Description
1999 Mercedes Benz ML430 - CLEAN RARE 92, 000 km
Offered for sale is our exceptionally well-preserved 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430, finished in dark blue with a matching dark blue leather interior. Purchased new from a Mercedes-Benz dealership in the Bay Area, California, USA, this vehicle has remained with its original owners since new.
In approximately 2006, the ML430 was shipped in an enclosed container to Zakynthos, Greece. Since then, it has been kept in an enclosed one car garage and used only sparingly during the owners’ summer vacations. It has otherwise remained stored indoors and has seen very limited seasonal use, which is reflected in its approximately 57, 000 miles/ 92, 000 km.
Engine, performance, and drivetrain
Powered by a 4. 3-liter V8 engine, rated at 268 horsepower. Power is delivered through a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission designed to adapt to the driver’s operating habits. Its performance includes approximately 0–60 mph in 8. 0 seconds.
Features full-time 4MATIC four-wheel-drive system. It uses the Electronic Traction System, which applies braking force to an individual slipping wheel and redirects power to the wheels with available traction. The vehicle is also equipped with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case and selectable low-range gearing for steep grades, snow, and other low-speed traction conditions.
Although designed with capable four-wheel-drive hardware, this particular ML430 has never been driven off-road.

This ML430 has never been smoked in, has never been involved in an accident, and has never been used off-road or for towing.
There have never been pets in the vehicle. It is in remarkably clean, damage-free condition for its age and presents as a carefully preserved, lightly used, original-owner example.
The vehicle has been maintained over its ownership history and is currently running and driving properly, with no known mechanical issues requiring repair. Given the vehicle's age and extended periods of storage, prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle and perform any desired mechanical evaluation prior to purchase.
With its low mileage, original ownership, unmodified condition,
sheltered history, and unusually limited use, this ML430 would make an excellent candidate for a collector or enthusiast seeking a well-kept early Mercedes-Benz M-Class. I have the owners manuals, title, registration documents from USA to Greece and current registration/ temp tag info. Some service and maintenance records as well.
