ML350 is another SUV that I am eyeing... It's a good brand. I haven't owned it before but I rarely see it at my benz mechanic apart from change of brakes and engine oil and other routine things that one do in a car... My mechanic says it's a great car .

It is not also a balloon suspension like s class it's normal shocks! It's a good one from what I heard
This looks great.

I drive an ML... Bros Benz is a luxury car and you must first of all know that it is a premium brand... You are not buying Mazda or Toyota or some funny Mitsubishi...

Dude you are buying a Benz... It's a prestige

And as of maintenance.. it's not that much because you change oil once a year and you use Benz gear oil which is about 2k per one you use about 7 of it

Also ... Shocks last like 5 years it's a German engineering not Asian stuff

Finally , get a good mechanic.. Benz is a good brand and rugged also


If you want cheap things abeg go buy Toyota Highlander .... Benz is for men

Anyone deceiving you that an ML W163 was actually luxurious was actually lying and if you are thinking it is, then you're self delusional. Imagine a truck with scandalously huge panel gaps, terrible interior trims and bland designs, not to even talk about how it drives so soulless.

As for shocks, the last time I checked, my Lexus has done 6years and I just decided to replace it's shocks last December. My highlander did 4years and never did I replace her shocks.

What an irony coming from someone driving a truck not more than 1.9m ahahahahah a 2003 rav4 ,cost about 2.2m a 2003 highlander cost around 2.5m toks. Now who's a cheapskate?

To be fair to him, he buys all four shocks 25k grin. If it lasts 5 years, that's impressive grin

AmuDimpka:



You are right, that car is awesome....the compressor of ML320 (2005) that I am driving is 30k , the shocks is 25k for the 4 , the filter is 1,500, the ignition coil is 3k, the gear is 60k

And these things rarely get spoiled. Benz is a good brand.

That is one of the best SUV you can drive . .the handling and the movement is good... The engine is built like a tank... Ana funny enough fuel consumption is okay... Ensure that your catalyst isn't taken and your MAF is good


But trust me that is one of the finest SUV and it commands respect! Police seff dey fear to stop me only they stop and ask anything for your boys ....

The maintenance isn't that bad, ask anyone that drives that SUV it's a good car... It's my first SUV but not my first Benz

I have never had any issue with the engine ...the only thing I did is to change that plugs that's all...engine has never given me issues...I am planning to change the shocks for the first time since I bought it...guess what? The 4 shocks isn't up to 30k ....that is it !

I want to buy the new model LED lights , I learnt it's about 40k...but the old model light just 10k

It's a great car

mine is 03/04, I saw it on the side panel and the VIN number also... It has silver trimmings at the knobs of AC and also two speakers at the front doors one up near side mirrow and the main Bose

But basically 2004 and 2002 are basically the same just few things like bumper, sensors , navigation and small things but same engine 320 engine v6

This was how Buhari started and we never checkmate him until he became a nuisance to nigerian. Now you're down the same path and we won't let you be a nuisance. Nope, not on our watch hence the occasional checkmate to bring you down from your high horse.

The best or nothing. Mercedes Benz!!

Inception:
Hi guys,

3 weeks ago I recently purchased a Toks 2008 Lexus ES 350 from Lagos.
Upon arrival I noticed a slightly harsh 1-2 shift ( which was quite unusual for a U660E transmission, as I have driven many) amongst other minor nuances.

But my current worry now is that on a typical cold start, I noticed a quite serious 2-3 shift flare and 4-5 shift flare( which is even worse than the 2-3 flare), accompanied by the occasional 1-2 harsh shift. But after like 7 minutes of driving, the shift flare is gone( but the 1-2 harsh shift is still there).
Also noticeable is a harsh engagement into reverse from Neutral or park. Shifting from Drive to reverse and vice versa is quite smooth

So far I have not done anything to the transmission ( nothing has been touched)

No transmission code is present.

Pls help advise me on what to do because it is becoming a source of worry that the transmission may pack up soon

Gurus in the House:

KInn
Radautouworks
Honmmusa
Autoloigic

Cardoctoyr

Inception:

It is well. That is all I would say for now.
I have not enjoyed that car for one full day since it was bought

We Benz owners should sympathize with this Nairalander... That transmission costs 350,000 -500,000.

I am very disappointed with this....how is C- Class not a Benz?
Mercedes Benz have a big family for people to choose from based on individual taste; just like any other brand.
Can u state Ur reasons why u think C-klass is not a Benz?
For all I know the C- class is even higher than some Mercedes models.
You see more of the C-klass on the road cos many people love the compactness and sportiness that comes with the C.
They buy that because it is what they can afford. Not like they necessarily like the compactness. Give them an e class and they won't even hesitate.

Not everyone is into big,roomy cars.
And what do you think is the price difference between C and E classes in the used car market in Nigeria?
Not much if you ask me.
Where I might agree with you is MAINTENANCE!!!
Everybody dey fear E for that one. undecided
And we know no one will accept having a huge liability like an E klass as a gift,since its satan's gift itself so I wonder why you all are here chanting about C klass owners not being able to afford E klasses.

I used to think you knew a thing about cars but now I know you're just a wannabe.
Most real drivers go for compact cars for several reasons including;
1.Incospicous.A C class is less noticeable compared to a Camry though the Camry is a big,empty box compared to the C.For very shy ppl like us,this is very significant.
2:Ability to maneuver and shunt in traffic.A 360 turn that would take others 2 or 3 turnings to complete, you can do it in 1 clean sweep.
3:Can squeeze into the smallest parking space.
4:Easy to dodge gallops,potholes.
Etc etc
