Yes or No: 250.000 miles E Class

Greets,
I am all new here, writing you and inquiriring about this: I am scheduled to buy an E Class... 2002 year (but new model of 2003 type), but, there's a big but. The car's almost 250.000 miles now...

From you experience/your friends experience, is it worth buying a 250.000 miles E Class?

I want to have the car for another 100.000 miles or so... And I have no idea whether this E with 250k miles will go for it?

Generally speaking, how many miles have you got with your E?

Qs:
1. Is this 250.000 miles E Class worth buying considering I intend to keep it for another 100.000 miles?
2. Is a 2003 E Class reasonably able to go for 350.000 miles?
3. Would you buy it if you were me?

Thanks a lot,
Cheers :)

Did anyone answer your question...I'm new here and no expert. I just don't see any replies and it looks like you posted in Feb 06 Correct?
I'm just curious how a 2001 or 2002 has 250,000 miles. Thats come to approximately 62K miles in a year which equals 10 Round trips from East Coast to West Coast....I not trying to be funny....did you mean 25K maybe?

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. That car was a taxi. So that's why it had 250k miles... it was a good car though, and I should have bought it...

Hi,

Be thankful you did not buy. There are other MB's out there. On average an auto is driven an estimated 20K miles yearly.

you should be glad that you didn't buy the car. the early 211 chassis cars are notorious for braking problems with the sensotronic braking system.......
....especially taxi's.

There is no way an E-Class would last without MAJOR repairs until 350,000 miles...
