Good price for 2015 c300 4matic Sport with options -$32,950
I'm about to purchase a 2015 C300 4matic Sport from a MBUSA dealer in cali. it has just under 29k miles, it was a loaner service car.

I negotiated a price of $32,950 and curious as if you guys think this is a solid buy. It is not a CPO.

But that's a risk with any used car that requires premium fuel.

My major concern there would be that it never ran premium fuel (which the 2015 C300 requires). I had 3 or 4 C300 W205 loaner cars and they all came with about 1/4 tank full of low octane fuel. I could feel them perk up when I got 93 in them. Other than that it's the dealer maintaining the vehicle.

It will retard the timing but I'm not sure how much damage could be done. I've seen multiple opinions on that. It's one of those Internet topics people will endlessly debate, lol. The W205s loaners I drove would ping like crazy until I refueled them. The owner's manual reads like the car will explode if you fill it with low octane fuel. I'm mindful I'm driving someone's future car.
Some cars will even adjust power up if you use higher than recommended. I'm not sure if we are so lucky as to have that adaption programmed in our cars. It would be nice as only 93 octane is available where I live.
I'm not sure if the OP is looking at the coup (considering pano roof), which would be a W204 or a w205 sedan. It seems fishy the car would have been a loaner if it was a coup with that mileage and has those options. I'd make sure to get a vehicle history report.

Thanks for the reply. I actually passed on the vehicle because of information that was given to me about if the car was manufactured before April 2015 having serious problems with the engine wrist pins.
