Noob question about a C350
I'm sorry for the dumb question. I am looking for a newer 300 or 350, my question is when did they begin making the C350 a 4matic?
I just want to get all my facts straight on both the 300 and 350. Looking for either one with low miles but it needs to be 4matic. All I have ever owned are the AMG's so these are fairly new to me and I just began my research. I have searched but it seems like not till 2012 is when the 350 had AWD. Again, sorry if this is incorrect.
Also, this topic I am sure has been brought up as well, would you purchase and 300 or 350? Are there major differences?
Thanks guys.

The US does not have the C350 4matic, but Canada does. Maybe that's where you saw one.
Newer as in 2013+? The 2013 C300 4matic has the same engine as the 2012+ C350, but a detuned one. Getting an ECU tune would yield the same results as a tuned C350. Sounds like a good deal to me.
If it has to be a 4matic, without a doubt, get a 2013 C300 4matic and tune it if you want C350 power.
