I'm looking at a 6 month old ML550 with just a tad over 6000 miles on it.
The car has had some customization. It is a white car with the AMG PKG. The tires have been replaced with 22" chrome wheels, the grill work was whited out and the brushed running boards were replaced with probably an after market running board in white to match the car. Overall it looks good but maybe a tad bit of bling with the wheels.
How do the 22" wheel handle and what is the ride difference and tire wear with 22" wheels?
The white out pkg on the grill work looks good. The MSRP on this car before the customization was $59,000. What would be a good purchase price?
I just completed a 2,000+ mi trip from Ohio to Florida and back with my brand new ML550. I traveled 5-8 MPH over the speed limit when I could and I got 18.4 MPG. I used all premium gas. It is not an economy vehicle!

Some cars are better left alone and un-blinged and the ML is one of them...I would stay away from it because the owner may have done other mods to the car, but if you like the vehicle, then its your call
Check used car pricing on Edmunds and Kbb to see a reasonable price, but remember that the owner may be looking to recoup some of the money he spent blinging it out
Like someone mentioned, this is not an economy car and fill-ups will run you $80 these days. My ML 350 gives 16mpg average, and about 22mpg on the highway

Did you drive it? The 22" wheels might add more undesirable ride harshness.
