Today, as I headed into the city, my odo rolled over the 160,000km mark, meaning the end of my Signature Class warranty coverage.

I am on my own!!

90,000 km's until the first badge, and 340,000 until the second.

Any guesses on what a 17 year old (or so) C230 with 500K will be worth in 2015? $1500? Yeah, that sounds high to me too.

Good thing the 'ol gal is paid for since I'm footing the repair bills now...:p

Good luck. How long are you going to keep her?

Until it's old and dead. This is my first (and probably last) new MB. I have bought all my others used, and enjoyed having the original owner eat the big depreciation bill. I am the one eating it on the C230, and will have to drive it for some years yet before I feel I've "got my money's worth" out of it.

With the exception of troublesome cars, I have rarely sold my previous MB's before 300-400K.
