My 1999 C280 has 187,000miles. Runs well, normal repairs including MAF and Waterpump. Rusting out like a Yugo in the rainforest though. Really pisses me off, because I love the ride, the engineering, etc. but what a crappy finish. What to do about the rust?
I have a 98 C230 with 260,000 KM. Runs Great. Have had to change a few things in the 2 years that I have owned this vehicle. Ignition Coil (2nd Cyl), Window Regulator (Rear Window), Rear Springs & Alternator. Other than that I love my car!
The 98 C230 got totalled at 276,000km. Some idiot rear-ended me going 80km/h . Just bought a 2000 C230K with 165,000km in June. Now at 173,000km - No problems, MAF replaced by previous owner at dealership $865!!!!

I just bought my C230K in July and it has 156,000kms on it. I've only had to replace the Front Brakes, and the factory stereo. By the sounds of it, I'll soon have to replace the exhaust and the insanely loud squealing rear brakes. Thankfully, no surprises yet.
i read somewhere, the record is held by a teacher in NY with a Volvo P series that has 2,500,000 miles on it. that a salesman from Wi, just turned in MB that had 1,000,000 on it.
My 98 E320 has 178,000mi. original exhaust, just replaced shocks.
my 1992 300CE has 167,000.
my neighbor has 220,000 on his 300E, which runs great and he just finised 2000 mile road trip, getting 30 mpg.
I retired a 190E 2.6 (W201) several years back with 311,000 miles on the clock -transmission finally went and I'm currently driving a 1996 E300 (W210) which has 257,000 miles. All going well (I'm switching units) in another year and a half the two will total over 1,000,000 km!
