hi guys,i noticed Mercedes Benz c 300 2015 model upward are not common on our roads,nd also d price has drop drastically,wots d reason for ds. cc nurey

E don show the owners pepper.


Newer cars have prohibitive part costs (I got my current car brand new and the cost of parts now and when I got it are like comparing heaven and hell) and are extremely sensitive and considering the economy right now with our maintenance culture..... E get as e be.
Plus a 2015 Benz is 4 years old and would have started showing initial skoin skoin

I'm also tilting towards the Volvo I think what puts the Honda in the equation still is the looks.
Honda really pays attention to design.
Thanks for the contribution!

thebigkendo:
Oga you will be fine with any of them

XC90 is an SUV, the accord is a seden, i don't think it's a fair comparism.
In my opinion the Volvo xc90 will flog the accord hands down except for aesthetics which is a personal preference..

The volvo engine & transmission should be cheaper, I don't have figures, expecially for the V6 accord engine/transmission which very expensive..

This is detailed thanks!
I also noticed 2 of the Honda's I came across had the ABS light permanently on (bypassed).
For Leg pull I'm sure that would never happen to me, I change perfectly good parts on my current car according to the manual
I think what I need to make my decision is clearer now.

Thanks a lot!

nurey:
Both vehicles are good choice options.

I don't know the prices of the gear or engine because no one on NL has asked for them, I believe the several engine variants and gear of the cars are good.

common issues.

Accord- Experience the leg pull but extremely rare onlike it's predecessor.

Ignition lockdown, the key would refuse to turn like the steering is locked but the ignition is actually worn, just pour ATF on the key and insert it would work but you need to change the teeth or have them realigned.

VOlvo- Don't buy the T8 engine had a factory error with gear type fixed which causes gear failure.

Other engines with turbo are good but with turbo ensure you use recommended engine oil and you need a qualified technician to fix.

If you have children always cross check interior lightening and exterior lightening because when the car is locked it doesn't automatically switch off all lights left ON (not a Volvo only issue I have also seen Highlander behave that way my sienna on the other hand switches of all electrical left on once key is removed)

Both vehicles do sport leather and Nav screen, Volvo nav screen should have incorporated other useful info, it's a hidden type of nav screen that pops out when needed. Not all the Accord have nav screen though there is a secondary small screen that has information on it.

The Volvo is available with AWD and it's stance is a solid tank stand, body doesn't fall apart and not susceptible to rust as it is well guarded underneath with plastic protectors. The EX and EX-L accord are the top of the line trims with all the bells and whistles of a luxurious car.

I'm thinking of upgrading my car and I'm down to the following two options:

2008-2011 Honda Accord
2003- 2008 Volvo XC90

I used the accord for a few weeks when my car was bad and liked it, I also like the XC90.

I'd like to know,
1. from experience what's the best variant of either of the above vehicles?
2. What is the cost for replacing engine and transmission for them (usually the biggest single expense)
3. What are common issues?

I maintain cars well (used my last 10 years straight and you won't know) and I rate comfort and drive experience above fuel consumption.

Won't a 2017 vehicle be under warranty?
Edit: Just read through

I'm lost

Hello Car Gurus
Pleas I need a special advice and specification
I want to buy my mum a car for her birthday and I want a cheap brand new car that won’t cost between 1million to 2million
Please I need a perfect comment
Thank you

Brand new = 2017/2018

Customs duties alone for these years is above the amount you mentioned.
Last time brand new was this price was maybe 1999

Change the radiator. It should not leak small or big. When the car is hot the water/coolant you put expands(vapor) and would squirt from the leakage.

ChibykeNet:
Hi Mercedes Benz gurus, I need help for my C280 4MATIC 2006, my Windscreen Wipers doesn’t work all the time, sometimes it will start working when I turn Combination Switch to navigate left and Windscreen Washer doesn’t spray water, despite the fact that the water tank engine tested okay. Every other functions in the Combination Switch works perfectly well. I need help, I don’t know what is the issue.

thanks for your anticipated assistance.

It's likely open circuits (most likely corrossion).
A scan would point you in the right direction

Who had access to the documents

Mikanoflex:
Good Evening Nairalanders, my Toyota corolla 2008, shorts engine oil after 2months of servicing it, no external leakage seen and no smoking. Please advice me on what to do and i will be most greatful. Thanks

Check if the oil is milky under the cap or your coolant is oily if yes there's a leak with cooling system, second start the car, open the oil filler cap and put your palm over, if there is pumping (somewhat) then your piston rings have weakened allowing the car burn oil.
My reason last time it happened and I changed engine though they say you can rebuild.
Look under the vehicles too for leaks especially when hot.
The demeanors might know other causes.

YorubaEmir:
Thanks. I'm in Lagos and I will surely be needing other parts. Do they do the replacement or I need to take it elsewhere for fixing? ?

They can usually fix there but you can go to your panel beater too.

YorubaEmir:
Wow! can yougive me a direction or a contact?

It depends on where you live.

Port Harcourt its inside Ikokwu Parts Market
Onitsha - Mgbuka
Lagos - Ladipo

You can also get other parts while at it

It shouldn't be too expensive go to the parts market where they butcher cars it would be there. I know I've bought a door for 3,500 before so that should be cheaper.

YorubaEmir:
Any idea about the cost?

YorubaEmir:
Just last night a mad danfo driver bashed my car while I was waiting for traffic and left his yellow paint and some dents on my car and zoomed off. I'll post the picture later. Can someone recommend a good panel beater for me Please.

Change that panel

My wife did in 2009, We've been married for almost 2 years (Today's even our anniversary).
I wasn't shy though, just might never have met her otherwise, lol.

What do I budget for a 2005 c320(not the 4matic)?
Tokunboh or Non-Abused Nigerian Used?

The fire extinguishers we carry about are practically useless
