Hello - 2002 ML320 RH-Drive Here
Hello Everyone,
I'm moving to Southern Africa in a few months and just purchased a 2002 right hand drive MB ML320 from a car dealer in Japan. Hopefully, It should be arriving right around the same time as me.
I've never had a MB before. I'm looking forward to working on it. I've been scanning the forums over the past day or two to begin getting a sense of the culture. Anyway, thought I'd register and stop in to say hi!
All the best,
Dog Tired

I can do you one better - here's the link for the car from the Japanese car dealer:

As you can see from the pics, there's a little bit of cosmetic damage to include the shift knob. I found a replacement on RockAuto for about $85. Are there other good MB parts sites?
Thanks!

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the purchase? So you bought her sight unseen and had her transported to a foreign country? That's a big risk, but hopefully no issues. She looks to be in fairly good condition eyeballing.

First thing would be to find a good local mechanic that can work on MBs. Ideally one with access to a STAR diagnostic machine... just in case
If you're handy though, forums here have a good amount of DIYs though you can follow if something comes up and we're all fellow MB enthusiasts so we'll help you out whenever and wherever we can
Let us know if you ever want to upgrade her lighting as well once you get her
