Code 677 "Avantguard/Standard Suspension"
I'm as confused as ever by Mercedes terminology. I looked up a 2014 C300 204.080 VIN using the decoder (https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check...GF8AB4EG179501) which seems to be the so-called luxury sedan. For instance, one of the codes listed is for 17" double-spoke wheels.
However, further down in the list of codes I see 677 "Avantguard/Standard Suspension". Does the word "Avantguard" always mean the "sport suspension" or is there an "Avantguard" which is actually the "standard/luxury suspension"? As best I can tell there were only two suspension tunes, "sport" and "not sport" and I'm trying to figure out which this car was.

Cool, thanks, that seems to make sense with everything I'm seeing. Many threads over on the W212 forum also trying to figure out which suspensions are which and how you tell :-)
