“If I’m just buying a car for convenience and basics, I’ll go for a Toyota or any cheaper but a solid brand. If I’m buying a luxury car and a renowned car, I’m going German and the other luxury brands”.

I am done

Mercedes done soo many innovation that one can never think. Mercedes provides surety and security while driving their cars. With safety and power Mercedes have luxurious interior in it.

yungboss:

Please paste a link here of that reliable site/report, which states that Toyota is a better company than Mercedes.

Reliability and trust come from actions in the right direction, nothing else.

Since the beginning, Mercedes-Benz engineers have devoted each minute of their time to a moment they hope never happens.

It's like being ready for the worst because they make the best anyway.

In the process, they’ve set benchmarks that the rest of the automotive industry follows to this day. Mercedes-Benz vehicles are designed to protect you in ways that you might have never imagined — and with the hope that you’ll never have to.

Innovation has always fueled the passion of Mercedes-Benz engineers to pioneer safety technologies. They’ve made history for introducing many of the safety features that are now commonplace in the industry. Below are just a few of the milestones that have made their debut on a Mercedes-Benz vehicle.

1951 – The crumple zone
1971 – A patent for the airbag
1978 – Antilock Braking System (ABS)
1985 – Electronic traction control
1997 – Automatic child-seat recognition
1998 – Side curtain airbags
2005 – Night view assist
2012 – Surround-view system
It's not to say that others couldn't have figured it out, but Mercedes-Benz did it first.

Openbusiness:

Spoken like a true dummy. With this level of low IQ, I shouldn't be talking to you. A Benz owner welding ball joints, putting 1k fuel, buying used tyres, dumped car for 7 months etc are those not clearly an indication of a person that bought something he can't afford aka BROKE PERSON, and all that cutting corners just to meet up still proves my point that BENZ is not for BROKE PEOPLE. But in a bid to hurriedly condemn someone else as a fool, you just made a bigger fool of yourself. Please pray tell, I really want to know, and maybe other people here too will like to know, which Toyota brand new car will buy x2 a Mercedes-Benz brand new car in the same vehicle class. Is it a 2020 Rav4 that will buy two 2020 Benz GLE 350 or a 2020 Landcruiser that will buy two 2020 Benz GLS 63 AMG , or is it a 2020 avalon that will buy two 2020 S65 AMG? Please come prove this your point and if you can't prove it, you need to deactivate your account for this kind of abracadabra lie you're telling. The most expensive Toyota today is the brand new 2020 Land Cruiser VXR V8 costs less than $90k for full options, $90k that cannot even buy one brand new 2017 Benz E63 AMG, mtchewwwwwww! In Nigeria, people are buying brand new toyota's back to back like pure water, but how many people buy brand new Benz? Even the rich people, many of them buy low mileage tokunbo that the price has almost reduced by half already. Brand new 2019 Benz GLS63 AMG (same full-size SUV class with landcruiser) costs over $130k for full options (MSRP specs is $126k). Toyota can buy 2 Benz kee you dia, bloody liar!

I am learning here

It's plain hypocrisy when they come here and bash Mercedes Benz Cars and go behind to acquire one

After bashing Amudimkpa and his ML they still want to buy the ML they called a joke.
Amudimkpa come and see someone wants Ur ML

I was seeing how they were talking of LEXUS RX300 in another thread and the issues that the car especially the SUV was giving them, I laughed, I know that ML 320 - ML450 is a good SUV most of the guys I see driving them don't complain of their SUV ...Benz is a good car.


I just enjoy this thread

okeyglm:

Audi and Toureg are core luxury SUV

richPHAROAH:

AmuDimpka:

Thanks

As Amudimkpa said, it is a good one It doesn’t matter how old is a Mercedes car there’s no room for squeak or rattle. Mercedes-Benz welds all of its vehicles in 10,000 different places to make sure no nuts or bolts get loose. Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the best-selling model with 13 million sold in 2015, is a perfect example of breath-taking design.

Daxbiz:

Thanks.

NB: I presently drive a 190 auto. I spend an average of N4,500 in 15hrs driving time every week.
