Benz and economizing don’t go together.

Must u drive benz becos u wan impress. Na still used car.las las. Go and buy toyota or lexus. Leave benz alone it is not 4u.its funny how half baked undergrads liter here. No where that a v6 engine is economical. The mpg of benz is dead. Around 14to 16mpg. That's too little for heavy weight car.go and buy lexus. Naija fuel.minus another 5mpg. So ud be on 10 to 12mpg .and with that.u go buy fuel taya.sha no on AC...

2010-2011 w164, 2012-2015 w166, 2 good cars prices are very far apart

I have Toyota Camry 2011 already just wanted to upgrade to an SUV and I needed advice that's why.
And besides Lexus is also using V6 so are you saying it's own V6 is more economical than the benz V6 due to the horse power or weight?

If its fuel.look for a 2.4l v6 engine suv. Sadly the only ones are too old for guy like u,like old highlander till 06 model,lexus rx newest models wich is too cost.......subaru. get a mini cross over like bmw ,honda hrv new model,etc. Leave benz alone. But if u want to buy benz.pls buy the old model from 2007 till 2011 model.old engine..very strong and rugged. Newer models engine vewi fragile and just put fake oil lasan.kiss the benz goodbye at scrap price.

But my 2008 is also having battery drain issues when I park for over 3-4 hours

The lifespan of a new car battery is only 2 years.anything putside 2 years,your battery starts to cry for change. Nigeria is too hot and this also affects battery lifespan...heat from car.heat from engine bay..hest from asphalt .over time it gets dried up and cant hold power. Get yourself a new battery.dont let rewire scatter anything 4u. Lastly abt 95% of the car batt sold in naija are super 100%copy/cloned/counterfeit. So give yourself like a year and a half from the day u mount the battery to your car.

I thought that it might be due to the battery so I got a brand new battery but the same thing is still happening and when I park and remove one battery terminal it doesn't run down and starts immediately

Wel thats a rewires work. Hr shud csrry his tester be it bulb or meter.a loose wire is somewhere making contact. Pls make sure they dont cut all the wires oh..like rats.

Wow this is so sad to hear
But this one was brought from Canada as Tokunbo by my elder brother so I know the source
Don't know what really to do now but I know that if the vehicle was in Lagos it would have been easy to get very good and reliable rewires but here they only do trial and error
It is well

Do it yourself. Buy multimeter.connect to negative and the other connect to the coils and wires.if it drops then u have found the culprit. Parasitic drain no hard to detect.had it been u dey lag.e for no hard.check youtube videos on ml 350 para drain.no waste time

I will try to get a multimeter soon bcuz I would be going to Lagos this weekend and hopefully to come back here sometimes in October and try this suggestion
I really appreciate

Boss what of C300 4matic Benz 2015 model, it's a 2.4l in line 4 engine, how's the durability and maintenance of it. Is it a good one to go for whether through toks or neatly naija used

Avoid that car. It uses same engine with GLC

Those engines don’t do to well here in Nigeria, it had a design flaw and our fuel further accelerates its death leading to catastrophic failures ( most times the engine block is seriously affected and a replacement would be needed) and it isn’t cheap also, get a C400 instead
