First I ever heard of such a thing. ?

 

People put them all over but my preference would be lower right corner

 

Ah yes. I have seen them before. Just didn't know what they were. Now I know :grin

 

So how do I go about getting one and the cost ?
Mine is about to hit 180k and lol I dont think it's anything to brag about .
My 97 4.6 cougar had 310k with full bolt ons,cams n even a 125 dry shot and ran until the day I tore her down. Then the pistons and walls looked like a 30k engine. It was amazing

Download the form and take it to Mercedes dealer to validate your car

 

Thanks for that, I have 2 here that deserve that, will apply for them .................

This quote was from that page .............. WOW , just WOW ..............

Quote:- The current Mercedes-Benz High Mileage champ is Gregorios Sachinidis, a Greek taxi driver who holds the known record of more than 2.8 million miles in his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D.

Our W203 C Class has 185,000 + miles, and my W638 V Class has over 200,000 miles on it :wink

My Customers locally have two 2007 W639 Vito Minibuses that currently have almost 400,000 miles, a 2003 Mk1 Sprinter with 500,000 on it, and a 2010 E Class with 175,000 on it.

Does anyone know does this cost anything ?? My customers would appreciate me doing this for them

 

It is completely free . Note the link I posted is for USA only
I don’t know the source for the international customers

 

Cheers,

I'll ask my local Dealer

 

Thanks for the link..I will apply for mine thanks to you.

 

Never thought I'd be the one to show something MB Related that would be considered new to this crowd... lol...

I do still have my first award from my W210. Assuming nothing has changed, you get a very nicely presented badge for the car along with a certificate. No cost at all - just takes a while to be sent is all.

 

Yes it takes a while . Be sure to save a copy of your application as I didn’t get mine after waiting three months and had to resubmit it .

If I didn’t keep a copy I would have had to go back to the dealer to get them to sign it again

 

I asked and they stated I could email the form to them. So I scanned it and sent them an email of the filled out application. I have the original filed away with all my MB's paperwork.

 

It just arrived. That was fairly fast.

I have two clk convertibles I need to take to dealership to get the form signed . Do you happen to have a copy of the form so I can just copy the dealer code info ?

 

The form can be found here:
http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalAssets/pdfmb/highmileageaward.pdf

Fill out the form, and just leave the Dealer lines blank unless you know which one you are going to and want to fill out some of the information before hand. All the Dealer is doing is just signing that they saw your car, and double checked that the mileage is true. There is no dealer code. Just the name and signature of someone at the dealership.

I just went to my local dealer before 11AM on a weekday - I was in and out in probably 5 minutes.

Only thing I did different was I scanned and emailed my application to email listed on the bottom of the form.

 

I was trying to avoid going to the dealer lol

 

Reviving an old thread since I am about to buy a high miles Benz diesel. Over 250k. I wonder if I can get the badge having just bought the car or will they tell me NOPE

 

Yea you can get the badge you don’t need to be first owner

Our 2003 S430 has the badge. I put it right in the center of the grille. It has 164,500 miles.

Also going to get it for our 2003 S600, as it just clicked over 181,000 miles. Since that car has Distronic, center-of-grill installation isn't an option, so it will go on the lower right.

I bought all of our MB's used and am thus not the first owner. MB has no problem with this. Why do it? Personally, I think it's actually kinda cool.

 

Yea you can get the badge you don’t need to be first owner

 

Dave,
Just out of curiosity, did you find out what UK or European or RoW folks have to do to get the award?
