I've got 155k on mine. Purchased it with 148k. I've spent about 2k on services. Most major item was an Injection Pump that needed to be rebuilt. Car did not idle on # 5 cylinder. Rebuilt pump fixed that. Previous owner had tried a micky mouse repair and that resolved issue. I also replaced all four dampers. Nothing wrong with the old ones except that the car was just too soft for my liking. I replaced with HD Bilstiens. Big improvement. A little less like a barge, more like a boat. Replaced the heater monovalve last weeked. Takes all of about 5 minutes to do in your driveway,and your local dealer most likely has 20 of them in stock. I'm about to spend 500 dollars to install 4 Hakka RSI snows. I assume these cars are as bad as my BMW 735i in the snow but maybe this might help. The car has no scratches, dents, rips, rust etc. It has been garaged all it's life till I got my hands on it. It had some minor wear of the leather dye on the driver's lower seat back. I got one of those leather re dye kits and it was a perfect match. Impossible to tell where it was redyed. I paid 8250 for the car, include an extra set of wheels with mounted studded snow. All original paperwork, manuals,etc were included. I really like the car and hope the engine doesn't spit a rod out of the side of the block and hit me in the foot when I'm dieseling. If it does I'll get a rebuilt from Noel's. Where else can you get a car that is built like a tank. Handles a little better than one, gets 29mpg and can actually keep up with traffic. I bet you you can pay 20k for a new MB and not get one as good as these were.
