Yup......that's it, Shertex! I drive my 2002 E450 7.3 Powerstroke turbo-diesel cutaway RV now for most out-of-town trips!

I hear ya......but I learned how to properly adjust the side mirrors on my MBs over the years to eliminate the blind spots on either side of the car when driving.

I'm glad to hear of your glowing report too!!! 👍

I've never had a problem with a blind spot until the W211. The mirrors are a little smaller than previous models and no matter how adjusted present a blind spot on sides of car.....especially left. Euro mirrors eliminated them completely.

Seriously? 5k miles in 26 months? Hope it doesn't feel neglected!

I'm putting about 5k a year on each mine...so I'm not much better. And now, with a brand new CRV, all vacations, family trips etc. will be in it. Happy to put miles on the car that will have no repair costs for ten years!

I bought a new 2017 Corvette two years ago, so that's where some of the miles go.

I'm putting 7-12k on mine per year. Great road car for cross country/ long distance trips. Always a pleasure to drive.

Owned 8 years in June 2021.
Put 1,400 miles on it in the past 12 months.
Has 79K on it now. 20K miles in 8 years.
Keep it in near tip top repair. Fan for HVAC squeaking, after replacing it for ticking 5 years ago.
Sad that I don't use it more.
I think this qualifies for a low/er mileage car.

Headliner dropped. Got a firm price of $350.00 from the trim shop I used for the '99 E300 headliner in 2013.
