This 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML550 4MATIC received its pre-delivery inspection at Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans before being sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Houston Greenway in January 2009. It remained with its original Texas owner until 2026 and is finished in Calcite White (650) over Almond Beige MB-Tex (154) with power provided by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Notable options and features include the AMG Sport Package, Keyless-Go, Blind Spot Assist, Parktronic, COMAND navigation, a rearview camera, Harman Kardon audio, factory rear entertainment, heated front seats, Burr Walnut trim, a power sunroof, and a power liftgate. The Carfax entries don’t show a complete service history and as a result the dealer performed a comprehensive inspection. No current needs were found and the last notable maintenance visit consisted of replacing the AC condenser in 2025. New tires were installed by the dealer along with an oil change performed. The digital odometer shows only 8k miles from new, approximately 40 of which have been added by the selling dealer since its acquisition in August 2026. This ML550 is now offered by Geneva Motorcars in Darien, Wisconsin with two keys, manufacturer’s literature, floor mats, a cargo cover, spare tire, tool kit, first-aid kit, a Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.
The exterior is finished in Calcite White (650), and the selling dealer believes the paintwork to be original. AMG Sport Package equipment includes revised bumper covers and side skirts along with the 19” AMG wheels mounted. Additional exterior equipment includes projector headlamps, fog lamps, Parktronic, aluminum running boards, roof rails, a power glass sunroof, a power liftgate, dual exhaust outlets, and a factory trailer hitch. The Carfax report shows minor damage to the right-front corner in June 2019, though no additional information regarding the event is available. No notable exterior flaws are reported by the seller, and detailed photos of the bodywork, lenses, trim, jambs, and glass are included in the gallery.
Silver-finished 19x8.5” AMG five-spoke wheels are mounted with Yokohama tires measuring 255/50 at all four corners. The tires show 2025 date codes and retain their colored manufacturing markings. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with anti-lock functionality, while the permanent 4MATIC system distributes power to all four wheels. The wheels, braking components, and visible suspension components are shown in the gallery, and no related faults are reported.
The cabin is upholstered in Almond Beige MB-Tex (154) with a contrasting brown upper dashboard, coordinating carpeting, and two-tone door panels. Burr Walnut veneer accents the dashboard, doors, center console, and multifunction steering wheel. Equipment includes heated and power-adjustable front seats with driver-side memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, Keyless-Go, COMAND navigation, a rearview camera, Harman Kardon audio, factory rear-seat entertainment screens, and a power liftgate. The cargo compartment includes a retractable cover, carpeted floor, first-aid kit, compact spare tire, and factory tools. All interior equipment is reported to function properly, and the upholstery, wood trim, switchgear, carpets, and cargo area show exceptionally little wear.
A leather- and Burr Walnut-trimmed multifunction steering wheel fronts factory instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, a fuel-level gauge, and a central multifunction display. The digital odometer shows 8,175 miles, and no warning lights are reported. Steering-wheel controls provide access to the audio system, telephone, and digital information display.
The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 was factory rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through a 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission and permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Carfax service entries include pre-delivery inspections, an inspection in 2023, and replacement of the air-conditioning condenser followed by a refrigerant recharge in August 2025 at 7,092 miles. The seller reports that the engine, transmission, 4MATIC system, air conditioning, and electrical accessories operate as intended, with no warning lights or known fluid leaks. The dealer has performed an oil service in preparation for the sale.
The Carfax report documents two-owner history exclusively in Texas, along with linear mileage updates and five service-history records. The original owner retained the ML550 for approximately 17 years and accumulated fewer than 8k miles during that time. This ML550 is now offered by Geneva Motorcars with two keys, manufacturer’s literature, floor mats, a cargo cover, spare tire, tool kit, first-aid kit, a Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.
The seller has inlcuded the following videos:
The W164 M-Class has reached the age where good examples are becoming noticeably difficult to find, and the reason is simple, these were purchased to be used. They hauled families, trailers, pets, and everything else asked of a luxury SUV, often accumulating six-figure mileage without much drama or finicky maintenance. An ML550 showing just over 8k miles is such an outlier before its specification or condition is even considered. Positioned just below the ML63 AMG, the ML550 offered much of the same appeal in a more understated package. Its naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 produces 382 horsepower, while 4MATIC, a seven-speed automatic, and a factory trailer hitch preserve the usability expected from an M-Class. The AMG Sport Package adds the right visual presence without turning the truck into something overly aggressive, and the Calcite White paint pairs classically with the Almond Beige leather and Burr Walnut cabin. One owner retained it for more than 17 years, and the condition of the leather, carpets, cargo compartment, switchgear, and exterior reflects its remarkably limited use. Finding another ML550 with this mileage, equipment, and level of preservation would be a serious challenge; “time capsule” feels entirely appropriate here.

