2felix: Ppl driving clean Benz like c320 or c350, hw do u deal with misrepresentation? Security agents magnet cause of yahoo boys, police, SARS etc. Constantly being stopped in almost every check point, having to identify ur self often, when other lesser cars are allowed to go b4 they even get close to the check points
Because it's a common knowledge that people with Benzedes are jobless (either Malaysian cocaine returnees or iTunes card-selling yahoo criminals.
Sell that shitbox add some money and get a Hilux and let me see why same policeman will not salute you whenever you drive around that checkpoint.
Thiiiiiiis was when Benzedes was still a German car company. Now the crappy Chinese Geely who bought Benzedes alongside the Nissan and Renault co-owners milk the few remaining buyers for profit.
osy77: Goodevening guys...pls I need HELP...my c300 2015 displayed "Stop vehicle shift to P leave engine running" I did as instructed for about 1 hr...yet it kept popping up anytime I start the car...took it to my benz specialist..he scanned it and said it was the auxiliary batt under the mat of the passengers side, I bought a new 1 for 50k...yet it persisted...my guy now said he wants to change alternator...pls any suggestions on possible solutions
Money guzzler
Meanwhile that particular model of Benzedes you're carrying is prone to strange fire.
emalekuo: The issue is that the Electrician is quoting 300,000 naira for a replacement.
Would also explore the option of having it cleaned and dried
Hahahahaha. Imagine splashing water spoil the car and they are requesting 300k.
If I count the number of times I purposely drove on water to wash my Toyota underneath on high speed my electrician will probably be a billionaire by now.
Conductor261: You're wrong. Mercedes Benz gets better with age coupled with good maintenance. Like all quality items. I am still traumatized by the Honda and Peugeot I strayed to...my heart misses a beat anytime I remember those two
shortgun: You can do 200km/h on the cars you mentioned...but while on it, have you bothered to think what will happen if you need to break or steer suddenly to avoid potholes, animals, people or another vehicle? No one is saying your vehicle will lift off the ground and take off like a jet but you will indeed lose steering control and stability.
Another way to test how well your car is grounded is to park beside the highway, a road where vehicles are doing average speed of like 120km. Stay inside the car, you will observe that Ur car will bounce when a vehicle drives past you. How your car bounces when a car or truck drives past where you are parked will tell you how grounded your car is..I've done this with different cars/SUVs and the results are not the same. I invented this test myself ....give it a try and tell us Ur experience.
[/s] Small boy.
Your common sense did not tell you that a featherweight Lamborghini or Supra will fail the so-called test compared to a very much heavier lorry or truck. Does it mean the lorry has more balance than the sports car?
You are not more than 17 years old. Stop plastering your immaturity everywhere.
9icetoo: Read my post again. Did you see the part about height and driver seating? I forgot to add suspension setup as well. Feeling isn't reality. Can you answer on his behalf? Does your infinity feel light above 120km/hr? Is it German? The stereotype is becoming boring and beginning to sound unintelligent.
Tell the Benzedes fanboy that no matter the suspension on the highest trim of Landcruiser, the smallest trim of Supra is going to be more balanced when navigating corners: the higher the ground clearance the less the balance.
Most Toyotas are made for working-class people: narrow and high ground clearance while they made Benzedes and BMW shitboxes with wide body and low clearance for jobless yahoo criminals to be racing each other when other people have gone for their legitimate businesses.
HeavenlyBang: I don't quite agree with you on this. All cars don't have the same stability in speed, and Germans are typically much better than the Japanese are providing that solid, grounded feeling at higher speeds. Most say it's because German cars have to be able to keep up on the Autobahn.
AmuDimpka: Bros grow up... Honda outsells Lamborghini, rolls Royce, Bugatti and even BMW.... So what are you saying again
You don pass this level naaa
Ask your Benzedes brother
HeavenlyBang: No, it's stupid af to say that Mercedes Benz isn't in the same league as Audi and BMW. By what metric, exactly?
Mercedes outsells them, has considerably better sporting heritage, and has the most luxury. BMW does make better drivers' cars, but that's about it. I don't even see anything Audi is the best at, people who like Audi just like it.
Btw, I like all three brands, and have actively cross-shopped them when purchasing cars. You can say one is better than the other at a particular thing, but saying that Mercedes is a tier below the other two is just absolutely stupid, and no data supports that.
People are entitled to their opinions, and others are also entitled to point out how moronic those opinions are. There are opinions, and then there are facts. That statement is an opinion at best, and a pretty nonsensical one at that.
I do agree that the Mercedes craze is alarming, though.
