Just the usual stuff, like service records, etc. As long as there are no lights
lit in the cluster you’re probably good. You’ve been through a couple of MLs at
this point, they’re essentially the same with the exception of the engine.
ML500s are typically optioned out at a higher level, but

That looks pretty nice for the price, the miles are not "low" but it
looks good and not in some rustbelt area so should be very clean.
Nothing particularly exotic about these, be aware it's a "truck" and

that regard, good
Those are cheap to replace if you need one, just plastic stuff and they
are also quite brittle so easy to ding or break

I’m not sure I would say they’re “fun” to drive, but if you’re looking for a
truck-like ride they fit the bill. They’re heavy and ride harshly, just as you
would expect a 4WD truck on a frame to be.
I like them, but as a truck or SUV. I don’t think I would want to make any long
trips in one,
LOL. Honestly didn't look that closely.

The 500s are the worst, they’ll tear the mounts apart, especially the passenger
side mount. The mounts are very different from the typical Mercedes motor
mount, and when the metal separates from the rubber you’ll get some serious
metal to metal contact, hence the “clunk” when you accelerate or

Do realize that these are far from efficient vehicles, and suck down fuel at
significant volumes. A good tank will get you between 14-16 mpg. Straight out
highway and nothing else a little more, but not much.
I woud look at motor mounts on any of these, as they’re often bad as the owners
don’t
Maybe that is what is clunking in my ML500, did not think to look at
them, thought it was something in the suspension. Good call.

No not really, they are a "truck" and as such ride and handle like one

to tow stuff, and have the AWD that can get you through some significant

Exactly correct. I go up/down my driveway (which is somewhat bumpy with

So here’s what I find interesting about the M272 balance shaft issue:
I’ve see some cars in the affected range that have gone many miles, like well
past 100k, or even 150k, that never had an issue. I’m wondering if there is a
common thread with these, like regular oil changes, for example? If
I've thought about that too. I would think excess iron would show up in an oil
sample if things were going South. Maybe spot a good candidate, pull an oil
sample, and make a decision on that. I know Larry used to sell oil tests, I
hope he chimes in.

Probably ignorance on their part. A modern diesel starts just like a gasoline
car. Unless their thing can’t deal with a delay in starting while the engine

Only issue would be waiting for the sample and not having a baseline, either. A
single sample is just a snapshot in time, without trending it’s not terribly

The alternative is if you get a decent deal and just drive it until it
