Those are cheap to replace if you need one, just plastic stuff and they
are also quite brittle so easy to ding or break

Do realize that these are far from efficient vehicles, and suck down fuel at
significant volumes. A good tank will get you between 14-16 mpg. Straight out
highway and nothing else a little more, but not much.
I woud look at motor mounts on any of these, as they’re often bad as the owners
don’t want to pony up for replacement. It’s not a bad DIY job and the OE parts
are relatively cheap, like $35/each, but it’s labor intensive so people often
forego the work. You’ll know it as during acceleration you’ll often hear them
knock.
The 2003 ML350 in Flagstaff needs mounts. They’re on the shelf, but I haven’t
built up my tool chest there well enough that I can do them. I expect a number
of gift cards for the holiday that will enable me to attain a level of
functionality at that location so I can do the work.

I have been able to expand my foundational knowledge at your expense.
Future SIL overheated his 4runner, and now he has big boy choices to make. This
ML could be an option for him if he asks.

Just the usual stuff, like service records, etc. As long as there are no
lights lit in the cluster you’re probably good. You’ve been through a couple of
MLs at this point, they’re essentially the same with the exception of the
engine. ML500s are typically optioned out at a higher level, but other than
that I would focus on service history.

Looks nice. What ML500 specific questions would I ask?
So far away…..
