Used 2004 Mercedes-Benz M-Class for Sale

Don't buy this overengineered German junk car, especially if the car has any rust. The suspension on these vehicles if poorly designed, requiring part replacement fairly often. Any onset of rust will fuse some of the suspension parts together (notably the shocks and wheel bearings) and make them difficult, if not impossible, to replace. The car also requires an unusual, expensive tire size. The engine and transmission on these are somewhat bulletproof, but the suspension is horrible. You cannot buy aftermarket hubs for these, and if the wheel bearings are fused then you will need to secure a used hub just to replace the wheel bearing. It also has sensors for every last thing, and will go into limp mode when normal problems arise. If you do buy one of these, make sure that it doesn't have any rust, that the four wheel drive is working, and that both transaxles are in good condition.

I have had this vehicle for over a year now, and I love it. It is great to have a vehicle that is quiet and does make any "odd" noises. So far, there has been no major problems with it other then some small easy fixes and things that were needing to be fixed when I bought it. It runs smoothly in both the summer and winter. The AC and heat work great. I love the dark purple/blue paint of the vehicle. The size of the vehicle is perfect. The seats fold down so that I can haul my box bike and snowboard around. It also has enough room for my to haul lengths of wood moldings for my framing business. The windows are tinted enough, so that the sun doesn't blind me and the sunroof is great to use in the summer. It has all wheel drive which is wonderful, especially in the winter, when I am traveling to the slopes. I love the leather seats too. It really adds luxury.
