All Hail Omegabenz ~ 500,000 MILES!
 

I saw this milestone buried at the end of an old long thread.
I thought it deserved more recognition.

500,000 Miles!

1/2 a million miles on a 1983 300CD Turbo.

Congratulations omegabenz
and thanks for making us feel like our 190,000 mile cars are just getting broken in.

I already 3/5ths of the way there...w00t!

I'm 2.33/5ths :D

4/5th's and 3/5th's for me

I'm impressed...entering into Volvo 240 territory now.:D

I hope I can get that many miles out of mine. I would be very proud to have a car with that many miles on it. :wideeyed:
I don't even have enough miles fro the first milage badge. I am close to the 155k mark but not quite there yet.

im about half way to his 500k.. o yea 260k o yea i need my milage award

I don't even qualify for the first Mercedes milage award yet....(but am close on the W123) long way off with the W116 however....

500,000 on one car is no small task......

i think all of our cars could benifit from a couple cross country trips. shall we meet in main and end in southern cali?:D :D i figure if we do this a few times plus the trip back to our homes we will be caught up:P

Ha, I'm somewhere about 1/5 of the way there @ about 122,500!! yeah!

I just got back from a round trip from Denver to south Jersey, about 4000 miles. The 300D turned over 311k miles (500k km) on the way back. One of these days I have to order the badge.

NICE!!! i doubt ill ever have my sd show 200,000. i need to fix the damn odometor.:mad:

My odometer has just started slipping occasionally, I plan on taking it apart this week to see what's going on in there.

Thank you. I just replaced the glow plugs, and I am back on the road again!

Good for you! How much of the driveline is orignal?


I will probably never get my SDL to 500k. Since I don't drive it half the year now, and the half that I do I drive less. Lets see it has just under 254k now, and if I add 5k a year that comes out to 49.2 years.
