Good people there is really no need of being insultive before making your points,that said, the OP has #1.5 budgeted for a benz c- class naija used without specifying what year he has in mind and asked for advice, imho, ego apart ,1992-98 c- class foriegn used in prestine condition are around #1.7- #1.9. They are very reliable ,parts are not out of the world in price, besides the engine and gear when properly maintained are bullet- proof.What more ,they are fuel efficient .You will find alot of them in lagos and abuja.Stay on your lane and enjoy,my two cents though.

FOREIGN OR USED YOU AND MECHANIC GO BE FRIEND LAS LAS, so far na Nigeria Road you go drive am

Baba... listen to this people that advice you on a corrola o.. or better still, get a 2008 civic.

You cannot be having headache with ur 1st car trust me... u go broke oo

It's good u follow ur hrt so you can learn from experience, but there is a very big but there, if you know say you no wan dey Waka dey talk to ur self for road leave 1.5m Benz alone go for Toyota, Benz is a very sweet car, if you wan enjoy Benz go for brown new tire leather na there you go see the true definition of Benz which u can not afford, bro put ur body for where u size if not u go regret am and u no go fit sell am reach 1m again

Marcedez maintenance is something else

emmyN:


The funny thing is the parts of mercedes for that year in question is much cheaper than Toyota Corolla of same year everyone is recommending.

I never recommended Toyota Corolla,i said German or japanese car's, several durable japanese car's aside from Toyota

Op, please buy the Benz you want if you can legitimately afford it. Go to car sites and Google it’s pros cons.

bukky1994:
Mercedes of 1.5m...... Are you sure it's in good condition?

The shocking thing here is no one has asked “what year is the car?
Is it c230 or c230k?
Could it be 1999,2000,2003,2006,2007 and yes you can get a good c230 with that amount.

Congratulations to you...

richeeyo:
Why do Nigerians have this stupid mentality that Toyota is the best car in the world, if you have ever driven a 2015/16 camry or corolla
You can never compare the drive experience with a 2010 bmw 328i or other German cars
Toyota as no Engine power, it's just economical but other cars too are,
Buy corolla na steal dem dey steal that one

BOSS! U JUST SPOKE MY MIND, I LOVE TOYOTA CARS. BUT THEY LOOK BORED AND LACK POWER, MY FRIEND HAD BEEN USING VOLKSWAGEN AND BENZ, HE TOLD ME IF I TRIED USING ONE I WILL NEVER USE TOYOTA AGAIN.

LAST YEAR OCT I GAVE IT A TRY BOUGHT A JETTA 2008 2.5L FSI. OMO THAT CAR NA MACHINE, GEAR 6 SPEED TRIPTONIC. KICK DOWN NA FIRE. RACE ME AND U ARE LEFT BEHIND.

THE LEGS AND TRACTION ARE SUPERB 9 MONTHS NOW.I NEVER VISIT ANY MECHANIC ON LEGS EXCEPT SERVICING.

BENZ TOO THE SAME. VERY STRONG AND RELIABLE. I NOW REALISE NIGERIAN MECHANICS ARE TOO LADY TO EXPLORE AND UPGRADE, ALL IS TOYOTA. BUT IN ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND SPEED GERMAN BRANDS OWN. IT.

WILL HADLY BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. IF AT ALL I WAN BUY MIGHT GO FOR LEXUS. BUT BENZ AND VOLKSWAGEN ALL THE WAY

1.5 for that car is in high side, Toks is 1.7 up.
I will advise u go for c240 2005 or c180 2004/05.
Also get a good Rewire(electrical artisan). Such car are rather bought new so u enjoy and encourage 1st users of such brand( if u buy Fairly mostly used 9ja u will join geng). That hates BENZ n. BMW. Am into BMW WORLD tho.

Barbsamiin:
Can you recommend a stocks for me and i'll go and research if its worth investing in?

I have not been following sticks religiously. I'm better of with land. I'm actually an estate surveyor. I can help there

Boss how much can one get VOLKSWAGEN JETTA foreign use 2008-2010

nevplus:

C230 is not v6, is an i4

That means u are looking at a c230 1.8 engine compressor, less fuel consumption true, a friend has one...He is really enjoying it but it was actually bought as an extremely clean toks at about 2.7 mils
....The car recommended engine oil is not cheap woh & it drinks almost 2 gallons too

So Europe better pass North America weh be One of toyota's largest market abi?
Abi na Europeans get taste and class pass middle East?
Or you want just tell us say you dey Europe?
Useless analogy.

Europe better pass America when it comes to car usage. Go and find out. Toyota only took technological prowess of the US so set up plants there to produce cheaply. Americans buy Toyota because it’s cheap on gasoline not that Toyota is stronger than Benz.

Thanks jare my brother. Poverty mentality is killing Nigerians and making them believe Toyota is the best car. They are not exposed at all. More so, Kazeem mechanic is blindfolding them with lies because he couldn’t upgrade to work on high-end cars.
When I bought 2010 Audi A4 and my wife that has been driving Toyota all her life drove to w car for some months, she wouldn’t feel great driving her 2014 Corolla again. We sold the Corolla to Kazeem-blindfolded lover of Toyota at higher price and bought 2010 Volvo X60 - another European machine. She has vowed not to use Toyota again.

Europe is there o, if you too wan go. I no stop you. Just trying to enlighten you people that don’t know what’s happening in other climes than what you are being fed with. Non exposure is part of what is killing Africa till today. If Europe is too expensive, take a trip to UAE and see how far you are behind in terms of everything. We only have more of Toyota mechanics in Nigeria. That’s why we fill Toyota is the best car. It’s not o. Our mechanics too pack modern day automobile experience and they also lack tools. So if you are trying to upgrade to another car brand, mechanics and friends will discourage you because they are ill m-informed.

Europe is not better than America when it comes to Cars,get that right .
So going by your "technological prowess" talk,of what benefit would it be to an industry to produce "cheaply" in a market that there exist no demand?
Toyota setup factories in the US because the demand was so huge to satisfy the market by imports from Japan only,so they setup there to increase profitability by legally evading duties and Import levies.
Same Americans that are known for demanding so much power from Vehicles so much so that most of their local manufacturers almost always put very big Engines in small cars and all types of power tunes and have some of the cheapest petrol prices in the developed world are the ones buying Toyotas because of Gas mileage? The last thing an average American checks out in a car is fuel consumption,know this
Americans buy Toyotas because it is reliable,wouldn't breakdown anyhow and repair bills don't need you to go rob a store and also cheaper insurance.
I am yet to see a Mercedes benz(any category) that can be as reliable as the Toyota Hilux or the landcruiser lc200, none.Even the luxurious LX570 sef.
I know we all have our necessary evils,own up that your fanboyhood of mercedes is one of those evils rather than paint it what it's not.
If you drive a Mercedes as an only car,your financial future will tell you if it was a wise choice or not,

Don't be too quick to assume dear friend,you don't know me or the places I've been

Good day. The only advice I can give you is to get a new insurance immediately after purchasing a car. For me, this was very important primarily because I had little driving experience. Therefore, onesureinsurance.co.uk they helped me with the solution of such a problem very quickly by issuing documents.
