Hello house. Pls what's your take on cls 500. And when compared to lr3 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 9:24am On Mar 15, 2016 |
iamord: Two different cars classificationz meant for two differnt core purpose. CLS500 is based on E class which sits 2x2. The 1st gen CLS is actually 40% sportier than the regular E sedan, they're built as fastback cars. Yhe CLS is ranked just below the S class anf above the E class. Mercedes phased out the 5.0l v8 in favour of the 5.5l v8. The LR3 is a truck more suited for off road with some luxury appointments. Its cheaper than your RR. Quite an unreliable truck. 1 Like |

kingreign:I love they way you brought your points our. Am looking at a, 06-07 cls 500 or an lr3. The disadvantages I have been hearing about lr3 is alarming. But I loved it cos of the design and space. As for the cls it's a sleek ride I will love to have my hands on. Will u consider the cls as a luxury car. And how durable is the ride |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 9:37am On Mar 15, 2016 |
iamord: Id prefer a cls to an lr. However, the lr3 is much more practical than the cls due to space and utility consideration. If youre doing a W219 cls, make it a later model year circa 07/08. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 9:39am On Mar 15, 2016 |
iamord: Mercedes is a Luxury brand. And yes CLS is a luxury car. You should be comparing an SUV vs SUV and not Sedan vs SUV because they serve different purpose but it all depends on what you want. You are also correct about the reliability of the LR3 so you need to do your checks and balances before deciding whether to buy that or move to another brand. I once drove a 2007 CLS 350(you can only find this model in Europe) and it was super. The CLS500 or CLS550 is only manufactured in the USA. 3 Likes |

iamord: Are you in Nigeria or UK? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by iamord(m): 9:43am On Mar 15, 2016 |
Eyop:U just made me fall in love with the Mercedes brand. I think it will be a good pic. How effective is maintenance for such a whip? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by iamord(m): 9:45am On Mar 15, 2016 |
kingreign:Nigeria atm. I trail between Nigeria and Ghana |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 9:51am On Mar 15, 2016 |
iamord: It all depends on the User. If you purchase a well maintained one,you shouldn't have an issue. The only problem you might face is the airmatic suspension failure which is an expensive repair but aside that,it's a fantastic ride.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 10:05am On Mar 15, 2016 |
iamord:Nigeria and Ghana are LHD countries, why not do an American or German cls? I prefer a GDM spec to the American spec. |

Hi guys, I am planning to buy C-Class W203 (C230 Kompressor variant) and will like to seek your professional opinion on the Pros and Cons of buying Kompressor. (1) Are the spare parts of Kompressor Expensive? (2) Are the spare parts available here in nigeria? (3) What is the main problem of Kompressor Variant? Thanks. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 3:16pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
Gido: Avoid C230 Kompressor, the C230 kompressor engine use a timing chain which has been reported to steetch and skip its timing settings. Get yourself a C200 kompressor (redtop engine). Although the C200 kompressor os less powerful than the C230 kpmpressor, its much more rubost and much more reliable. Engine and gearbox of C200 kompressor w203 cost just about 150,000 NGN. |

Hello all, ' Please I need help with my 2007 GL 450. Lately I just discovered that sometimes when i'm stuck in traffic, the SUV goes off and becomes unresponsive. I have to remove the key, wait a few seconds and then restart, after which it responds. Does anybody else have this issue? What is the solution? Please help a brother o!!!!! |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Meringe(m): 7:47am On Mar 19, 2016 |
Guys, my c240 2002 model takes a lot of fuel. I have visited an expert, he said the car is okay but from people experiences, i understood that this model doesn't consume fuel. I filled up the tank which is around 63liters tank, i drove highway and within town, from my data, it's 270miles per the filled tank. Men here, with this data, is the car consumption normal? |

I'm about purchasing a Mercedes-Benz clk 320 Kompressor, 6 plugs. What's the car like? In terms of parts, i hope they're easily accessible and not costly? Is it easy to get mechanics to work on it (though i know there are special benz mechanics). Is like most things in the car looks different from other cars. I just seem to love the design. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by bahaushe1: 3:54pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
My c240 AC is not cooling, I was told to change the condenser. Does anyone here has an idea about replacing condenser or compressor of C240? Kindly offer advice. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Konnektions146(m): 8:18pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
bahaushe1: Make sure u replace condenser and compressor at same time Cheers! |

Who has driven or owns a 2013 C300 W204 luxury edition? I read it's a 3.5L with 248hp. Can anyone throw more light of its a good choice, I'm planning to get one. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 10:42am On Apr 02, 2016 |
tsiriman: Hi the pre facelift models of the C300 wasnt packing enough punch so I went for the 2009 C350 which was fast and the C300 wasnt, but fast forward the 2012 Models the facelifted ones the C300 now packs as much power as the prefacelift C350 248bhp while the 2012 C350 got upgraded the 301bhp. Personally I would advice the 2012 C350 thats my next car. I would advice the non 4matic cos it has cheaper suspension parts and you kick the tail and screech from a standstill lol. read more below: http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/mercedes-benz/2012-mercedes-c350-review-1862.html 1 Like |
