I actually like the looks of the first gen Cayenne. Don't kill me.

How did you like it? I think for how old they are, the design held up well.

My friend has a 2001 ML430, his parents had it since new and they gave it to him a couple years ago. It has over 170k miles and it's doing pretty well.
It has decent pickup and torque, the interior is 90s Benz interior, it is comfortable but a little bit loud on the highway (I think it's due to having original shocks).
The handling takes getting used to cause dat hydraulic steering.

The 430 is V8, right?

Yep! 270hp IIRC. 4.3L
268 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 288 foot-pounds of torque at 3,000 rpm.

I like it a lot:
I was in a first year model one this summer. Its the most solid thing I have ever been on.

There is a ML500 in my neighborhood of the similar vintage. Rarely driven.
