My daughter told me that I have a package from MBUSA. It was the high mielage award (91-300E) that I requested last year Nov-2004. If you were told they are in the mail, You will get it soon.

Jack

I applied for mine around the same time. Thanks for the notice!

Where do you apply for one?

There is a PDF form on the MBUSA web site, but I belive it has to be submitted to MBUSA with the signature of a dealership representative.

Thanks MTI!!!

The dealership is to "verify" the mileage. Most also have the form on file, as well.

There is supposed to a special deal if you're the original owner and logged all the km's yourself. Anyone know what it is?

I've never heard of such an offer for original owners. The only other awards I have heard of are the lapel pins/certificates at the 500KM and 1M KM levels. Also, if your car is over 20 years old, for 100 Euros, the Classic Center will sell you a presentation folder with copies of the original documents and the entry in the Mercedes factory order book for the chassis.

I got the Badge, Lapel pin, a letter and a 'diploma' in German for 250k km

The only refererence I have is the documentation from the origial delivery of my car. It has a little brochure about the mileage awards, and says "Original owners that achive the mileage award recieve a special award."

And that's all it says. No one seems to have a clue, but when I clock 250K in the C230, I'll be doing my best to find out what they meant. I still have the brochure, and I'll be expecting something "special."

You can get the Birth Certificate for any car regardless of age. Very nice item to have.

MBUSA FedEx'd the package and it arrived yesterday.

That's NICE. Now I've got to get off my butt & apply for mine.

O Yeah, rocking the 190E I see!

Mrs. MTI is the original owner and it turns 20 years old next month.

Is it silvery or gold? Mine is gold and I was disappointed as my car is chrome (as it should be!) Mother always said not to mix gold and silver.
