2000 e320 wagon
Hey. I've added an e class to my other rust vectors,...

So, the SOP requires that I report to the applicable forums, my neighbor having foisted yet another merc on me. The other was an '04 c230 k, which has been such a delight that it was assimilated by the kid. He lets me drive it when " there might be something wrong" so that worked out well. This one received a strutmaster replacement for the air bags, a bunch of bushings, tie rod ends, and a replacement rim that was probably pot-holed while driving around with deflated bags. That "free" merc has now assumed it's proper fiduciary role. My name is mike and I'm a station wagon addict.

Any thing that fits would be ok. Gotta c6 a6 avant as my dd, hate to park it some places with my hobie on top (it lives there), though. I've a can of flat saver for local trips but , I'm liken' this for longer jaunts. Doesn't ride quite as well as the audi w/o the air but not too bad. If this were a 212 there'd be little to choose between them. Only 243k!

Does moving/copying this thread over to 210 require a moderator?

Apparently there are no more reasonably priced rims nearby. Any clever substitutes? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm in the gorge- White Salmon. Owned a house at the north end of Long Lake in the 80s when I middle managed part of a naval architecture firm adjacent the shipyard. Your tax dollars at work.
I think I'Il stick to stock as the spare's not too bad. I regard rims as perfectly respectable yard sculpture.
