I was blessed last week to purchase a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML350 for a great price with low miles. A minor issue fixed for under $100.00. I am very happy with my purchase. The Best or Nothing At All.

Since 30 years we are driving at least one mercedes benz in our family.
The main reason for buying them is safety and reliability.
My next car will be another ML or similar samller SUV by Mercedes, takes the guesswork and anxiety out of choosing and getting another car.May 01, 2015

The exterior design falls a little short and lacks flash in comparison to say a BMW X5 or a Porsche Cayanne. The exterior quality feels like a tank, a very safe vehicle to be in with nice materials used.
The interior, however, is very desirable with the right amount of wood/leather trim giving off a luxery look in the classic mercedes style and fashion. The cabin is very comfortable, controls are conveniently placed, materials are not cheap and it truly convinces you that you are in a luxery vehicle.
So far, after a year... It is clear that basic maintenance is pricier than it is for a Honda or a Toyota but still affordable and over all, a very dependable car, no drastic repairs needed so far. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase of a family vehicle and a luxery vehicle that can also be an awesome safari vehicle.

Good overall transportation, however if anything brakes down it is very costly to repair. This SUV allows you good vision all around while driving. MGP is ok for the interstate but below average for the city. Average acceleration, do not expect to gain speed quickly because if you try, you will likely destroy the alternator.Sep 06, 2014

I connect to Pandora through my I-Phone and when a call comes in, I talk hands free. The tires are less than one year old, and I drive less than 15,000 miles each year. The back seat folds down and there is a large cargo area for an SUV this size. Jul 21, 2014

I loved just about everything on this SUV. The nav was a great feature. Six disc changer in the trunk/cargo area was a novelty, but fun. The heated seats were amazing, especially on cold mornings. It was a joy to drive.Jun 07, 2013

I love everything about this car, and reccomend it to anyone. Exactly what one would expect from a Mercedes, comfort, style and great handling. The repair costs are no where near what I was warned they would be! SO happy I purchased this car!Oct 10, 2012

Powerfull V8, I luv accelerating from a light, sounds powerful too. Brakes squeal alot, tight, no rattles, great looker inside and out. Seats are good for long trips, I expected lousy gas mileage, but get 20-24 pmg on the highway, and am happy with that. I am extremely happy with the vehicle, I have put 15000 miles on it in the last 3 months.Jan 03, 2010

I really love the power and acceleration of this vehicle. It handles really well also. Interior is nice, leather is comfy, and sound system is great. Repair bills suck. Has needed many repairs, none under $1,000. Vehicle only has 60,000 miles on it. The gas mileage isn't bad for a V8, about 15- 20mpg. It is fun to drive. I do plan to buy another Mercedes, just not a ML.Aug 14, 2009

This car has a good V8 engine and all assesories you could wish in a car. Electrical seats, GPS,Ovenership is very cheap in Dubai ++++++Fuel are also very cheap, I use 130 Norwegian kroner to fill the tank from empty to full he he thats a laugh compared to NorwayAug 11, 2009

Car is awesome, Performance is great, drives like a truck with the stability of small car. Quality is the greatest and its german engineering at its best. Appearance is very elegant and with lots of personality. The cost is worth it's value.Aug 06, 2009

Because it is an AMG, it comes with all the bells and
whistles; wide body, white-face guages, all leather
interior, black bird's eye maple trims, ABS, and 5
speed automatic. Plus, the 5.5 litre V8 light alloy
engine gives it the power it needs that separates
the ML55s from the lower end MLs. My only
complaint is its stock radio/navigation that will
make you roam around a city block before it gives
you the correct direction.Jul 31, 2009

A little too much oversteer for a AWD - feels like rear wheel drive. I love its 300 plus horsepower as it really gets up and goes - with a roar! The build quality is superior as it has over 100,000 miles and not one squeak. It's as quiet as a tank inside (when the tank's turbine engine is off of couse).May 12, 2009

What users have asked
2003 ML350 rear brake lights fuse keeps blowing
2003 ML350 rear brake lights keep going out. Fuse blows every time I replace it. Replaced brake fluid pressure switch as this particular truck doesn't have a brake switch on the brake pedal. Put a new 15 amp fuse in and it blew right away.
