My uncle brought one of these ML320s back in 2003. He went to look at the car real early in the morning when it was parked under the shadows of the dealership. He wanted a black one, so he went with it. Only to find out that when he went to pick the car up, it was navy blue like this one lol
My ML320 from 2001 has 180,130 miles on it and it's just fine. All it has gotten is minor work on the brakes. I don't know what y'all are a doing wrong with y'all's cars.
The ML320 is my favorite car. My buddy got a 99 for a steal ($700) the only problem was the drivers side window got stuck down so he had to open the door panel to get it back up and now you have to pull this metal cord to get the door open
for those of u shocked at 1:47 its supposed to come off so u can move it to the left or wherever. how can u not know this, even my corolla does that. smh
yes it came off, its meant to pull off there go check any car they all do it its if the sun is to your left you can put the visor to the left to stop the sun! these cars are also very strong and good off road with the right tyres and can have 7 seats cant say that about an old x5 can you .
my grandfather bought this car in 2001 brand new for $70,000 and sold it for $5000 10 years later. I'm trying to find out more about it. did all of them have 3rd row seats?
Its hard to say. I can just share my knowledge maybe it helps. 3.2 V6 in W163 MLs are electronically limited to 6400RPM (tried in in manual mode and funny thing is that the transmission wont upshift :D). In auto mode it shifts: 5700RPM 1st->2nd and at 6000RPM from 2nd onwards. E-class w210 uses the same engine but tachometer has red line at just 6000RPM. FYI you can find e320 with 6400RPM redline but those are inline 6 instead of V6 they swapped it in 1998. I would say mercedes just didnt care at that time :D
Dominik Svitek my mom is pushing 280k miles on hers. When she bought it i thought it was a bad idea. Now several years down the road it's still going. Even though she lives in GA. (Super smooth roads you have to be a complete moron to destroy a car down there) it's still amazing to see it still running
I have a 2000 ML430 that I bought from a dealer. It was a one owner car and very well taken care of over the years before I got it. The only things I don't care for about this SUV and other older ML's I've driven, is it feels like I'm driving a pick up truck that throws you all over the place when making turns and hitting bumps in the road. Every 1998 to 2005 ML I've driven has a very rough and noisy ride and makes it very hard to believe it's a Mercedes. Also the placement of the cup holders is so ridiculous and a very dumb idea. I've had 2 S Class's and now this ML and it seems to me that back in the 90's and early 2000's a lot of foreign auto makers put VERY LITTLE THOUGHT into the placement of the cup holders. For one the cup holder is right in front of the air vent so if the heat is on it makes your cold drink hot. Plus at a quick take off your cup, can, bottle always jumps out of the cup holder falling onto the floor. I'm glad now they finally figured it out, but back in the day for a person to pay 50 grand or more for one of these you could at least give them a smoother ride and better cup holders.
Oh +Saabkyle04 , you make laugh sometimes the radio requires a nav module that comes with the DISC not oopsy there's no disc in the thingy please do more resarch for the cars
I put radio code and ok, radio came on car was started but when I put in gear it would not go and excellerator just stood at an idle. Just BAUGHT the SUV can someone help
Emily M same my parents bought a 1999 mercedes benz ml 430 in 2004 i was born in 2005 they still drive it now 😂 its sorta falling apart so my mom is thinking of buying a new one
how reliable are these? I'm looking for a decent AWD and I'm not afraid of fixing stuff myself but I don't want a vehicle that will just fall apart the moment pigeons start pooping on it.
The ML320 is a FAIL in my opinion. My aunt has a carbon copy of this car, every single inch is exactly the same as hers and hers is fraught with problems. It's been well-treated but has 100k and is leaking every fluid in the book. We had an ML430 from the same year (2000) and it was one of the best purchases we made, it had power, unlike the ML320, and actually made a noise (exhaust) you wanted to hear, not groany, whiny noises...
MY 2002 ML 320 BABY IS EXACTLY THE SAME. IT IS THE BEST. I ADDED A FRONT AND BACK BUMPER GUARD. BEAUTIFUL!! EVERYBODY ALWAYS ADMIRE IT AND GIVE A THUMB UP, IT HAS 98,000 MILES. MY 2003 ML 500 ONLY MOVE OFF FASTER AND TAKE ME LONG JOURNEY. SMOOTH AROUND EVERYBODY. LOVE THEM.
Mercedes did a horrible job with the location of the cup holders. Its almost like they forgot about cup holders while designing there cars and this was the only place to put them.
I used to have this car and it was really bad, and when I mean by bad, the battery kept dying, lots of warning lights, the engine kept stalling on me, nope, sorry, never buying another Mercedes again in my life. :(
This 320 was junk my bro has a ml430 decent model in between the 55 and this. It's nice has a nice pick up and sound with the 4.3, but this is just bad
My ml 2000 still runs, I rode home in that car from the hospital after being born and now I’m 21 and it’s my daily 260k+ miles and I be pushing it
One of the great values in the car world right now. Safe, durable and economical.
Honestly this car is better than a lexus now you can call lexus a joke when you buy this car
i can't breathe
Wow that looks to be in really good shape for being 10 years old.

