'02 C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe in Citron Green
100,000 on 2002 C Coupe

Hey everybody,

I just got back from a Philadelphia, PA -> San Francisco, CA -> San Diego, CA -> Philadelphia, PA road trip and thought I would share some pictures.

Most notable for this forum, and in the subject header, is that I passed 100,000 km (62,137 miles) on my less then 23 month old car!

100,000 KM in New Mexico:






100,000 km = 62,137 miles





Lots of bugs after 20 hours of higway driving:







At the Golden Gate Bridge
(a big deal for an east coaster)





On the Pacific Cost Higway
This is my favorite picture of the whole trip!

Great Road Trip!!!
My Audi was "bugged" like that after a drive from Phila to Ft. Lauderdale. The car washes in Fla. had special bug wash deals.

Naw, that's just MB's new quality control. Heck, I'm surprised a coupe made with that many kilometers.

A minivan backed into me. I'm too lazy/cheap to get it fixed.

I've only had two minor problems in 100,000 KM:

-A short in an ESP sensor (no big deal)
-A bad airflow sensor that put the car into limp mode (annoying)

I'm very happy with the car's reliability. With only 24 of 60 months paid for and it being out of warranty it better stay that way!
