This 2000 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG was sold new in California where it remained registered through 2024 under single-family ownership. It was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 from the most recent owner and currently shows 90k original miles. Finished in Bordeaux Red Metallic (567) over Black Exclusive leather (561A), power is provided by a 5.4-liter V8 driving all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes xenon headlamps, 18″ AMG wheels, a factory AMG bodykit, power-adjustable heated front seats, cruise control, navigation, and a lockable safe located beneath the front passenger seat. In preparation for the sale, the selling dealer performed a safety inspection, replaced the fuel filter, performed an oil service and replaced the oil filter housing gasket. More than 40 service history records are noted on the included Carfax report since new and complete service records will be included in the sale. This ML55 AMG is now offered by the selling dealer with a spare tire and cover, factory literature and tapes, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Nevada title.
The ML is finished in Bordeaux Red Metallic (567) and is equipped with an AMG body kit consisting of revised bumpers, side skirts, and wheel arch flares. Additional exterior features include fog lights, xenon headlamps with washers, a power sunroof, roof rails, and a factory exhaust with dual AMG-stamped outlets. The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage since new. The seller reports no rust present on this example.
Factory five-spoke 18″ AMG wheels wear new Continental CrossContact tires measuring 285/50 on all four corners and show 2018 date codes. Braking is provided by factory Mercedes-Benz branded calipers clamping discs at all four corners.
The cabin features seats upholstered in Black Exclusive leather (561A) along with matching door panels and carpets. Wood veneer accents the center console, doors, and steering wheel. Equipment includes power-adjustable heated front seats, driver’s seat memory, cruise control, air conditioning, navigation, and a lockable safe located beneath the front passenger seat. All front and rear headrests are included and the rear cargo area is equipped with the factory spare tire, cover, first aid kit, and jack. All electronics reportedly function as designed including A/C and heat. The original ML55-embroidered floor mats are present and in above-average condition.
The wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel frames white instrumentation consisting of an AMG-branded 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Digital readouts for outside temperature and time are located on each side with all pixels in working order. The digital odometer shows under 91k miles.
The 5.4-liter M113 V8 produced 342 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. In preparation for the sale, the selling dealer performed a safety inspection, replaced the fuel filter, performed an oil service and replaced the oil filter housing gasket. More than 40 service history records are noted on the included Carfax report since new and complete service records will be included in the sale.
The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage reports since new and shows California ownership through 2024. This ML55 AMG is now offered by the selling dealer with a spare tire and cover, factory literature and tapes, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Nevada title.

Just over an hour to go! Please let me know if there are any other questions as we progress!
@MBrlxmac99. The lights are HID. They are OEM and not halogen. It’s just appearing that way in the photos. Thanks!

These are supposed to have xenon headlamps standard, and MB Decoder confirms as such for this car. However the cast of the lamps in these photos looks very yellow almost as if they were replaced with halogen units. Is there any way to confirm?
@noeljohnhoward. Paint really is in great condition. I think you are seeing reflections! Shipping would be around $900 to your location. We do not take bit coin, but can do wire, check, cashiers check etc. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
How’s the paint condition on the hood? picture 19 looks a little suspect but it could just be some reflection. Could you provide shipping quote to Brooklyn 11221? Also curious about payment method, is credit card an option? Do you accept Bitcoin? thanks!
Thanks for that additional info, good luck with the auction.
@skarthur. The seat control was fixed to the tune of about $1,200 from the previous owner. The rack and pinion is perfectly fine. There was a bad seal from the power steering box which was replaced as well. I have receipts for both as well. There are no more current issues with either of those. Thanks!
This car sold some months back on another auction site. The owner was kind enough to mention that he decided to part with it shortly after buying because of a non-functional driver seat control (which the previous seller had "remedied" - the remedy was apparently very temporary). He also mentioned ongoing problems with the rack and pinion power steering, stating that his mechanic advised him that it would likely need to be replaced entirely at some point in the near future. He did mention the engine was great and the ride quality good. My question is then, have these issues been dealt with in a more permanent way? It seems the last seller just wanted to put a band-aid on these issues so she could make her sale with some level of plausible deniability regarding having those problems addressed.

@noeljohnhoward. 2 keys/ fey fobs with this one!
@zoccierampqt. 1. No current oil leaks. This one was impeccably maintained as you can see by the records 2. AC works as it should 3. Door lock actuators all work 4. No warning lights of any kind on! 5. No current leaks from the power steering. As the records show, it had a lot of power steering work done in the last few years. 6. All the windows operate as they should 7. No electrical issues. Sunroof works, stereo etc. 8. The suspension is tight and there is no shuddering in the transfer case 9. Brakes are in good condition with around 40-50% pad remaining. Battery is newer. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I am interested in the ML55 and would appreciate your assistance in answering the following questions regarding its condition: 1) Engine Oil Leaks: Are there any leaks from the rear main seal, valve cover, front seal, or other gaskets? 2) Air Conditioning: Does the AC system work properly? 3) Door Actuators: Are all door actuators functioning correctly? 4) Dashboard Lights: Are there any warning lights on the dashboard, such as the check engine light or ABS light? Are there any stored codes? 5) Other Leaks: Are there any leaks from the power steering or transmission cooler lines? 6) Windows and Center Console: Do all the windows operate correctly? How are the center console buttons? 7) Electrical Issues: Are there any electrical issues with the sunroof, stereo, amplifier, speakers, or CD changer? 8) Suspension and Transfer Case: Is there any shuddering with the suspension or transfer case when turning the steering wheel to full lock left and right, such as when doing a circle? 9) Battery and Brakes: What is the current condition of the battery? How are the brakes, including pads and rotors?
