High milage badge?

Has any one here sent in for a high milage badge and if so how long did it take? I sent in for one on July 30 and still have not received anything.

I got two when I still had my 240D. It took a while but I don't recall it being over a month.

There's a form you download (someone has a link handy I'm sure) and take to the dealer to have verified and signed. The mileage cutoffs are 250,000 km, 500,000 km, 1,000,000 km, and 1,000,000 miles.

Mine took a couple months because the bonehead at the dealership didn't want to do it, apparently didn't know how, so I asked the general manager to do it. That got it done within the hour.

I went up to him and asked him if he had any influence in the dealership, and asked him if he knew anyone who knew how to do this....

I remember mine only taking a few weeks from submission to actually receiving it. All I had to do was have my salesman at the dealer sign the form and that was all. (He knew from previous discussions that I had already made the mileage mark so he didn't have to walk outside to confirm it )

Just do like everyone else and blame the economy (Although there might actually be some truth to that.)

I sent for one in late July 2009 also, and had the dealer, Silver Star Mercedes Benz in Thousand Oaks, CA sign off and I mailed in the application myself and saved a copy.


I haven't received anything either, 8,000+ miles later. Still waiting.


There have been a lot of reports I have heard that the build quality of the high mileage badges now, are a lot worse.


Talk about irony.

I got mine in a few weeks. I don't think it was over six weeks.
