Just a slightly late word of warning - the old ML I had was a pretty crappy to own.
It was W reg with 120,000 miles so wear and tear is expected but it was mainly the fact that the plastic fixtures and fittings were made from recycled '80s stereo plastic and the electrics were random as to if and when they worked.
Mechanically sound engine but the 4.3 V8 takes 16 spark plugs which can be pricey.
Make sure you change the fluids in the transmission if you get an auto and that was what killed mine, and quite a few others apparently.
Love the idea of what you are doing though and hope your ML is better than the one I got. The only saving grace was I paid £1,200 and sold it a year later for £2,000.
