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.

Good to know. That's why I joined mbworld.

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!

Ammi

what are you guys planning on doing after 100k miles? DYI? Pay out of your own pocket? Are there companies that even offer warranty after 100k miles?

119K, trying to figure out some immisions codes, and needs ball joints replaced... fine otherwise. I've only owned her for the last 3K miles.

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.

Ammi

you bought your car used at 116k on the clock w/out warranty???

A buyer and seller can take all issues into account when agreeing on a price, and in this case the price was right.

i'm not seeing a problem with that. most buyers are prepared to work out some bugs when they buy higher milage cars. gonna see a lot more of this now that our cars are aging.

My car has 77K now, I did 1.5k about 1 month now. So far no problem yet. Its a 06 with 77k which a lot of mileage per year. So far so good !
