because they don't go bad or need changing often so that's not a huge concern. I can count on one hand how many we've seen that went bad in 10 years.

How many years of those were spent with cars plying bad Nigerian roads?

That 2.0T is a bit crappy, especially during the first years of of production.

I feel I've given the recommendation I can. If you don't need rear doors, a 2014+ E Coupe is a good alternative.

Thank you for the advice

I'll advise you take the E klasse. Engine basically same with the E500. The CLS body shape might prove a bit more expensive to work in case it needs such compared to the E whose body parts are everywhere

so Access to workable parts is your only criterion for him to choose the E-class?

The cls trumps the eclass of the same year with everything...
They're miles apart..

Not trying to hold brief for your Mech - but cheating in this context is subjective. There are different prices for the same item from different sellers. Also the question of brand comes into play. An MB Star part will cost almost twice the cost of a similar bosch/hella OEM part which in turn will cost almost 4x the cost of the usual Tibao knock-offs. Choose your battles with mechanics wisely.
