275K miles or so on my SDL,
254K miles or so on my SD, The SDL is off by 15K miles, because it is the car that gets used the most. I don't want to have to keep updating my sig, so there you go. SDL has original engine and head, and I believe had a new transmission sometime ago. SD has (cough)(cough)(a-Hem) WELL IT IS A 350 WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? Anyway 170K miles on the updated engine.

No pictures yet, the wagon is Pale Ivory with Palomino interior. It has the roof rack W/two cross bars, no third seat. Runs and drives like new Has small scratch down the left side like someone rubbed a gate post leaving the back yard Needs that fixed and a good detailing as the interior is Palomino "pink" from sun damage. As with any car this age, small things need attention as it sat for a long time not used, I'm supprised it runs and drives as well as it does considering that.
I've GOT to learn to use my new digital camera and show ya'll some pictures Jerry

These cars continue to impress. The mechanic who services all 6 of my company vans, also helps me out with the SDL, when th ings get too sticky for me.
He routinely comments about how well engineered and well made these German cars are. Even my friends, who were skeptical at first are starting to realize why I wanted an older, diesel Mercedes. Have a wonderful weekend.

My '85 300D turbo has almost 220K miles, rebuilt trans at 108K. The alternator, water pump, a/c compressor where replaced over time. Still has original vacuum pump, IP and starter as well as timing chain. Clear coat almost gone from hood. Seat springs busted, upholstery good. Almost all trim has had to be re-attached inside and out. Most weather stripping dried out and cracked. New windshield rubber. Most all switches, relays and actuators replaced. The engine makes a clicking sound that I still don't know where its coming from. I've checked everything that can be checked short of replacing the suspect components (too many and to much $$$ to do it). It runs good enough so I don't care anymore.
