203,000 km on my 1979 230G
still running strong !

will probably keep the C-SportCoupé beyond 10-15 years with low mileage.
The C-SportSedan will probably keep til it dies, and replace with a higher end model or AMG sedan.

So far my Jan 02 C240 has around 59K...only probs so far has been a sunroof frame issue, felt weatherstrip around the drivers side I plan to keep it for at least the duration of the loan plus a couple yrs.

Might get passed on to the parents, but will remain in the family as im thinking of the Saturn skyroadster.

I'm at ~18,750 miles.

My car is a 2004.5 (w/ refresh, but no amg body kit)

I'm keeping this baby as long as it takes me to get it as unique as I intend. If that's 7-10 years, so be it. In the meantime, I definitely intend to get a daily driver and turn this into something special...whether that happens all depends on what's in the cards for me (as far as the future is concerned).

Mileage check in thread...

I just bought a c240, but I wanted to see what your mileages are and what problems you've had. Can you please list current mileage and problems you've encountered and fixed during that time period.

TIA!

Edit: Please include year and model as well...

I have a 2003 C240 w/ 29,000 miles. The electronic rear sunshade had a few problems working and the door handle popped off, awkwardly enough, but other than that, no problems at all.

42,000km (about 26,000 miles).

Auto transmission fluid leaked at 1,000km when brand new - resolved.
Folding exterior mirror could not fold at 10,000km - resolved.
Replaced AC evaporator coil at 41,000km.
After replacement of evaporator coil driver's side vents blow hot air instead of cold air - bringing in next few days.
Very noisy AC compressor since brand new but refused to be acknowledge by dealer.
Knocking sound from undercarriage when turning steering wheel while reversing since brand new.
Squeaky rear suspension sound when entering/leaving car.
Jerky transmission which the dealer says is normal.

That's it! I have had a few problems with the operation of my sun-roof, but I just had to resync it and the problem was solved.
