Hi everyone,

I just bought my first benz. 2009 c350 4matic. about 90k on the odometer. Ive always been a bmw guy and have owned a few of them over the years but this time around I decided to go the benz route. So far im enjoying the much more comfortable ride.

I just ordered brand new set of rims and tires to replace the stock.
I am wondering, is there a vendor that users prefer to shop with on here for OEM and aftermarket parts?

I want to replace the front turn signals and eyebrow lights with LEDs and wouldn't mind ordering some OEM parts for basic maintenance.

Also, is there anything you guys would recommend i do maintenance wise. i Dont have any history on the car.

thank you in advance,
Paul

Welcome to MBWorld and to MB in general. w204 is a great initiation platform to the brand.


Let us know if we can help you out with any of the lighting. We have an in house test w204 so we're very familiar with the model.

Paul,
Every time I have bought a car with an unknown history I do all fluid changes. That being said I would download the mycarfax app and all you have to do is enter the license plate number and state or VIN and it should pull up any service records the car may have had. I use my app constantly and the nice thing is that if you are a DIY person you can enter your own service records into carfax. Welcome to the benz club

Thanks, I didn't know about that carfax maintenance app.

I found some interesting history on my car and was able to enter my DIY work.