I really do love these older types of SUVs.
the 1997-2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class was assembled in
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States
Graz, Austria (1999-2002)
My ML320 from 2001 has 180,130 miles on it and it's just fine. All it has gotten is minor work on the brakes. I don't know what y'all are a doing wrong with y'all's cars.
The first song that played in this video was Till The World Ends by Britney Spears
I got this as my first car !(:
Olga Dixon nice
Congratulations. Nice car.
Olga Dixon my mom got this as her 3rd car
Olga Dixon my mom drives this car and its 2017 so does not matter
Broke
i use to hate these cuz they truly are not nice looking, but i drove my aunts and fell in love with it omg
Very nice! Gotta love those older Mercs!
I’m a fan of these W163 ML Classes
@1:47 lol everyone refuses to believe that the sun visor came off lol since its a all mighty and everlasting mercedes benz XD
Very beautiful car.
agree... I have a 2001 and it's pretty good!
I owned this SUV but in silver and black interior with the goat pusher on the front grill and side steps..I loved it. Came with tvs to! Nice car..
I really would enjoy the cup-holder on the left of the steering wheel for I am left-handed...
Still very good SUV even after so many years. In early 00s only mafia guys were driving this car :)
My 99 ML320 is sweet. Love it!
+Orlando I hope you didn't have any problems like what happened to *my* ML320, but enjoy your ride! :-) PS I'd love to see a video of it some day!!!!!
U still have your ML320 ? Just wondering
jonard alejo I wish. Miss it. Sold it a few years ago.
The ML320 is my favorite car. My buddy got a 99 for a steal ($700) the only problem was the drivers side window got stuck down so he had to open the door panel to get it back up and now you have to pull this metal cord to get the door open
for those of u shocked at 1:47 its supposed to come off so u can move it to the left or wherever. how can u not know this, even my corolla does that. smh
I'm sure all cars do that. Maybe people were shocked at how loose it was, but I dunno.
Derp123 probably
yes it came off, its meant to pull off there go check any car they all do it its if the sun is to your left you can put the visor to the left to stop the sun! these cars are also very strong and good off road with the right tyres and can have 7 seats cant say that about an old x5 can you .
Same i got one there great to drive really grow on you dont they.
my grandfather bought this car in 2001 brand new for $70,000 and sold it for $5000 10 years later. I'm trying to find out more about it. did all of them have 3rd row seats?
No, only the ones with the "family pack" option
The rubber seals on the doors are ripped in the exact same place on our ML320! Seems to be a common issue with them.
is it for all or just my moms my moms ml 320 1999 when u turn of the car the raidio can be turned on
That’s even true in modern German cars. Not just Mercedes
wtf why is this tachometer has no red line thingy at the end? 😰
Surano Iokob because all cars are built differently.
Its hard to say. I can just share my knowledge maybe it helps. 3.2 V6 in W163 MLs are electronically limited to 6400RPM (tried in in manual mode and funny thing is that the transmission wont upshift :D).

This truck is very clean
kyle,is it possible for you to find a nice looking honda crx 1.6 del sol "motegi" ?
i drive one of these, great SUV
@stopscrewingaround11 What exactly went wrong with it. We are considering a 2002 ML430, nice shape and lots of service receipts but we're hesitant.
Looking at getting a 2000 ML320. Any thoughts?
extremely reliable
+turshin people say they are unreliable but ive got one with 250k miles and except for rust the car is problem free

Toxicnut1 I have one with just over 92K miles and it rarely has a problem. Just service and tune it up regularly and it's a good suv.
Nice to see great reviews, I might get one after I sell my Explorer for one
2:40-3:08 1 of my favorite songs of all time. LOL. Anyone still listen to Sexy And I Know It?

What is the song called at 4min51sec? thanks
1:10 I like that song
what is the name of the song when Kyle turns on the radio?
The first one is until the WORLD ends by Britney Spears and the second one is im sexy and i know it by lmfao
I love these I want one
I think this car has aged quite well.
Hey Kyle, From now on can you please include the price of the vehicles?
When he says "low range, for suspension high", that's wrong because the low range only puts the gear-box into low range.

Might have been 50k here but what did it sell for as a domestic car new in Germany, half that?
It's made in Alabama but I love the loud noise
@NukeDukemTrololo I don't get it what happens at 1:47?
that low range thing is for the transmission, not the suspension
This car is making me wanting to buy the car
0:55
@Annihilator1111 They still make the new M class in Tuscaloosa.
