2015 Mercedes C400

And get a C450 or C43 if you like the car but don’t want as many issues?
Update to my own response. I came from Saabs before Mercedes and actually sold my C400 and got back into a 9-5 Aero wagon. Do I miss the Mercedes? Sure. But I feel at home in the Saab and pocketed a ton of money. My Saab is now stage 3 (and nowhere as fast as the Mercedes), but still puts a smile on my face every day. A used engine costs about as much as a set of factory axles on the W205 😅

Hey man, that's all that matters.
I still miss my first Benz over the de30la.... May have way less power but that rwd dog shift manual was everything to me(haha), so I get it.
