C300 2009 with 110K
I have had excellent service from my car thus far. However, a friend with the same year and model just recently had her transmission go out at 160K.
Should I consider trading my car now?
It has been out of warranty about a year.

B) Have you serviced your transmission? (Drain and filled tranny/torque converter fluid at the recommended service intervals?)
These parts don't tend to go kaboom with proper maintenance. There are Benzes with half a million to over a million miles. Mind you - maintenance is important.

More Info
I have done EVERY service as recommended since I bought the car as a CPO with 35K miles.
A salesman's wife had it before me.
I am now retired on fixed income and cannot afford $7,000 for a new trannie, but would like to keep my C300 for at least 2-3 more years. I drive about 12K miles per year on freeways in So Cal.
