Refinished wheels
I like the look of the stock MB wheels on my used but newly-purchased W210 but the wheels were in bad shape.
StraightWheels of Schertz, Texas, refinished them for $150 each to include dismount of old tire, refinish/repair, mount new tire, and balance.
Front suspension work finished, rear suspension work finished, motor mounts replaced, transmission electrical through-plug replaced, oil and all filters replaced, now on to an intermittent instrument cluster light bulb and some minor body work.
Car is coming along nicely....

Congrats on your 'new' car ...
Unless you have accurate service records to prove otherwise, I would suggest that you flush the brake system and flush the coolant system. You may have to do a little research on your brakes since AMG packages usually have upgraded brakes.

Good advice and I'm going to take it. I only have service records for the two years before I bought it for this particular car. I was willing to take a chance based upon my examination of the car and the price at which I could purchase it. Time for me to check out brake flush and radiator flush!
Thanks!
