1988 300 SE (w126, m103). 230,000 miles, original engine and tranny (as far as I know, and the PO was very forthcoming about everything he'd had done to her). Odometer works.

Max is now up to 283,264 miles. I just sent in my mileage award application. Woohoo! The sales manager at ASC was very nice to me and quite friendly when I asked him to sign the form.

I often find sales people at places that cater to folks with more money than I have to be rather snooty and overly proud of themselves. Good for you, ASC!

just got my first mercedes 2 days ago.....1988 190e 2.3 orig everything 305,000 k's

Twins
 

Both the 87 300E and the 98 C230 have 140k miles, original engine and trans on each. The E will probably outlast the C230, me, maybe even the worlds fuel supply.

83 300D 185k rebuilt transmission from PO (grandparents' car)
90 300TE 235k I think the engine and trans are original
81 300TDT 372k miles no idea on previous history (sold long time ago)

83 300SD - About 251K. Purchased April 2007 at 230K.

Odometer stopped working 3 months ago at 248,846. Have the new gear on order.

Not Mercedes but I have a 1993 E150 Cargo van with 298k. Last of the great straight 6 cyl engines made.

Valve cover and oil pan have never been open. She purrs like a kitten still.

'82 W123 280E - just turned 134,000. All original. I've had it for 1,500, prior to that it was a 1 owner company car that became part of his retirement package. Receipts & history for absolutely everything.

Bruno, the 300SD, had 280K before he died. I replaced the engine at 140K with a 69K 300D engine.

Non-MB notes:

Fritzie is up to 250,000 the engine has never been apart except for timing belts and water pumps I just did the valve cover gasket and the vavle train looked brand new!(Thank God for Mobil 1!) "New" transmission at 180K

The Suburban is up to 148 K

300E at 185K. Headgasket and top-end refresh on original motor at 168K.

Tranny slips, donor tranny awaits swap probably later this year.

Other MBs are toddlers as far as mileage is concerned...
