Used 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML500 AWD 4dr SUV (5.0L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Quality vehicle.
I have recently purchased this vehicle in 2022. It is 19 years old and it runs very well, it is very strong, the suspension is good and transmission is good. Of coarse, I had to do some small repairs and maintenance on the vehicle but, the vehicle is very good for 230,000 miles. I am impressed with the quality of the vehicle. I expect this vehicle to last more years. As long as parts are found somewhere then the car can be kept running well.

It's an acquired taste
I've owned my ML500 for 5 months now. Coming from my 01 Seville STS, was a change of course. Overall I think the vehicle hits the mark. Not perfect, but what vehicle is. Gas mileage is decent, but this is my 2nd V8 in 5 yrs so I'm used to the gas guzzling. Off the line snap is good enough to put you back in your seat. First trip was to Gatlinburg, TN and the MB was nothing but solid. Had to dial down the cruise in the mountains, it kept accelerating. Solid, comfortable, great view in traffic and a huge sunroof. Slips in and out of traffic and parking is a breeze, waiting for first real experience w/ bad weather. This thing shrugs off rain and wind like it's nothing.

99 vs 2003
We traded in a 1999 ML 320. We did have some problems with it. Fuel pump, Power Steering hose and Transponder. We really like this one much better.
A Very Strong Capable Vehicle
The ML500 is a rock solid SUV. It is fast as hell and can hold up well against very bad roads. I was very impressed by the traction in the snow and rain. I was driving more cautiously than I should have. The SUV is built extremely well, I feel safe and secure in this care. It is very fun to drive and a head turner.
best suv ever
