Overview & Reviews

All M-Class models get an interior facelift available in one of three new colors, optional third-row seating and a Touch Shift automanual transmission. ML320 buyers get body-color bumpers and trim, real walnut inside, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, revised interior fabric, seatback map pockets and footwell lamps. In addition to these items, a standard navigation system, high-grade leather, and heated seats come on all ML430s.

• Lots of interior space, quite comfortable, carlike ride and handling, excellent snow vehicle.

• Poor reputation of build quality, looks like a minivan, not particularly adept off-road.

  Possibly the worst SUV on the planet? - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By jodaor - November 22 - 2:00 am

  At 40K miles, 3 sets of complete brake pads and rotors, 2 navigation systems, complete fuel system replaced, 1 set of exterior mirrors, headlamps with so much condensation they look like fish tanks (but the dealership says its normal??), antitheft is so good that it even locks me out and the transmitters wont unlock the vehicle (the key will, but then the alarm sounds and wont stop until you disconnect the battery---no wonder my neighbors wont speak to me anymore). I can go on for days, but if I can give anyone advice if they are even CONSIDERING buying this vehicle......turn and run and dont look back!

  bad service - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By wenshen - March 6 - 5:58 pm

  This car keeps giving me problem. Every time the dealer charge me several hundreds just to check it. Once the dealer charge me $1000 for just checking the warning lights and not finding anything. The car is powerful and fun to drive in long-distance travels, but the bad service keep me away from buying a new benz car.

  Lemon - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By lododwell - September 22 - 10:00 am

  Since purchasing this car I have been in the shop every to every other month. It is the worst built car I have ever owned. Mercedes should be embarrassed to sell this as a Luxury car. My service file is four inches thick and just about every moving part has at some time failed. I am currently looking to unload the car as soon as possible.

  GAS guzzler - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By oliver - February 10 - 4:16 am

  Ive had the car half a year and what I have to say that its a gas guzzler will never buy another Mercedes again, interior and exterior dont have the greatest design, mostly bought because of the name, but I got tricked on this one.

  Just Plain junk for $45K - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By ssanan30 - December 2 - 9:23 am

  I have had 4 window switches put in, 2 CD players, got a leak from somewhere when it rains (water ends up on the floor boards). Brakes wear out early, tires wear out, traction control sensor, and air bag sensor on the same side go bad 2 times. With 48K miles, the stiching on my front leather seats have come appart. And we dont drive this car much!!! Have talked to others with similar problems. Beware before you buy. Will never by anoth MB product again. Oh yes $500 for mass air flow sensor.

  Expensive Junk! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Erica - January 31 - 2:23 am

  This car costs way too much for all the problems I have had! In less than 2 years - moonroof broke, catalytic converter cracked, spark plugs damaged, new tires, new brakes, shifter bushing, cracking noise when braking/accelerating (bushing of some sort), harmonic balancer replaced, leak in transmission, CD changer broke, and the list goes on! Im trading this car in for a reliable Honda! I would not recommend it to anyone!

  Expensive. Not worth it! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By j - August 26 - 4:40 am

  Purchased this as a Starmarked vehicle with extended warranty. Have had more problems and needed repairs for a vehicle that cost as much as this did. Brakes have a squeal that our current dealer has checked at least 3 times and claim that nothing is wrong. Had the glue on the doors melt onto the windows. Now have multiple broken gadgets. Windshield wiper fluid tubes are rotten. I dont open the sunroof anymore because there is a suspicious cracking noise when it opens. The front seals at the windows are degrading, leaking water with rainshowers. Time to get a new car. Never again a Mercedes.
