Congratulations on the 'new' car. Miles are one story, and with MB they're just a chapter.

If the DPO (Dreaded Previous Owner) only drove 10 miles a trip, that would be 9,500 in/outs etc. That could account for pedal wear, a lot of dancin' going on.

I've started considering miles as a minor variation on a car. I try to take in the overall look, feel, sound, smell, vibration, etc. which will tell the whole story.

I hope you enjoy it for 295,000 more!

BCingU, Jim

P. S. On my Suburban, the trans. has 80,000, the engine has 5,000 and the seats and door handles have 152,000 miles on 'em. It's all in how well they're cared for and where you're gonna' take 'em, not how far they've gone.

Jim
