I'm sure you have vast experience on cars.
I'd advice you buy a non 4matic C300 and kindly gave a certified mechanic inspect the car for you properly.

I prefer the Rwd Benz Sedan against the 4matic.
Reasons
1. Better Mpg
2. No worries of a damaged drive shaft (4matic) which is expensive to fix.
3. They are fun to drive .
4. The 4matic has no use in Nigeria. 
We have no snow. And you can't even take it off road because the average Nigerian road that requires awd will ruin the whole undercarriage of a sedan . so you won't even drive a Awd sedan with low ground clearance on such road. 
The only advantage is if you live in an area with lots of sand like around the beach or where you have snow.
Aside that awd in sedans in *Nigeria* is a total waste
But it increases traction tho

Do NOT get a 4Matic.
Parts are more expensive and the transmission is unreliable

The 4matic has uses in Nigeria.
1:For better traction in sharp bends(saved my life once)
2:during rain too or on wet roads,for eg,if U don booze finish enter Kubwa expressway during or immediately after rain.

Come to think of it.
Let me use Toyota as an example.
All their sedans (US Market. I'm talking about Toyota not it's Lexus variant)
Their sedans are only available in Fwd.
Avalon
Camry
Corolla
Yaris.
Are you saying you might kill yourself while driving them in the rain?.
Lol.


A Fwd or Rwd with a good vsc system is good for everyday driving unless you're going to a different terrain .
If you need awd to drive in the rain or wet roads , I'm sorry you need to learn how to drive .

Truth is any car can loose traction.
Even the Awd Nissan Gtr looses traction and gets crashed by idiot.
Driving is not all about being able to Accelerate and Brake.

You are my friend. And I'm not referring to you as an idiot.
I was just saying.
There are some rich people who have no skills but keep crashing super cars everyday . They are the idiots .

We are here to learn from each other.
