Talking List your mileage here for your C36/43

Lets try and keep this just mileage. I found another thread similar and it had turned into something completely off topic. So just the mileage and how shes running!!!


I am at 128k miles and she runs like brand new!

I've got 63,000 miles on mine and I love everything about her. When I mash the throttle I get a grin like a cheshire cat; the wail of the inline six is just plain addictive.

^^^ I think all that is to be expected. Its time for a whole suspension rebuild. Get it done and go for 300k!

Mine's a daily driver and I have 84k. I put snow tires on it for the winter and take it skiing every weekend - I know you guys think that's crazy but it climbs the 12,000 mountain just fine (with the right tires). I agree, the car seems as strong, if not stronger than ever. The only issue that I had recently was the BAS/ESP light came on during a sharp turn on a very cold day. It went on and off for about two weeks before completely resetting itself...had me worried, but apparently no problem. Perhaps the cold temperate caused a lateral acceleration sensor to stick, don't know, but this thing seems to have a heart of it's own.

152.5K and uses ZERO oil in between 5k changes (15/40 dino)-

In the last 5K miles tuneup done, flushed tranny fluid replaced the MAF, broke the rear flex disc (replaced both and the carrier bearing), replaced the rear 02 sensor and CPS, and now flipping P0441 code because the MOT valve just needs a cleaning.

Gonna clean the MOT valve and replace engine and tranny mounts next weekend. It appears they failed (about time @ 152K)- engine and tranny bangs hard at kickdown

Thankfully I DIY and it's all cheap stuff and it's consumables.

As far as I'm concerned it's just all housekeeping and maintenance. Suspension is like-new tight and it pulls and shifts so hard (esp after tranny flush) it will chirp going into 2nd at full throttle and if you floor it at 80 you'd think you were being towed along by a 747.

Ya, it's got that much torque and runs that hard with that many miles

198,600. So close! But then again after I hit it, it will pretty much be unsellable. Put on around 40K in the last 18 months

Unsellable??? If you have properly maintained it,it shows and that you have 200k on it is a testement to maintainance and amg/merc quality.In the near future I will be buying a C36 to start a little collection and I wouldn't shy away......Plus 95 is the first year they were exported here......

All true, but to anyone else that doesn't know the wonder of the cars, it will at least be a tough fight to convince them that these engines can go forever. And unfortunately my car is not in the best shape, but from the owners before me more than me, I just pamper the thing is much as my wallet will allow And even for the people that do know these cars, there are plenty of C36's around that have barely 100K on them, so I wouldn't see why anyone would go for the one with 200k, unless I sold it for like, $2,000, which would make me cry

'99 C43
I get about 18 and 23 city and highway...

My C43 is my daily driver and I've got 46.5K original miles on it. Except for the usual minor "sandblasting" on the nose from driving it, it looks and runs like new.

I've owned it for 5+ years and put about 20K of those miles on it. I had a short daily commute, now I'm working from home.

Who's got lower???
