Am in need of a vehicle I've searched for an affordable car, I eventually saw a neat Vboot one door going for 150k. the engine and body is in perfect condition. I knw little about cars so I need your advice

is Vboot a good choice? considering cost of maintaining and fueling the vehicle I also intend to travel a lot with the vehicle if I eventually buy it. how tough is the vehicle on the rough Nigerian road ?

senator2k9:
You said u dnt knw much abt cars yet how come u knw d engine is good. Bro if u dnt want to be sleeping on d road always pls dnt even attempt to buy dat car n travel with it. Like my boss GaZZUZ adviced, beta go for japanese vehicles !

What side of the car is the 1 door??

chukel:
now this is the part I don't like. U r taking what gazzuz said out of context and misinterpreting it. Who said benz is not reliable. Y would he sleep on the road when he travels with it. My family house has benz 230E(flat boot), 300E(vboot) and a c class. They are so reliable that anytime u call on them they answer. It all depends on maintenance culture. U can have a toyota and still sleep on the road when u travel.

chukel:
I never insulted u, but u have rushed to call me a slow poke. Between the 2 of us I think u kn who the slow poke is. Ignorance is bad. I wonder how much u think those cars go for as Nigerian used.

soyemi:
I drive a Mercedes Benz 230E v boot. I have used it for 2year now. I am not sure I want to drive another type of car. I work in Lekki and I live in ogba. I drive the car 7 days a week. It has never messed up. My job also entails short distance travelling like Akure, ife, ilorin and that is what I use. My brother, contrary to notion by Nigerians that it sucks fuel, mine and others I have seen and driven conserve fuel.

Moreover, concerning the maintenance, it is not expensive. If you live in Lagos, find your way to ojekunle street in ladipo, that is the home of Benz spare part.

Finally, get a mechanic to check the engine and transmission. If it's good. You are good to go. Good luck Bro

Frankdamaxx:


Siena, 1 door is the Nigerian way of saying coupe.

Ehimax:
Thank you all for the comment. I actually ment two doors one on each sides of the vehicle.

0rex:

Have you made your decision?
I think you can go for the benz but make sure you check the body well for rust, have a mechanic check the suspension system, transmission & engine.
DO NOT expect the fuel economy of a toyota especially if it isn't having a 4-cylinder engine or a perfectly swapped w202 engine.

Ehimax:


its a 4 plug engine, is this equivalent to 4 cylinder engine?

Ehimax:


I had a friend of mine who followed me the day I went to check the vehicle, he started the engine turtled it and checked the emission and some other stuff and he certified it was okay (his not a mechanic but knw much abt cars). as for the body its quite neat and no rust.

pautex:

0rex:
