Hi all. I'm looking into purchasing a used Mercedes M series. I love the styling but I have heard mixed reviews about their dependability. What do you all think? Has anyone had a great experience with one? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for all the input thus far guys, to reply to the poster below, I say used as in maybe 2001-2003 generation. The prices seem to be so low on them and I'm wondering if thats cause they're a piece of trash..lol

get a G wagon or the new GL. Mclass arent that good.

Ok the Dog and Lemon Guide says for 1998 - 2005 "Expensive, shoddily built and chronically unreliable. One of the worst vehicles of it's type ever built. Reliability - Appalling. Overall Rating - Avoid like the Plague."

The overall quality of M-B cars has dropped appallingly in the ten years between 1995 and 2005 and they have been thoroughly hammered for it. Some models have been described as designed and built by monkeys.

Too many models in too many versions and too many gadgets that work for a while then fail.

Want an proper four wheel drive ? - Buy a Toyota Landcruiser, want a soft roader? - buy a Subaru. Want a luxury sedan? - buy a Lexus.
