are you based in the US or europe. The reason for asking is that I didn't think the ML 270 was available in the US.

He is probably not in the US. That ML will need at least $5000 USD (probably more) of work in my opinon. Front Fenders, front bumper assembly and crash bar, front radiator support looks damaged (new one has to be welded on), will have to be painted and blended into the doors. You may also need new parts such as a radiator, A/C condensor, harmonic balancer and or front of the engine could have been damaged, new headlights, wiring, etc. I personally wouldn't waste my money on it unless you are a highly experienced body shop professional and you are going to do the work yourself. Pre-owned ML's in excellent condition go for pretty cheap these days.

I'm not quite sure what you said (Google translate's output wasn't very clear lol), but we haven't gotten any diesel models since the E300 left, though now the E320 CDI's coming back (not in some states though, including NY ).
