He's probably lying. I'll bet he's got over 900,000 miles on it, but just wants to make it sound good . . . .

Someone really should get this car and get it to 1 million miles. They may get a new car from Mercedes! Or at least get on a commercial like Ford Trucks.

The only problem is the next owner would be putting on 11% of that one million miles, and it would take many years.
900k is enough... Enshrine it.

What would be most impressive would be an Odometer working correctly for that long!

I wonder if anyone has considered the possibility of a misprint on the mileage.

Since they preface the ad with "high mileage" and report 3 transmission rebuilds, I don't think so. Its unlikey the transmission crapped out that many times in 89,000 miles.

That said, I probably wouldn't take a cross-country trip in it by myself without a solid backup plan ...

I guess enshrine wouldn't be the best choice of words. Heck, if I had a 300SL gull wing I would drive it as much as I can.

I'd build a nice new climate controlled addition on to my shop for it to live in. Something with a nice porcelain tile floor.
... but you better believe I would still drive it!

Buy it then send it to MBUSA to get a replacement...as long as you can ask proof from the PO of maintenance records dating as far back as possible to document the miles

To heck with that! I WOULD WANT TO KEEP IT FOR MYSELF! It's way cooler than anything MB would try to give me as a replacement! I'd let them have pictures of it, though.

Or perhaps another forum member swooped in and picked it up.
