Ml
I'm looking at a 2001 ML with about 58,00 miles on it. I've got no histroy and won't be able to get any (it's a bank repo).
What should I look for? I heard they had oil problems, and what are the specifics of that situation? Was there a settlement or extended warranty? Thanks

Re: Ml
Yes, it seems to be an oil sludging issue, which is getting to be fairly common (Toyota has a similar issue). If the owner neglects oil changes, it can happen. Also, MB is very specific about using approved synthetic oil only. I suspect airtight service records will be required to get the repair done (but that's just my guess).
Look at this for details about the suit. http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?scid=103&did=971 BTW, I have a '98 with 90,000 miles and no problems in sight. Good luck, Don
