Wow, congratulations, you must drive a lot, haha. Any problems so far, I plan on keeping mine for around 10 years, which I will be around 120-150k miles. I hope she can make it!

It has performed well, no big problems, except for 2 cracked fogs, sunroof sync, but they are minor things! Still feels tight and performs well.

In the 50's & 60's obtaining 100,000 miles from a vehicle was all that was expected , especially from English Austins , Morris, Wolsesleys ,Vanguards,Ford Prefects ect!

The industry has come a long way in the meantime.

In this day & age 100,000 miles is scarcely run in.

Well done, let us know when you reach 200,000 mile mark !!

First year I bought the car I already had a motorcycle so that was what I was using for transportation to & from work. Drove the Merc occasionally but enjoyed riding more. Sold the Bike early 09 and started driving the C from then on and only racked 13k miles so far..about to hit 14k

Wonder how much the cars still worth......lol

Actually most cars wouldn't make it to 100,000 miles without needing an overhaul. When they were warranted for 50K miles they meant it. Given that, name a car that was designed to go 100,000 miles in those days. Hint it and that particular's make's commitment to safety are the reasons that I am typing these words on this board.
