I got all of you beat!
November of 05 delivery date and I just hit 110,000 miles....
On the way home from work last night (57 miles) I averaged 35.1 mpg and 66 mph..........I'm do for another set of rears and front brak pads and rotors (this will be my second set of rotors up front) I've lost count on the tires though.....
I took the car out and autox'd it a few months ago and finished 1st in class against an A4, Cooper-S, Acura CL-S and a few other cars.....
It's been a pretty good car so far, and I plan on keeping it for another 100k, but I will be buying a second car for around town stuff......

My gas sipping C-Class
Yeah, but none that have left me stranded......My AC compressor took a dump around the 65k mile mark....cost me about $1500.00. I replaced it with new OEM and it went out again around 85k miles. My mechanic, who's very fair, replaced it under warranty.
I've had the odd "left side marker out" message and then it goes away, cause the light starts working again.
Other messages:
"low coolant"
"ESP Error..Visit shop"..............This is a sporadic message that started about 3k miles ago. The ESP is still working, as it kicks in a couple times a day (I hit highway ramps at high speeds)
"left headlight out"......I have the Xenons and always drive with my lights on, so they actually lasted a long time...I replaced both at the same time around 90k miles.
I've gone through numerous sets of tires, several sets of brake pads, front and rear rotors, and the last two oil changes have required 1qt about 4k miles before the scheduled service.
I've also replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner pulley (as preventative maintenance)
The biggest disappointment has been the finish on the inside...I've worn away whatever film is on the arm rest and I have a few bubbles next to the buttons on the steering wheel.
All in all, this car has been very reliable...actually the most reliable car I've owned considering the mileage. Not to mention, I feel unbelievably safe in this car. I drive fast and the ESP, braking, handling, feel, etc.....give me extreme confidence. It's almost like you can NOT get this car sideways in the rain, even when entering a highway ramp at 90 on semi-slick roads....
It's quiet and smooth, especially with new tires....as my tires wear, I'll get a small vibration around the 80mph mark......New, probably un-cupped, tires take care of that every time.
I'll try and get some pictures posted up in the next few days.

My mother and I bought our 2001 C240 new in June, 2001. It now has 28,000 mostly New York City stop and go miles on it. Still original tires, brake pads, and rotors. Does anyone know if there is an age limit on the OEM Michelin tires? I only drive 3500 miles per year but these tires must have a time limit when they should be replaced. The tread still looks new though.
