I do. But yeah, those engines are ridiculously thirsty, especially with the 5-speed. The G37 should be better.
yea.... king406 is in a good position to clarify this insinuation

interesting.... guess u always drive ur G like it was meant to be driven. Although, the VQ family is known to be notoriously thirsty anyway

HeavenlyBang:
Oh, and BTW, I actually get better fuel economy on this 5.5L V8 than I do on the 3.5L V6 G35.

It's ridiculous.

ok sir...

following


HeavenlyBang:
It's important to know what you're getting into. The E550 was offered in two engines.

The M273 5.5L V8 in 2010/2011, also used in the 07+ E550, the W221 S550, and the W219 CLS550. The other was the M278 4.6L twin turbo V8, used in all 550 models from 2012 to 2018.

I'll be honest. The M278 is the better engine. More power, more torque, better fuel economy, and comes mated to the improved 7G-Tronic Plus.

But. My budget could only stretch as far as a 2012 and the first few years of the engine had timing chain tensioner and fuel injector issues. Also, I'm not a fan of forced induction engines. I much prefer simple naturally aspirated motors.

In addition, the M273 is essentially a bigger variant of the M272 on ubiquitous cars like the pre-facelift C300. It was a no-brainer.

I hit my plug up.
Actually, I first contacted AMDMan. Great guy, but the prices listed felt a bit too much, and I'm not a fan of Canadian cars.

Deltel it was, then. Na him first help me run my previous car anyway.

It took dem 3 years to reply his post
It took 3 years for them to apologise. 3 years later they are still hoping they can make it up to him...

Even if it's over 5 years, they should still appease & settle him. That's the right thing to do!

Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by BamBamK: 4:40pm On Nov 26, 2020
thanks for the explanation.

HeavenlyBang:
Maintenence is quite a bit more expensive. The ES is essentially a dressed-up Camry/Avalon depending the year.

The GS, on the other hand, is only similar to the IS and a number of cars that aren't sold outside Asia.

Also, the GS of that era (2005-2012) has quite divisive looks. Lastly, there was a time the 2007+ GS350 engine cost over 1m, too.

Car TalkRe: Baba40 Is A Dubious Fraud . (proof) by BamBamK: 11:23am On Nov 25, 2020
robville25:
You stated that Gazzuzz should not have warrantied the engine. U actually called it “Foolish” (Without having the locus standi anyway)

You stated that he has done this for others and has gotten away with it but this one has shown him otherwise (irrelevant opinion but let’s sustain it for the purpose of this conversation)

In your mind, Gazzuzz goofed on these two premises.


Client has a warranty that takes the same time it requires to win 85million Naira in the big brother Naija house. He ignores it.

Client receives an extra 24 hour window. He ignores it.

Client abuses and vilifies the mechanic online and demands sympathy. He gets online sympathy, he ignores it.

Client is required to show proof of his claims against mechanic. He insists mechanic shows proof. Mechanic shows proof, he ignores it and continues to assassinate the character of the mechanic.

Client demands that Gazzuzz concede to duping him arrogantly and further requests to be duped with humility. Gazzuzz saves him the emotional trauma of being duped. He ignores it.


Client has out-goofed Gazzuzz. He has no case. How hard is that to glean from all you have read so far?
you go definitely be lawyer.... u sabi book wella
Car TalkRe: Baba40 Is A Dubious Fraud . (proof) by BamBamK: 10:55am On Nov 25, 2020
i wonder how you communicate with your clients... poor communication skills...

incomprehensible jargons

ZIMDRILL:
you missed the point when asked Gazzuzz what did he do to the engine that gaurantee a warrant he had no answer for it except that he started to point out manufacturer defects meaning he is running away from the blame and put on the manufacturer

lets has he reconditioned the engine right but he would give warrant because he had worked on it and he knows that its a good engine

besides that he never excluded himself from engine an engine failure that is due manufacturer defects, he didnt tell the customer becoz i guess he wanted money

he did care share infor with customer
on mafucturer defects of the specif engine

GAZZUZZ:
We are dealing with character assassination , it is imperative we understand and see a pattern.

From multiple sources I have gathered that his engine was fine, but was told that if he complains I will refund without asking.

He removed the engine I installed , sold it to a third party and put the third parties engine in his.

He was not expecting the 24hr ultimatum as the transfer was not concluded within time frame that's why he resorted to nairaland.

All will be exposed shortly

I will reveal all the characters involved very soon
yes ooo... fire on
