Yes sir. They’re equally very expensive too.

I don’t go to Lagos market for things like this. If I’m not ordering abroad, someone is ordering it for me.

Good to hear, thanks

Alaye, be like say crase dey your head. I've told you fucktards to stop mentioning me without reason.

I am not Gravatar. If you have an issue with him, take it up with him. For what it's worth, he's right.
I just don't care enough about your car to continue talking about it. Sell your market in peace, oga. Stop fighting shadows.

Don't you have a day job ? or some productive activity that you dedicate your time to? Or are you really a yahooboy as alleged . . .because seeing grown ass men trolling online is just bewildering

It's treason punishable by death but that would never happen to them because they're white, that's why they are comfortable in doing what they are doing. That white skin kept them from being shot on sight. That's White Privilege.

I'm American and I have been telling Nigerians how racist the US is and all I got and still will get from them is insults if I dare tell the truth about how wicked white America truly is. Even though they are seeing it in 3D now they will still deny.

White Privilege basically sums it up. The US is probably one of the most blatantly racist society the world

Blinds are better. Traditional window curtains have been with us for ages, blinds are just enjoying initial phase of attraction.

Blinds are modern and offers a lot of freedom. Curtains are extremely boring.
You can also try curtain+blind. Read more on kobocity.com

Where do you source quality window blinds from

Exactly what I said way back and noticed about the heavenly smokefish guy. .. always alternating account and trolling, copy and pasting from Google review and following it blindly, always online too (maybe he's a yahooboy), I hate asslickers most especially I hate selective asslickers(he should lick everyone ass evenly)
please don't quote me...am tired

Lol @ heavenly smokefish.
You practically have him figured out.
I'm certain he's the same person as Gravatr or whatever he calls it.

God rest his soul.
Professional hit job. These assasins did not come to play.
The level of insecurity in Nigeria is beyond alarming.

You have a billion Naira you better not put your faith in these untrained Nigeria policemen, who can not even protect themselves.
The private security and armoured vehicle business in Nigeria is about to experience a boom. These big men never see say all these Mopol wey dem dey carry up and down na wash ?

There is nothing like joe biden. Kamala Harris will pull the strings behind. Biden will just be a puppet.
its kamala harris presidency not biden.

You donminit

How stupid can these Dumb ass red knecks get . . . Commiting a crime and implicating yourself with evidence. This should be at least a class 4 felony .

Lol, tales by moonlight. For this America.
Is Interpol going to be carrying out the arrest or is Iraq going to ask Biden to extradite him.

HeavenlyBang:
[s]Truth be told, mods never really increase resale value. You have to accept that as the fact that it is, nothing to do with bad belle or anything.[/s] In fact, in some cases, mods even reduce value.

Rubbish talk ,Bad Belle is exactly what it is about. stop fooling yourself.
Even something as ordinary as Alloy Wheels increase resale value. . . .

Nairaland gives some of you an exaggerated sense of relevance.
If it was a gazzuzz or some other of your cronies or even you, selling this same car . . you will praise these Mods to the high heavens and rave about how expensive and worth it they are.
Those other car dealers spending money on cheap & flashy DVD entertainment systems and body upgrades must be dumb.

Person2person:
thank you for your time here..

door only.,...28k
door with frame and architraves....38k

door with frame, architraves , lock and installation....53k

for the mahogany finished door as posted.

Not bad , nice doors

Person2person:
hello

How much do these cost

I follow your threads keenly. Always an interesting read. You are a true car enthusiast.
If I were you I wouldn't sell this car, Some things are worth keeping . selling is a huge loss of value.
Good luck

Gravatar:
Funny guy, this seller

All up in his feelings because I laid out the facts of the matter, well sorry, but not sorry

People like you are regularly made fun of, on Jalopnik NPOCP Nice Price Or Crack Pipe. People who are so delusional that they think that spending 2 million to dress up a pig in fancy clothes, means they can get that 2 million back from a buyer

Lol

E go shock you, this car go tey for nairaland for that 3m, until one day embarrassment go make you type SOLD, or that 3m go become 2.4m by force

"Upgrades" indeed.

You for make am 4m sef, since na brand new from factory.

