Need help buying a 2015 C300
Hey everyone used to own a 2002 clk55 but been gone from Benz for a while trying to get back.
Anyways, I’m looking to get a 2015-2016 C300 but I’m so confused on the packages and options. For example which ones have the amg wheels and which ones are sport package. Also, premium package features, led headlight, they just seem so scattered around. Some have it and some don’t, and it doesn’t really say what specific feature each vehicle has. So, basically need some help. One thing I know is the base package wheels and I don’t like those. I do want sport package for sure and led headlamps, anything such as navi are extras, or Lane assist and such would be nice but not necessary.

Buy a certified pre-owned. Most of them have LED lights. The sports package has the AMG wheels, which are 19in, however the run flats make for loud thuds when going over minor bumps. Also look for a late build (april 2015 or higher) if you're going to get a 2015. Otherwise opt for a 2016, although I don't know if the lease for those are up yet. The early build 2015s have lots of issues, ranging from wrist pin defects- which cause engine rattling noise, to leaking / bleeding seats; both of which my car had to deal with. Luckily, all of it was covered by warranty, but it was a headache bringing it back to the dealer over and over again. Good luck!

sooo...you want to get premium package, multimedia package, LED headlamps, and sport package. Wheels vary even in sport models so just look for what you like....good luck in your search!

I see, so when you guys say sport package do you mean the amg line or is there a different sport package option cuz even on the mb site there is no such thing. Unfortunately, in my area most of them are base with no led headlamps. I found few with the amg upgrades but again don’t know if that’s considered sports package.
Ill defientelt look look out for this issues, I’ll look for later 2015 if anything thanks.
