Cool! But if you want to increase the beauty of the car, just get reflector (yahoo-yahoo) headlamps and smoked or reflector tail and turn signal lamps + the Mercedes-benz front grille with the big benz logo. cool That's all.

Everything should not be more than 25-30k.
The headlamp assembly is the most expensive component.
I bought the smoked tail lights & front turn signals for a benz 200 around #3,500 or so.

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 !

senator2k9:
what is this one saying? Do u read before commenting at all? A benz of 150,000? How much is bajaj motor cycle? Did ur family buy their benz at 150'k? Dat must be a moving casket.

How many times have you seen a merc sleep on the road no matter how rickety the car is? the only reason i will consider a japanes car is because it feels lighter to drive and an ideal choice for city runs.

its not jerking at all am actually really impressed with the performance. the only things I've spent on is just cosmetics and I was told to double the gasket which I'll do soon its abt 10k to do that

I don't think doubling the gasket with workmanship should cost you half that amount + if the engine is not giving any problems please just leave it alone.
Beware of those mechanics' baseless recommendations. They are most times just ways to milk us. cheesy

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.

Everything.

The tail lights is not a complete assembly. It's designed such that you can replace only the cover.
The turn signals however is a pair of complete units.

cheesy I was surprised it was that cheap too ( I didn't show it sha grin ).
