Hey guis,

I just received my first High Mileage Award for my 2002 CLK 430 Coupe. It is the 155000 mi/250000 km award. MBUSA sent it to me for free, I just had to fill out a form from their website and have my service manager sign it, and they sent me the award with a nice little certificate a few weeks later. To get the form, go to mbusa.com and click Only Mercedes-Benz, then Classic Community, then High Mileage award should appear in the right pane.

I currently have 158000 mi on the car and she is still going strong. No major problems. Here's a short list of what I've gone through so far: 2 alternators, spark plugs, flex discs, brake rotors, 1 windshield, 1 instrument cluster, and 2 catalytic converters (warranty).

Damn thats a lotta driving i thought i drove alot. I guess these cars were built good tho, i saw the lastest consumer reports and our cars sure had much less problems than 03 and up models.

Wheres FJ merc? Is that O.C. or san diego? im in LA

I think so... are you the original owner? I am the original owner of mine but you can still get the award even if you are not.

Everyday I worry about putting more and more miles on my w209, especially now that I'm on the cusp of 70,000 miles. I've put on 12,000 miles in the past 6 months, already. But you have given me hope! Congrats on your award! I hope that mine will hold up just as long, if not longer.
