Last year I met a fellow with a 560 with 530,000kms on the clock and the engine was original except for chains and some minor top end work. The tranny had been rebuilt, but only once, and the first owner had done no tranny maintenance.

He had some frustration with the self leveling rear suspension, but otherwise loves the car. He lives a few blocks over from me and I stil see him driving the car. It's the light silver and the body still looks great. It's an 88 if memory serves. I should stop by and see how he's doing.

Thanks for the reminder to go visit someone...
