I'd guess new tires are next.
Rubber bushings are not cheap on that car. I spent about 1k redoing the rear, and another 1k redoing the front. No labor costs included, just parts.


25 years fo barely moving, you will be replacing all of that and more. You will drop a grand just on flushing fluids, tune up, and tires.

The 300e is a fantastic car, but in the end, it is still a $1500 25 year old car.
