203,000 km on my 1979 230G
still running strong !
will probably keep the C-SportCoupé beyond 10-15 years with low mileage.
The C-SportSedan will probably keep til it dies, and replace with a higher end model or AMG sedan.

W203 C240
So far my Jan 02 C240 has around 59K...only probs so far has been a sunroof frame issue, felt weatherstrip around the drivers side I plan to keep it for at least the duration of the loan plus a couple yrs.
Might get passed on to the parents, but will remain in the family as im thinking of the Saturn skyroadster.

Midnight Blue 2004.5 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan. 2002 w210 E320, 2009 w211 E350 Sport
I'm at ~18,750 miles.
My car is a 2004.5 (w/ refresh, but no amg body kit)
I'm keeping this baby as long as it takes me to get it as unique as I intend. If that's 7-10 years, so be it. In the meantime, I definitely intend to get a daily driver and turn this into something special...whether that happens all depends on what's in the cards for me (as far as the future is concerned).

Mileage check in thread...
I just bought a c240, but I wanted to see what your mileages are and what problems you've had. Can you please list current mileage and problems you've encountered and fixed during that time period.
TIA!
Edit: Please include year and model as well...

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
I have a 2003 C240 w/ 29,000 miles. The electronic rear sunshade had a few problems working and the door handle popped off, awkwardly enough, but other than that, no problems at all.

Squeaky rear suspension sound when entering/leaving car.

Approx. 77k miles
Recently replaced the Crank Position Sensor
Need to replace the MAF Sensor
That's it! I have had a few problems with the operation of my sun-roof, but I just had to resync it and the problem was solved.
