I had a 2002 ML430, I put 30k on it and did not have one problem. The only reason I got rid of it was I need a bigger SUV at that point in time.

I dumped my E430 to get my X5... yes they are very different animals... however, My 430 was my 5th and final benz I will ever own...... never again. Build quality is down.... and customer service does not exist. Ask me about the $1000 blower motor for the climate control, (that is the part cost alone, labor to install is more) or the $600 window switch that failed @ 51K miles, motormounts that failed @ 58K, ball joints at 61K and the list goes on...

The quality of Mercedes-Benz is very poor right know for as much money as you spend for their vehicles.Plus, their warranty is no where near as good as BMW's.

BMW offers the Ultimate Driving Machine. Lexus is ultimate comfort etc. What does MB offer the customer other than a headache down the short road..

It also seems that MB cars depreciate much more than BMWs.
