My engine is in the effected balance shaft issue. What now?
I have a 2007 C280 and I just recently hit 90k miles. I love my car, but since finding out about this potentially costly repair, should I sell it?
30 402017 < my engine serial number
Is there a way to avoid this before it happens without spending 4k.

How are you going to sell it with this issue? Who is going to buy it, unless you will not disclose it and will find someone like yourself, who did not do their homework prior to purchasing?

In your original post, you state:
"I have a 2007 C280 and I just recently hit 90k miles. I love my car, but since finding out about this potentially costly repair, should I sell it?
In your above comments, you mention: "Someone sold it to me with this “issue”
So if you knew about it when purchasing the car, WHY did you buy it?

I just read your posts again and am somewhat confused.

Would YOU buy a used car, if a seller would disclose to you that there is a potential issue which could possibly cost 4k to repair? I think not.
Unless of course you would get the car dirt cheap. Trading it in would most likely be your best option, as the car dealers don't care about selling a lemon to someone else, or putting it up for auction.
