Description:
RARE ML 55
The Bad
1) Needs Front bumper cover to be replaced, have part, just never got the time to install it (used bumper will need some refinishing), I tried to climb a snowbank, and then when I reversed the bumper cover came off, was never in an accident.
2) Ac system is leaking/not working, blows air, when I recharge it it works for about 1-2 weeks, As I use this as a Winter truck I never chased the problem.
3) Right rear exhaust tip needs to be rewelded (cheap to do, just haven't had the time to get it to the shop)
4) Rust bubbling on drivers and passenger side door panels, minimal at this time, see pics for detail.
5) Drivers side heated seat doesn't work, Have the part, just haven't had the time to replace it, will be included.
The Good:
Low miles for a 2001!!
Been rock solid reliable in the past 2-3 years under my ownership
All Maintenance is up to date
Newer Brakes (pads and rotors)
Has Ziebart underbody/quiet coating when I first got the truck for rust protection.
Upgraded Android Head unit, (original will still be with the car) with bluetooth, has apple carplay/android auto, but the connection sometimes is spotty
2 sets of wheels, winter wheels are on the truck right now, OEM wheels are included, will likely need new tires on the OEM set.
Winter wheels are on the truck, used as my winter car for the past couple of years
Has been a BEAST in the winter, unflappable with the winter tires.
Priced the truck as is.
Truck is very rare, and desirable, I know that if I put in the time and effort to get everything sorted, I can ask 9-10K, (low mileage ML 55's are hard to come by)
I think I'm being fair considering the things that need to be sorted
Second: - "Truck is very rare, and desirable". You damn sure didn't treat it that way!
Third: - "Needs Front bumper cover to be replaced, have part, just never got the time to install it..."
- "AC system is not working .... I never chased the problem".
- "Right rear exhaust tip needs to be rewelded (cheap to do, just haven't had the time to get it to the shop)"
- "Drivers side heated seat doesn't work, Have the part, just haven't had the time to replace it, will be included."
- "I know that if I put in the time and effort to get everything sorted, blah blah blah"
Seriously, how "busy" are you? You're either a brain surgeon or flat out lazy.
Fourth: - "All Maintenance is up to date". Cute. You won't spend $80 to reweld the exhaust tip you ripped off, yet write this up to hopefully convince a poor soul that this is a properly maintained AMG.
Fifth: - "I think I'm being fair considering the things that need to be sorted" - You turned a rare, low-ish mileage automobile into a parts-car in only TWO years! Good news for the *lucky* buyer is that some of the parting-out is already done.
I'm an a55hole, which is what this poor ML55 would think of you.
May it Rest in Peace.
