Jakumo: All the W124 Mercedes cars I have ever seen have been equipped with automatic transmissions, which are for the most part extremely reliable. My preference would have been for a manual gearbox, but Mercedes only ever produced them in very limited numbers for the W124, primarily for the European market, and never for the V8 powered old vintage Mercs that I drive exclusively.
In short, virtually all running W124 Mercedes cars that you find in Nigeria today, are likely be four cylinder engine variants, with an automatic gearbox. I have W124 in-line 6cyl, manual transmission.

drhappy: Overheating problem solved some few hours ago with replacement of radiator with the triple cells variant. your problem was not solved by replacing with the triple cell variant. Ur problem was solved during the process of that replacement. I'm very sure ur system was not well bled prior to replacement of the radiator. In the process of replacing, the technician did a proper bleeding. |

freshvine: Learning appropriately. I seem to wonder why our local painters never seem to get the exact same paint details in a patch up body work. One door be looking original while the door worked on be looking different. sometimes I wonder if the paint we use here are just fake.
Oga, with the use of the paint code, is there a sikken paint on sale with the code or the seller has to mix paints to arrive at the code.
I've personally gone to paint sellers with my painter to make sure I got the original "auto base" and this has always been the practice but car always shows sign of a woman on "bleaching" cream even if u use the paint code and buy sikkens, once you don't paint the whole car, you will get different shades. The older faded color will be different from the new one initially. |

thebigkendo: Bros lets be factual, Mileage matters.. Is not the most important factor to me but it counts, abi you go buy car with over 300k miles for the same price with which you can get one with less than 200k miles? I didn't say it doesn't matter. I said Nigerians are obsessed with it. Most don't any idea of what to check out when buying a car other than mileage. How else do you explain frantic search for 03 camry and cars below that age with mileage less than 100k. |

EgunMogaji: From my states motor vehicle website https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/pubs/brochures/reg/odometer
"Odometer Mileage Reporting
Odometer Mileage Readings Legislation requires that the department collect and validate the odometer mileage reading for most motor vehicles upon initial registration and registered owner transfers in compliance with the Federal Truth in Mileage Act of 1986.
Reporting of the odometer mileage reading assists in the detection of odometer tampering. The collection of this information provides consumers with an accurate record of the mileage affecting the retail value of the vehicle.
When Do I Report Odometer Mileage Readings? Odometer mileage readings are encouraged for all motor vehicles, but are mandatory when:
you initially register a motor vehicle or transfer ownership, and the vehicle is less than 10 years old.
Are There Any Exceptions To This Requirement? Yes. Reporting the odometer mileage reading is encouraged, but not mandatory if:
the vehicle is 10 years old or older, the vehicle is a commercial vehicle with unladen weight of more than 8,500 lbs (more than 16,000 lbs gross vehicle weight), the vehicle is sold directly by a manufacturer to any agency of the United States, or the vehicle is a new vehicle transferred prior to first retail sale by a dealer." Thanks a lot. So it's actually simple English. |

EgunMogaji: Yes but why?
That is a felony here and punishable by fine and jail.
The proper thing to do is to keep a log with receipt fo when the engine was replaced. We don't know the mileage of the new engine too.
This is why I laugh at people that fixate on mileage alone. One should look at the total vehicle condition.
I was bought a Toyota MR2 with 265,000 miles before. It was as clean as a whistle, have had an engine change before. biko tell them. Nigerians are so obsessed with mileage. The highest knowledge about car is "what is the mileage". When they say a car's mileage is EXEMPT, what does it mean |

DEJAVUBOY4: please i wanna purchase a benz nd my budget is 4.5m-5m.....i wanna go For the C-class.... i have few questions: 1. im 6"4 by height. do i fit in ? i drove both 2005 and 2007 honda accord which was at all not a problem with my height.
2. please which benz should i go for C350 or C300 and what year btwn 2008 -2011 is preferable nd has less problem and arnd what mileage im i safe with. i dont travel much(once in a blue moon). i read something about EIS nd ESL. please advice me cuz im going to the car mart tomorrow. if u do your research online, u will notice that 08 c class is prone to transmission failure between 70k and 100k miles. So do well to buy one well above that. Either it has failed and has been replaced under warranty or it wasn't part of the ones plagued with that error. |

debeo: Thanks Just that production of 202 ended 2000, you know cars can only be 15 years before they can be imported.
I'm looking at 2006, C230 or if I can get any tokunbo locally I will like to start with the last 202 series, maybe 1999 or 2000 c200 or 180. 2005/2006 C230 compressor is very superb. Got one with 134k mileage last week in Dallas. Go for C230 1.8l supercharged engine. U will love it. |

DEJAVUBOY4: please apart From that....what else do i lookout for.... im in cotonu now trying to get one as of now but i want to be patient enough. i saw many 4matic but as u said that i should stay away from 4matic..... what mileage is better to avoid ESL or EIS ? i dont wanna get a car above 90k mileage.... your type will end up with a car of more than 300k miles rolled back to 80k. U people have adamantly refused to enlighten yourselves. |
