I purchased my TE with 131k on it December 31 today I will probably hit 140 I am a driving fool. Oil Consumption is moderate so I am having the Valve Seals, Timing Chain, Cam Cover Gasket all for $908 by a reputable Mercedes mech up here in the great white north. I plan, or hope to put 300k on it at least. I travel everyday and the TE is perfect for me and my tools. I have already put an Eclipse sound system in it. It is a smooth runner and like all I pray for no A/C problems. The previous owner was average on upkeep but they did replace the fuel tank, exaust, and a few other biggies. some of the switch's are gettin spongy so I plan on replacing them maybe this weekend. Oh yea I replaced my tailgate shocks last week.
