Once your learn the vehicle and maintain/operate it as such they tend to outlive the common "ignored" vehicles. Heck, I had a 86 Pontiac Grand am 2.5/stick that went 230000 untouched before I traded it.

The business that I am contracted with has "city" delivery vehicles that just run local deliveries. They use Ford Ranger pickups (automatics) and several of them have 350,000+ miles on them without an overhaul! They claim that they do only basic maintenance, oil and filters, and different people drive them daily. Point is, Mercedes doesn't have the lock on dependable high mileage vehicles.
