My issues with benz... they depreciate a lot faster..

A 2006 corolla still sell higher and very presentable, we still drive 2007 spider and even celebrate after purchase. But when you drive a 2007 benz among the league of benz, people begin to ask you if all is well..

You must be a joker.

Vanity!

V12 TWIN Turbo @ 20L per 100km, ikorodu to Ajah and back with AC that's around 5k fuel everyday in a week 5 X 5 = 25k, in a month 4weeks X 25k = 100k fuel in a year 1.2million I will pass KIA PICANTO on mah mind

You did not consider traffic on this daily journey, the fuel consumption will increase with slow traffic

Factfinder1:
That is what you get when you use bad money to buy things ask were he got d $200k at first

Sorry where did you get this your low mentality from? Havent you work with your haed earn money and still sell it at cheaper price? My dear sister its happen

Mr autojosh.ur articles are getting lame. Wat was the exchange rate and inflation 10 years ago in nigeria ehn. Stick to copy and paste. That the owner sold it for that price doesnt mean other owners wud sell it for that price.ur converting the money to naira did u factor shipping and clearing cost. Sigh

liberalsinnerx:
When it comes to luxury, Audi, Lexus, Porsche and Land Rover tend to hold their values more than Benz, BMW and Jaguar

You don't know cars.
...

Is that guy ok. The car is still cool

PassingShot:

Cars like this are good as a status car. Not for everyday junketting.

I have calculated the mileage with the year and I can tell you that car was whipped around everyday not a once in a while ride.

fckmn24seg:

Yes I did, ikorodu to Ajah shouldn't be more than 100km to and fro. It will even be less by say 10-12km depending on location of take off and stop.

Abroad, yes. In Nigeria, not sensible.

Tell it to those who drive LX570/land cruisers, Ranger Rovers and G-wagon they all have identical fuel usage. It's when they are buying fuel before you that will annoy you, 100L and tank never full

He bought it to impress fine girls like you.

10 years later, there's places I can go to with this car and a 2017 corolla owner wont be allowed in.

Which 2007 Benz model would you drive and people ask if all is well?

pls leave the guy ... He's ignorant.

It's expected.

Luxury cars depreciate faster in value.

Nosey ass manners *in hushpuppi's voice*

Broke girl.

The first owner of the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG bought it at N74m ($200,000), but after about ten years, he sold it at a funny price of N1.4m ($3,750).

Benz anyday anytime, dis is always a status car,its never in de class of OVER HYPED TOYOTA. Just imagine placing BENZ E CLASS 2007 model side by side with TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 model AKA MUSCLE. Only a blind and classless man would go for de Toyota. Benz all de way. Thumbs up for team Benz!

even my ordinary 2002 c180 with low HP still turns heads... The guy is not well...

No mind am,Benz is one car dat never fades not even de 1980s models such as Benz regular or flat boot. Till date a clean type of dis Benz still makes a whole lot of sense!

Very important observation.

People are just talking nonsense on the this thread. One clown was even comparing Benz and Toyota. That's what poverty does to one's psyche, it rewires your brain.

Even the Toyota they're shouting about, it's not Land Cruisers o, just the normal corolla and Yaris that children in Japan use to learn driving. There's a reason why you'll never find a 2017 Toyota Crown in Nigeria. Majority of Toyota fan boys don't even know it still exists. They simply are too poor to afford it.

There's a reason why Fayose uses a 1950s Benz.

autojosh:
When asked about car depreciation, this 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is a perfect example.

The first owner of the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG bought it at N74m ($200,000), but after about ten years, he sold it at a funny price of N1.4m ($3,750).

The car has an impressively twin-turbo V12 engine which runs smoothly with 150,000 miles on it. The buyer will need to fix just a few electrical issues which includes faulty windows and a bad radio.

Which would you prefer.. to buy this car, brand new for N74m or buy it after 10 years for N1.4m?

You should have done a better analysis bro $200,000 as at 2006 was never #74m, it was roughly #26m

20l per 100km for a V12 car? I doubt that, even a V6 3.5L engine will consume that same amount if not a little more, with no traffic.

Mind you 20litre translate to 2.900naira thereabout.
