Are you driving to the city every day?

The only person I know who puts that much mileage on a car in about two years is my dad who on avg puts about 30,000 a year driving to brooklyn and back every day.. about 130 miles round trip

And people say Mercedes break down all the time. I know of an owner who has a 1998 E class that has 500,000 miles all on the original transmission, engine, and electronics.

I did, with liftgate, chronic breakage until updated part was installed. Also airmatic suspension leak after warranty was up I had to pay 25% or $260.00.
