Guys am about to get my first car I saw a good price foreign used C300 2016 for 8.5 and ML 350 2013 for Nigerian used for 7.5m
Which do you guys advice based on the maintenance culture, performance and the condition of the Nigerian road.
I love the interior of the c300 thou ��

If your budget is strong enough, avoid Nigerian used

More wins in advance boss, I'll advice you go for the ML350, it's a V6 engine that is reliable, I've not seen this engine fail in my experience as a tech.
C300 uses an inline 4 turbocharged, which was somewhat a disaster. The engine is a renowned faliure.

So the ML is more reliable right? Thanks

A C300 for 8.5m almost definitely doesn't have duty paid. Even if it does, I would never recommend a C300. Crappy engine.

An ML for 7.5m is fine if it's in absolute tip-top shape.

C300 engine is a crappy engine?
But the ML 350 2013 is Nigerian used and In great condition I have Mercedes expert checked it and they said its fine

The ML straight straight
