What needs changing after nine years and 70k miles.
- all fluids, including flushing brake system.
- ck belts and replace as needed
- plugs and wires, distributor?
- fuel filter
- inspect and replace engine mounts as needed
- suspension, inspect and replace all worn parts - bushings and ball joints most likely
- maf ?
- cabin filter too!
- pop the cover of the monwiper ad hit it with some white lithium grease
- check the date on the battery
- CPS - crank position sensor (** a must - u may ended up being stranded)
Can you guys add to the above? This noob needs some help...

CPS - crank position sensor.Trust me , its easier to change on your terms than on the cars terms.Was the harmonic balancer changed (factory re-call work) ? Tranny flush ?Also , I would pop the cover of the monowiper ad hit it with some white lithium grease and change!You might want to check the date on the battery too - I had mine for 8 years.

Flex discs.
Do 202's need their steering bolts retorqued every 4 years/50K? If so, that's a 90 second job. It's regularly overlooked by the W208 crowd.
The wheel bearings should be repacked.
I'd plan on changing all the coolant hoses every 10 years.

I know you are new to C43 so I just tjhought id let you know that c32 brakes work on a c43 without any mods and I think they are less expensive, not as good as c43 brakes tho
something to consider, I personally would only do it coz the c32 calipers look better