BamBamK: you will just be jumping up and down spewing rubbish like a Hot monkey who has just being promised sex...
who asked for your validations??
people work and saved up to buy cars of their choices... who made you the umpire here?? who do you think you are to down play their choices and ram yours down their throats?? which car do you drive by the way??
[/s] Imagine hating someone driving a Zhouching mini bus.
I can't envy you. Sorry.
If I want to drive German I buy a real BMW or Volks (Audi, Porsche or even Bentley if I want to be extravagant) not some Chinese knockoff with 4matic AMG Brabus gimmick names.
HeavenlyBang: Honestly, the Benz interior is the best.
Couldn't even see the point: he's mocking your Benzedes for ripping off BMW designs like those cheap Chinese android phones rip off high end Samsung phones and...oh wait, Benzedes is a Chinese company owned by Geely. I almost forgot

Honda outsells Benzedes by more than 2 times, is mostly driven by men of prestige (not yahoo criminals and scammers) and the least trim of Honda Civic is stronger and more reliable than the highest, costliest level of Maybach Brabus Sclass 4matic Airmatic blah blah blah.
Eddee: I would have loved to humour you but I won't. Not one to measure d*cks on here anyway. Maybe some other time, for now miss me with that bulls*hit.
P.s if you'd like us to take this further, call me out on a dead thread or send a pm. Make sure say you carry cash or you get investment vehicles where dey bring in legit cash
[/s] Bros person no fit play with una again?
Just because you couldn't replace the 60k engine of this can coke motor na why you carry your aggression put on me?
Meanwhile I didn't say you could not afford it. You have it just that you have spent it replacing other spoilablables in the motor. I understand. Life of a Benzedes shitbox driver
Eddee: I know we've had our differences in the past but this is one statement I can't fault you on! It's haram to compare the M112 with anything fitted in a Corolla or Camry over the past 30 years. I drove that engine with a blown top for more than 9 months.
Hahaha. Keep taking advice from a 14-year-old SS2 boy.
After driving your smoking Benzedes shitbox because you didn't have money to buy parts, did you bother to ask boat makers and factory owners which engine they use for their machines? Camry and Corolla engine because they never die even after the car itself dies due to irreparable damage in accidents. You won't know this because you have poured your life savings in your Benzedes shitbox now you are using sufferhead to brag
ibbabah: I disagree with u on this. All those using corolla that I came across have changed their engine. It might interest u to know that, some of my friends who use Benz haven’t changed their engines. Moreover not all Benz engines are cheap. Go price M271, M272 and above report back to us.
loba18: Funny you. To me, there's no bad car so far the parts are readily available at the local markets. Today I also learnt that 2003 to 2006 corrola engine and gear are more expensive than e320 2003 to 2005 engine and gear.
The person that taught you that didn't tell complete the story.
The Benzedes may need engine replacement every few years that's why it's cheap but long after the Corolla body has mangled, disfigured and gone out of trend and the owner no longer knows what to do with it, the engine will still be bought by boat makers and factory operators to power their machines. Nobody really wants to change Corolla engine that's why its more expensive.
loba18: Good evening all, kindly help me to fine tune my decision on this 2 cars, though same brand. 2003 Mercedes c320 and a 2005 Mercedes e320. I am a bachelor. I just want a good car without electrical issues. Which of the 2 cars is more reliable and cheap to maintain in terms of parts.
Run from anything Benzedes to avoid changing your storyline.
"I could have married in 2021 but she dumped me after aj used my house rent to replace engine so the landlord threw us out".
mejai: Interesting gist! Please ignore any Benz contributor here. Say no to chaos.
I swear. Landcruiser that Chad army drives everyday in hot desert (they don't drive any other vehicle, even the ever rugged Hilux is not rigid enough for their satisfaction) is what somebody is comparing with Shoprite car.
Imagine when Shekau is coming and you're telling him you want to repair your Benzedes baloon shock
JusticeFOX: Yeah, it's unfortunate that these Yahoo boys are part of the people buying the G, but that doesn't change the fact that it is greater than the LC in every possible way other than popularity, and the LC give or take is better than the rest, though the Range Rover is more capable than the LC, but is very unreliable, judging from experience.
How did your hands feel when you were writing the bolded?
A fully loaded Brabus Amg 4matic blah blah blah Gwagon does not even come with basic offroad capabilities as a basic Tacoma (crawl control, etc) let alone comparing it to a Landcruiser.
Landcruiser that had an entire war named after it (Google Toyota War). Check the video of Nigerian soliders hailing Chad soldiers and see the type of Landcruiser they are using in their convoy: 1984 Landcruiser J70. It made Boko Haram Hilux look like toy car.
Na him you dey use compare Shoprite car like G-carton with. Make I laugh abeg
