He's probably lying. I'll bet he's got over 900,000 miles on it, but just wants to make it sound good . . . .

Yeah, it probably has already rolled over once but he figured he'd have no takers if he stated that!

Someone really should get this car and get it to 1 million miles. They may get a new car from Mercedes! Or at least get on a commercial like Ford Trucks.

The only problem is the next owner would be putting on 11% of that one million miles, and it would take many years.

900k is enough... Enshrine it.

Why not drive it if it still drives OK? I wouldn't drive it just for the sake of trying to reach 1 million miles, but if it runs fine and is in good structural condition, keep it on the road ... these cars like to be driven, not enshrined.

That said, I probably wouldn't take a cross-country trip in it by myself without a solid backup plan ...

I guess enshrine wouldn't be the best choice of words. Heck, if I had a 300SL gull wing I would drive it as much as I can.
