I would believe that actually.....
My uncle worked in the government of a Balkan country and he was given a mercedes 300D and a chauffeur for many many years.....before he retired and settled here in the states.
After traveling all over Europe and the balkans (famous for its BAD roads), the only thing the car ever needed was shocks and oil changes.....
When I asked my uncle if he remembered how many miles the car had, he couldnt remember how many miles, but said it have over 1.2 million kilometeres.....thats pretty close to a million miles...
Unbelievable story.......
On a side note, when my uncle saw the 84 300SD I had, he heard the engine and was so happy to hear that "famous sound", which he described as "kurr ka kurr ka kurr" - He said it reminded him of the gold old days......
Anyway, Cheers.
Tom
