-If the car didn't come from the factory with the 3rd row seats, can I still pick some up and put them in? ie, Is it a dealer installed accessory?
-Same question regarding the nav system
-If it does have the 3rd row seats, are they removable?
TIA

I thought this strange and perhaps not safe.
My ML would not start, dead battery, from lack of driving. ML roadside gave it a jump, it started, but would fail to move. Tech said too many errors, had to clear them with a portable electronic device.
If I was somewhare isolated instead of my driveway, and I got a jump start, I would not be able to drive the SUV? So if stuck in a remote, good isolated area, would be a real problem, if help was not nearby?

Getting another ML (long story, but had a 2000 which I sold when we moved). Finding great deals on 2000 and 2001 used, low-mile MLs. What I don't know is where there many mods between 2000 and 2001 that would justify the roughly 15-20% delta in used prices?
Note that I understand model year and deprec diffs, etc - I can make that calc but what changed between 2000 and 2001 in features/function/etc.
Thanks

Debating whether I should buy a 2002 model.

Welcome to the times, nothing is my fault, I do no wrong.
Would like to buy this vehicle but was very unimpressed with the mush ride and soft brakes of the 02 ML320 when compared to the 02 x5 6 cyl.
Thanks
Thanks

x5
mdx
ml320
rx300
and my wife likes the x5, but the rear cargo space takes it out of the picture...
http://www.imakenews.com/autospies/e_article000090901.cfm has info on a special edition model. Is this the new base 320 in 2004?
Thanks,

So far I really like mine. I was just out of town and had the car sit idle for 2 weeks. Unlike some other cars I've had, you'd never know it hadn't been used the day before. No funny noises or anything. I bought it with 40,000 km (25000 miles) and got a good deal. Since I bought it in Canada for CAD$, the price wouldnt be relevant.
I'll admit, though, I'm in my early 30's and I get some funny looks driving it.

instantiously learches to side ( as if hard braking ) A clunking also is heard. I stop to check for any signs, but found none. This lasted from 1 - 3 seconds.Light goes out after restart.
I am scared to drive it.
Anyone got advice or similar symptoms? How about
a goood transporter to the dealer?
I am currently driving a 99 Mitsubishi Montero Sport w/115K miles (which started out as my company vehicle that I purchased from a former employer). Nedless to say, the Benz will be a tremendous upgrade for me.
There seem to be many vehicles to choose from on the seconday market. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I am interested in hearing current owner's experiences with 99 & 00 model years. My research revealed that these years are recommended. Are there any problem areas to be aware of? My inclination is toward the newer model, though there seem to be an abundance of 99's available (likely just off 36 mo lease). Any help would be appreciated.
Best,

Good news for those interested in getting a 2003 ML.
1. open the driver side dooor
2. press the left switch
3. turn the key to I or II for oil level.
Also, to set the clock...
Pull the right knob and turn left for the hour and right for the minute.
Nope, both didn't work. Is this a common problem on MLs? Mine is still under warrenty, but kindda afraid to let the shop to do such a delicate fix. I may end up with lots of rattles after putting in a new instrument panal.
That could explain the lessened demand for the ML320, and also make it an a good time to get one with some money knocked off the price.
