Looks like I’m the proud owner of this thing now…2006 Mercedes Benz ML 350, V6, A/T, 113K original miles, fully loaded, sun roof, clean as can be inside and out. Have all the maintenance/oil changes, records, etc in its’ life…all were done at either Mercedes Benz of Atlanta or Jackson Mercedes Benz in Macon, Ga. Drives and rides like, well you know, a damn Benz. Clean Carfax. Wasn’t gonna pass it up for no more than I’ve got in it…

Let me ask you engine aficionados something...

I have a chance to pick up a real clean, fully loaded 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the 4.0L I6 in it, for a crazy price. From what I understand but haven't had time to read a whole lot, Jeeps' 4.0 in-line 6 was one of the best engines around back in its' day. It has right at 200K miles on it, doesn't leak a single drop of fluid and been babied the last several years. It runs out, drives, shifts fine, 4x4 Selec-Trac (I think it is vice Quad-Trac 4x4 system) works fine. The only problem it's ever had was a power window motor failed on a rear window, and the decision was made to replace all four with factory OEM motors about six years ago (was a known problem with these window motors). The Jeep was involved in a little fender bender several years back and only damaged the front driver side headlight, headlight assembly mount, and slight/little quarter panel damage, and was repaired/re-painted, etc and good to go.

Any input would be appreciated.

Edit - any and all maintenance ever done to this thing...oil changes, trans fluid changes, brakes, etc, etc, etc records are all there as well. Vehicle is a one-owner bought new back in '02.

The stories are true: very reliable engine.. 200k is well passed its original “life expectancy”, however, with regular maintenance that little mill could potentially run until the end of time.. Only trouble I have seen with them on the regular was crankshaft position sensors. But that could be a regional thing with salt exposure here...
