Hi, I have been a vw/aido person all my life. I have loved mercedes but didn't buy because of no awd till like 2000. Now I have to get a truck or suv to tow my snowmobile. I am looking at this. http://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/801468628.html I don't know anything about it. I read all the reviews and it's all over my head. Lots saying they love it lots saying they hate it. I want to know what you all think about the 1998 ml320. I test drove a truck and I didn't like it after all I am a car person. Thanks. Oh yah I am from Anchorage Alaska. I would use it to tow 1-2 snowmachines on a trailer. It seems like a good buy for the price if it checks out.
