2009 42k in it. I just bought it a few months back so I am not witnessing any problems yet. I was looking into extended warranties, but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.
It mostly sits in the garage as I have a company car. As long as I can keep the wife out of it, it may see 10 miles a week. But those 10 miles are the best 10 miles I put on all week!

I have 62K on mine now. I drive it like I stole it as often as possible. Mods, see sig. No other reason to own it unless you drive it hard.
No mechanical issues, my biggest dilemma is deciding if I want to keep chasing the HP up or get a different car. Expensive toy. I want cat backs and air boxes next, that's 4-5K! Trying to justify that on a 62K mileage car? Not to smart I suppose.
Do it all over again choice would be buy one with a Weistec SC already in it and a built tranny.

08 with 52500
Power steering pump 3 times. Replaced from Benz . (2 times was due to doing doughnuts)
SAM defect replaced from Benz
Rear lights replaced (at my cost)
The ticking sound you guys hear I have it to but once you start beating on the car for a good amount of time it will go away for a few days till I get on it again. (I think it like being driven hard)
Ohh yea trans problem at 5500k. Replaced trans cluck packs were not correct ones for 1-2 (problem was in Sport when slowing down to a red light the shift from 2-1 would bang like a hammer since day one .
That's it for me Modded since 12k with tune and headers and still going.

I've got a 2009 daily beater with 76k. No major drama at all except rear tires every 5 months!
I have a logic lab tune, filters and rear cat delete. I plan to keep the car past 100k as I love it more than cooked food.

2008 w/tune & charcoal filter delete just hit 46,000 miles. Have an extended warranty till 4/15 or 75,000. Other than small repairs here & there (like belt breaking or sunroof needing calibration) never any costly repairs...thank God.

so basically 5 years of use (09's were new in the fall of '08)
depreciation ~$25k
5300 miles ~ 130 hours of use (avg on most OBC's ~ 40 mph)
$190 per hour or $4.70 per mile (not including fuel, insurance, etc.)

Funny, He's been driving a lot more since the early summer: well over 12k by now!
Where is he anyway I haven't seen him post in awhile.
We bought our cars a week apart I'm at 26.5k no real issues had a cel a few weeks ago P0171 but it seems to have gone away. No issues other than the tire shop busting one of my TPMS the other day.
