Congrats on the miles!

My newer SD just rolled over to 250K almost 2 weeks ago. It is at over 251K now. The older, grey 300SD is at 398K but true mileage is unknown. Judging by wear, it may have more miles on it. I imagine it takes a lot of driving to smooth 3/4 of the surface on the steering wheel.

Congratulations, pelon, on that milestone!

I bought my '83 300 SD 20+ yrs ago, with 160k+ miles on her. She's now over 400k miles, but the odometer is now broken. So who knows?

Happy motoring!

congrats on the odometer flip.

Does it count if your odometer is broken but you log your fill ups? The SD with the working odometer gets 22 mpg. The one with the broken odo should be getting close to 300k. I'm thinking of selling one to cut down on projects.
