I have seen some for sale with mileage up to 148K, of course the price of these high mileage R129's are very low compared to lower mileage R129's. As with any car, proper maintenance is the key to longevity. And yes I know that the engine in the R129 from 1999 to 2002 is not the same as those in the earlier models. So, what is your mileage?

I have 58,000 on my 1993. Now experiencing some problems related to age (leaking power steering pump, some sort of problem, as yet undiagnosed, with the a/c) but nothing other than that except for normal wear items (tires, brake pads, etc.) Also had a "varmint" of some type eat through my brake line while the car was in winter storage, but that's not MB's fault!
