BENZ MEN ARE RESPONSIBLE

Please why do most users of the 1st generation M-class e.g ML320, ML350 etc always drive without using A.C.? Is it that the A.C. easily develops fault and expensive to repair or that it consumes a lot of fuel? Who can help answer this?

Every morning that I wake up from sleep, the first thing I do is say my prayer
The next thing i do is to check my PVC
Voting out BuBu is a task for all Nigerians who are eligible voters!

Hit like if you know you will buy a benz sooner or later.

Make the money come.

I love the explosive door feature...�

Cars are old. Parts are old and worn. No longer being produced by the whites. The whites have all moved on to newer cars, and electric cars.
We the blacks, cannot manufacture spare parts. And nowhere to import spare parts from. So no AC.

Team GLE

My love for Benz.
