A lot of changes in my life have developed over the last six months. Most recently, I find I've suddenly inherited a family of two children, 7 and 9.



Looking at the Mercedes ML class vehicle as kid carriers. Kinda want to stick with a German theme in the household, I suppose. Anybody drive one of these as far as reliability, maintenance costs, problem spots, etc? Looking at the older '00-'01-ish vehicles that can be had for sub-$15k range. Seems to older vehicles can be got for around $10k or lower.
