1985 300TD, Federal Version

The odometer hit a milestone 300,000 miles !

See the attached photos.


Bought the car with 116,000 miles for $9,900 13 years ago. Worth every penny It's been old faithful for years and years - never left us stranded, never been towed since we owned it. Driven non-stop numerous times from Jersey to Florida loaded to the gills with luggage.
Drivetrain is totally original, no oil added between changes, timing chain replaced at 218k mi as a precaution.

That is way cool. I'm only 83K behind you. Give me 10-15 more years and I'll be right there with you.....

I'm only 52,740 behind! I replaced my timing chain at 213k due to some minor stretch and I was paranoid. I am also rooting for 300k, I need to drive more....I am currently at about 15-18k a year....so about 2.5-3 years till I hit the big 300k! My dad will likely hit it in less than 1.5 years at his current rate of nearly 400 miles per WEEK of driving.
