You all are so sweet for your feedback.
To answer your question, Manny, I have an '02 C230 Kompressor Coupe with about 62K on it. I bought it last March, with about 42k on it, and this will be the first time I have to change the brakes.
So, it is normal to have to replace my rotors, we have that covered, but is it normal to be charged almost $800? That sounds a bit steep to me. And shouldn't my MDF or MFD (what mctwin2kman called it) come on? Is this something I can do myself or is it difficult? Is there some kind of picture manual on here? I already know I need to learn how to change my own oil... someone told me that in another post.
And if I am going to attempt to do these things myself, my brakes won't fall out as I am driving or something, right? LoL.
C32AMG - why do your brakes and rotors wear so quickly?
Finally - can anyone answer the cup holder and plastic shift thingy question?
