Don't get me wrong, I like the cars. But even with the foreign car mechanics independents, parts are expensive. That's why they depreciate so fast. Cost of ownership can be really expensive. That's a performance car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coil packs and the hydraulic suspension are the issues. The steering pump also runs the suspension hydraulics. 3000psi system with very expensive parts. Coil packs alone are $3k. And they do fail. Still, at $23k purchase price it would still be a nice car and a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Yeah that’s pretty wimpy compared to the 6.3. 14 hours ago, Anler said: Because maintenance and repairs on them is crazy expensive after they are out of warranty. I don’t know about that. You defin Tell don’t bring it to an MB dealer, and need to find “ a guy” you can trust. Then again, I wouldn’t want anything with air suspension or a few other high dollar features. 14 hours ago, ActionfigureJoe said: That’s through the dealer. Stuff like that I do myself. I’m wondering about major stuff. My ML550 has the NA 5.5 liter V8, and has been pretty damn reliable. Sending it down the road here shortly, bought it with 16,000 miles on it for half price of a new one. Just cracked 145,000 on it, original plugs, coils, batteries, struts, etc.. I had to replace a serpentine belt and pulley, along with a power steering pump reservoir that froze and cracked (plastic) one subzero morning at camp, 3 sets of tires and one set of pads. 9 quart pans keep everything lubed up good and maintenance schedules low. the 6.3 of that era isn’t all that much different. You’re going to hear some horror stories, but have a mechanic who knows the car look it over, see if there is a maintenance history (I kept all my receipts ). Good cheap fun, but you’re fussy like me, I wouldn’t want to start throwing all kinds of money at it you’ll never get back on stuff like shocks, struts, etc..
