Vehicle description

For sale is my awesome, customized 2000 ML55 AMG. Back when the ML55 came out, it was the fastest production SUV in the world. And it is still very fast today, and still faster than many new trucks and SUVs out there in 2021. It’s a true Sleeper!
My ML55 is one of a kind and has one-off Steel Bumpers custom fitted and professionally installed by Go Rhino front and back. As well as their Steel roof rack. These upgrades costed $3500 total. You won’t find these bumpers for sale anywhere as these were custom retrofitted just for this application for an Industry friend. These are genuine heavy duty steel bumpers and made to last. No more worrying about the original ML plastic bumpers cracking and deteriorating. And these heavy duty steel bumpers also come in handy against anything life may throw at you, front or rear! They are both a J Walkers and a tailgater’s worst nightmare. . haha kidding of course. . :)
The W163 is the only generation that was built tough with body on frame construction, and came with All Wheel Drive with Low Range. These little SUVS are actually very good, very capable off road Vehicles. This ML55 is a true, genuine AMG with the bulletproof 5.4L M113 naturally aspirated V8, backed up by the extremely reliable and tough 722 automatic transmission. These vehicles are not only quick, but also built to last. You can see the Mercedes and AMG quality not only under the hood, but on the inside as well. These cars came with quality black leather interiors with all the creature comforts you could think of back in the early 2000s.
This particular ML55 runs and drives great, lots of power, no fluid leaks whatsoever, and all the electronics work as expected. The power Windows, locks, sunroof, lights, factory HID headlamps, wipers, AC, heater, defroster, heated seats, aftermarket Stereo all work perfectly. This car handles and stops quite well for a SUV, as it comes with strong Brembo brakes from the factory. The large 18” factory AMG wheels have meaty 285/50/18 tires all around.
I’ve owned many Benzs and AMGs over the years and still currently own a few so I make sure to maintain these vehicles the way they should be maintained, and I’ve also done the necessary repairs and replaced a few parts on this ML55 as well.
Recent new parts/maintenance include:
•Transmission Service (new fluid, filter, and gasket) •New Transmission Oil Pan •Conductor Plate replaced in 2020. •Wheel Speed ABS sensor replaced (rear drivers side) •Brake Light Switch •Water Pump •Coolant system flush/new fluid •Thermostat •Drivers side Door Lock Actuator
The only “issues” with this ML is the following:
•Original dark blue Paint is flaking on the Hood and a couple other small spots. •Some small scratches and dings in the drivers side rear door and other various hard to notice areas. •ABS and Check Engine light pop on and off intermittently. I already scanned the codes and replaced the sensors related to these error lights but the lights keep coming back from time to time. Car still drives perfectly though and is not affected by these lights. It’s related to something minor, nothing major to worry about. This car is extremely reliable and drives like a dream.
This ML55 has been Smogged and successfully passed smog on 03/23/01, it’s good for 90 days till June 23rd. So this vehicle is ready to be transferred. Clean California Title in hand! Please see the last photo I posted of the smog certificate and Title.
This ML55 is bone stock except for 3 little things. .
•K&N filter in the factory air box. •RennTech Shifter. •Aftermarket Pioneer CD Player with AUX input. (Great sounding system)
These cars are becoming more rare every day and this ML55 is particularly unique. I get compliments on this SUV all the time, and everyone always wants to know more about the steel bumpers. It’s a true conversation piece.
Vehicle is located in Riverside, California 92505.
