C400 Issues and solutions

I’ve had some of these issues, some I’ve fixed, some will be fixed this upcoming spring. I did my research on the common issues so none of mine “surprised” me. I also got a good deal on mine. It’s a lot of car for $23k and is 80% of a C43 AMG which is twice as expensive. I’ve had my car 25k miles and haven’t had as many problems as you though...why not just sell it? 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 😅
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.
