What of the Naija used ones?

Surely you can't expect people to sell their cars for cheap and buy replacements at wicked prices?

Custom duty is still calculated at almost 1500/$

Also, cars can take like two months to arrive Nigeria. It's still early for any price changes.

This your number get as e be.

Probably American cars.

Been in quite a few Mercs, own one even, AC isn't anything special.

ZDX, Infiniti FX, Acura TL, Mercedes E350.

Well, it's not a bad list assuming they buy quality parts.

They probably won't, though.

Anonymousbobo:
Good day bosses, I’m looking to buy my first car with a budget of around 4-5M, though I have a good experience with cars but I need the OGs advice and choices on the best car I can get in that range
Nigerian used or foreign used any of them
I had a Honda accord 2010, a Toyota Camry 2010 and some Hyundai or Kia series in mind I really don’t like the Toyota Corolla series

It's a bit sad but that budget is on the low side for cars in Nigeria now. I've seen people selling Nigerian ES330s for 5m, for example. Not sure you can even see any toks car for 5m if it has duty.

2015 GLK landing cost should be about 16m now.

CavendishPlex:
.

Onn available?

CLA barely counts as a Merc.

Since it's not a daily, E350 for sure.

50-55k per week.

Battery s battery..I don't care for brand but care for new ones. All depends on ur maintenance. My battery s 3 years plus & s still strong & serving me..

E go die very soon.

Pretty sure tint permits aren't being issued anymore and haven't been in a long time.

BALLOSKI:
Infiniti G37? Any reason why you have it on the list?

Because it's a great fuckin car innit.

Balistic4:

Thanks a lot for the I formative feedback. Nice rim you got there

Thanks.

BALLOSKI:
men, you de burst my brain.

I'm considering the following

1.dodge charger or challenger(2010 upward)
2.LS460(Lexus)
3. E550(because of how you take describe am)
4. IS250(2010-2015)

Considering your budget, I'd probably go with

- Infiniti G37
- Acura TL
- 2012+ C350

Balistic4:

Would you consider this as a daily driver? Any regrets so far? Any costly fix so far? Has there been parts availability? Are they that costly? I currently get about 16mpg from my es350 and I don't mind getting a v8 with similar mpg as you posted on page 1.

Daily driver depends on the roads you ply. Good roads are fine, bad roads definitely not. You go fix suspension tire.

For the first 18 months I had this, it was my only car and my area didn't have the best roads. Had a lot of suspension issues, mostly control arms and stabilizer links.

I bought an FX after and started only driving this to places I was sure didn't have bad roads + our roads were all fixed. It's been over a year and I haven't had any suspension issues again.

Otherwise, it's mostly been regular maintenance. I've had to replace my alternator, starter motor, and the battery in the three years I've owned this, though. But that's standard for a car around the 100k mile. Parts are available, since it shares quite a lot of parts with the W204.

Good car. Still eye catching. Still commands respect, and is still an absolute blast to drive.

Nothing special. Parts are everywhere.

Watch out for transmission failure.

my bro 09 is good


They are all same engine but you didn't tell us if it's a bluetech

Same engine ke.

VIPAFRICAN:
Good day Nairalanders. Been wanting to get a New ride and my budget is 16-20m. Pls I need your suggestions on the best ride to buy for that amount. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated 🙏

Newest Accord you can find.

Port443:
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.
