Mercedes-Benz realised that, it's not only about armoured tank like shells.........

Curves and interiors are also very important....... Mercedes-Benz, is stating to offer good curves and beautiful interiors.......... grin

I like the looks of an MB too.... But Japs are beginning to catch my interest when it comes to looks too....

Unfortunately in my priority list for buying a car, looks are somewhere in between 5 and 7

Not offensive. Your power of choice is inalienable. Exercise it as a living soul. Do have a great day.

Tbh, I'm a big fan of Mercedes. Always have been. However, it's shocking that just about every single Merc model I looked at had a flaw I couldn't let go of.

W211: SBC, Air shocks for the V8 models, engine flaw on the early facelift models, poor design across the board.
W209: Unreliability of a W203.
W204: Too slow, EIS, etc.

For that same reason, I still have no idea if I'll move over to Mercedes for my next car, since the only good option would be the 2011/2012 C63.

Therein lies my problem with Mercedes. Good cars across the board but most have massive weaknesses.

Somebody once said
If you can't buy two units
You can't afford it
Cut your cost according to your size
Your perception about w123 and 124 is quite exaggerated and wrong
They're the most reliable benz models on the road
We still have one in our garage and it's not struggling to breath
I never heard of anyone looking for w123 engine also
That's why they're so cheap till date
Cos of lack of demand
In 2000, the engine for vboot was 120k and I know a lot of people who bought engines multiple times before they abandoned the car. Curious, what is it doing in the garage?

Kewtt:

It is very intriguing considering the maintenance costs of the Range Rover that sooperrescue works on. Personally I think it's madness driving the Range Rover cars in Nigeria.
There is a big difference between a car that recommends premium gasoline and a car that requires premium gasoline fuel only. Read the effect of using lower octane fuel on the engine of a car that requires premium fuel. Acura owners know what they are going through in the hands of our fuel ditto Vw and BMW. Only the range rover is still on the road managing the fuel.

It's in the garage cos the main owner has other cars

No and yes. I remember when I was fixing Benz in Abuja that the issues were very different from that of the range rover . In Abuja, it's the big men that uses Benz and so paying 600k to service the vgs of a cls 550 is a better option than taking it to Capital motors that will change the gear. For a Range Rover, less than 60k and the gear is back. That cylinder misfires that damages the catalyst is the major problem with Benz. And the worst part is the Amg brand. It requires a higher grade of premium fuel than other regular Benz.
Range is cheaper to maintain than Mercedes in the long run.. E550 waiting patiently for the four balloons is shown in the image

Yes, cos they are all SUV by default. It shares the best part of German Engineering and British Engineering.
