Hi,
just joined yesterday, reason being i want to upgrade my tired old focus for a nice used 4x4.
my shortlist consisted of....
discovery ..... ruled out as too sluggish.
xc90..... as above.
vw toureg....... still considering.
bmw x5........ still considering. (but wife hates the harsh ride)
nissan xtrail....... sensible option(but boring i guess)
MB ML320 / 420 = reason i'm here.
drove a ML for the first time yesteday (420) was not a particularly nice example, but wow does it go.
it had me hooked and had it not been for the rusty rear wheel arch, i would have been tempted.
still have to try a 320, though.
any pointers you guys could give on this range would be appreciated?
ie , what to look out for and avoid?
servicing in the hampshire area? i have one specialist garage close by, New and used car sales specialising in Mercedes-Benz near Winchester.
this is a lot of money for me so i need to "get it right", as best i can.
thanks for looking.

budget is in the region of £16k.