Oh shut it, the only thing you're laying out is the depth of your envy.

If The Average abused Nigerian used MDX costs 2.2m- 2.4m, A car as clean as this one will cost at least 2.6m - 2.8m, That puts all the extra effort and money spent on his upgrades at a mere 300k value. . . . something that will cost atleast 1.2m to do today at current exchange rate? and you call that expensive ? Bad belle no go kill una.

Whoever buys this is a Lucky S.O.B .

I was trying to figure out what exactly your stake is and why you're so bitter about a car that has absolutely nothing to do with you, painstakingly read some of your posts . . .trolling after trolling on different threads, with an interesting affiliation to heavenlybang. This must be one of your alter egos

2shure:
3m for naija used.u funny o. I rem when ppl told u not to buy all those aliexpress parts.u wan sell registered car for 3m. U will see toks sef wey pass dis one for 2.5m cash. U wan sell registered honda with rolled back mileage for 3m cos na your papa be dangote ba. All of una are just plain stupid and greedy. Why not sell it 5m. Hahahahaha. You never ready, by the time mdx toks hits 2.3m,then u go hail

Toks for 2.5m in your father's manufacturing company abi. Talk about stupid.
You probably typing from your father's house with your China phone and 10MB free data

Excuzeme:
. . . he has not done or said anything wrong.

If the matter touch you and you are feeling guilty, change your ways

[.

You were attempting to make sense until you got to this point.

The second paragraph is like asking an Okonjo Iweala or a Nigerian Neurosurgeon in diaspora to change her /his ways because he/she feels insulted about a denigrating comment labeling all Nigerians scammers.

InvertedHammer:

We went to school and studied English Comprehension for a reason. Davidoguy or (whatever his handle is) labelled Igbo traders as habitual scammers. It is called deductive reasoning. While we call for truce, let's not try to downplay his insult which was loud and clear.
My position remains that he needs to work on himself and fix whatever is troubling his personal life.
/

Precisely @ Bolded.
While the actions of the trolls are condemnable, Oga davido has shown to be no different. I have studied his disposition on the matter and see that he is not such a gentleman afterall. In sane climes people lose thier jobs for something as little as a sexist or racist remark . You don't need to be trolled to man up to your slip up

He has told one side of the story . . . . Irony of the matter is that the other two sides might contrast completely with his current assertions.
Case in point , oga is currently claiming to have paid cost of original pipes but got supplied low quality ones. Are you sure what you paid is really the cost of Original ? How much be original? How much did you pay?

People like this are the type to want a Lambourgini for the price of prius.

bizzle2:
You're Right as Rain .
People just want to gloat and fight here.

Yes I did , arrives in a few days. Hell of a search, eventually got a 70k+ miles unit with the necessary features.
I Might get around to opening a thread when I complete my Mods. Meanwhile my guy posted it on his Instagram. there's a video and a few pictures.

BMWs are undoubtedly the kings of street racing , but I lean towards the better refinement of the Benz.

Nice ride, That's a sweet colour

davodyguy:
If retailers succeeded in rebagging foreign rice smuggled into Nigeria and claimed same to be local rice, then the regulators are not doing much as expected.

Quality control needs to be worked on

DPR I know always come in when there are claims of adulterated petroleum products in circulation. Hence, we witness sealing of many Gas Stations across the country

You need to address your wrong doing instead of playing deaf.
Your position was grossly ignorant, brazenly tribalistic and very provocative .
The conduct of those trolling cannot be excused , but neither can yours.
Majority of the artisans who pilfer and try to swindle clients are from? sand sellers, wood sellers, cement sellers , in the Western region are ?. How many people do you see coming here to tag yorubas thieves?
You need to check yourself

S M H !!

successmatters:
He owes all of us here an apology and it must be offered or we go on like this. Look, soon this thread will attract more people for the wrong reasons and they might want to scatter this thread.

Ask the guy to apologize, simple.

What is this supposed to be ? A threat?

So in your juvenile mind, Wasting your time and data here will stop sensible people from sharing sensible content ?

My friend Vaporize,

EgunMogaji2:
Hopefully, we can better identify quality products one day in Nigeria. A lot of the substandard stuff should never be on the market.

