mckeown Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hello, although new to this site I am not new to 300C ownership having recently sold mine (and regretted ever since) after 4 years. It was a 2008 CRD with 67k miles. I'm now looking to get another and one has popped up that looks the dogs dooda's with body kit, 20" wheels etc but it has done 150K miles. Ironically its more than i asked for when i sold mine. Could it be OK or is it likely to be a money pit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownSugar Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I've been told by many mechanics that the Merc CRD engine is an engineering master piece and with regular oil changes it should be good for at least 300,000 miles. We'll see. My car is a 2008 SRT Design and had 110,000 on the clock when I bought it two years ago, it's up to 130,000 now. Touch wood... I've had no problem with the engine, just issues with front suspension knocks and annoying electrical problems. So, I would say 150k on the engine is nothing to worry about, but check all the electrics. As for the suspension... nothing you can do other than replace parts as they wear. it's only money mate. Go on... buy the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
