Had a customer in today with his 2003 300A, has 88,200 miles on her. Could this be the highest miler so far??? The owner is an investigator and travels the country. He is working in the area and it was very dirty so I can't comment on the exterior condition but the interior is holding up real well.
He says the left cylinder head was replaced early in its life for an engine miss and axles replaced for bad bearings. Other than that, minor stuff like alternator, several coils and belt tensioner. The original front brakes are only about 70% worn. Says the rears were replaced around 30k due to a defective brake pad. He says he never got more than 30k out of a set of brakes before this car.
I let him know about us and he is very interested in joining us. Says he will chime in when he able. He doesn't want put his ESP warranty in jeopard so he will wait for 100K miles to start with mods!!! At his rate, it should only be a couple more months.
