Is 60,000 miles a lot for a Mercedes Benz C240?

[ChuckV]

My mom has a Mercedes Benz C240 (I am not sure what year it is but the latest it can be is 2002) and she told me that I can have it when I get my license. The car has almost 60,000 because we travel about 100 miles to the Jersey Shore about 10 times a year. I get my license in about 2 and a half years. I want to know if the car will last until I get my license and how many miles will it be until the car will start to undriveable (is that a word?)

Well, you'd know this better than I would since it's your family's car, but in general that particular Mercedes model is pretty unreliable. Most people who got that car leased it for a few years and maybe put like that many miles on it before trading it in, so I'd assume that after like 75000 miles a lot of little things might start to go wrong here and there. But hey, it's a Mercedes, what better can you do for a 1st car?
