where do you get the parts from ? can you confirm if I can get same for my V-boot dat same price?
I get my parts here in Ilorin. Although the man had to get the tail light cover from Lagos on order. The light should be around the same price for v-boot.

You can get some advice from any good 'rewire' around you.

Am in need of a vehicle I've searched for an affordable car, I eventually saw a neat Vboot one door going for 150k. the engine and body is in perfect condition. I knw little about cars so I need your advice

is Vboot a good choice? considering cost of maintaining and fueling the vehicle I also intend to travel a lot with the vehicle if I eventually buy it. how tough is the vehicle on the rough Nigerian road ?
Any car can be good and any car can be bad.

I've seen 2 year old Nissan that were falling apart due to lack of maintenance.

An older Mercedes i snot the kind of car you buy because you need a car per see but something you buy because you love Mercedes and can deal with some of the stuff that may come up.

My recommendation would have been to have a good mechanic check it out of you properly.

Enjoy your car but take good care of it and it will repay you with good service.

Good luck.

There's an advert about a 190 on page 0 of this thread.
Also you should open a new thread on your search on car talk section directly, it would aid your search.

I can't remember if we talked about your transmission type but if it's Automatic, always switch to neutral gear when you are in holdup.It works well for me & it's good practice for an auto transmission.

Wow!! I love ur 200 benz...is cool but I bet u, my 230E is more finer dan urs...It was my first car , but I still cherish her, d factory fitted ac is d best, mortury standard and d fuel consumption is ok, although I converted from injector to carbulator....can go a whole month without servicing.....@ OP...I love ur coupe, is neat, hope is nt jerking...dats what made me to convert my injector den
Wow.your car looked exactly like mine, although it belong to my Dad.
He parked the car for almost 5yrs and I wanna revive the car, I've done alot of work on the car, yet the car is still jerking. I've changed the fuel pump twice and cleaned the injector, yet same problem.

They said I should change it to Carburetor, but I don't know if it's a good move.
