cucumbar:
but on a second thought, won’t a faulty coolant temperature sensor make the check engine light come on? My check engine light is not on.

rationalmind:
I got this from the front page, how true is it? I know there's a lot of misinformation on the fp these days.

"No 6, Benz E300 2009model
Avoid d 2009 model if u are buying, crankshaft issa goal, it will give u problem, and d engine cos is around 2/3million naira, gear can also hook to park, making it difficult to put ur car in park gear."

Fantastic.

I want to buy a benz C240 year 2001, Nigeria user.
Good interior and exterior but AC not working and power steering seem to be making sound

He is asking for N850. For a MY 01 car with the faults listed below

Pls is this a good buy?

How much can I fix AC (compressor etc) 20-25k (could rise, if condenser/dryer, hoses are leaking) add labor costs

How much can I fix the steering pump and rack.
Pump and rack 35k (add labour costs)
You wisdom is always appreciated.

Thanks

Only when he owns one and wants to market it for sale.
Do you expect him to speak ill of the same car he wants to sell?
He'd tell you his car is better than a C230K

That fluid you're telling him to use is for transfer case/differential.

The fluid he should use is Transmission Fluid ZF Lifeguard . Good luck with his search.

I disagree.

A car is different things to different people. If you look at a car as a liability , a wife is also a liability, a child is a liability, our old parents are liabilities, even our friends and extended families are liabilities. Hell, even a girlfriend is a liability. Yet, we keep having them even when we cannot afford them in some cases. What is the essence of life if one cannot make himself comfortable? Why should anyone refuse to buy a car saying its a liability.

Would you rather buy a car (liability) or be constantly late to work risking your job commuting in a bus or taxi. Would you rather buy N500 fuel to go to and fro the next street 3 times or pay taxi N300 each way (N1800).

A car is an unnecessary liability only when it is unreliable. A car becomes an unnecessary liability when you have another you can use or another means of travel that is time saving, cost saving and fits exactly in your schedule.

A car is always a liability, a necessary or unnecessary liability.

If you work night shift and close by 12midnight when your safety in public transportation is not guaranteed, would you refuse buying a car for your safety because a car is a liability?

In your own case, you always had access to a car right from sec sch, op doesn't. Buying your own car is an unnecessary liability but for his case, it can be a necessary liability .

The wife/girlfriend analogy really made my day

if you want to know the car I bought you must be a female and be manipulative
