Mercedes c240 with 70K what needs to be done?

[ryland]

So I'm thinking about buying a 04 Mercedes c240 with 70k and I need to know what needs to have been done at this point or by 100k. I'm thinking about puting all these things in the offer:

Change oil
Flush power steering
Flush brake fluid
Flush coolant
Change ATF and filter
Change spark plugs

The breaks are pretty new so the brake fluid may have been done and but it would be nice to know that all this was done so I dont have to go thrugh and do it all. What do you guys think?

One school of thought is to change all fluids and filters shortly after purchase, unless you are reasonably assured that some of the maintenance items have been done recently. This gives you a starting point for future maintenance.

You're on the right track. I would include the following:

- differential fluid
- fuel filter
- ps filter
- cabin filter

Yeah, if you don't have records of the necessary services having been done, assume they haven't been. It's a lot safer that way.
