However, from the pictures I have seen of it, the car was beautiful - so it must have been a million extremely pampered and no-expenses-spared maintenance, as compared to the daily pounding the 1974 Greek 240D taxi that really looked like hell when MBz bought it back off the guy.

The most mileage I have ever personally seen is 465,000 miles on...a flathead Ford V8.

My own 1983 300D has a mundane run-of-the-mill 280,000 miles on it, with no major components having yet been rebuilt. It runs and looks just great, however needs new rocker arms and rockers soon.
