Good Bye C300

The day came to say goodbye to my 2013 C300 4Matic. Car was sold last week and picked up earlier today. Loved the car, no complaints but looking to get back in a sports car soon (either a Cayman S or Jaguar F-Type S) so the Benz had to go. Below are a few highlights of my ownership experience:
Bought CPO May 2014. Owned for 3.5 years
60k miles put in by me. 69k when sold
No extra expenses besides scheduled maintenance
No issues besides chain tensioner replaced for engine rattle on start up under warranty at 48k miles
Tires lasted ~55k miles
The car still drives like new. No rattles or squeaks. Also M276 engine never gave me any issues besides engine rattle mentioned above so it appears to be solid for the long run. Even though W204 model has been out for almost 10 years I still think it is one of the best looking sedans. It was my first MB car and would definitely considering buying another one again.

Thanks to everyone on the forum. I learned a lot about this car and the MB brand on this forum. I will stop by from time to time and catch up on threads from other fellow W204 owners.

Lol you beat me to it.. I was going to ask the same question. I usually sell my cars around 65k or 70k miles.... Though I am currently only at 28k miles on a 2014 c300 but just kinda curious. Thanks in advance
