This is the first time I’ve started it after a colder rain. Usually kept in a parking garage but last night it was high 50s and raining. Does this sound bad?? What do you guys think

Hello,
I’m planning to buy my first Mercedes soon, but I can’t decide which model to go for. I’m looking at older models and choosing between the W204, W211, and W212.
As for the engine, considering my driving habits, I think a petrol engine would be the better choice.
I drive relatively little each year, around 8,000 km, with approximately 40% city driving and the rest on the highway.
My initial budget is €8,000, but I’ve set aside some extra money for maintenance. By the way, I’m located in Europe, so servicing and repairs are more affordable here.
So, what would you recommend in terms of model and engine choice?
My car has a knocking noise that's present from cold start right through to fully warmed up. The volume isn't constant; it randomly gets louder and quieter. There's also a strong smell coming from the exhaust. When revving there's very little smoke, just a faint white haze. Any ideas what could be causing this?
200k miles
2009 MB c350. No start no crank.
No communication with ME or Transmission control module.
Car randomly died on the road on my way home from work. For about a week it would start after cooling down, after about a week it completely stopped turning over.
I check all fuses, replaced the front SAM, replaced the 3 CAN BUS blocks on the drivers side (there was corrosion). I also sprayed the pins with Electronic cleaner and scrubbed with a brush. No avail.
So i replaced the 2 CAN BUS blocks on the passenger side, no avail. Dash has power and communication, CGW has communication and so does front and rear SAM. Parking indicator was also working up until today. My battery reads 12.8v. ECU powersupply reads 12.6v, 1 wire is permanent power while 2 more are ignition feed. ECU has ground at 3 wires.
I have U0155
U0100
U110B
U0100
U110B
Codes.
ESC inoperative.
No readings from anything in the engine bay.
I have 57-60 ohms resistance between each pair of wire at all 5 CAN BUS blocks inside the car.
I do not know what to do anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated.
My scanner is an ANCEL600BT
Hey guys, is it normal for the rear to be this much lower than the front? Sorry if it's a bad picture but it's the best i've got at the moment. All help is appreciated!
Weiß zufällig jemand ob man die motorölwanne weg bauen kann ohne Motor weg zu bauen btw die Achse zu lösen? Ich verliere seid dem 1.10 massiv an öl und dies kam plötzlich übernacht, ich vermute es ist die ölwannen Dichtung aber ich bin mir da unsicher vielleicht weiß jemand von euch etwas. Es handelt sich um den c180cdi blueefficiency Facelift w204 von 2011.
im thinking of doing a blow off valve on my c200, any opinions or suggestions before i do it? how hard is it to do and how expensive?
