			Any car can pile on the miles, but what about the best shape at high miles? 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			SDL 257,000 head never off. Injectors perfect, IP and crank timing perfect, uses no oil. Pulls to 60 in 10 and 1/2 seconds, will break the much wider then stock tires lose during the 1-2 shift.    Original tranny is acting up, probably a rebuild in the not to distant future. She has a few miles, but runs as good as she did in 1987.

			My 81 300 D has the original engine and transmission. With 402,563 miles it’s far from perfect: no ACC, dead sunroof, dead rear passenger side window, leaks in the rain, and no paint on the roof and hood. But it starts easily, no smoke or overheating – the engine spots a bit but nothing serious and no leaks from the transmission. It still cruises easily at 75 and has good pickup for an NA car.

			81 240D 4 speek stick. 382000 miles. Original motor but re-built by second owner at 180000. Gear grinding issues, which have been discussed at some length on this forum. No Ac and I'm probably not going to fix it either. That thread's also a long one. Every suspension rubber is shot to hell and there are so many noises from every part of it every time you go near a bump it sounds like it's falling apart. But I still love driving it. I just hope I'll manage to recieve the 750K kilometer badge.

			Pastel Beige 1983 300D with 304,250 miles and climbing.... original engine and tranny with all accessories working fine. Couple of nicks and scratches and some wear in the driver's seat but still a fine ride. I've been thinking about selling to get an SD, but second guess myself everytime I drive it
