Poster, avoid trouble. Go for Camry jeje. We spent 650k repairing Benz C300 recently. Yet we didn't change gear nor engine. Just repair! Also consider resale value when u get bored with the car after some years. U will thank me later. I'm talking from experience. But u are free to decide on whatever u want. Good luck!

AntiWailer:
No mind them.


Person wey never chee chomtin before go dey make mouth. They think you must always be at the other side of every argument.

Wen they give u repair bill ur face go calm down

AntiWailer:
Yea it is easy to say. Until it happens.

May be next time u read the original post before concluding.

If your younger brother has a budget of 2million and he is particular about maintenance. Advise him to get a Benz over a Camry.

Negligence like driving along a normal Lagos road and flood meets u inside the traffic.

The argument is not which is better or preferable. It is about a low budget Benz and maintenance compared with a Camry of the same value.

dokiOloye:
Obviously, U don't own nor know anything about d benz.
If we're talking about low budget benz,I can authoritatively tell you that the parts are cheaper than that of a Camry of d same age.
Compare d prices of parts,including d engine of let's say a year 2000/2001 C class and a Toyota Camry of d same age and get back to us.
Ask and U will learn a new thing today.

dokiOloye:
Dem don chop U
List d things U repaired and d prices make I give U d Ladipo and Abj prices make we compare.
Unless say U knowingly abuse Ur car sotey e turn to Volkswagen beetle 1500 b4 U commenced it's resurrection

Kindly unfollow this thread and don't comment again make we face d person wey dem open office for him head.

wat year of park and drive Benz will 2 million get ?

Ford explorer 2013 limited edition bought brand new when bought.

And yes most explorers have that problem. It is a normal problem after a while.

When u see a check engine light on most ford, scan and the machine will read catalytic converter.

riversproperty:
Na true oo.Benz is seriously expensive.i have been searching through olx and jiji since yesterday but see the options I am having with Benz at my budget range and it's really discouraging

So this is the Benz ? preferred over Camry 2010 ?

That guy taking it personal might be a mechanic he needs a victim.

Depending on the offer and the seller,2m can comfortably buy a Benz from 2003 and above..not even including distress sales.
As per the 2013 Ford explorer,I wonder how a brand new car would have such problems in less than 4 years.I believe warranty covers New Ford vehicles for at least 5 years or 60,000 miles whichever comes 1st?? American cars are known to be rugged.it takes a while for even a 1998 Benz to develop steering rack issues under the same condition..

AntiWailer:
2003 vehicle in 2017 ? I am done.

And why are u comparing an Electronic Assisted Power Steering Rack with a manual rack in a 1998 Benz na wao.

As for other stories on warranty and your theory on cars that i see everyday, I won't waste my energy. Talk to coscharis or Briscoe.

Alexgray:
EPAS has been in use even before 2013..nothing so special,it's just the absense of hydraulic pump so what's so special about that? No need talking to coscharis or Briscoe about warranty,cos it should be right there in the glove compartment. I can't buy a 2013 Benz and 3yrs later,the dealership would be asking me to pay for shock absorber rubber,catalytic converter and steering rack and I won't ask questions..why didn't I buy tokunbo instead? or except u bought it tokunbo and later took it to Briscoe when it developed issues

AntiWailer:
You know au to derail argument.

1998 Benz does not use EPAS modern cars use period.

1. Ford explorer part Warranty stop at 3 years. The last year (that makes it 4 years) is basically changing engine oil and stuffs.

2 not all parts are included in the warranty. Catalytic converter is not included.

3. Based on your mileage the percentage of parts covered by Ford decrease.

Guess you have never bought a new car that is why it looks like a big deal to you and the reason you are so glued to your theory , perception and stupid assumption that I was talking about tokunbo taken to Coscharis

When u say leave coscharis and Briscoe out, which other approved Ford dealer will sell a brand new Ford to u in Nigeria ?

Get out of your 2003 and 1998 mentality in discussing maintainable cars please.

Alexgray:
Many vehicles use electronic power assist ..it's not peculiar to Ford.it's has been in use since 1965.Ford labelled it own EPAS..and yes 1998 Benz does not use.

Find attached a warranty page from Ford and kindly read more about warranty, it's more than 3 years or 36 000 miles whichever comes 1st,but since u were not the one who bought the said car,u can be excused.
Even if u claim catalytic converter is not included,whatever happened to steering rack

Based on mileage percentage decreases for any new car,it is not peculiar to Ford

You obviously aren't familiar with gettin new cars ,one can import without coscharis or Briscoe.
In 2011,a brand new Venza 2011 was imported,everything including landing cost was 8.8m.till date with 43,000 miles,no major repair just routine service.
Kindly provide screenshot of mileage and invoice for the said 2013 Ford explorer..I don't think that should be hard..

You don't have to result to insult,and thuggery to force your beer parlour talks down our throats

EPAS has been in use even before 2013..nothing so special,it's just the absense of hydraulic pump so what's so special about that? As far as u are concerned,EPAS is one special program installed in the explorer so it's replacement should be expensive.No need talking to coscharis or Briscoe about warranty,cos it should be right there in the glove compartment. I can't buy a 2013 Benz and 3yrs later,the dealership would be asking me to pay for shock absorber rubber,catalytic converter and steering rack and I won't ask questions..why didn't I buy tokunbo instead? or except u bought it tokunbo and later took it to Briscoe when it developed issues.I can authoritatively tell u,provided your claim is true,if this person bought a 2013 ML 350 d same year he bought the explorer,till date,he would be telling u dat all he has been doing is routine maintenance.But I still doubt a Ford explorer bought new would have such issues in less than 3 years..I don't rule out the possibility of factory error,but I seriously doubt.if I see a screen shot of the invoice and receipt though,it would help my curiousity
