im a new owner of 99 c230 as the odo clock at 710xx. i had some service record from the previous owner, indicating its recent replacement on vbelt, new charger.. as far of owning it, i've had misfiring issue which solved after coil packs and plugs replacement. im very clueless with benzes while im hoping to take the right step as far maintaining it with a budget. i really want to ask what kind of service is needed for 70k?
any advises is greatly appreciated

You can "maintain your car on a budget" if you are the least bit mechanically inclined to do your own oil changes periodically and perhaps do a fuel filter at 70,000 miles, which, again you can do yourself with a few basic tools. I have photos of all this to share with members if you care to see a step-by-step process. My car isn't a '99, but I would imagine the procedure is pretty much the same for an '05. Hope this helps you out.
