Quick question for you all - I have a chance to pick up a really nice 1999 Mercedes ML 320 for a really low price. Was looking for a DD for the winter months for the wife (She has a 2005 Excursion - we get 10.2 MPG downhill, downwind) to tool around town when she doesn't have the kids.

I've done limited research to get familiar with the common issues - anyone have any firsthand experience to share?

TIA!
