@Gransport my point was that the engine falls within the range where there were bad balance shafts. The failures take time to manifest. If it runs well then it is likely OK for now but one should be aware that the possibility exists that it can go bad given the range of engines with the issue. That is all.

I would be willing to take the vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of West Palm Beach (I have no affiliation there) and having it gone through at buyers expense. If this vehicle is affected by the balance shaft issue not only would I pay for the inspection but I would cancel the sale.
@RichBenzer - Nailed it, buddy! Nice car, roll dice, hope it doesn't crater in 1,000 miles. I've seen many like this, and just chuckle and walk away. GLWA!
The balance shaft issue can be determined as follows: Mercedes-Benz, with the improved parts, has engine serial numbers that are higher than M272 Engine Serial No. 2729..30 468993. This vehicle has engine 272964 S/N 30 425118 which falls within the range of engines having the bad balance shaft (the timing chain-driven gear on it wears down). Whether a CEL is showing now or not does not indicate that the engine could have this problem tomorrow or two years from now. Some engines can go a lot of miles without showing the issue. When it does appear you will see faults showing cam timing issues which relate to the timing chain slipping or jumping timing and the engine will have serious problems at that point. I have looked at several beautiful cars that are basically worth maybe $1k or less since a replacement engine will be necessary, or to replace the balance shaft (not a cheap fix) if the rest of the engine is still intact. I bought a ML350 with a munched engine because of this and parted it out. I have an 07E350 right now I am working on due to another issue, but it has an engine with S/N 506393 and should be good with that issue.
For those of you concerned with transporting the vehicle just know it would be sold with a Florida temporary tag.
@Dolsey01 We have never had a CEL reflecting the fault codes 1200 and 1208 which specifies the balance shaft repair required for vehicles exhibiting these codes. If the faults were present the CEL would appear immediately. Therefore no repair necessary as per bulletin. Happy Bidding
@Gransport Since you have been maintaing this vehicle, and most likely have access to a VMI report, do you have any information about the balance shaft on this engine since the serial is 425118 and below the 468993 unaffected range?

Good evening folks. I wanted to be clear that this is a 1 owner car. It was purchased new and then bought off lease by the original lessee. I have had the pleasure of maintaining this vehicle over the past 11yrs for the original owner who never speared any expense in maintaining the vehicle and only parted ways after taking delivery of a brand new Mercedes-Benz.

Many of those around but this one seems well cared and everything on it looks correct . In a sea of silvers , blacks and whites this is special . i believe the color of it should be the selling point . Good luck to all.
