ziccoit: There is an offer of 2003 Mercedes Benz C180k automatic transmission clean in and out.

What do you think of the ride?

Do you think this is a wonderful offer for 1M?

I have requested for the VIN number, only I don't think whether that will yield much since the car is probably from Europe.

Abiodun Adebayo: Thanks for your prompt response. Unfortunately, I am more confused. Can you please she'd more light on the issue when you are in a better mood? Thanks.

Gee2728: My kick..........!!

Austyn44: greetings to all d MB experts in d house. pls guys, am a new "convert" to the MB C class and I want to get 1 for myself latest December but am not sure which to buy cos I have a very limited knowledge on MB c class. i won't mind having an idea of d prices too. help me out. Thanks alot.

Austyn44: my budget is #1.2m and I prefer economy

Gee2728:
Am quite sure for #1mill or less u'll get a W202 C200 or C180.

au.hanson:


@ Austyn44, With the 1.2mill you can obtain a clean w203 Benz c180 0r c200 possibly 2001,2002,2003 model , Lagos price

Gee2728: bro hanson if W203 for #1.2mill then am not sure it wld be a clean one. Though we all have our definition of clean cos most W203 I see for less than #1.8mil have been re-sprayed, tired leather seat, and ridiculously high mileage.

smartchoice: where you dey see your own?

Eyop: My brother, i quite agree with you and is not as if you cannot see the vehicle with that budgeted amount but the question that you should ask yourself is what will be the condition of the vehicle (W203) you are buying? My own version of a clean ride will be different from another person's own. A certified clean ride is one that both the interior,exterior,mechanical,electrical etc will not require you to do anything and the mileage will be very reasonable. I have a friend that went to Togo to purchase a 1997 Mercedes C200 which landed Lagos Nigeria for #1,150,000 and the vehicle was super in all aspect because it was buy and drive.

You can even go online(some of the German used car websites) to find out the cost of some of these cars(a very clean one that has a good service history and will not require any further repairs) from there you can be able to know if your budget is realistic or not. In cotonou a very clean one will not land Lagos at that amount because the Lebanese selling cars will also want to make money from their sales and they won't invest so much money in a certified clean one to enable them sell very fast.

If for W202 then i am very sure that you will get a good one that is clean in and out but for a W203,i doubt if you can achieve that but all that depends on the individual buying anyway cos your own version of clean may not be clean to me. Mercedes Benz is not like a Toyota or any other Japanese that you can gamble with in terms of the mechanical and electrical features so my advice is get certified clean ride that your budgeted amount can carry. Good luck...

Gee2728:

Thank God say u see my point. If u dnt mind send me ur mail so that I can send u the clear pic of my car so u can also appreciate y it cost that much for a W202.

cne010: You can only get a clean naija used for that price.

Gee2728:
You have a point.

smartchoice: clean is RELATIVE...9ja used ride w202/203 @ 1.2mil then I must have been smoking something and seriously high

cne010: U think?

Some certain factors determine the price. No pun intended there are some naija used good as toks.

danadam: W203 for #1.2 million is definately naija used. I reside in kano and did my survey back in april 2013 after finally deciding to retire my benz E 430 2000 model. I saw a very clean 2006 C 350 for #3.5 million and another relatively clean 2006 C 280 for #2.5 million. I finally went for a 2005 C 320 @ #2.4 million. I believe it kinda depends on where the car was sourced from, mileage etc. but a W203 for #1.2 million is definately questionable.

danadam: You reside in KANO. Anyway am talking
about 2003 and below, 9ja used. By the way
how is your E430/420?


Okay. you are right, saw a couple of them at #1.2 - 1. 4 million but I didn't want any naija used car. My E430 V8 is presently in possession of my Dad... the old man is really enjoying the car.
