1982 300CD: 114,600
(1983 CJ7: 202,197!)

149,600 and counting. Got it with 122,000 on the clock. I put between 90 and 120 miles a day on it during the workweek.:rolleyes: Not much of a choice, have to go to Tampa to make any decent $$$:mad:

My 300D has 241K miles, and I've driven it for about 18K of those, I think.

My F-250 (6.9l Navistar diesel) has 214K miles, and I've driven it for 15K of those. :)

I know, both of them are babies... ;)

You can see my miles below. We've put about 105k on them since we purchased them. Four daily drivers going to five by June 2004.

Can't help bragging a bit
 

I'm new to the diesel realm (just bought '95 E300D with 140K) but you don't have to have a diesel to get high miles. I just retired my '89 Mazda 626 turbo, first new car I ever bought. It had just over 300,000 miles. Original turbo, never opened the engine. Timing belt every 60K, plugs about every 50 - 75K, oil change every 3K with dino. Still running fine when retired, the electrical gremlins were getting to me.

Just goes to show that a well maintained car, gas or diesel, will do the miles. 'Course it's gotta be decently engineered and manufactured in the first place too!

Rgds,
Chris W.

I just rolled over 200k on my daily driver, my 1980 300SD.
My wifes daily, an '82 300D has 335k on it, and my other SD, an '83 has about 240k on it. My son is driving my '80 300D with over 320k. We all laugh at what most people consider high mileage. I wouldnt hesitate to drive any one of my cars coast-to-coast right now.

this is a mix...
 

the 91 Sentra SE-R - 151K and does track time a couple times a year - owned since new

the '01 CLK55 is the garage queen - no rain! - 6,800 miles - bought Jan 01... it's about $200 every time I open the garage door ;)

the 84 300SD was my mothers - she put 180K - I've added just 1K and a friggin' lot of money into it! oh well - the diesel stuff is some pretty sick fun! :D

1982 300TD turbo 191K

313K miles on my 300TD
8K miles on my '03 Ford Taurus and it pings already!

My '91 Soob has 238,000

My '85 SD has 298,000

My old 300D had 330,000

My bro-in-law's 300SD had 440,000

'84 190D 2.2 158K. I've put 22K of that on it. I just changed the oil today with Shell Rimula 15W 40. It right away quieted up (not as much 'clackety' sounds). She's leaking oil though... Which is going to haunt me forever. Does that leak stop additive stuff work? Or is it a big no no?

My 79 300D has been at 282,000 for 1 1/2 years when I replaced N/A engine with a turbo. Got speedo to work recently, but the darn odometer quit after about 100 mi. So it has over 300k, but not sure where.
The 300SD has 139,000 but it just joined the family about four months ago, so it is still just a young'un :)

Just curious, where in central CA are you?

Use better gas and it won't ping.

321k miles on my 300SDL - 97,000 of my own.

How many miles?
 

More than enough to shock and awe any driver of Detriot iron.

See below!

Joe

My '81 300CD has only 131,000.

My '79 450SEL gasser has 256,000.

Of course, the engines and transmission have not been touched.

1999 E300DT 73,333 miles, still an infant.

Read my signature for the 240D, it had 380,000 miles at engine time.

I also drove my first 240D, a '77 model, to 287,000 before replacing with the '84.

My wife drove a 300TD to a little over 200,000, the fellow that bought it is still driving it.

My $0.02,

My 1984 300SD has 212,330 on the clock....and going stronger than our 1995 Volvo 850 which has only 120,000.

My '82 300SD has 296k on it, original engine, 3rd transmission. Hope to get that 500km badge next year!

1983 300SD - 321,000 miles

See below. Can't own a car with less than 100K in it.

Jerry

Yes
 

240D...332,000 miles.

All of mine are babies.

1999 E300 Turbodiesel - 92,000
1980 240D - 120,000
2000 Jetta TDI - 76,000

Okay...so what is to be done with all this information? Can the original poster compile some averages?

See below for mine...

1972 W115 220Diesel.

Bought this puppy about a month ago for $2000 with a rebuilt motor and new paintjob. I have spent the last 3 days, and will spend the next week, fixing everything else that is neglected.

I just fixed the odometer ... which had stopped at 64,000 miles. Supposedly, it stopped 5 years ago with one revolution. So one would guess about 200000 miles... though who really knows.

I had it set to 0. Might as well say it is brand new after all the work I am giving it.

Where am I ?
 

Warden, no problem, I am about 40 mi south of Fresno in Tooolare :)

For just the diesels in my garage:
82 SD 302k
86 SDL 254K
F250 7.3 L 145K

Tom

just broken in
 

Folks,

I bought my '87 a year ago with about 210K on it. Now has 245K and still running well. I have tried to update a signature with some previous and current vehicles. My 2 "newest" ones just crossed 110K.

Chuck
