1997 C280, 151,000 miles, handles very well. Condition is above average, well maintained and driven. No modifications, all factory equipment, less CD Changer. I have another 280, a 1973 and had a 1985 500 SEL.
Look forward to many years of safe and reliable driving with my w202!

'99 C230K 287,500-Miles Looks like I come in 2nd to Rob95.

No major issues. Besides regular maintenance, only engine repairs have been wate-pump (137K) and Voltage regulator (212K)

I've had the car since 49K. No tranny maintenance. The excellent engineers at MB were right! It is a lifetime fill. Browsing the forums ad reading about the issues I'm convinced the fluid/filter replacement causes as many problems as it prevents. When my transmission dies, I'll replace it and run another 300K miles. Someone smart(and greedy) at MB realized they could hit owners with another $600 bill every 50K Miles.

1994 c280 with over 450,000 miles now. My Father bought this new and gave it to me when he bought a new E350. Most major work was head gasket replaced and one control arm replaced. Car runs like new still but has the usual annoying A/C problems and some annoying minor oil leaks. I let the car sit in garage for 2 months and now the battery is dead. I always loved this car when my dad had it and can't wait to blaze the roads again.
