2008 ML550 BUYING ADVICE
Looking for some advice regarding this ML550.
Price inludes all fees, taxes and license.
Good deal?
I am currently in a 2007 E350 and have not had a Mercedes SUV prior.
Carfax shows regular mIntenance at the dealership.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Not a single reply, ....... pretty disappointing. The W211 forum for my current E-Class is WAY more responsive.
Checked the car out today, but it was not for me. I am **** and do not like many cosmetical issues, so I passed.
However, I will say that he power of the ML550 is amazing, and after driving it I am hooked.
I shall continue my search for the right one.

I would focus on the following that are specific to this model
Front diff - can be a problem and expensive
Timing chain
brake light lenses and missing LEDs
water leakage in trunk and rear SAM
EIS and if its been replaced
Service history - trans fluid changes, diffs and transfer case.
At 140k you'd want to see a good service history
