2002 C240
Just bought 2002 c240 with 25k miles!!
Hey Guys-
I just picked up a smokin deal on a 2002 c240 with 24900 miles on....practically BRAND NEW. Bought it off some old lady who obviously never drove it. 13k!!!
Anyways....it has upgraded 18" AMG rims....and thats it. Id like to get exhaust and any other mods you might recommend.
Input appreciated!

Welcome - I'm not going to suggest mods - If you search the many threads you will find an immense number of options.
I'm a little suspicious of little old lady's that fit AMG wheels. It does not compute.

Welcome 
As previously mentioned this is an old version and has been around a while. Most, if not all of your questions have already been asked and answered. Happy searching.

white and whiter
at least trade the stock type-III for the CLK type-IV instead of the C32 type-IV. 
and here's what you can do to C240 https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...n-56k-ftl.html

Congrats on the car but just remember...There is more to a pre-owned car than miles. Sometimes a lack of driving the car has negative consequences. Hoses, belts and other parts still get old sitting in the garage. Lubrication in important and fluids, belts and other maintenance items need to be changed on an annual basis and not just based on miles. Make sure these were done over the 7-8 years the car sat in the driveway.

LOL, hey n00b, chill.
practically brand new is a car that's has about 2-3k miles, not a car that's 8 years old and has 25k miles.

p.s. post some pics.

Wow you gotta love a newbie who comes in and already starts running his mouth to people who have been on this site longer. Just because you overpaid for an almost 8 year old Mercedes doesnt give you bragging rights. If you would have paid 15k then you should have bought a newer one. Just my 2 cents.
