All these high mileage cars and claims can be called "documented" miles
for the most part.  Any country which runs Mercyless Benz diesels as
taxi's has more than a few which reached 3 or more million miles years
ago, and are still on the road.  Some of them have tires with 750k +
miles on them, re-skin and back on the road.  

Highest miles I personally saw and verified was a lowly 190D in
Montevideo, 1.5 million miles on the original engine, new heads somewhere
along the line.


BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
