This comment is outstanding from the others and in it lies the answer to the Op’s question.

Truly, there’s a huge difference between being knowledgeable and being intelligent.
If you search via Google to find the difference between both terms, then you’d surely know where you belong.
Smh, How exactly does that piece of information help him in making a choice, pls educate us.

By the way , a simple Google search would have told you that the three cars in question are ALL V8 Biturbo, with the underlying difference being the engine sizes.
ML63 (5.5L) ML550(4.7L).

I couldn't agree more with the bolded

My 2005 Mercedes Benz C230 has been a pain in the ass. Ride is newly imported <6months in Naija. Changed AC system thrice with no luck. Gave up on using AC.
Next Alternator Issues Popped up, my specialist says he’s fixed the issue but the light won’t go away after lot of calibration. Moving forward, ignored the lights and kept driving!
And now.... It kicks but wouldn’t start in time. The mech says It’s Cold start is malfunctioning.
I’ve decided to abandon the car for about 2 weeks now since I have others at my disposal. But I still love the Small baby with “Speed”
I need help with this boy?

Thanks to oluwaseunla who can through for me when I needed help may you find help each time you need it.

My car was overhauled again by a competent engineer with over 20years experience in car conversion and everything is running smooth like brand new.

I'd done 1000miles already after the fix.

AC is chilling and blowing well now.

Hello guys, I have never owned a car in my life, this is actually my first attempt to purchase 1, now I discovered that my interest is always drawn to Mercedes c300, but I learned that it has issue with EIS. Please how frequent does this occur in c300, and is there any anything to be worry about in the vehicle. I'm considering the non-4matic variant

your engine oil level sensor is the likely culprit then....
If it isn't due service yet....

Sounds like your engine is shorting oil....
Make sure you check oil level everyday morning ..

Meanwhile after service when the oil is at max on the dipstick, do you have the check oil level msg on dashboard?

If it's truly 1month old, find out why seller is disposing it so soon and at a ridiculously low price. Ensure you thoroughly check all paper works, and the car to be sure you're not buying a lemon or a grey car.

Thanks for that, according to the person marketing the car, the owner upgraded to GLK, but I'm not well convinced until i see the car tomorrow, I'm also going with a mechanic to be sure of what I'm paying for.
