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.
- Peter.

83 300D 304k miles
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

My 82 300SD has 310,930 miles on the odometer, which stopped some time between 3-03 with 276K and July 30, when I bought it. I have yet to do a 0-60 I tried, and ended up with 0-50mph in 11.3 seconds before I got cutoff, and almost zero blowby. There are some issues still to work out, but not bad for a $900 car.

My 1980 240D 4 Speed has 711,651 miles on it. It was in rough shape when i got her but the interior is now 99% complete (missing a palamino map pocket). mechanically she runs great, gets 31 mpg, and burns about a quart every 2k miles. i have no engine history, and the current one has enough blowby (slight teakettle effect) to make me think it has had only 1 rebuild. Tranny shifts great, but the cruise and AC will be my next project. it could use a repaint, most 26 year old cars could benefit from one. love the car.
