Lexus IS-F, Jaguar XF s/c V8, BMW M3, Audi S4, etc

Agreed
But don't you think these cars have the same maintenance issues??
I wouldn't touch a bmw m3 with a thousand metre pole, same for the jaguar

The benz seems more manageable
Audi not bad tho

Thanks for your thots tho
Appreciate

BTW, the IS is not in that league

HeavenlyBang:
See if you can get a 2014+ E550 Coupe. Runs circles around a C43 easily.

Thanks a bunch
But it's still a benz
I wanted other brands to do a better comparison
Thanks

[quote author=kingreign post=110132704]Except he bought a terribly damaged salvaged car or a lemon or his catalytic converters or some other stuffs were stolen from the car, it’s highly debatable.

It’s not bad to hype and give praise to something that appeals to us, this is what Mercedes’ Benz afficionados and owners are doing, but let’s not forget that in reality there exists better cars than a Mercedes Benz.

I don’t even own a toyota and I don’t fancy their very restrained design approaches but I must be very honest, they’re not extremely good cars.

Ok
I am actually sniffing around for a good benz (a bit sporty). But since you mention that there are other better brands (I didn't say benz is the best �), pls throw up some names.
Was actually considering c43......tnx

Cha cha tokunbo 2018 AMG now na 13m. If you doubt me, check this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/6470753/toks-mercedes-benz-c300-2018

So 2014 highest go be 7m

I dont think there is anything like c 300 AMG. For 2018, its c 300, the amg are the c43 and the c 63. The c 63 also comes with another package which is the c 63s.

Cheers

My Cla 45 Amg 2017 ...

Nice car, with great looks. Congrats

Good day pple, my c 230k is misfiring. When I push down the throttle, it misfires then gradually picks us. Its worst in reverse. Car been idle for a while. Any ideas

happydude:
Good evening everyone and happy Corona holiday... Please I am having issues with my c230 kompressor 05 model recently, I started seeing black smoke when I start the car early in the morning after few second I dont see it again and. I found out that the oil was 3.7ltr Instead of 6 ltr plus using the onboard digital oil gauge which I used. Please what can I do to fix the above issues... and again I tend to perceive foul smell when driving I believe from the exhaust ... thanks alot .

I suspect that your engine is showing signs that it needs a replacement. You can cross check with different mechanics to be sure of the problem. That can also be the reason you have reduction of your engine oil
As for the exhaust smell, you need to check your catalytic converter (indomie as we call it here). There are times it gets damaged and blocks the exhaust then you start perceiving something in the car itself. Hope this helps, cheer

9icetoo:
Fixed

Oga mi, it's quite fast ooohhh. At least for its mates

Essont:
But why? Apart from the power any other advantage? I personally won't like to go for a 6 cylinders just yet, and the C230k has just decent power per economy I actually only wanted to hear from the C230k 2005 model users experience here.

The c 230 k is a fantastic ride. It has its issues as every car does. I have owned one and have no regrets. Very fast and good fuel economy. Major issue is the engine does not tolerate heat, make sure u check for leaks as this will easily make car overheat. Once u on top of that, not much to bother about. It's a fun car, U'll enjoy it. Cheers

[quote author=Fentanyl post=86243198]then stick to your merzedes headaches, stay away from Toyota related discussions and silly naive comparisons

nobody really gives AF about merzedes, but when you start to make these comparisons that's where your problems


Dont make me laff. U dont give a fk about benz but spend all day on this thread, carefully reading n responding to different post?
On the contrary, I think u r quite obsessed with the benz not sure u spend this much time on ur jap thread(is it exists that is���)

Guy chill abeg, this is a benz thread.
If it worries you ,zap to the jap lane. Let us be, our benz, our problem.

xpertriate:

Thanks in anticipation of your quick response.

Nothing wrong with c230 2005, fantastic machine. Jst get a good one. Cheers

nwanneniressure:
na so baba.
Dem want drive benz but don't wanna pay appropriately for it.
Wanna psyche and bad mouth you into selling it to dem for less.
If you feel chealseafan1 is expensive,kindly go to your nearest car stand to buy it,if at all you will find one.
Baba register your car and enjoy it,by thr tjme you are done,you can still get circa 1.5m for it and you top whatever to get your c300.
Pure Satisfaction and great economics cos by the time you would have made more money,hence the spending will come from profits over the time being.
Goodluck mate

I have been driving this beauty for about 4 yrs now. U will appreciate the Benz more when u've used other brands. The car is superb handles fantastically well n has a lot of speed. Bro jst drive ur thing n enjoy ur car. Cheers

auztyno:
Plz sir who told u 2005 kompressor is faster than 06 c230 272 engine? Mind you 05 kompressor comes with 271 4plugs engine which I advice everyone I know to run from anyway it's a free world everyone is free to buy whatever u want to buy #nohardfeelings

Dont attack him unnecessirily, ultimately its a matter of choice. For the records, i personally own an 05 Kompressor. My friendsV6 06 model is childs play compared to mine in terms of speed. B4 he gets 100km am way beyond 150. Cant compare. FACT

bhlynks:
Good day house, i need your help on this please. I saw a clean Tukumbo Mecedes Benz C230 Kompressor 2006 model last week and was about to seal a deal with the car owner then suddenly my friend got to know about it and advised to go for the V6 sport instead of the Kompressor. His reasons were Kompressor is more problematic and our mechanics do not understand it.
Help me decide pls. Thank you as you respond.

