sell my 08 aveo stick shift with 99k miles and minor electrical problems. I'm only worried because I can fix small problems but if something major happens to the engine I'd be out $3500. Do you guys think I should go for it? The 99 ml 320's seem to have quite a few problems and it basically has a new transmission. Also aveo's don't have much better reliability ratings.

Kelly Blue Book puts its "value" right around that price range. You know the vehicles history and a lot of high dollar stuff has recently been replaced. Sounds like an excellent deal to me but what matters most is how YOU feel about the vehicle.

If you don't sit in it for a few extra minutes after you get home, or stand on the porch looking at it after its been washed and have a warm fuzzy feeling. Then its not the vehicle for you.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Hope you bought it! I got a 2000 ML320 recently and it's the first car I've had that I just want to get in and drive around in for fun. It was only £1000 GBP, and interior wasn't too good but it still drives fine!
