Haakon Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yes, that's even more impressive come to think of it. It's a really early production car as well, the VIN number ends with 0000191. Registered late 1999. Still going strong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaMike Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 There's a taxi driver in my village who has had a string of Mercs. He goes to Heathrow and back at least once a day and usually sells them on when they get to around 300,000! Merc actually give you a badge when you do a million miles in a Mercedes.....he has 3!

treblet Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I was speaking to my regular taxi driver the other day about his car, he said one of the guys on the taxi rank has a skoda octavia that's done 400,000 miles and is still going... It's only 4 years old too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesU Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Dont Mercedes give you a brand new car if you reach a certain mileage without any problems? Or am i just thinking back to something thats never happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Apparently you get something from Mercedes Benz if you manage to reach 1 million miles.Not sure if it's a new car, or if you have to be the original purchaser though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
