I'm the original owner of a 99 ML 320. Currently have 265,000 miles. Had lots of nagging issues in the beginning (machine gun locks, window switch failure, fuel filter redesign) but they were covered by warranty. It came from the factory with dino oil but I switched to synthetic as soon as notified (at 34,000 miles). The biggest single expense was a transmission rebuild at 185,000 miles which cost about $2500. Overall, I feel like it's been a reasonably reliable, well engineered vehicle.
I have no regrets on my purchase and I hope to get another 100,000 miles out of her.
