I am the second owner of this vehicle.
The original owner had it Mercedes dealer maintained for 3/4 of the mileage that is on it.
It runs great. New tires, water pump and window switch panel.
Transmission fluid has been changed. These vehicles were made with a sealed transmission and although the factory says they do not
have to be serviced, we did it. It is necessary. The fluid was clean when it was changed about 20,000 miles ago.
I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere. The body has some nicks and dings. They have been touched up. No rust through anywhere.
The paint is not perfect but the car looks good.
There is a very slight bit of rear main seepage, but it never needs to be topped off between oil changes. It does not burn oil.
It goes anywhere in our long Maine winters.
It has traction control and ABS brakes.
Has Bose Stereo CD System
The 1998 4WD ML320 had a transfer case that split the front and rear power 50/50. This can cause shuttering on slow tight turns in a parking lot.
This was changed in 1999 with a 60/40 ratio. This is not a problem. It is normal, you can check it on Google. I am just trying to make sure that anyone who
is not local and can check this out is aware of it.
I hate to let it go, but money is tight and I need to part with my Mercedes tank.
I am including the transmission oil dipstick and some touch up paint.
The dipstick does not stay in the trans since Mercedes did not think you needed it. I believe they now order routine trans fluid changes in newer models.
There was a minor accident when I let my adult son drive it. He scraped a guardrail when someone crossed over the center line.
The damage was basically a small cut in the bumper cover and some minor scrapes on the passenger side. This has been touched up.

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
