Hi, which one will be the best to buy? Good price for work truck.

2007 ML63 AMG
134 000 miles
-four full air suspension replaced
-the front differential replaced
-the front left cardan replaced

OR

2008 ML63 AMG
106 000 miles
-brakes (disk and pad) replaced
-radiator replaced
-power streering pump replaced


I am confused because for $2000 difference, the 2007 has more miles with (air suspension differential, cardan replaced), and the 2008 has less miles on the cars with (brakes, radiator, powerpump replaced)...

Should I put $2000 for less miles on the car? And win one more year (2008).... but never replaced the four full suspension... for now no issue, but soon maybe?
And the 2007 the full suspension was replaced and will no more have issue for long time...

Thank you for help !

LastLong

Heum, I am not sure, I will ask him, is it expensive to replace the camshafts? It's a commun issue on the ML63 ?

Viktori

I just got a 08' a week ago. The former owner went ahead and did the head bolt upgrade a couple of years ago. I figured the service center looked over the other things when they had it. If they had the heads off for any reason, most likely there are the new style bolts.

Bolts problem starts from 07.12 manufacture date, if your 2007 car is older then in most you have no problem with this

So I believe that commun issue on ML63 are the camshafts and the airmatic suspension....

What else should I check? Basictly, the engine is reliable I guess...

My last BMW X5 with the V8, has valve seal isssu and it was horrible.... its a commun issue on BMW X5/X6 with the V8.... Hope it not the same thing on a ML63...

Take car for testdrive, it's automatic transmission have problems 4matic 722.9, like plate samsung in basic and replaced with continental if I remember clear and torque converter, but it's car related, all other stuff you will get with diagnostic star tool

2008 ML63 AMG

both are crap, these cars not good at 50k miles, I even can't imagine what will be with 100k, but it's related to owner, just check list above and if something was replaced it should be original mercedes parts like differential, suspension (bilstein as analog is good) etc

All these replacement of part are OEM