Less than an hour to go! This is most likely the nicest, lowest mile W164 ML550 in existence. One owner, Texas salt free climate. This also has the rather bullet proof M273 Naturally aspirated 5.5L V8. This is the one to buy! Please let us know if there are any other questions as we progress!$16,000 bid placed by @tcstraker

@gscharnagl There are no active recalls on this one. It appears all recalls were completed on this.@seller do you know if all recalls for this vehicle have been sorted especially the brake booster recall?@gscharnagl . Good morning! The seat bottom was uploaded! All the fluids were clean. The Moisture content in the brake fluid was very low. It appears that the fluids were changed at one point in time. All the hoses and seals are in good shape. The rubber is soft and pliable yet. No airmatic suspension on this one which definitely is a plus! I will get a picture of the underside of the bumper. Thanks!Updated photos of the seats have been uploaded.@seller how do the fluids look on the vehicle? i can see no evidence from the carfax of the brake, transmission, coolant, etc., systems ever having been flushed. did the inspection of the vehicle also include all hoses and seals to see if there is any degradation on those due to age or lack of use? does this vehicle have the airmatic suspension? also, could you show a photo of the underside of the front bumper? thank you!@seller can you upload an updated pic of the drivers seat after it was cleaned up?$7,500 bid placed by @AGtop

Thanks. Didn’t realize it was updated.@cedar230 paint meter readings are in the gallery!Can we see some paint gauge numbers, particularly the accident area?$5,250 bid placed by @Jmoss57
Best wishes on this one @genevamotorcars I wanted it bad! ML550 W164 is a high water mark.@JoeyBenz08 Yes I will get those up tomorrow! I believe it is all original paint on the panels. Thanks!@DaMan Good evening! It has just the lightest amount of surface discoloration on the untreated metal bolts. Nothing really worth even mentioning. As you can see from the undercarriage, the underside is like brand new! The drivers seat simply had a little dirt on it after getting it back from the alignment shop after mounting the tires (we always do an alignment after mounting tires). It wiped off. The seat looks like new. Thanks!@gscharnagl . It is a 1-owner car. A new titled was issued in early September as the original owner couldn't find theirs when they went to sell it. The carfax simply listed it as another owner which is incorrect. This happens frequently unfortunately!Nice looking car! I have a couple of questions. 1) In the engine bay, is that corrosion on the driver side strut mouting nuts? I tried to zoom in, but the resolution is not quite good enough. 2) The picture of the driver's seat seems to show some discoloration on the bottom at the seam of the forward pleat. Is that just lighting, or is there a discoloration? Thanks.@seller sorry if i am being dense, but i'm not following the story with the 2nd owner? that's not you, correct? but they just purchased the car and are flipping it less than a month later?$5,000 bid placed by @FrankVelaa
The Carfax reports a right front impact are you going to post some paint measurements? Thanks JoeHello everyone and welcome to our auction! This is an absolute time capsule! It is like stepping into a Mercedes dealer back in 2009. Impeccably optioned and climate control-kept. This is probably the nicest ML550 left in existence. We fully inspected and serviced this one; including new tires. Please let us know if there are any questions as the auction progresses!@gscharnagl. This was reportedly a vacation home vehicle. We did go through it and it currently needs nothing. A low mile, one owner Texas truck is about the best thing you can buy!@seller any back story from the prior owners as to why the extreme lack of use? Looks to be in great shape but the lack of regular use raises some concerns
