Thanks Barry,
This is my wife's car. I'm stuck with a 16 year old 300E.

The only things ever put into or on the 300E that didn't have an M-B part number are tires and 15W-50 Mobil 1.

I wouldn't be afraid to take this car anywhere in North America.

The color is Teal and the interior is a beautiful cream leather than looks like new.

I'd intended to sell this car when we bought the '04 E320 but I simply can't give it up.

The only time I get to drive it is on vacation. I get to drive it 5,500 miles and she gets to drive it across the Mackinaw Bridge while I do my best to avoid looking down

That is one of my favorite colors MB ever made. I am still trying to find a 560SEC in that color.

BudC,

Looks amazing.

As for your 300E, how many miles? A friend of mine has a 190E w/ over 300k miles on it now.

I see you've replaced the Volvo with something better. As for my new car, the last one was only 3 years old when I sold it and for me that's barely broken in.

Also, I'm in Grand, not Sun City. Those folks over there are REALLY old

It's only got 78K on it. Until we moved to Arizona, I only drove it in the summer and only on vacation. We had a 190D that was our daily driver.

When the M-B Club had a high mileage contest some time ago, there was a guy in Ohio that had two 190D's. If I remember correctly, one of them had well over 300K on it and the other one well over 400K. Those W201's were really bulletproof.

Yea, I was thinking of your E300, but I guess you kept that one. They don't make'em like they used to I guess.

Well EXCUSE ME! Don't want to compare you to those old fogies in SC now do we??

BTW.. does the new E have the feature where the seat and steering wheel moves to let out easier when you take the key out?

No, it only has the tilt up steering wheel and they've got rid of things unique to a key. If you can't make it work, just eliminate it.

I'm going to send you an email about that Mac Pro. Jeez!

had an excuse to by it... Jen's photo business is booming.. she's #1 on google now for "Phoenix Childrens Photography" and "Scottsdale Childrens Photography"

$11K for a computer was a good 7 year depreciation schedule item.

(edit, or maybe it was 5 year, I forget!)
