Pretty funny. How about the Neon with a half million?

Amateurs.

Thats pretty good for an American car. We all know that ours last much longer. Mine's got 305k, and still drives like a dream.

I wonder why there are no Mercedes out there?

I do like the "amateurs" comment.:D

Sure some other cars might run for a real long time, but who on earth would want to spend 500k of driving in a non-MB?! yick!

I drive my 300SD 80 miles a day....probably about 24k a year or so. I'm coming up on 293k next week....

I am the only person at my workplace who drives a German car....and everyone else is ALWAYS fixing stuff on their cars, and they are all 1/4 as old or less....and with about 1/5 the miles....

That one brown Jeep called "Vex" has had 5 engines in it. Not sure how that qualifies.

DieselPaul 03-25-2010 07:16 PM

+1 on Amateurs.

Well 200k isnt much, but for my 01 ford to have 347,000miles is crazy, i dislike ford mess talkers, lol. My 300sd odo broke at 255k.

thayer 03-25-2010 07:52 PM

now there is a 190d and a 300d.

In 2005
 
My neighbor bought a 2000 Freightliner with 500,000mi on it. In FIVE YEARS he added another 710,000! The only bad thing is it's a pre Mercedes era Cummins ISX, still not bad, though.

There is an 850Ci on there?? I wonder how much each of those miles cost!

mowoc 03-26-2010 11:56 AM

There is a person on there with 250k on a ford Festiva.....:D

Yeah, 200K-250K seems like chump change with our diesels.
