Which year?
Is there any difference which makes one model year better than the other? 2017, 2018, or 2019 C300 4 Matic sedan.
Thanks for any aasasistance as I look for a car

My research pointed me to the 2018. It is the last year before the facelift and it has the 9 speed transmission. 2015-2017 have the 7 speed and I've read a lot of complaints for that transmission. The 2019 had the facelift and has a new motor with a little more horsepower and the same torque but peak torque is now at a higher RPM. I prefer peak torque at a lower RPM. The car I bought has everything I wanted such as apple car play, hands free access, and LED headlights which are now standard for 2019+. And, it didn't have the one thing I didn't want which is the panoramic sunroof. I've been very happy with my purchase so far. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and they gave the 2018 a top rating for reliability.

2015 for me. I know its below your range but I have zero complaints about my car. But the newer the better i mean if i had the chance to choose between 2015 and 2019 i would choose the newer as long as the 2019 is also an AMG line.

I would try to get one that still has factory warranty. Worst case scenario, dealer fixes anything major that goes wrong, and you sell it after warranty expires. Best case, you can get cosmetic stuff replaced by the dealer.

since we are already 2022 i would opt for a 2020.
i have a 2018 and i have to say i was happy to have the 2 year warranty!
the back camera from the 360° camera had to be replaced and the front bumper sensors + cable tree. happy i didn't have to pay for those.
other then that the engine and 9g are amazing and very solid
