89,XXX.... put on 35K miles in the past year. No issues whatsoever. I did replace the valve cover gasket and rear main seal but that's due around this time.
Anything I should do before 100K that you guys have noticed?

'03 C32 AMG, with 82,000 miles.
Car has been decently reliable since I got it (put about 10K miles on it).
I have replaced:
intercooler pump
alternator
spark plugs
wires
besides routine maintenance like fluids and oil changes.
There are a few issues right now:
driver headreset doesnt move... probably dead motor or bad connection.
sometimes the transmission acts a little funny
leak from the valve cover gaskets
the shifter knob needs replacing
and the key for the car doesn't unlock unless I'm fairly close.
All things considered, I love this car and consider it reliable.

I bought my c-55 @ 73,000 miles. the dealer replaced a seal where oil was leaking where the engine and trans connect. about $1,100. but they did it for free.
Now I had no warranty....
At 85,000 miles, Alternator broke, $700 @non-dealer shop
At 95,000 miles, had to replace xenon headlights because they started blinking and stopped working.. $2000.
At 98,000 miles, radiator leaked, $400 and almost overheated engine on the freeway due to low coolant... but it is now ok
At 100,000 miles fuel pump died, alarm stopped working, 2 different sensors had to be replaced (one was for controlling cylinder fuel ignition) , oem pulley that sits at highest point broke off.
now at 110,000 miles and my driver side power window doesn't work.
I still love my car though.. (daily driver)

Glad to see some other high mileage cars. Mine's an '03 with 142k on it now. Still going strong. Just developed the pogo door lock though.
Been in the shop twice for repairs:
First time - Idler pulley froze up, I caught it before belt broke. Had to replace water pump as a result because the idler pulley mount, which is part of the pump casing, bent. bah.
Second time - Transmission limp mode. It was leaking around the plate.

>2002 Saab 9-3 Viggen - Crazy torque steer!
Nice. Always liked the Viggen. The guy who did my tune has a viggen putting down >500 at the wheels. And his racing 2.0 > 700. I'm happy with mine at the moment.
