Take it to any of the LACVIS centres in Lagos, let them test your vehicle suspension.

I'm not in lag boss. This is really wearing me down

Nice breakdown but are you sure about the 30k fuel in month? How often do you drive ? part because my Camry 2013 v4 takes 8k to fill up. And gets 22mpg. Most toks V6 get about 12 to 15 mpg

You don't get the philosophy of Benz or owning a Benz....Benz doesn't consume fuel but you shouldn't be focused on fuel consumption

You should be focused on

Durability
Handling
Safety
Luxury
And reliability


Economy is the last ....

What about his dad?

The parts are expensive. Worst still, there are many fakes out there. So if you are not careful you will buy the same parts multiple times. Similar poblems that are fixed with 20k to 25k in a Honda or Toyota could cost you 100k plus in the car.

It's even worse when you make use of direct Mercedes-Benz workshops for fixes. Just a detailed scan could cost you 75k (speaking from experience). The only thing that is cheap in those workshops is regular annual maintenance which is around 35k including synthetic oil and oil filter.

Thanks for answering.

I'm getting a GL550 and was curious about your experiences. I do most of my own work and have source for OEM MB parts. You should invest in a scanner, they're cheap now.

Great automobile that one but I have seen friends buy it then sell 2 - 3 years after to get 2013 Toyota Camry SE. Truth is Cars are supposed to be replaced like we do our mobile phones but the economy don get comma now. My advice is be a good driver and maintain your car well during duration of use with you. Clean vehicles have good resale value regardless but Toyotas na Oga boss for Nigeria.

It's a good car. If u can afford it u can maintain it

Activist001:

Your stupidity is outstanding. So someone should not plan how a car would be maintained before buying?

Nothing wey person no go see for this nairaland.

Who is this buffoon?

Have you ever seen anyone who wants to buy a Rolls Royce asking why its fuel consumption is high!

I travel twice a month with it and you can see the average from the chart below, for the mpg I will have to check the dash board tomorrow

You have probably never owned a car in your life so I don't think you know shit about cars. Don't mention me again please. Thanks.

The Cars Profs in the house. I need your assessment on this particular car. Mercedes Benz C300. I need the pros and cons of this car of based on the conditions of the Nigerian Roads, Fuel rate consumption, Spare part availability in the Nigerian Market (Ladipo and Co.). Your assessment would be highly appreciated because I am thinking about copping one.

P.S:- I also noticed people often sell it after using it for 1-3 years. Could there be any problems ? Tell me things(problems) to encounter if I should buy the car this week!.

Thanks in Advance!

Are u a yahoo boy?

After refueling a your full tank have ever been stuck in Lagos Traffic for hours and you forgot to refill or the filling stations you are used to closes for the day before you got to your house at the dead hour in the night?

EgunMogaji2:


Buying a car is a personal choice but if I’m forced to have an opinion I’ll say buy this specific one if it meets all your requirements.

It’s a California car. A big plus.

Please if I may ask, what's the plus about a California Car?

I have been seeing the Lexus more frequently these days. Seems people are buying the car more. That means there is something unique about the car. My only problem is just the see through boot

Mercedes anytime any day... Before you buy a car you should have made your inquiries on Google first... So if nairalanders tells you not to buy the car is that how you will obey and not buy it...

If you buy it today bro, we will congratulate you and we will leave you and your mechanic plus including your rewire alone, but my candid advise is that you should plan to get small Toyota or Nissan product with it if you are bouyant enough sir, best of luck

temitimx19:
I drive the same car and the same colour in fact. I must say the car is a good car, drives smoothly and very fast. If you want to go for this car you need to consider your location and how good your roads are in your area.
If your location is prone to flooding and you area has bads road I won't advise you to go for it, because the car is very low, when I got mine from the US, the tyres that came with it, were almost new low profile tyres, the way it was always hitting the ground, my mechanic advised me to go for high profile tyres, which was the best decision so far.
Concerning fuel consumption, I spend an average of 30k monthly and my full tank cost about #10k and when I drive with AC switched on it covers 200km.

Cons
Mercedes benz parts are expensive my headlights cost 100k, 1 plug coil cost about 10k, last time I serviced my car it cost me about #53k (2pcs of Mobil 1 + 3k for the mechanic)

Overall
I am satisfied with the car, its durable, has premium finishes, very comfortable to drive in, accelerates very fast, my cruise control is bae, seats are all electronically adjustable, very smooth and silent when driving and the AC is chilling.

Below is my fuel consumption expenses chart and my distance covered

There are 2 cars in the pic you attached to your post.
Which of both cars are u specifically referring to?
What are their differences?

Lastly, how did you get that chat with the fuel consumption, milage?

Pls reply.

Don't drive it into flood water. You will regret it.

The Car on the right with a diamond grille is mine. They are the same thing same c300 4matic, only difference is that I changed my grille, I wanted something more aggressive.

I use drivvo app on my phone, I just input the fuel price, fuel amount, litres, milage, location, and any other expenses I incurred and the app does the rest.
