Hello house, please a friend and brother has his eyes on the W211, I know some of them have peculiar issues, was wondering which of them would suit him (he is coming from a jap).
Your suggestions and reasons are needed please.
He might lose enthusiasm quickly as it is getting too old already.
Tell him to try cheap luxury and gun for maybe a W212 facelift when he is fully ready.
However,I think it is pretty reliable and strong compared to some of its sister benzes.

Cost is a major factor too. I think the 212 is kinda out of his league at the moment. Thanks.

Avoid early models. His best bet will be E350 08/09. Those are gremlin free but maintenance will be expensive than japmobile.

Person dey find W211 of 2m, you dey call W212 facelift of 7m.

But yeah, something like GS300 would serve a lot better. Better than the W211 in all metrics anyway.

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of getting the C300 , between 2008-2010, how reliable and manageable is the car

Decent car. Has an ignition switch issue that typically costs about 150-200k to fix. Buy a C350.

You need to have a second mechanic look at that car.You will waste money getting a new engine and gear.But the sad thing is if you are billed 40% of what it would cost you if you go get a new engine and gear you will not want to pay.

Also note that if its flood problem replacing engine and gear alone wont solve the problem.Sorry but in the past year i have seen 3 Mercedes like this get fixed without replacing engine or gear so am speaking from experience.Hala me only if car is in lagos lets have a second look at it.

Pele

The guy should get a compression test done first.

Good evening all, kindly help me to fine tune my decision on this 2 cars, though same brand.
2003 Mercedes c320 and a 2005 Mercedes e320. I am a bachelor. I just want a good car without electrical issues. Which of the 2 cars is more reliable and cheap to maintain in terms of parts.

Make that 2003 C320 a choice but it should be 2005 C320. It's the best of power and reliability, and it's also not too expensive to replace the engine.
Your marital status shouldn't suffice now. At least for now.

Make mistake put three big sorry chubby and wonderfully made chicks in the back and 1 home boy riding shotgun, be prepared for limp mode, cos that Benz's ride leveling sensors are finicky and will go haywire at the slightest weight provocation.

Unnecessary grammar. Hit a pothole at any speed that affects the shocks' positioning slightly and be ready for messages of impending doom on the instrument cluster's malfunction screen. Me I no send, found a way to remove the Airmatic fuse, even that didn't completely disable the warnings especially if it runs a self diagnostic test during spirited driving.
