Hello, first time checking in on this thread.

We have a 2006 E320cdi which we purchased new at the MB dealer here in Portland in May 2006. It has a bit over 123k miles on it and has been a great car for my wife since new. Garaged at home since new, but she parked it outside at work for the last 6 years during the day. We recently had all the door dings and small scrapes in the paint fixed and it looks like new again. No rust, no accidents.

Its just basic silver with black interior, but well loved. Dealer serviced until 2 years ago when they seemed to lose interest, now going to a local MB independent in Portland. We replaced the idler pulleys with a belt change 2 years ago. Otherwise just oil changes annually and brake flush every other year. Actually, there was a trans fluid and filter in the past along with ball joint service too.

We passed a palindromic mileage number on a roadtrip last weekend 123321, and also 123456, which seemed kind of cool. We had an issue of limp home mode for a short leg of the trip, drove normally afterward. About 900 miles on it yesterday. I'll get it on the Star system later this week to check the codes. Doing fine today as well.

We have a couple of older Europa G500s in the garage as well and I am pretty handy. It helps having a good indy shop for back up if I get in over my head.
