99 E430 ... 55K miles... O2 sensors replaced under warranty at 30K (check engine light), BAS/ESP computer replaced at 32K, a million and one light bulbs replaced under warranty, what's funny is *knock on wood* the bulbs stopped dying after I passed my factory warranty period. Other than those things, car runs great, and no other problems

Interesting!
My question is, 'At what mileage did your altenator go South?' 
Mine is perhaps on the verge also at almost 92K miles, and I have no way of knowing if it is the original or not.
How did the problem first appear?

1997 E300D
97 E300 DIESEL
97 E300 DIESEL 114,000 Miles total, altenator @ 110,000, diesel fuel lines @ 80,000, fuel shut off valve @ 110,000, motor mounts @ 90,000, lower control arm bushings @ 90,000, brake light switch @ 85,000. It feels like I will need new shocks (orginals still on) soon, although it passes the bounce test. With all that said I love my car, it still runs and dives as new. Many poeple who have seen my car have a hard time beliving the mileage because of its excellent appearance. I have recently purchased the basic carrier and bike racks from Mercedes and they work & look great. I'm on a personal mission to see how many miles I can get from my Mercedes diesel, I hear 300k to 400k is not uncommon. We'll see...

Had two fog lite harnesses done at 6k and 16k,and had the passenger side doors re-aligned,most likely Fritz had a boilermaker for lunch before hangin them.
Other than that,what a car!

I have a 96 E320 with 135,777
The car is solid. Just had a lot of maintenance done on it.
Here is a list :
Miles Work Done
-----------------------------------------------
38,304 Changed Dash Board (Warranty)
46,721 Changed Differential seal (Warranty)
84,047 Ignition coil, spark plugs, cable plug & engine mount
85,554 Replaced Right rear window motor
103,811 Replace Fuel Purge Valve
107,100 Changed Battery
108,200 Changed water pump, radiator fluid
108,200 Changed Left Rear window motor

128,100 Front Shock replacement with Biltstein

Cost me money to keep but well worth the price.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
141k and running strong and very solid. Maybe due to running Mobil 1 fully syn. oil in it. Nothing major ever wrong with the car (knocking on wood) except for the lifters and a small leak in the r&p. Replaced the lifters and it's smooth as silk. Love the sh*t out of the solid feeling of my Benz. Will go definately way over 300k+ miles. Exciting!
