HeavenlyBang:
Now, to advice you on the cars themselves.

As said, I have zero interest in a Corolla, and so go out of my way to not learn anything about the bloody things.

For the W203, kindly stick to facelift models. MY05 was the facelift year, so anything after that should be fine.

The 05 230 Kompressor is a petulant little brat that will go when you want it to, and mon dieu, does it go. However, it has a supercharger, and, while not difficult to repair or prone to random tantrums, should not be trusted in the care of an uncouth, ill-trained technician. The ones colloquially known as "Kazeems". The C230K has excellent gas mileage! Perhaps on par with the Corolla, even. It's a 1.8L i4 car, so that's about par.

The 05 C240 is a naturally aspirated V6, so has no supercharger. It is, however, slower than the C230K and doesn't offer a driving experience as fiery as the aforementioned model.

The C230 and C280s of 06 and 07 are excellent cars. Both are powered by the M272 engine, which is prone to a balance shaft defect. Expensive to fix. That fault usually occurs around the 100k mile mark, so there's a chance any car you have may already have been fixed.
Check your Carfax before purchase.
All 2006 models had that defect, but not all 07 offerings did.

Personally, I'd go with the 05 C230K. Biggest gripe with it is the subpar exhaust note, but it's probably the best option. The 05 240 is a good one, too.


Choose wisely, young warlock.

05 c230k is it.
Thanks.

AgentGoat:
which one you wan buy now

Going with the benz. 2005 model.

Thanks all, at least money is not really an issue here.

My first car? Yes.

Hi,
I am thinking of getting my first car.
However, I am stuck between getting a Corolla sport and a Benz C200-C240 kompressor.

I wonder if someone can share their experiences, using any or both cars, including cost, maintenance, issues. E.t.c

You can also help include what to watch for when purchasing any of the cars.. thanks.

All the Robbers are the real descendants of Afonja

Unfortunately that guy looks like an IGBO boy.

Oyinbo woman.... beat her, but don't beat beat her cat.

By the way, lets all avoid domestic violence, political violence, violence of all sorts...

While I completely condemn the treatment of our soldiers, gee!! It's the military for God's sake, no one forced anyone to join....

Especially a country like Nigeria... smh..

Chaii, see her face...
She's not tough untill she tries Saraki, Buhari, Tinubu, Burutai, Atiku, Obansanjo, etteh, melaye , all former governors... people corrupt.

sean1000x:
Coming after IPOB sit-at-home that lost Nigeria 220 billion naira, now another loss? Ipob has finished this country! What will Hausa-Fulani and Afonjas do now? Where will they get money to eat?

Chaiii, did you go to school at all?

Knowing your age will fill my account nii?

I am surprised, but Buhari is slow, the court process is slow, efcc sef slow...
I would probably have grey hair by the time these ones court cases are concluded.

Smh, crazy country.....
Aba people will do the exact same thing, even better for #1500

olmoRoc:
This is NOT a military regime! Workers often go on strike in the West, and when they do, the affected parties sit to negotiate without issuing threats.

First this is not the west,
Second... health officers don't go on strike without providing options to the public.....infact health workers don't go on strike.

Women shaa...
Why is she still on heels

The only thing special about all this Sars guys is their belle....

Special my azz

Any advice on Ac - As combinations

Dat phone at 20k... Hhmm, its like Buhari regime, promising what it will not deliver.

Jwonder:
If all these qualifications are true, then this is the kind of person that should be heading the NPF not the monumental disgrace we have as IG. The government should encourage officers of the NPF to go on courses and training just as the navy.

Smh... See you..
Enough people get certificate with nothing upstairs...

Nigerians are generally dull....

How can all this be happening and people just talking and talking and talking....

Anybody especially Igbo or Yoruba thats votes Buhari, will be cursed.

And ekiti is oweing salary?
Am crying....

UzuegbuProsper:
the foresighted leader

Whats foresighted in building houses for any ex governor? Even Ohiakim thats in court for stealing....

If you vote any leader above 54yrs, you one of the problems of Nigeria

Don jazzy.... shaa be using style to yab davido

Hahahahahahag........

And everyone will be shouting bob bob....

The guy will be shouting money money

The guy is not a lazy youth

Finstar:
I have watched other videos where he was interviewed.. Confusion seem to be evident in every sentence... So many erm erm erm and long pauses.. Sometimes, he lacks the word to use and you'll see him, waving hands like a stutterer.. That man is an illiterate and please, stop defending him.

Good speakers also pause in speeches....thats thinking before you speak.

At your level, anything you say won't matter, but public speakers need to be cautious so people dont twist their words, hence a lot of reader reading from prepared speeches

We need to first understand this country.

When you realise people only speakup when policies don't favour them, you realise it's all bullshit.

Look at Saraki and co... It was untill dino faced police brutality, they realised brutality actually exist.

This Timi now, has probably been sidelined,
Although PMB does do not help, especially with his tribalistic behaviour.

Its obvious we need to do away with all these seasoned politicians... All of them....


If you vote Buhari, or Atiku, or any politician older than 50 years, you are part of the problem if Nigeria.

swiz123:
At least efe invested his money into wack songs.

What exactly is this buffoon doing with his?

Igbos are known for their willingness to invest whatever little thing they have; guess that's why they are arguably the most successful tribe in Nigeria.

With that said, miracle's mother obviously played away match with an afonja cos that boy isn't behaving like a true igbo man

Thats why the top richest men are from igbo land.
Or the most developed states are in the Igbo lands.

Sarkin:
THOSE OF YOU SPREADING AND MOCKING THE VIRAL VIDEO OF OUR BELOVED IGP SHOULD Be WARNED.

I WILL REPORT ANYONE I CATCH TO THE NEAREST POLICE STATION.

IPOB DOCTORED THE VIDEO TO BRING A GOOD MAN DOWN..

Ipob doesn't stand to gain anything.

See this timeline...

Dino gets arrested.
Saraki/senate shouts
Igp is invited
Igp declines
Dino is released
Igp attends senate invitation
Igp commits a blunder
Assassin's confess about Saraki and dino as godfathers
Igp other blunders trend on YouTube.
Igp is suddenly clueless..
Igp should be removed from office.


Am I the only one seeing this?

I like the princess already.

sean1000x:
Afonja....show us one company or equipment Alakija has? Stella Oduah has owned these assets since early 90s after she returned from US where she studied.

Look at all the properties your god has... how many are located in the east.. buffon

EzendiEgo1:


Very Good, Aliko Dangote clap for yourself you hear.

You have succeeded in carrying out your aim out, but am telling you the God that have been seeing INNOSON although this year will never let him down.

You want Market share in Automobiles industry.
No problem Mr man

How many businesses are you into more than six but still yet you will never remove Eyes in any business Igbo man is doing successfully.

why I am even presiding on this man case

Upon all Top 10 Most Valuable Auto Brands 2018: is Peugeot this Man decides to go into.

Who drives Peugeot this days

INNOSON keep going higher this man is still a small boy in Auto industry.

I don't think you are educated at all..
You are one of the most nepotic and tribalistic person I have ever met on nairaland....


What's wrong with competition? In U.s there are a lot of car companies, there is ford, there is Gm...
This will help drive down the price.. yet you want only Innoson to be producing cars for Nigeria....smh for you.
