How long do C250’s usually last?
I own a 2013 C250 (1.8 liter 4 cylinder turbo). Got about 149k miles on it. Dealership maintained most of its life. Runs and drives smooth as butter. How many more miles can I expect to get out of it?

- Where are you located, will the climate and environment eat the car up?
- What are your driving habits? Do you redline the car constantly, do you always wait until the vehicle is at operating temperature, etc.?
- Do you maintain by the book or even better? I.e. more frequent oil changes than what MB recommends?
How many more miles can you expect?
- Do you always fix anything that possibly goes wrong IMMIDIATELY?
When do you believe that the car is done?
- I am in CA and the climate does not eat up a car. So when the car is done is most likely depending on the owner. One can fix anything and keep a car on the road, one can even change an entire engine to keep the vehicle running.
So again, your question can only be answered by yourself as to when you think the car is done, and when you are no longer willing to invest any monies into the vehicle.
