(I'd rather get a Cayenne but.......out of the price range I'm looking at. At least those with any decent mileage on them) Thanks for any comments.

The ML are nice cars but avoid the first 2 years of 7 speed transmission (2005-2006 if I remember correctly).
My previous boss bought 2005MY new when it first came out and he had couple electrical issue and 2 transmission replacement in 2 years.
His older ML (97MY if I remember correctly) went to 150K miles without major issue.
