Some cars are dream cars from the first moment. They are also so expensive that only a minority has the opportunity to buy them. The rest must follow the dream

Fortunately, fortunately, things happen with cars over the years. Suddenly, prices are at a level that allows many to have the opportunity to realize the old dream.

Then the question becomes: Should you do it or not? This summer, at Broom, we take a small group of old dream cars, which have been a few years behind us – giving you our tips and tricks. Now the trip came to Mercedes ML

That's why this dream car:

With this model, Mercedes was out early. ML, later the M-Class, was perhaps the very first SUV that was more intended for the comfortable driving of asphalt than for the driving of terrain, mooring and rocky ropes . In front of ML, we find a suspension at the front and an advanced rear axle for comfort. It obviously has four-wheel drive and tackles the snow and the backdrop with brilliance.

It was perfect for surfing the SUV wave, which was so small in the exam. The timing could hardly be better. In the years that followed, SUVs and crossovers became hopes … that's what everyone should have.

Moreover, the car was luxurious inside. In any case, if you have not missed the list of options. Leather seats, automatic gearboxes, airbags, woodwork, sports seats, big wheels … yes, it was just a cash book that put an end to what he end.

Success does not matter either. Neither here on the mountain, even though the car was built in the United States for the US market. In addition, the Mercedes ML continuously improved, with new and more powerful engines, different facelifts, more material available and even AMG hairy editions have finally emerged.

ML 55 AMG was the fastest SUV in the world at the time. 0-100 km / h in just 6.9 seconds, he was very respectful of 18 years old. Obviously, there will be a dream factor!

You must pay now:

Believe it or not, but you can become a Mercedes ML owner for $ 15,000! There are actually more cars on the market at this price. Of course, here we are talking about older problems, with high mileage sold as repair items. But for the fingertips that can not have a completely broken car or the latest on the market, an older ML can afford affordable Mercedes.

If you have a decent car approved by the EU, you should look at cars that cost 50,000 crowns and more. Here too, the selection is great. The variations of what ML actually gets for this money are also excellent. Both in terms of engine, equipment, mileage and technical condition. Here's how to get into the different models, the differences and look at more cars before deciding.

The biggest edition, ML 55 AMG, which was once the fast-paced SUV, is worth around $ 150,000.

… but before you buy it:

It goes without saying that cars up to 20 years old should be checked carefully before the # 39; s purchase. Things like brakes, tires, suspensions, suspensions and rust are absolutely mandatory.

Rust is usually on the doors and the tailgate, but also in the arches and the transition between bumpers and monitors. But they can rest everywhere. At the same time, check the engine / gear for oil leaks, axle shaft suspension and power steering for leaks, as well as the control of the engine. # 39; wear.

The first two years 1998/99, it was found only with gasoline engines, 230 and 320. These are pretty simple.

270 diesel CDI arrived late 1999 and here it has There were some problems with the turbo and the nozzles en route. But many of these cars have now come a long way and regardless of the engine, they should be checked carefully. Many cars are also expensive and significantly improved along the way.

Even when they were new, there were some annoying electronic errors on ML. It will rarely improve after 15 years and 250,000 kilometers. Therefore, check that all electrical characteristics are working properly.

This means that those who actually own a Mercedes ML (1997 – 2005) about their car:

Benny thinks:

Although a ML 230 with manual equipment, fabric interior, 15 inch wheels and black plastic catchers is anything but sexy, I understand that this can be a lot of SUV for money.

Comfort is good, the place is pretty decent, goodness is good and looking at a slightly well-equipped copy, this also draws the overall impression. The driving characteristics, however, lack precision in steering and suspension compared, for example, to the BMW X5 / X3.

ML can also draw a real trailer. Another strength that has contributed to success is the set of different engine options that it contains. All of the above mentioned 230 with 150 gasoline not too talked about. 270 diesel is the most common in Norway. Otherwise, the V6 gasoline is 3.2 liters, 218 hp and 3.7 liters at 235 hp, good alternatives that are well suited to the car.

A somewhat unusual engine in Norway is the 4-liter V8 engine of 250 naughty diesel. horses. So the selection is great. The quality of the early years was not very good, the old Mercedes level. The factory in the United States has been slow to organize.
