Please any1 here with smart choice's contact, kindly send to me pls.

shoppyanno: Hello MB family. I need your help. I'm in a dilema of which of these trim to choose.

W202 1999 C200 &W202 2000 C230 Kompressor

The 1999 is a German Spec with 132000miles (can't verify)
The 2000 is American Spec with 134000 miles verified on AutoCheck
Both are 4 cylinders

Eyop:

What do you want in a car? The kompressor is a supercharged engine while the C200 is a naturally aspirated engine. The C230 Kompressor is a performance ride i.e combining power with economy but the other is economical as well but in terms of performance,cannot be compared to the Kompressor.

shoppyanno:

Thanks @ Eyop. I need something rugged, fuel efficent, and can stand stress especially Lagos traffic. I ply Ekiti State to Lagos @ least once a month apart from other short trips.

Eyop:

If you must go for the Kompressor,please ensure you inspect it thoroughly because the Kompressor(can be repaired when faulty) is a wear item and considering the age of the vehicle,you need to be sure that all is good and fine before you buy. Some 6 Cylinder naturally aspirated engine cannot meet up with the kompressor despite being 4 cylinder engine. Very economical machine i must tell you.

danadam:

how can a novice verify that the kompressor is in order I.e. functional not faulty. I will really love to know.

shoppyanno:

Thanks @ Eyop. I need something rugged, fuel efficent, and can stand stress especially Lagos traffic. I ply Ekiti State to Lagos @ least once a month apart from other short trips.

smartchoice:

shoppyanno: Hello folks. any1 here know where I can get Original MB recommended Coolant, Transmission Oil, Engine Oil, Brake pads @ reasonable price in Lagos.
Check pictures below

1 Coolant
2 Transmission Oil
3 Engine Oil

Eyop:

If i were you i should find out if it will be possible to order them direct from overseas. So many repackaged transmission oil,engine oil(Even the Mobil 1 sold in our filling stations are not fully synthetic),coolant,etc except you are sure of the source you will be buying from. Depending on location,to order these items shouldn't take maximum 2 weeks to land Nigeria.

shoppyanno:

@Eyop that's serious. What has happened to Nigeria that we have to buy stuff abroad in order to be sure its genuine.
How do you get yours? Do you also place orders?

shoppyanno: Guys check this 2000 model C230 Kompressor

Eyop: ^^^^ what we see are pictures . what do you want us to check on it?

shoppyanno:
More pictures......

shoppyanno:

How much do you think its worth?

smartchoice:

My Oga am thinking if shoppyanno should get a classic Merc instead of the kompressor model....what's your take?
