Samad805:
What wrong with the engine of this car

And the customs papers - engine and tranny isn't above 450-500k

HeavenlyBang:
True, true. I hadn't considered that. But there are more American cars than ever these days around. I see plenty of Dodge and Ram everyday, and parts are likely to be shared.

When we get to that bridge, we will definitely cross it. Make i stroll enter my favorite joint thread.

HeavenlyBang:
Airmatic is optional on the E320 and E350. Standard on the V8 models.


Na that airmatic just discourage from Mercedes, tbh. Limits choices to the C Class and other cars built on that platform.

Like you, I'd rather stay with Infiniti. Lexus hasn't exactly made an exciting car in a long time, except maybe the IS-F. Apart from that, going forward, it's American for me.

Charger and CTS-V are great sedans.

My brother, that charger is the way forward. Downside is having to always wait for parts if something breaks or fails. I've been in that situation before with a water pump for my mom's Jeep, was the first part I bought on ebay or is it Craigslist sef. That was more than 10 years ago for a liberty, and little has changed over the years.

American cars in Nigeria are all fun and games, until something as common as a specific relay or even ball joint fails.

HeavenlyBang:

Tbh, I'm a big fan of Mercedes. Always have been. However, it's shocking that just about every single Merc model I looked at had a flaw I couldn't let go of.

W211: SBC, Air shocks for the V8 models , engine flaw on the early facelift models, poor design across the board.
W209: Unreliability of a W203.
W204: Too slow, EIS, etc.

For that same reason, I still have no idea if I'll move over to Mercedes for my next car, since the only good option would be the 2011/2012 C63.

Therein lies my problem with Mercedes. Good cars across the board but most have massive weaknesses.


Bars of life.

My W211 has airmatic and it's a v6. But currently on coil overs, local man cannot come and kill himself. As for the prices quoted by sooperrescue for the w212 air shocks, I'll say he was been lenient. Only Merc, I'll buy going forward is an S Klasse (if I perish, then I perish). If money no reach, I sabi person wer get connect for Infiniti Benz and Lexus Benz.

HeavenlyBang:

jaxxy:
Yes it is and an Ac leakage. That’s all. Thx

A friend has seen the advert, he might proceed to contact you, if he feels the need to do so. Personally speaking, if those are the only faults as you say, then it's a car that will sell itself.

Hello bro, is that a chip on the windshield? What are the minor fixes? It's still a nice car, weyreypey come and see, I think there might be value in this deal.

weyreypey:
You should be careful. Why advertise your Honda on a Merc thread?

Larrixauto2017 now

weyreypey:
Ok o. You are welcome

Don't worry, I'll stick to Benz discussions. Tomorrow, I'll talk of my attempted ignition coil swap and radiator expansion tank replacement.

weyreypey:
there are threads for toyota lexus find your mates there

I like it here, I think I'll stay.

I know this is a Benz thread . And I have another DIY to share tomorrow, assuming everything works out well. Today is trial version.

But today, this is a special S/O to Calculusx and Oluwaseunla.
I'm not gonna write much, Like I said earlier bro wanted one of this, so I reached out to Oluwaseunla - he handled the PPI, and Calculusx ensured delivery to Calabar was prompt. Dear cartalk brothers, there's now an IS 250 to play around with.
