'85 has 260K and the '84 has 214K. i've put 80K on the '85 and '54K on the '84 since 2005

daily driver and has been for 3 years now. running about 250-300 miles a week

Just put my first 100,000 miles on it last week, bought it 5 years ago at 234k. I gave it 4 new Bilsteins, rear brakes and an air filter bracket to get it ready for the next 100,000.

My commute is now 650 miles per week, new job requires it.

It's the least trouble-free car I have ever had. period. Except for the A/C.

I have had my 82 300 D for 10 yrs and it's the best car i have ever owned. I have done for the most part just routine maintenance. I drive 300 mile a week.

I resurrected my '81 late last year after it had been sitting idle (needed new turbo) for about 4 years. Drive it roughly 300-500 miles per week.

I bought my 300CD new and for 24 years it's been my daily driver - never misses a day.

Both of our Benzs are daily drivers. I do about 20,0000 miles per yer. My son is up in the Midwest running his 85 with 330,000 miles all over the place. Got to love it!
