Re: [MBZ] Highest Mileage MB You’ve Owned

M7 87 is well past 400k now.  Haven't driven it this year, need to bleed the 
brakes and change the tranny juice and filter on the off chance that will fix 
the failure to shift into first as stop signs (more likely it needs a rebuild).

88 300TE is nearly virgin at 270k, but my mom drove it minimal miles for a 
decade.

2020-09-11 Thread Meade Dillon via Mercedes
My '87 300TD (The White Whale) is coming up on 399k miles, I've put on
about 120k of those.  Going to keep her going past 400k but the rust and
water intrusion is driving me pretty crazy.  I've owned this car for about
12 years now.  Engine and transmission are very strong but she does use
about a quart of oil every 1500 miles or so.
