It appears that I am finally going to be purchasing a MB SUV! I was going to get my wife a 2009 ml63 amg with only 31000 miles, but our local dealer has a 2010 ml550 for 25 k. My problem is that it has 80,000 on the ticker. Is that to much? Am I looking for trouble? The car looks brand new for that many miles, clean car fax. What do you guys think?

Also I will defiantly be purchasing a warranty. Who do you recommend?

By the way I drool for the day I will have a 63. Just don't think it is worth 12 g's more at this time.
Thanks!

 

Just make sure you test drive it. Watch for any pause, hesitation or dead spot when re-accelerating from very low speed (3 or 4 MPH) after slowing down.

 

They gave it to me to drive for a day. Everything feels solid so far. I have not done what you recommend yet, but I will. What am I looking for?

Also who do you recommend for a aftermarket warranty?

Thanks

 

Just watch for any pause, hesitation or dead spot when re-accelerating from very low speed (3 or 4 MPH) after slowing down. It may not exist in all ML550s, but it does in mine and is annoying....takes a lot of getting used to to in order to 'manage'. Hope that helps.
