1992 W124 Sportline - 242,000 miles. I have had it since 113,000 miles.

It had a head gasket at about 80,000 but still has not had a valve job.

Over 90% of my mileage is long interstate trips.

198,000 1981 300SD... just purchased for 4500.00

In comparison... I just sold my 1993 Honda Civic with 188,000 miles!! So this Merc is still new in my mind.

My 1st car was a 1977 240D with over 295,000 miles on it, I was in love with that car, and someone hit me and totalled it. So now, I am back in the Merc game with the SD.

Sounds like a great ad for MB

What an impressive thread. For your guys with both gas and deisel engine cars what are your impressions of the two as far as longevity, performance, driving enjoyment, etc. between the two?
