SL/R231: High Mileage R231’s : What’s the Highest Mileage you’ve seen




Of course I don’t believe too much I read over the internet these days 😀
I always watch Autotrader and you can generally gauge how durable cars are by looking at high mileage examples and how they fare.
Now that the R231’s are starting to age, the high mileage examples are starting to show up.
Here’s an SL550 with 147,638 miles. (carfax shows normal maintenance)
147,000 mile example
and another with 137,455 miles.
137,000 example
What’s the highest mileage R231 you’ve seen?

122k I think, is one of the highest for a 6cy I've come across so far.
Damn good! Hopefully you'll be the first one here to get it to 200k!
