This looks nice, especially considering the interior. I saw a green one in traffic today and they look pretty in person.

An original FOB key that works for locking and unlocking the vehicle remotely but will not start the ML due to the typical dead chip these keys tend to suffer from. The brand new second key is the Mickey Mouse style of basic key that ML owners have gotten used to due to the discontinuation of the FOB style keys from Mercedes-Benz. From inspection the rockers, floor pans, and subframe mounts are all intact and in fine shape. There is surface rust pictured throughout the underside, with most if not all of the factory paint and undercoating intact. There are no signs of past rust repair, or structural rust present on the vehicle. Along with the body exhibiting a consistent factory orange peel in the paint and panel gaps entirely to factory spec. Thank you again for the questions, it's a pleasure to answer them!June 16th, 2026 at 2:39pm ESTproper912 (0) 0Thanks for the answers, that covers most of my concerns! Couple last things: I noticed the dealer added a second key earlier this year. Does it come with two working keys now, or just the one? Also, since it spent most of its life in NJ, I wanted to ask about rust. The underbody shots look like surface patina to me, but how do the rockers, floor pans, and subframe mounts look in person? any structural rust or past rust repair I should know about? Appreciate it, and thanks again!June 16th, 2026 at 12:33pm ESTmbdoc560 (2) Seller 0Hello @proper912 1. The .6 transmission shifts perfect with zero flare, hesitation, or clunking at all. 2. During the Service A inspection, the transmission fluid was checked and shows it has been changed at some point. Exhibiting a red color as opposed to the original "lifetime" fluid which was gold in color. Fluid does not exhibit any odd coloration or smells consistent with burning or slipping in the transmission. 3. With the ML running, there is absolutely zero warning lights illuminated even intermittently. 4. Transfer case is entirely operable with a quick actuation into low or high range. There is no faults or whining in any such components. 5. All cooling system components are intact and in good shape. The ML gets up to temperature at a normal pace and holds temperature perfectly. 6. The A/C functions flawlessly, holds charge, and emits perfectly cool air. Thank you for your questions, please let me know if there's anything else I can answer!June 16th, 2026 at 4:07am ESTproper912 (0) 0Beautiful ML, emerald green over sand is such a great combo on these, and great to see one this clean and honest. Had a few questions before I get more serious on bidding: 1. How does the transmission shift? Any flaring, clunks, or hesitation, especially on the 2 to3 upshift? 2.Has the trans ever had a service, or is it still on the original “lifetime” fill? 3. Any ESP / BAS / ABS warning lights, even intermittently? 4. How’s the transfer case or AWD system? Any whine, binding, or noise on turns? 5. Does it hold temp steady, any cooling quirks? 6. And how’s the A/C? I had an issue with my previous ml with the compressor. Thanks, and good luck with the sale!June 11th, 2026 at 10:06am EST$1,500 bid placed by @HarJayJune 9th, 2026 at 1:15pm ESTmbdoc560 (2) Seller 0Hello! This is my 1999 ML320, Its really a great example of a first generation ML. I bought this from a local dealer earlier this year and shortly after took possession of two more ML's, both a little more suited to what I like! I registered this example and now its available to all of you! Service A and inspection has been performed. The valve covers are beginning to leak, and should be replaced and re-sealed in the future. The tires have about 85% even tread all around, but they do exhibit an amount dryness throughout portions of the tire. The brakes are about 80% all around and are in excellent physical condition. There is a small ding in the passenger rear door that is pictured, along with the drivers exterior D pillar clear coat has begun to fade. Overall this is an honest very well taken care of example of a first generation Pre facelift W163. The color package of Emerald Green with sand is in my opinion the quintessential combination for this vehicle. Its obvious this vehicle was garaged most if not all its life. The exterior paint is in almost perfect condition exhibiting a smooth, scratch, and swirl free coating throughout. The interior is like new with zero heat or UV related issues, along with the leather being very soft and supple with almost no creases or wrinkles throughout any of the seats. The headliner is in like ne
