"From a mercedes main dealer with merc warranty OK! but if not be prepared for some big bills, as it is out of manufacturers warranty."
What makes you write such a statement?
The only big issue with this engine has been (piezo-type) injectors, and MB quickly admitted the issue and rolled-out a long term recall/fix (new solenoid injectors <X4> + control module + associated parts). They are STILL carrying this out for any cars that got missed.
The W204 C Class is a good car. The only things I'd be looking for are FULL MB service history for the first 3years of the car at least, and after that main dealer OR a decent MB independent service history. Also check the gearbox fluid has been changed at the recomended 40K interval, if you buy an automatic.
