W124 E300D Mileage

[davidbilyk]

What kind of mileage could you expect one of these to do?

There was one local to me with 360k on it. That's quite a good mileage

I think you're limited only by how well you maintain the car and by how well you keep rust at bay

Thanks Nick,

I have seen one with 441K on it but had a rebuilt Eng/Trans 130k ago. Was thinking about getting it for a daily run-around, plus it has parts I could swap onto my E280....

How reliable is the 300D engine?

Well I've just bought it, it is Blue black, some horrid vinyl looking stuff on the seats but hey

Now for the good bit, £200 worth of spares, W210 avantgarde wheels, half decent tyres. Genuine standard fit electric rear blind!!!!

Should be picking it up sunday!!!

ask Trapperjohn about his 194K mile machine. i drove it part way to torquay, smooth and comfy. Mind you you are not going to break any speed records.
