200,000 Mile club
 
Well, I'm officially a member of the 200,000 Mile club. :eek:
Not only that, I'm the original owner.
Years of good maintenance have paid off.

To celebrate, I polished her head light lenses.
She deserved it.

Who else has passed the 200K mark (Miles!) on their C Class?
Ed for sure.....

CKlasse230 06-29-2013 03:26 PM

Midnight Koop 06-30-2013 09:44 AM

Lgraz5 06-30-2013 10:34 AM

230K+ as previously noted. Be sure to contact MB for your high mileage awards.

ggong5150 07-01-2013 01:34 AM

Congrats! I've got about 27k miles to get there!

kluvsbenz 07-01-2013 09:19 AM

Very nice!:y I am at 120k so a long way to go. Looking forward to joining you:bow:

polarbexar 07-01-2013 12:30 PM

Congrats! Isn't it a really great feeling. 210K for now and not planning on letting up.:y

Hopefully I'll pass it down to my daughter in 4 years, should be over 300K by then.

ChrisBrown 07-01-2013 02:27 PM

Just over 160K right now. Received my first mileage award from MB Classics a few months ago. Love driving her everyday!

jtalbert 07-01-2013 04:24 PM

I have a 04 C240 4Matic and last month hit 100,000 miles. All the cars I had in the past I regretted even getting close to 100,000, but I am looking forward to my next 100,000 hopeful miles in my car.

Congrats on your car being 200,000 miles old :)

I have lots of catching up to do with my 05 C240 4M. I am at 95k now. 100k mile review soon to come.:y

C230 Sport Coup 07-02-2013 09:23 PM

Sad thing is, do I continue to put money into the car?
I can feel that new shocks are needed, time for new CO's,
and other stuff. It's hard to justify dumping money into the car.
But it seem to run fine, but I'm still dealing with the head gasket leak, which has been going on for a while.

tommy 07-02-2013 10:47 PM

Yeah, you've been talking about that leak way too long. :slap:

A couple of years ago, I would have said no, don't throw any more money into it, but I've been enjoying mine worry-free for several years now as well. Of course, you never know what will happen next.

ncmudbug 07-03-2013 09:23 AM

Tough decision. I guess a lot depends on your finances and what you would replace it with. A head gasket leak sounds like a serious enough problem to give me cause, but my basic rule is that if you don't have something in mind that you would like better, pay to fix the ride you like. If you'd rather not get another car (new or "pre-owned" :)) - especially if finances are tight - then fixing the car you have would be less expensive to buying a new one.

ChrisBrown 07-03-2013 12:41 PM

Agreed. Fixing and maintaining the car you own is usually almost always cheaper than purchasing a new one. And if it has everything you want already, why get rid of it?

SeaCoupe 07-03-2013 01:12 PM

SeaCoupe has 245k on it.

samaritrey 07-03-2013 02:15 PM

Well I am very close I am right around 197,000 sadly I have been carpooling to summer classes at college so have been putting very little miles on The C320 but will be changing the oil tonight that is always fun.

Glyn M Ruck 07-04-2013 04:33 AM

Just run in Todd! ready for the next 200K! These are the mileages that a Benz should do easily.

C230 Sport Coup 07-06-2013 02:41 AM

I'm looking at doing my maint. for the next 200k miles.

turbonos7 07-07-2013 12:25 AM

I just recently picked up my 05 C230 SS and it only has 110k mi, it runs sooo smooth! I have a long way to go before 200k but I'm sure it will be a smooth ride! I plan on keeping it for ever!

cjennjr 07-07-2013 10:05 PM

I'm at 99,800 miles right now and can't complain - runs smooth, tranny fluid, spark plugs changed, gotta change the fuel filter and differential fluid so I can be ready for the next 100k miles!

mhall4541 07-16-2013 02:16 PM

'02 C320 201,000 original owner. I know it's hard to justify putting a lot of money into wifey's car but she loves it and it's still running strong.

Original owner of 2006 C230 A/T with 110,000 miles... trying to keep her another 90K miles to make the 200K club.

I can deal with Check Engine Light stuff (been through quite a few now, Cam Magnets, MAF sensor, etc. - all fixed by myself), but if there is anything mechanically serious something like cam chain, head gasket, transmission, etc., then not sure.
