    Car was already cleaned and washed before we got it. They also installed new fuel lines and fuel pump but they still did not get it running.

      There was a 1988 W124 200D 4 speed manual that was used as a taxi for 13 years in Porto, Portugal, that reached 1,965,000 kms. So much so that Mercedes bought it from the owner in 2006 for €5000 to put it in the Mercedes museum in Stuttgard. Just think about it for a moment: 1,965,000 kms in 13 years is an average of more than 151,000kms a year!
