1999 S320 LWB - Issues with old rubber parts ??

I considering buying a rather nice 1999 S320 LWB. It has just less than 25,000 miles on it and is 18 years old. It was always garaged when not driven.

It has the original tires (Michelin), and probably original everything else. To make is safe for high speed, long road trips, it should have new tires, likely a new serpentine belt, and new radiator hoses.


What else would be important to renew on an original, 18yo car like this?


So far I'm thinking of Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires at Walmart for ~$500 installed. Does anyone have experience with those tires, or have a suggestion?


What other potential problem might I encounter with this car?
