Gurus in the house, kindly compare 2013/2014 bmw 535i with 2016 infiniti q60 red sport. I'm looking for something that is pocket friendly, runs very well with a little tuning and has very good reliability. The infiniti rs is a bit rare but I can still opt for any 3.0l variant and tune it.

Cc nurey heavenlybang kingreign

Buy the 5 series. 2014+.

Easier to own in Nigeria, easier to tune, just all-round a better car as well.

udy4real:

The vehicle has been at a workshop in Umuahia for over 6 months and I can’t drive the car back to Lagos for proper diagnosis
The guy has been doing one thing or the other since then but last week, he now called me to tell me that he has been able to scan the vehicle and we need to change the ISM MODULE TRANSMISSION CONTROL FOR ML 350.
I am just very tired and frustrated with the whole thing,for a vehicle I have barely used since two years ago It was sent from Canada

Quite common with those cars.

nakoks:

W164 vs W166

All Benz reliable buy the one your money reach and maintenance can carry. Good luck

Hi guys,

I’m thinking of selling my ML350 upgraded to GLE, black on dark interior, pano roof, steering upgraded too for 10.8m, offer on ground. And getting a Foreign used GLE350 with almost similar features but a cream interior and rare exterior color (can’t place it but it looks gorgeous) for 24m.

Does that make sense to you guys? Should I go for something else? Is the ML underpriced too?

Lemme know what you folks think.

Horrible, horrible deal.

lomaxbien:
Thanks,but i imported it to sell tho,so who ever makes a good offer takes it

Price?

lomaxbien:
Q50

Nice!

BALLOSKI:
Bro, how's or did this guy(e550) treat you?

So far so good.

Dienasun:

Thank you so much, that 100k na how many months e dey take to spend it again? As in after fixing the issues, how long till they arise again, provided that i maintain the car properly?

I meant 100k miles, sorry.

Dienasun:
Hello guys, i want to buy my first car which is the w204. Please i need your help on
1. which issue comes up the most in the car, so that i will be ready for it.
2. Am I missing out on anything on the facelifted version? Or na body difference only.
3. Most importantly, na used one i wan buy. What are the main things i should check e.g say driving a high mileage car, like at what mileage should i be worried for a w204.
4. Lastly those that have a w204 (any version) please i would like to hear some of your experiences before and after buying the car 😁.

Thank you all.

Sorry for the long questions 😊🙏

Buy the facelift. It's significantly better inside.

Check suspension, AC, electronics, starter motor, and the other usual inspection points.

I have an E550 Coupe which is built on the W204 platform. Most issues I've had have been electrical (battery drain, starter motor, alternator). All around the 100k like mark.

CaptblackV12:
No update for here again

Lol, I dey drive my car na, which update again.
I don't drive it as much as my FX, though, since that one is much more of a "go anywhere" vehicle.

It'll soon be time for another oil change.

nairamaniac:

Hi, over the years, for past 3years have you found out bout the twaeks that were made on the M274 engine to have made it better/stronger than the M271 engine?
I guess the problem with that W271 was that it cudnt withstand OVERHEATING? That overheating can destroy the engine.


Also can we really say this M272 is better than them both in totality?
I guess they are all 4Matics.
Are these 272 not the ones that have balance shaft problem(if I'm not mistaken)?

Also the M272 I believe consumes much more fuel than the straight 4cylinder M274 engines?

M272 had balance shaft issues in the first two years, yes. Otherwise, a rock solid engine. It's pretty much the same as the M273 on my car but with two less cylinders.

Pythagoras001:
you can always do the conversion since you know the fuel density. Working with mass at this velocity close to zero one can safely and correctly assume conservation of mass. The central idea is Just don't compare apples with oranges, meters with yards. Smart people have done this calculations before and you can use their results as a starting point instead of reinventing the wheel. I am only writing this for educational purpose and not trying to sound arogant or trying impress anyone.

You're writing utter nonsense. This experiment is designed to show a cost vs value ratio, nothing else.

Oversabi.

TheBTCinvestor:



How's ur yeye G35x 2007..I'm sure u still have it hahahaha

You're trying incredibly hard to make me know you. I don't, and I have no interest in doing so.

Now scutter along, lil man.

kingreign:
Heavenlybang, nurey, Diportivo, there you have it. It’s one of the many reasons why cars are so so expensive in Nigeria. Prearranged agreement to have cuts for long chain connections of car agents and dealers. This will naturally mean everybody who has a link in this chain has an interest in it thereof and this will in-turn drive the price up considerably. I’m not concerned with your counter claims or argument but this right here is part of what gets an average Nigerian prospective car buyer frustrated.

Not sure what your point is. Business is business, middlemen and agents exist in every part of the world.

It's up to a buyer to do due diligence on market prices.

Replace the crossed out with I. Do not refer to yourself in the third person. Na sign say small small problem dey.

Deigofortune:
Hi
Good evening House...
Pls I Ur suggestion here... I'm planning buying a new Car but I have this 2 to pick from...and need U guys advice

Honda Civic 2014
Acura Txs 2012

TSX for sure.

That's a neat facelift job.

Benbastic:
Good day experts in the house, please can u advice, i want to get a Nigerian used car for bolt business. Between Benz 230 and corrolla all 206 models which is more advisable and fuel efficient for the business. Thanks

Better buy the Corolla.

Jobmedubi:
Bosses in the house. Please I need your recommendations on which car to pick among these cars. They are all tokunbo cars and are within my budget. I know the Camry is more reliable but considering the year of manufacture not sure if it's the right call.

2013 Hyundai sonata

2012 ford edge

2009 Toyota Camry

I am once again recommending a 2013 Accord.

Nadingo:
The last generation of the ML350 started in 2011 and I have seen some of them around that were pretty facelifted and giving the 2019 GLE (I think) body kit. Though people do it, but I don't think it's a wise financial decision. Boils down to choice sha.

2011 ML is a W164.

Manuella4ace:


Good upgrade, but check for rust underneath and the door doors. The engine in the pix, m111 c200 kompressor.
It's a beats, hope catalyst is intact if not, you go dey ready to buy fuel oo.
Be careful with your cooling system, use coolant, and make sure there's no leakage.

Nah strong car be that.

Cats have nothing to do with fuel economy AFAIK.

What the hell is a Korean catalyst?

.

AutoManual:
Enugu has quacks all over the town, yet to find any professional mechanic that knows it onions like Lagos and other states. Even major markets like camp. You will find 80% of People who don't believe in thermostat claiming the country weather is hot. Try and error. You hardly find one using computer or scan tool.

At least their would have been a reputable mechanic from Enugu in nairaland like Lagos.

There are good mechanics in Enugu, don't be ridiculous.

Bizbitz:
Good evening house.

Lexus Is250 or es330 which one will go for fuel economy, maintenance and durability?

Which one will you choose if you intend to keep the car for long let’s say 3 to 5 years.

Thanks

I'd buy a Honda Accord.

Mercedes.

Lol, what a joke.

TT20:
Please house, I'm considering a 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. Please are there what to look out for ? Please educate me. Thanks

Not worth it.

Softbby123:
BMW joor .



I avoid men that drive Toyota .

You wen no get one naira dey avoid who get car.

Lol, who be this one.

9icetoo:
