It's a good car and doesn't consume so much fuel. For the price though(I want to believe you're buying Toks) I'll choose a 2012-14camry instead.


In all honesty, We've had increase of car sales since Saturday. God bless Obi Cubanna, If you no pick money for OBA na you Sabi.

The Cars Profs in the house. I need your assessment on this particular car. Mercedes Benz C300. I need the pros and cons of this car of based on the conditions of the Nigerian Roads, Fuel rate consumption, Spare part availability in the Nigerian Market (Ladipo and Co.). Your assessment would be highly appreciated because I am thinking about copping one.

P.S:- I also noticed people often sell it after using it for 1-3 years. Could there be any problems ? Tell me things(problems) to encounter if I should buy the car this week!.

Thanks in Advance!

Buy a Truck or as you call it in Nigeria, Jeep. The condition of roads in Nigeria are pathetic.

So please which car is the best in terms of a frequent long distance traveller?

candyguyofficia:
Benz c300 it's a sweet ride and a chic magnet. The car part is expensive though (but it depend on how deep your pocket is), the car also have low ground clearance (which I believe you already know) but it wouldn't be a problem if your city don't have potholes and if it is not prone to flood. I will also suggest you stay far away from 4matic. For fuel efficiency someone that buy c300 isn't suppose to complain or consider fuel efficiency that much na after all it is not Corolla.

If your city have bad road or prone to flood I wouldn't suggest this ride or else you may have to relocate close to a mechanic workshop, if your road or city isn't that smooth I would suggest ML or Lexus RX 350 or atmost Venza.

Generally c300 is not a bad ride

The Car on the right with a diamond grille is mine. They are the same thing same c300 4matic, only difference is that I changed my grille, I wanted something more aggressive.

I use drivvo app on my phone, I just input the fuel price, fuel amount, litres, milage, location, and any other expenses I incurred and the app does the rest.

I’m having the exact same problem with my c300. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to call the mechanic this month. I love anything Benz, just didn’t take into consideration the flooding

temitimx19:

I bought the car in January, I have serviced it once so far, according to the vin check the 2 previous owners serviced the car after 10,000miles (16100km). I am not sure I can service mine after 16,100km, since mobil 1 is quite expensive so I will service mine after 1yr, since I am using a synthetic oil.

rottenPussy:
Anytime I get fvcked in this car, it gets taken to the mechanic the next day.

Lesson: Don’t fvck in this car

temitimx19:
I drive the same car and the same colour in fact. I must say the car is a good car, drives smoothly and very fast. If you want to go for this car you need to consider your location and how good your roads are in your area.
If your location is prone to flooding and you area has bads road I won't advise you to go for it, because the car is very low, when I got mine from the US, the tyres that came with it, were almost new low profile tyres, the way it was always hitting the ground, my mechanic advised me to go for high profile tyres, which was the best decision so far.
Concerning fuel consumption, I spend an average of 30k monthly and my full tank cost about #10k and when I drive with AC switched on it covers 200km.

Cons
Mercedes benz parts are expensive my headlights cost 100k, 1 plug coil cost about 10k, last time I serviced my car it cost me about #53k (2pcs of Mobil 1 + 3k for the mechanic)

Overall
I am satisfied with the car, its durable, has premium finishes, very comfortable to drive in, accelerates very fast, my cruise control is bae, seats are all electronically adjustable, very smooth and silent when driving and the AC is chilling.

Below is my fuel consumption expenses chart and my distance covered
