List of services my car needs - what about yours?

Here is a list of services I want to do to my car over the next 2-5 weeks. Some are much more important than others... wondering which I should do first...

1- I know, I need to get new front tires and an alignment, but I think it may need more. I have some "slack" in the steering and it pulls to the right pretty badly. I also have heavy wear on the inside of the LF tire, so this needs to be done ASAP. I never drive this car except on city roads at speeds 35 mph or less, so no danger of blowout.

The rest of these are not major, but needs done... not sure what order though.

* Transmission fluid and filter... fluid is full and looks clean, but since I dont know when it was last changed, I want to do it for peace of mind.

* Coolant - I have the awful green stuff in there, so I want this out.

* exhaust system - I have a slight exhaust leak toward the back, but it must be very minor, as I NEVER get any exhaust fumes in the car, but I think this might be a #2 thing to do.

Other than those mentioned, my '88 300SEL is in perfect working order now that I have by brakes back in perfect working order.

What about yours? Have a specific to-do list of things you want to do within the next 2-6 weeks?

I think you've got it in the right order of importance.

Today I get to do an entire brake job on my W124... fun fun!
