People w/ high mileage... please chime in
I'm trying to target people w/ 70k miles or more
1)How many miles do you have and what kind of problems have you run into?
2)Have warranty for miles after 100k miles or pretty much DYI after 100K which can be very expensive!

I'm in the 70k+ miles club. Car is running strong. I have a go to guy for all my mercedes stuff. He can get me any mercedes part and he doesn't charge stealership prices! LOL He takes care of me very well! 
The only problem I have is that the more I drive it, the less I want to get rid of the car...EVER!~!

I have 71k miles and my car is doing great with no major problems. I did have some front suspension bushings/bearings go bad a month back or so, but I believe that was due to the crappy roads I drive on while visiting clients. Not too bad when you consider that I have been driving my SL on those crappy roads for 4 years with 20"wheels & 25 profile tires.

I have 87,000 miles and havent had any problems yet ,and just put down 440rwhp with a 168mm pulley and a tune with 20"s so i guess my car is strong as ever. I have a warranty until 100k so i dont have to worry about repairs until then.

Would it be possible to post these questions in the technical forum?
I feel like a kid on a tricycle when I post out of my 07 C230 forum.

115k miles so far. besides normal maint, I replaced the alternator at 98k and had a front strut go out after hitting an unmarked under repair section of asphalt. my biggest problem is keeping my foot out of it!

I DIY. Downloaded WIS, browsing forums and EPC. Down the line I might buy one of the star diagnostic systems on ebay, too much of this car is locked in that system.
