The '60 - 180b has about 86000 and spends most of its time resting in the shed , the 65 - 200D has 296000 miles and the floor is rusting out of it , and the '82 - 300D has 350000 and is near its use by date , not the engine , thats great , but the rest of the car is about worn out.
Must be time to get the 180b back into service.

Hit 200,000 with my 306D from 1975 last summer.

The 220D from 1973's clock only goes up to 99,999, it's done that at least once.


Edit: Them figures be in Kilometers

I have approx. 73,000 miles on a 1969 230... I hope I'm still with it when it gets up to 200,000 and more


* Note: After reading some of the other posts, I can't remember if the odometer only goes up to 99,999, so I couldn't really give an accurate number. It could even be 173,000 miles, or 273,000. (Let's hope not, I don't want it dying on me)

72 220D: At least 150,000, but I screwed up the wheels on the odometer when I fixed it, so it only read 25,000. May not get many more, as it isn't running at the moment.

88 300TE: 209,000. Needs an oil change.

87 300D turbo: 182,000. Needs an oil change.

72 280 SE 4.5: 173,000, daily driver. Not accruate, odometer not working for at least a couple years before I bought it.
