Cool How many miles / Km on your engine?

I was just interested to know just how long Mercedes Benz engines last, while being well maintained obviously.

So, how many miles / km on you engine?
Perhaps we can find out who has the oldest, longest running merc engine.

here's mine
C230K, 75 000km, 2002 model, still going strong *touch wood*

I have a 2006 C280 and I've got 35,000 miles. I'll have 65,000 miles by the end of my lease (as I'm going back for my masters degree and have a part time job in addition to my full time job = excessive driving)...

Needless to say, I'm taking the payoff option from my lease in a few months and I'll start out right financing it ;-)

I have an 06 C230 Sport with 22K. Still a baby.

Before I got this one, I had a 1996 C220. It had 150K before I sold it. Drove it for 10 years. No problems at all except for regular wear and tear items. That's why I bought another C class, I'm hoping this will last for another 10 years. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm really glad to see these things going over 100k as I'm just about to start law school and need it to last 3 or 4 more years.

Nice car!
Yeah. Sounds like a truck, smells like a truck, runs like a truck, rides like a car. Never dies . . .

Traded it for a lighter/quicker/nimbler sedan. Somebody got a great $4,000 used car when they bought that one!
