Mileage on Mercedes
I have a 15 mile round trip daily commute which may soon increase to 40 due to a change in jobs. This is making me nervous as my baby (yes, the Benz) will be putting on approximately 10K miles a year after this change.
Should I be worried? I am freaking out about this!
The current mileage on my car is 56K.

10,000-12,000 miles annually is an average amount of miles for most cars. I am not sure you should be saving it for the next owner. Just drive it and enjoy. Buying a second car to commute in defeats the purpose of owning one of these great cars.

All true. I guess spending more time in this car isn't such a bad thing.

If you need to use it that is what you bought it for. Use and enjoy it. At least you will have the proper mileage each year for the annual oil change

79,500 on mine and going strong
I bought the car to drive, and that I do.
In my book, there is no finer highway cruiser made than the E class (especially the diesel).
Drive that car and enjoy it.
What could be better than having two hours every day in the car with that beautiful hood ornament shining in your face?

True. I do smile every time I look at my car - lol. It's funny, I never thought I would own a Mercedes, but now that I do, I think I can't go back to a Honda/Nissan, etc..I'm ruined.

My wife's E350 certainly will not be a garage queen. Expect it to be driven close to 25k yearly. It may be an expensive commuter car, but it's what my wife chose over a LS460 and if she's happy - so am I. Only problem now is after doing some research on this forum - we may have to go E550 next time. LOL
