300,000 miles.....

A few of you other diesel heads might be in the same boat. I don't have a pic of the odometer yet but I know some of you will believe me. I hit the big 300,000 tonight. Never a rebuild!

Mine is a baby in comparison....

You make mine feel young! Mine is a '91 420SEL and it "only" has 213k miles on it! Original engine, tranny, etc.....

A classy ride, and built for the highway!

Well done, she looks great. With almost 382,000 miles on a non-rebuilt engine, I believe!

I sold my 84 SD with 270,000 on the clock. A couple of years later (1999?) I found an old key for that car. I still had the buyers address so I mailed him the new key. He sent me a nice note back telling me he had almost 400k on it by then and thanked me for the key. He asked when I would be selling him his next car...
[:D]

Just like the old Timex....

My '85 280SE has an odometer that is broken at 202K. More than likely it has upwards of 300K with ne'er a rebuild.

DBENZ357:
Any day now may be a good day to "touch" your engine. I would start with removing the head cover and checking the timing chain stretch. Things can get real ugly when the chain is stretched too far or breaks.

RE: 300,000 miles.....

I've got an 83 SD with 136k!
Anyway, car looks great, maybe one day I will reach that mileage.
Mercedes still has the mileage awards program in place.
If you call them, they will send you out the info.

How often do you adjust the valves?
