OK so you live in Vermont, so does that mean you won't be upgrading your wheels due to extreme weather? :(
- speed_d0
got to keep it simple on the wheels. It would be worth upgrading for the 3 weeks of summer ;)
- bummer man. they handle so much better with low prosHijoDMaite
- fooler0
since it's a 4matic and he lives in Vermont the only upgrade wheels I'd recommend is black steelies with snow tires.

If need to, just upgrade your break lines that should cost about 200 or 300 bucks. You will save money in the long run on brakes!

Three words for you:
AMG or OEM-PLUS!!!

I got a hook up on HID upgrades too. Your car should be all set just plug and play.

oh yeah and find a good forum to frequent, there is a bunch. Find one that has a good segment of the users in your area.

Nice car, my uncle has one but they can be pricey if things go wrong. Needs a larg wallet for backup.
- speed_d0
thanks for the help guys...hope the car is as solid as I think it is.

I would not do it unless you have at least $5 grand a year to drop in maintenance. Speaking from experience. Owned a C240 kompressor, bought it a year old. Biggest lemon I ever bought. $550 to change the battery because the fender has to be pulled off.
I'd go new.
