Re: [MBZ] 2001 Mercedes ML55 AMG

2023-12-28 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes 
Yes, I meant to mention to the group that HF had a good deal on a Bauer(?) RO 
polisher this past week. I have one of the old $40 RO polishers from some years 
back, and it’s working just fine.

And as far as the paint, if it looks like it will clean up, great! That, or 
invest in a good detailing and let the detailer have at it. They’ll be able to 
make it look decent, I bet. The only catch is if there is a clearcoat 
(probably) and it’s started coming off. If so, there’s little you can do but 
drive and enjoy.

But - it would be a good negotiating tool, too, especially if you go see it 
with some dead presidents in pocket. They tend to do a great deal of 
communicating when brought into the conversation if you know what I mean. 
Especially since the seller, clearly a poor negotiator, has already tipped 
their hand as to why others have passed on the car.

 The ML55 looks nice. Other than cosmetics, you should be good with the 
 rest. It’s a solid drive train and engine. That, and the ML55 had some 
 nice little amenities, like the trip computer in the upper console, and a 
 spare that’s stored inside the cargo area rather than below the car, for

 Adding a hitch is the same for any W163 across the board. Hitch and a

They are one of MBs silly hot rods (lets stuff a big ass engine in this SUV, 
just because…) but work very well.  Very capable off road too. The ML63 is more 
outrageous but probably not as reliable as the 55. If you get it you’ll have 
some good fun and enjoyment. 

Good luck!

Sounds like a swell idea. 
My next hurdle is going to be how much “fading“ is too much. In one of the two

Once you get it, if you choose to, let me know and maybe we can plan a mini-‘Q

i’m getting kind of excited about this. I just have to make sure it’s not just 
because it’s different, new and shiny. I’m still waiting for more pictures from

Re: [MBZ] 2001 Mercedes ML55 AMG

2023-12-28 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes 
Time for a reset here…

I got confused between the W210 E55 and the ML55. My bad, it sucks to grow old 
sometimes…

The ML55 looks nice. Other than cosmetics, you should be good with the rest. 
It’s a solid drive train and engine. That, and the ML55 had some nice little 
amenities, like the trip computer in the upper console, and a spare that’s 
stored inside the cargo area rather than below the car, for example.

Adding a hitch is the same for any W163 across the board. Hitch and a brake 
light isolator will set you back about $200, along with maybe an hour or two of 
installation time. Easy-peasy.

spare is in the hatch area because of exhaust pipes or something underneath. 
Etrailer will know. 

The 63 M156 engine in the W164 etc has the head bolt issues in earlier years. 
Ask me about it!
