The 5.0 M113 in the W164 is the only way to go. the 350 is no beuno by comparison. GLWA, appears to be a good seller here!

@LaurentiuD I have complete service history back to 2008 when I purchased the car. These convey with the car.
Thank you. In terms of maintenance history, do you still have the actual service records for the car ? How far back do these service records go ?

@LaurentiuD It does not have air suspension.
Does this ML have air suspension or a regular spring & strut system?
As someone who owns both W163 and W164 models, this being a first-year offering is very nice. The W164 is far more "car-like" than the W163, maybe call it "refined". Not a whole lot to watch out for on the W164, other than sunroof gears/assembly, which will set you back several thousand $$$ to resolve, and the lack of a tow package, because they're near impossible to retrofit and would be very expensive to attempt. Telematics aren't great on the early models, with a COMAND unit that is a limited production model without an auxiliary input. You can retrofit an aftermarket unit, but that's pricey to do as well - better off using a BT dongle. GLWA!

@Rfllantero I can't see why it wouldn't. It's the same as any other 2006 ML500. I hope that helps.
Do you think this will pass smog test in california?

@Tojestsila Thank you for your questions. The tires are 2020. Yes the sunroof functions properly. There is no tow package on this vehicle.

How old are the tires? Does the sunroof functions properly? Is there a tow package on this vehicle hidden under back bumper ? Please advise, thank you.

@Bamboo Thank you for your interest. The car is in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car is in very good condition and has been regularly maintained. A cross country trip should be no issue. The one thing you will need is new tires, and you can choose those according to where you live and driving conditions. Thank you.
Additional photos have been added to the gallery.

Where is the car now? Will it be able to make a cross country journey when the auction ends?
@DaMan Thank you for your comments. I just took photos of the underside of the car and they should be uploaded soon. The car was in Vancouver B.C from 2006 to 2010, before we moved to Arizona. Vancouver has a mild climate similar to Seattle. I am not aware of any rust. You are welcome to have the car inspected prior to the close of the auction.
Hello. Nice looking ML500. I see it spent the first few years in BC. Do you have any pictures of the underside/chassis? Is there any rust? Thank you.
