what great condition and low miles - nice ! my 99 E320 just clicked 63k as I try
not to drive it when it's wet out, which means not much in Seattle. I ride the
scooter, 1200cc scooter, or the 4x4 most of the time and baby and work on
small E320 projects. next is single DIN DVD and back up camera

 

Thank you! I like your car as well it looks great with those W211 E55 wheels and red/burgundy color makes it stand out from the crowd-and 63k miles is amazing. Yes it does rain too much here in washington

I have been enjoying the current drought of rain we are experiencing and putting the sun roof back!

Also a single din and backup camera sound cool so keep me posted. Did those E55 wheels go right on or did you have to do any spacers/mods?

 

Pics from a couple of weeks ago.

 

haha that's pretty awesome. I wish I could go back to having that many miles again

 

I own 1998 e320 with 405,000 km on the clock and I cannot believe how great this car is (value for $). I drive this car every day and it is still very strong and reliable. The car is great but Canadian winters have taken their toll and rust is becoming an issue. I am thinking of buying another one (w210) or upgrading to a newer model ( maybe an 03 or 04) but not sure if they are as reliable.

 

Just passed 155k on my 96 E320. Going to apply for the high mileage award soon.

 

This is the 1st Merz I've ever owned, in fact the 1st car with so many miles on it I ever bought. This one nearly 125K at purchase. Of course I did some research before hand and considering what I learned, how perfectly it runs and shifts, and its the cleanest 15 year old I've ever seen. (the engine and drive-train so clean you could lick it) I must admit my only apprehension was that which I couldn't see. So like all else I own, its getting Amsoil in this case there new full SAPS euro 5w40, Mann filter, propylene glycol coolant (after a good flush) and as soon as my dipstick "tool" gets here the best trany fluid... unfortunately Amsoil doesn't have a recommendation....do any of you fine people have an informed favorite...................I also understand this 12/97 has the last of the bullet proof in-line 6s, yet the new 4 plus overdrive or 5 speed electronic trans...hmmmm... best of both worlds? what do you all think? Oh..! I did replace my clutch fan but only because it looked oily and possibly low on silicone oil ( cant take chances in Calif, San Joaquin valley temps) also my passenger side mirror won't move inward......Drivers seat got stuck yesterday, would only slide forward and then back about an 1/8th and stop.....any ideas?....I ran it forward and hand assisted it back and wa la.

 

E320 cdi estate (TAXI)
2001
364280 km

 

1999 E430, 182,900

Selling it and moving into CL55 amg but will miss my E class. Been tremendous.

 

Year:2002
Model: E320
Country: USA
Mileage: 121k
Comments: It rides really great! But in response to the OP saying that these were built like tanks, I might have to disagree a little bit! My W140 has outlasted my W210 in so many ways. The interior plastics are so much cheaper and not nearly as sturdy as the W140, and the paint quality on the W140 is so much better than the W210. The W140 only started to slightly peel after 17 years of hard driving, and the W210 started peeling around 10 years into its life. I feel like anything during Daimler-Chrysler (1998-2007) just went to crap.

 

No pic, but it is at 308,500 now.

 

2000 E320 with 77,550.

 

Just turned 230k. Original engine and trans.

 

Year: 1999
Model: E430
Country USA (Seattle)
Mileage 99,800 (apparently I am the only one actually driving the car!!)
Comments: Extremely reasonable gas mileage (+28 on trips) plus smooth ride but scary at 110 MPH with body movement.

 

Your car should be planted at that low speed (for a German sedan). You might want to check for worn suspension components.

 

I thought I'll be the one with the highest miles...its amazing that these cars are still going strong @ over 300K miles...
I'm keeping it till it die....
But, getting a R350 or ML350....but leaning towards the R more...

 

What the OP meant was that this is the last of the ones that were built like tanks is subject to interpretation and is probably more or less nothing more than one's opinion.

However, your comparison of paint quality is not really indicative that the 210 has significantly better paint quality than your 140 either. The age at which the paint peels is not necessarily indicative of the quality of the paint but could be of the differences in how the car was used/stored.

 

Nice! premium leather sterring wheel and heated/cooled seats

 

Thats odd you say that. I have very very little plastic in my E320. Do you have the leather package? No paint issues with me except one silly rust spot the size of my thumb nail.

 

1996 E320 Elegance - 48,XXX KMs

A few minor interior problems such as damaged steering wheel undercover, leather scuffs and missing electric seat switches. I'm hoping to fix and buy the necessary parts ASAP if I can find them locally

 

1992 300E 4MATIC Midnight Blue (253,000 miles) (retired from being a 4MATIC a few years ago - engine still runs flawlessly - NEEDS front driver axle, some glasswork, blower motor, brakes, leaks some oil - gets about 23 mpg) (not sure what I am going to do with it);

1992 400E Midnight Blue (150,000 miles) (purchased recently from a friend - NEEDS radiator, fan, fan clutch and belt, rotors on top, and brakes) (not sure what I am going to do with it, but I fully expect it would easily run 100,000 more miles as with the 300E);

2000 E430 4MATIC Silver (119,000 miles) (recent purchase looks almost brand new) NEEDS me to drive it more, period.

 

402,000

I found this thread while poking around today. I doubt that I have THE highest mileage, but it's probably one of the higher ones.

The engine is original, with the exception of a valve job done at about 310,000 miles due to external coolant seepage. Amazing car...

 

134k as of today!

 

my new to me '98 E300 has 133,000. This should go up quickly since I drive 30k miles a year. Upgraded from a '00 VW TDI and loving the benz.
