300E, 1990 with 86,350 miles (about 138,160 Km)
And around 185,000 miles (296,000 Km) on my previous 300E 1986. I know the guy who got it from me and I see the car frequently. Going strong.
I love these cars.

Among many diesels, I also have a 300E. I have a manny tranny in it. My '86 300E has only 334K miles on it and it turns 3:1 on the highway because of the 5th gear.
*I have to laugh at these commercials advertising special lubricant formulas on TV for 'higher mileage vehicles'. The cars they are talking about have 75K miles on them. 75K miles in a Benz is like nothing at all!

300TE / 300E / 300CE
Okay, so it seems no one has hit over 300k. I'm wondering what starts to fail at this point. My largest concern is the things that would require a rebuild like crank or rod bearings. My 86 needed valve seals, pulleys, tune parts, and a water pump at 275k miles but I'm not sure what work if any was done prior as I bought it 5k ago. I also have the clunky tranny which I hear is common for this mileage.

137K on my 500E...needed ALOT of work starting at 125K but he's fine now...hopefully for at least another 130K.
I know someone with 350K+ on his 500E.

08 Lexus GS350 AWD. 08 Lexus RX350 AWD - wife's. 94 MBZ E320 - still have it.
Just turned 100 K on my '94 E320. Last month replaced the head gasket, because minor oil leaks were driving me nuts. It was quite a job, but I did it at home with my brother's help. So, the only expence was about $200 for new gaskets, bolts, and valve stem seals.
Nothing looks better, folks, than a Mercedes engine without any oil on the outside!

1993 Mercedes 300CE
Arnie,
I agree. My 93 300CE just turned 100K two days ago and I had the head gasket replaced within the last month. Peace of mind and even better - no more oil dripping.

84 300D 93 300D
1993 300D 2.5L Turbodiesel 168,000 miles. It still has a long way to go to catch up to my 1984 300D Turbodiesel with 313.700 miles. My garage floor calls her "the Valdez".
