Just reached 400,000
Yesterday I made it to 400,000 miles with my 1983 300SD that I bought 20 years ago.

Congratulations! Did you ever visit an MB dealer to fill out the papers for a 500 000 km badge?

Congratulations on achieving the mile age. That is great and also to have
had the SD that many years, you must really love her.

Congratulations! She looks good too! Here's to 400.000 more. Cheers!
@Strelnik I called the Mercedes dealer once to get a high mileage badge and they said they had no idea what I was talking about...

Yes, it's got the 500,000 km badge. The 750,000 km is next at around 412,000.

Unfortunately Alaska only has one dealer, who kinda refuses to touches my car since it's too old for them.

You just print the mileage form from the mbusa site and bring it to the dealer to sign. Then it is sent off, and mb sends you the badges!
