Doesn’t look too bad. I would like to see $6k but I’m cheap. Maybe $7-7.5k?

I haven’t decided on a budget, I suppose. Depends on the deal I guess.
For an ‘07, ‘08, $15K upper limit?

The 642 is a complicated engine but a good engine. Problem area is oil
cooler seal leaks. If it’s been done you should be good. Timing chain
stretch can be an issue also usually related to the gasoline rated oil they
spec for it in order to protect the DPF. I prefer to use a real diesel
rated synthetic such as Rotella t6 or similar. This will protect the engine
but a small possibility of plugging up the DPF. If it does they can be
removed and cleaned out, or removed and tuned out. Also, I would look for
a 07 or 08. 09 and later would have DEF and more issues to deal with.

Starting in October, I will take on the new title of grandpa. In
preparation, I think I may sell my Passat TDI and maybe get an ML that
would prove easier for my daughter in the business of schlepping car seats,
strollers, etc.
Just when I think I have rectified the idea of not owning a diesel any
longer, I see a couple of low mileage, MLs that are CDI.
Big picture/long-term, as compared to a similar petrol powered vehicle,
are these to be steered clear of? I probably haven’t paid well enough
attention when we’ve discussed this before.
The one in question is an’08 320 ML CDI 4matic, black on black (of
course), 127k miles for somewhere around $8250. I didn’t see a way to link
this CarGuru(?) posting. they seem to feel it’s a really good deal and they
would love me to click on them and finance the piss out of it.
