Please save more and buy clean title foreign used. I currently use a Benz, have driven this ride for 3 years and have never regretted my choice. Please note, everything is still on point. People who say a Mercedes is a luxurious ride obviously don't own one. The brand offers durability and optimally maximizes fuel usage.

Before you'd replace any part, it would take ages. Just make sure you get one in excellent condition. Totally worth the save and purchase.

Don’t mind them. Toyota is just agolo car for Africans. Mass-market vehicle. Easily stolen. I missed my CLS 550. Sold it when I got good deal.
All the time I spent in Europe, I would have counted 200 European brands before seeing one Toyota. They don’t use it over there.

Your first car shouldn't be benz.


Save more and go for foreign used Honda civic.

I don't recommend Toyota based of theft, though civil is better.

Do not worry Civic legs doesn't pull.

Thank me later.

Lol .
How old is your car?(probably not very old)
How much do you drive?(probably daily commute to work and back)
What kind of parts are you getting?since it might still be not very old ,definitely fake parts haven't flooded the markets yet.(mercedes durable?nah...)
Where do you live?(probably you've got paved roads and all...
Mercedes and economy have absolutely nothing in common,nothing!
Give yours time and you'll understand what I am saying,ages indeed!
Mercedes durable? undecided If you want durability buy a hilux as no luxury car can give you that,none!
Coupled with bad naija technicians that will even help the car age faster grin
We'll have this talk again soon,by that time you might have begin to understand a thing or 2 about luxury cars.I was like you some years back sadly till I saw different and changed goals.
Op better abandon that thing right now,unless you came to this world to achieve repair bills cos it's inevitable.
Coming from someone that has owned a lot of them with a wealth of experience,I'd say if I am going back(which I will) to mercedes,I don't think I will go for anything less than a brand new one or atleast very few years old(not more than 4 yrs.

Lol, logobenz? Someone said you drove your kompressor as if you were moving a haulage truck cheesy. Na you kill that car.

Just imagine your mentality?
Your fellow citizen wanna buy a car, but you have made your mind up that he is into fraud! shocked
You are calling him a fraudster and you don't know anything about him?
And you will turn around blaming other people for the misery around you.
So in your mind , a youth cannot make it in a legit way to buy a car of around $3000 without going into fraud?And you will end up condemning SARS for doing the same thing. Shouting End SARS everywhere just last year!
Shouting End Sars cause they keep disturbing Naija youths dressing well and riding good cars, not knowing that all of us aren't thieves, scammers or fraudsters!
FYI, we still have honest and hardworking Nigerians around.
And you are here calling someone you don't know jack about a yahoo boy!
May God forgive you!
Well, The earlier you change your mentality, the better for you.


It's all in their mentality.
It's just so sad to read!


OP,
Take this advice below,
But we know at the end of the day,
You will follow your heart,
