[MBZ] 2002 ML55 - 178k miles - $6,200

"Selling this one as it’s our least fuel efficient vehicle, though it’s the most fun to drive." Ambitious pricing, lots of cosmetic issues, supension, tires, plus the blacked out hood. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/brownsburg-2002-mercedes-ml55-amg-w163/7652257003.html

Re: [MBZ] won't start due to low oil?

Undetermined. That would be one of the next steps, to see if the key switch (or whatever is responsible for powering the relay) is actually sending power to the relay. Unfortunately some other long-delayed household improvements have been placed on the front burner, so my time for car repair

Yea it’s pretty bad how computerized and interconnected cars are. A bad radio can basically mechanically total a car now days. Throw away cars. Sounds real environmentally sound. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 7, 2023, at 6:34 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Mon, 7 Aug 2023 23:08:33

[MBZ] Nice, Maybe a Little Pricey?

Yeah, it's got 200k on the clock, but it certainly looks to be well cared for. If the cams, oilers and timing chain have been done it's probably a solid car. https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/winter-park-1991-mercedes-benz-420-sel/7652215505.html

You really, really need a SDS system to troubleshoot this. At least one of the cheap import scanners. You need to see the error codes and what module they're coming from. -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Allan Streib via Mercedes Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023

New relay installed, problem persists. Would seem at this point the problem could be the switch in the key mechanism, or the starter, Anyone know if in the W211 the key switch directly powers the starter relay or does turning the key tell the computer to start the car and the computer then

Ok 722.6 that’s what I was thinking. I sent a msg have not heard back. Connector might be buggered or the TCM was bad to begin with or fluid leak not the trans. Likely nothing significant esp if some jackleg mech was doing the work. I could probably get it sorted in the driveway. It’s maybe

A nice looking car but the price is insane. Especially as the AC and door locks don't work. Also a bit unusual that it's parked in Neutral -- starter interlock switch wonky? Under-dash panel missing to the left of the center console? And cracked on the right side?
