A fair angle. He should do a feasibility study and come to terms with d reality of owing one before purchase so that he doesn’t join the group of those bad mouthing the brand.

Get a Lexus.

In my opinion one should only get a Mercedes if one truly desires the German experience.

The GL especially an older lady will test your resolve but will give you an unsurpassed driving experience.
I have a Lexus 300 already just seeking for upgrade..

Maybe i will go with my desire and get the gl450 thanks..

I wasn’t but It’s the craziest stuff.

I was parked and just got off of my bike when he drove off the road and hit me.

I was still wearing all my safety gears which helped cushion the impact. And the bike took the first impact before he got to me.

Any ideas what can i do with the junk car?
Is there a point to sell some details?
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Asquare84(m): 10:22pm On Sep 27, 2023
I drive Mercedes E320, w211. My problem is that the car keep smoking and shorting oil. I bought the car as Nigeria used, my first mechanic service the car with mobil xhp 1000. And since then I started noticing oil shortage and smoke coming out from the exhaust. The car sound smooth and run very well, my mechanic recommend I changed the engine, not confused I took the car to one of the best mechanic workshop in Abuja (alimoto) for scanning and the results show that their is no problem with the engine of the car, although I have changed the oil back from mobil xhp 1000 to mobil 5 w20 semi synthetic my only problem is just the smoke that comes out from the exhaust. What could be the reason why car emits white smoke but engine sound well and move very well.

My Mercedes is a total junk. I've already found the ways to sell a junk car profitably https://twitgoo.com/are-there-any-ways-to-sell-a-junk-car-profitably/, but it would be great if someone shared the experience with selling a non-running vehicle. It seems that parting it out will be the most profitable option, though it requires more time.

If your engine has a blown head gasket, oil cooler is bad, it will emit white smoke. If your engine is burning oil, it means either piston rings are worn out, cylinder walls are scoured, wrong grade oil is used, or even thr valve stem oil seals are bad etc. You do NOT need a scan, you need a compression and leak test carried out. In my own opinion, you may need to prepare to rebuild or replace the engine.

I was about responding to the story of him scanning the car till I saw your comment.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by EgunMogaji2: 9:40pm On Sep 28, 2023
The issue of scanning is that on here it seems to be the solution recommended for every thing.

Question: My wife farts when I enter gallop?

Answer: Go and get your car scanned.

I have a Mercedes Benz GLE 450 coupe 2016 I just bought.

Kindly recommend the best engine oil and transmission oil I need to use for it; I saw in its instrument cluster this evening that I should service its transmission.

The car is in Abuja, and you can supply me with the original oils tomorrow if you have them.

I have made a research to use German Adler or Star oil for its transmission.

Which of them is better?

I've got the same car, but the 43///AMG variant, and the 4matic piece i got again from a dealer here

Mobil 1 should suffice, and for the transmission; please use the original mercedes star oil.
Dru23 has the original fluids I believe...

After reading all these complaints and negative review here
I tender apologies for vouching for someone based on how they dissect car problems on Nairaland and use mouth to explain what they perceived as the problem with a car.
The solution always isn’t in the English. It’s in the working out physically. Abi Some of these online mechanic sef dey use AI to generate their comment. Honestly I didn’t expect that Kingreign will get this bad review. To the level of almost holding the guy to ransom for part no used. Based on his comments most time on Naiaraland I have always held him in high esteem believing he is next to God about everything that has to do with car and blaming myself that he is not in my area
Omo there is more to a book than it’s COVER PAGE. I was surprised when the OP said Kingreign na Kazeem. I was like Kingreign is Kazeem key. This man knows everything thing o. I felt that’s an insult to his personality but alas some have experienced the same Kingreign. No vex Op I only judge a book by its cover. I will do better next time

So one unsatisfied customer has reduced him to a kazeem? What of the numerous people he has helped put their vehicles on the road? Have you always been satisfied with the mechanic you use? We should be mindful of how we taint another person's reputation because of hearsay or a business that went sour between two people. I don't know kingreign but he has helped me a lot both here and on our honda whatsapp group.
