Disregarding my vergassers.....

I have 241K on my 83 300D and it burns no oil, nor leaks any....

In the past I had over 400K on one of my 69 220Ds before structural rust finally did it in. Engine and 4 speed manual still performed well.

Our 87 300TD had 240K when our neighbor bought it, now has close to 270K, still has the original transmission.
