Between the 2005 Mercedes benz c230 kompressor and the 2008 camry, which is a better option considering performance, fuel economy and reliability.
Bros Camry would not save him money in long run but Benz ...trust I know the reason j ran away from Japanese

My c class for the past 4 years I haven't even opened the engine ...the only thing I do is change oil and brakes

But Japanese it's tyrod today, bow joints tomorrow or jumping timing belt ( while Benz uses timing chain ) or leaking oil or stabilizer linkage or lower amp or engine sitting

Give worst us the blue smoke ! Japanese engines are not strong and their piston and rings weak ! Small time blue smoke

When was the last time you saw a Benz with a blue smoke....just keep watching

When was the last time you saw Benz in suspension failure


Japanese would not save you money at long run but it would save you money in the short run

Trust me

The engine of that camery is over 140k and it's not string the engine of c class or even the ML 320 I dey eye isn't upto 90k

Bros na true ... Benz or nothing now

Let's not go into argument please...this is a Mercedes Benz Thread ...thank you

Let us Benz gangs bask in our world....why not open a thread for that bro ...trust me I would be there
Bro, Calm down. It's a Benz thread, yes we know, d

1. Do I love Benz? yes I do.
2. Have I owned Benz? yes I have.
3. Is Benz currently being over hyped as the ultimate? Yes it is over hyped
4. What's the solution? Stop the blind biasness and face things objectively.

Copy that. Facts stated and i can’t help but agree with you. Is ok to buy a c class with mileage of over 180000km?

Well, the truth is that millage to me doesn't matter because a car that has 70k millage in city is even worst than a car that has 180k millage in freeway ! The more you hit a car in freeway the better

Benz has shown that even if it's above 150k millage it performance isn't affected because the engine is military grade and the quality of metals are great. ....that I know

I have Japanese ( Nissan American spec also ) so I have checked and I have seen differences. Well it depends on over hyped because the last time I checked the cars most VIP and presidents even your president uses are Benz...maybe you are more smarter than these tons of people and the world that acknowledged Benz!

It's one of the finest engines ever made not the best though...we have Aston Martin, Rolls Royce , Range etc but bringing Japanese to this talk is like comparing an agama lizard with a crocodile

Both are reptiles agreed but they don't have the same capacity please it's a Benz thread ...once again sir

There are serious reliability issues with the newer Mercedes Benz marques..... Some that you'll never expect to find in a company with the reputation of Mercedes Benz.

That being said I am unrepentantly Benz addicted..few compares with the Benz in the overall drive comfortability

2008 Camry will save you money on the long run. But Toyotas are not Benz the feeling inside the car is different from all other cars. If you drive a Benz and after a Camry you will see the Camry is kind of inferior in more ways than 1. But you need to have lots of extra cash to keep MB. The car is expensive to keep. Buy a Toyota till you have extra.
Do you know why Benz engine are cheap? Because the engine rarely die !

Most Benz mechanics I know have moved to Japanese, I asked them why? They said that Benz engines rarely get spoilt so they are doing Japanese most times ....a Benz mechanics can fix Japanese easily but a Japanese mech can't do Benz

I want to lay the facts on the table but it is left for you to choose but trust me , once you drive this beast, you might find it hard driving any other car


I talk from experience ...I have driven cars both mine and my friends own and I can say this authoritatively

My brother, not all Benz engines are cheap o. Engines of Benz's mfgd over the last decade will cost you in Kingreign's voice 'an arm, a leg and maybe your beer allowance for the month'

I know ...when you place the years by other brands ! Do you know that 2003 Camry is about 140k engine only but that is the amount you would use to buy Benz same year engine and gear box ...why? Because the engine rarely dies ! The same thing with gear box

C class Kompressor 2000 engine is the even up to 100k can you imagine with all the features and functions

God bless the engineers at Stuttgart

You just dey run mouth. Benz engines cheap? The only cheap Benz engines are the M111 and M112, lmao. M113, too. Do you see a pattern? Those are modular engines that were overbuilt and durable, leading to low demand.

Go price M271, M272, M273, M276, M156 etc, make dem call price for you. I really wonder where some of you get your information from.

@ red coloured, Nissan America is purely American. Not built for Japanese by Japanese. Compare that to Nissan EU or Nissan Japan you'd notice huge difference. Let me allow that be.

@bolded, you for mind wanders claim cos VIP uses Benz it's better than a Rolls Royce or Bentley? No it isn't, rather it's cos it's the most easily affordable luxury with a name to it.
Does it mean other VIPs and presidents and kings using crown and Lexus and jaguar and Audi and Bimmer are fools or worthless?


Now, use your gun to shoot yourself in the foot.

Do I go into argument with you here ? NO
Do I comment that Nissan America isn't produced under the authority of Nissan HQ in Japan ? No

Do I bring this conversation here ? No

Why? It's a Benz thread

Solution : create a thread for this

He's not wrong. MB is basically a sub-premium luxury marque, traditionally not even ahead of Jaguar. In terms of brand prestige, it's behind quite a number of marques. RR, Bentley, Maserati, Aston, etc. That's not including sports brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren.


Na for 9ja nai dem carry am for head.

Go to LA, Miami, Dubai, London, and a Mercedes Benz is pretty much nothing. No one bats an eye at an S Class there.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:41am On May 28, 2019
I still love MB, though, and one of my life goals is to own a proper AMG grand tourer. An SLS Black Series would be nice.

I used a 4 cylinders 2003 highlander for 4 years I didn't open it's engine before I sold it. The only thing I replaced in that highlander was brake caliper and bumper. Apart from normal oil and brake pads and tyres. And No it didnt smoke anything I never opened it's engine .
Currently, my RX330 is 5years 4months 3weeks old (5th January 2014 purchase date) I haven't opened it's engine, it still purrs very sweet and it's still smooth and silent. Only servicing I've done all these while apart from recent shock change when I travelled at night and hit a dlarge pothole after being blinded by a truck lights.


Tell me the perfect meaning of reliability and low cost maintenance and longevity, I'd show you a Toyota and a Lexus. I need no other proof.

I dey my bed come and beat me grin
pls do u know how much a clean Lexus Rx 330 will go for now..?
