Did you even bother to carefully read and understand what he said there?
So you’re inferring that people paid huge sums of money to buy problematic cars and lemons
Well to each, his own!

bros you know some times we just let things slide....

I said about premiums... Every car dey get problem..


A friend bought 2016 Camry just last month... He Don spend over 300k fixing stuff...

I have driven my Benz... For over a year now the car never get problem, not even changing sarpemtine belt the only thing I do is oil change which is once in 6 months.... Unlike when I was driving Japanese, it is either stabiliser linkage, legs, tyros, arms etc...


It all boils to maintainance culture... Even tesla get his problem

No car is perfect

Except he bought a terribly damaged salvaged car or a lemon or his catalytic converters or some other stuffs were stolen from the car, it’s highly debatable.

It’s not bad to hype and give praise to something that appeals to us, this is what Mercedes’ Benz afficionados and owners are doing, but let’s not forget that in reality there exists better cars than a Mercedes Benz.

I don’t even own a toyota and I don’t fancy their very restrained design approaches but I must be very honest, they’re extremely good cars.

Ok
I am actually sniffing around for a good benz (a bit sporty). But since you mention that there are other better brands (I didn't say benz is the best �), pls throw up some names.
Was actually considering c43......tnx

See if you can get a 2014+ E550 Coupe. Runs circles around a C43 easily.

Agreed
But don't you think these cars have the same maintenance issues??
I wouldn't touch a bmw m3 with a thousand metre pole, same for the jaguar

The benz seems more manageable
Audi not bad tho

Thanks for your thots tho

Back to the same thing we are talking... You dey like argue

I have seen a video that someone burnt his tesla...

I have seen video that Toyota did tons of recall..


The fact is that there are premium cars maybe safety, features and handling makes it premium.... You must start understanding this bros... Ụna dey argue

It's like comparing Lamborghini Urus with Toyota highlander or comparing CLK AMG Benz with Toyota Celica or comparing Aston Martins with Honda Accord or comparing BMW X6 with Honda Crosstour


Why do you guys love arguing... In everything Here's premium

Tomorrow you will be comparing Harley Davidson bike with Bajaj or compare iphone12 pro max with some crapoy infinix note

Abeg try dey watch reviews of cars... Start with supercar blonde and others

I recently bought a brand new condenser on December, and I never drove that car since then. My technician told me I don't need a new one as the one is still very much good.

Okay good then.

Hope everything is good now.

That ride isn't AMG... they should yank off that badge... AMG doesn't do 550, their figures are in twos like M 63

Also Benz don't put their 4matic on the ground... It is always in the same line with the logo and AMG benz don't put 4matic badge


Now this is getting irritation... And look at the body... This ain't AMG

Is the picture same as the one you want to purchase? Ml550 is not an AMG. The badges are slapped on. I think the 550 also has square exhaust tips so this could be a 350 (I can be wrong). Do your research well and price accordingly. I expect great performance based on my current ml500 but downside is the old school dashboard which you can upgrade and maybe fuel consumption which is expected. Service A is like 60k and B like 150k-200k...check car service history well and make sure it's not high mileage...also check both SAM are still on point. Good luck
