[Wow, this thread is really old! / Jim, great to hear from you!]
On post No. 4 (May, 2004) my S 500 L had 27,000 miles, now it clocks a little over 63,000 miles. Still as great today as it was then!
My gorgeous CL 500 which I acquired at the beginning of this year had 12,500 original certified miles. Now is just reaching 14,000 miles. This coupe is the definite king of the road!