Not true, been using one for close to three yrs now. Absolute beauty, wonderful car

@Barrackobamer, I use the c 230 2005 model kompressor, I never knew all these while I was jst suffering with the japs. The car is d bomb, very reliable n has good fuel economy better than honda n toyota. Performance wise, it handles absolutely well n has good power even though 1.8 horse power engine. If u can, its a good buy 4 me. I bought it when I saw good reviews by auhanson, eyop, cne1 n all d good fellas doing wonders on this thread. Cheers

teekay77:
The delay by National Assembly in passing the 2015 budget was a major factor..... Since this was finally passed last week, i believe we should expect some news from NERC sooner than thought (my opinion anyway)

Not so sure about dat ma bro, NERC is a revenue generating agecy hence it pays its staff and runs itself from within. Dere is only 1 item contained under the proposed min of power budget for 2015 for NERC, cant remember the sub head n its jst about N200 mill. Annual budget 4 Nerc. Shld b 6-7.5 billion less capital. Budget definitely not the issue here. Lets hope 4 d best. Cheers

Interestingly it seems info on Zonal recruitment is true afteral. Was told letters were offered few wks back, but dont know their present status ie whether they hav reported n workin or not. HQ, not so good news, seems board r yet to agree on who gets invited, (want candidates selected). Also main consultants might hav compromised (cant say more). Sorry to disappoint, but story might hav an unwanted ending. Lets keep hopes alive n hav faith. Cheers

Hi, I was jst informed that the nxt interview for HQ recruitment is scheduled for January 2015. Pls anyone with contact in NERC shld help confirm. Cheers

@opuama,Theres absolutely no reason for any to come to a virtual platform n begin to lie jst because u want to impress. Besides this is an anonymous forum, true identity hidden cant impress who u dont know.U r free to believe wat u want but nothing fake about most of the info shared here, its human beings dat work in NERC n not spirit. Dis forum was created to share information n dats exactly wat we r doing, best of luck everyone. Cheers

@jbzzyy's info is not surprising to me at all. U guys need to look at the bigger picture. Hav it on good authority that mid-late 2013 some pple were recruited into Nerc, one reason was their states had little or no representation, my other source said they were from Oga @ the very top. There is massive pressure on the board 4 candidates. Let's hope it goes well for all of us. Cheers

@Gorimakpa, was told top 5 in every position were invited 4 d interview, in my case we r 4. Only one sucessful candidate for each position will eventually be given the job. We'll see how it goes. Cheers

Been diggin up for info n came across news that really surprised me. Jst found out that an Assistant Manager earns a whooping N9 mill (p.a.) aat NERC, if I wasn't sure of my source I'd say na lie but believe me guys this is for real. House has been a bit quiet lately thot I shld share might ginger us more. Cheers everyone n good luck in ur interview, dont forget to share ur experience.

Jst received my mail, am scheduled 4 13 Nov.Wish all of us good luck. Cheers

Pls all y'all who made it to d interview stage, were u asked to bring along ur c.v n credentials........pls guys reply...cheers

Dude posting stuff dat he scored highest in N.E. is false. No point posting things without gettin ur fact right n misinformin d house. Sayin u d highest wit 35% is totally wrong. Am frm d same zone n 4 managerial n scored well above 55% n there might b many more , some might not be registered with dis platform. Am told interview is 4 lag candidates. Abj candidates hav not started receiving invites. Will let u in on any info. Cheers

Congrats to all invited. Seems most of u did ur test in Lag, any Abuja candidate been invited.......jst wondering.

HQ update. Like some one posted in previous page, only candidates that scored 50% and above will be called for d next stage .this was approved by the board of NERC. No date yet on interview, heard they r workin on staff promotns n will probably call for the interview after that. Cheers.

Here are a few pics dat were sent to me wen I bought d car, car shld b wit me in a few hours

Hi guys, am new here. Just bought a c230 2005 kompressor bssed on very good reviews it has on this platform. I will post d pics in a few hours.
Can I use total products on d benz?
Where can I get original mobil 1 in abuja, heard there a lot of fake products around.
Need ur input pls. Cheers

@miranda, seems d results didnt come at once. I made an earlier post for results of analyst which were poor as well. Its for all advertised positions, results generally poor. Lets c how it goes. Cheers
