Question Certified 2011 ML350 4Matic a good buy?

Hi new here. We are looking at a certified 2011 ML350 4Matic. We hope to keep it for a long time 7 ~ 10 years. But it only has 2 years of warranty left. What is the general reliability of 2011 ML350? Anything we should watch out for? We are in New England - does the bottom rust easily? Thanks in advance!

my '11 has been trouble free, although there have been accounts in the forum of a few real stinkers! Strongly suggest you ask to see the service records - dealer can provide via the VIN.

As far as long term, I had a '99 ML430 that was pretty reliable during the warranty period, but as time and miles (@ about the 8-10yr mark) piled on "things" started to happen, nothing major but still necessary repairs - and fixing "thinks" on a MB ain't cheap. I would say about $4-5k worth of dealer work until I sold it...