Hopefully.

I hope you're going to be letting your future customers know how Un-Non-accidented the cars are

HeavenlyBang:
It's a bloody button.

Ok. but I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with my compliment.

I like the man's take and perspective.

Your choice of bloody button is your business not mine.

n3xt:
Fully licensed by FG and SON.

They do custom lights too. I was particularly intrigued that I can take my faulty lights back to the company and it’ll be fixed for me at very shikini money.

I returned 14 lights that were damaged when we had electrical surge and they fixed them instantly.

Scrap the licensed by SON and FG talk. means nothing.

It's not about setting up shop in Nigeria, the question is do you deliver quality?
The same backyard manufacturers who produce the shitty qualities we castigate and hate so much can setup shop real easy and brand it made in Nigeria. Yes it's made in Nigeria, but what are you making ? Just saying.

Not to knock them or anything , but Looked them up and doesn't seem to be that much of a "standard manufacturing " going on. Again, just saying

topsy23:
Boss that price enh... Pure fake price

I'm aware.
I bought all my electricals from allcopacetic . I wonder if he's still here. Quality was 100 . . .even that far back I doubt the prices were this low. 25k for 10mm. What a joke

It costs $9 for a reason bro.
The Genuine Mercedes and OEM options have lasercut/stenciled inscriptions, are made of better materials and have higher reliability. The difference will always show down the line.

For me, fit & finish, reliability, premium feel . . .very important.

To spend 14m on a car and then cheapout on a start button, that wouldn't make sense.

Ladipo is a good source, didn't cross my mind.

I like your taste & objectivity.

E dey work , E dey work . . . . .na im make Nigeria dumping ground today

HeavenlyBang:
One of my biggest fears was port security. Plenty of stories about Port rats, offloading damage, etc.

It's a bit hard to tell if the car was damaged while offloading. But only one thing was missing when it got to me that I'm sure was in the car when it left the US. The start/stop button. It's a simple $9 item that has been bought.

Headlight control module was also missing.
But I don't know where that happened.

So, on to the most important things.

It's a fine car. Far more refined than the Infiniti, perhaps at the expense of engagement.
Even with the V8, it's not a sports car. It's a grand tourer. Soaks up bumps and has plenty of power on tap.
While the G35 makes its power brutishly and at the top end, the E550 is silky smooth and simply pulls you to ludicrous speeds. Very smooth.

For example, if I have a gallon o fuel when accelerating in the G35, it usually falls over. It doesn't in the Merc. It's the torque that's simply amazing. 394 lb-ft at 2800 rpm. More than an E90 BMW M3, a Lexus LFA, or an Audi R8 V8. About the same as a Ferarri 458 Italia.

In comparison, the G35 doesn't make its peak torque of 268 until about 5300 rpm. That makes for a big difference in driving experience, it also means I can sit at 100km/h with the engine lazying about at 1500 rpm.

That said, the VQ35HR is a much more exciting engine. This 5.5L was designed for smoothness in the S Class, not for racing. It shows. The exhaust note is also very muted, and even when you step on it, it just growls softly.

Make person dash me Magnaflow mufflers, I'm pleading.
Cc: Radautoworks

The car is fully loaded, essentially. It's only missing the Distronic Package.

The 12-speaker Harman Kardon system bangs. It's almost overkill for a coupe.

I have heated seats, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, paddle shifters, pretty much everything.

Handling isn't as good as the G35. You can feel the weight of the car. But it's definitely capable. Besides, my boy racer days are over.

Steering is too light. It's what I hate most about the car.

Engine is rated at 382 HP, but I'll eventually get a tune to push it to 415 HP. Other planned mods include exhaust work, an Android headunit, and UR strut bars for tighter handling.

Car has just 88k miles on it with complete service history.

Shout out to

- Deltel for handling everything
- OPUSDEI1 because na my oga at the top
- Gazzuzz for his hospitality
- Nakoks for his help
- Diportivo for being a world class pilot
- Eddee and 9icetoo for their advice
- CarguideNG for an impeccable carfax
- PattyBF for registration and tint permit

Obviously, this was only done with the help of the Cartalk family.

This your analysis no be small thing . Nice piece. Nice car
