Avenue 21, Los Angeles, CA., on 07/31/1978) and I discovered that the car was serviced by European Motors Mercedes-Benz 17964 Ventura Blvd., Encino, CA., on 01/11/1985 with 750,000 miles indicated on the service receipt. I also found an oil service receipt for the car in 1989 with 913,411 miles and another dated 04/17/1992 that listed the mileage as 103,457.

By the time I got the car in 1997, it had 242,321 miles on the odometer, and, if the chronology of this old paperwork is correct, the car's actual mileage is 1,315,402!!!!!!!!!
