This was posted earlier by @AmuDimpka. I hope it helps. You are right, that car is awesome....the compressor of ML320 (2005) that I am driving is 30k , the shocks is 25k for the 4 , the filter is 1,500, the ignition coil is 3k, the gear is 60k And these things rarely get spoiled. Benz is a good brand. But the ML headlamp the new model is about 45k to 50k last price! The ordinary headlamp is about 15k! The only thing that is expensive in Benz to my own knowledge is the body parts Like the back bumper of my car ...with sensor is about 130k without sensor is about 60k ...the same thing with the front bumpers. The side mirrow casing with led indicator is 10k with the whole mirror setting is 30k ....the full windscreen is 20k I. Talking from experience awetaiye2015: 3 Likes 1 Share |

digitalman2811:I have got that particular model and she's simply phenomenal. There has been no change of any major parts since it was bought 14 years ago and despite her huge in-line six cylinder engine, it's still got a decent fuel economy. But the Mass air flow sensor got faulty of late and it has been a nightmare. Have you ever had any of such issues and has anyone ever attempted cleaning theirs with a Mass air flow sensor cleaner. Please I would appreciate your response and that of the house in general! 2 Likes |

The M112 6 cylinder engine id the strongest cheapest easiest maintained The engine cost about 110k, or less, gear box aka transmission amounts 30-45k and the parts are avaliable anywhere you searched for it...

I bought it tokunbo on June, pimped it up, has all documents and custom papers cleared fully paid and intact..no issues on the car everything works from bonnet to exhaust ... � 08032543888
