C320 is V6 too

1. The M112 engine is cheap too

2. But the Benz has nice speakers and interior too. I really don't like the dash and seat of the is250

3. Y'all said the M112 engine is quite reliable

4. This is true sha

Eddee, Kingreign, weyreypey, Shortgun, waiting for your input.

Audio system in IS is better than W203 by far. Leave matter not by bass only that makes an audio system good. The seats are very supportive and has good bolstering. The only C class seats that comes close are those of the C230 k which has sports seats. Dash of the Benz is dated and bland compared to that of the Lexus.

2004 C300 Kompressor Converted from RHD to LHD, the owner boasted of spending upto 300k for d conversion and yes d owner has such money.
Would it be OK for a 1st benz?
I own an 03 3 series BMW now so cost of maintenance won't be an issue.
Car not registered and he is asking for 800k.
My questions here is about d conversion pls.
Why is he selling at a loss?

I can't speak of what I haven't driven or owned, only C Class I've driven was my own CLK 230k and Nwanneni's C class, interior detailing is top notch and dashboard will break apart eventually., speakers are just nice, not basic but okay.

Now, Oga Oluwaseunla is currently doing a PPI for an Is250, for my big bro- once that comes in this week, I'll definitely borrow and review the interior and speakers. As for the seats (there's nothing to write home about), it's a crowded mall in there.

IS250 and it's not even close.




2004 C300? Or C200?
If he spent 300k on conversion, why is he selling?

C200 sorry pls

Imo, don't buy.

Explain better bro, you always said d c320 is a very nice Benz

Yes, it's by far the best W203.

It's still worse than the IS in most aspects, though.

It's not much faster than the IS250.
The IS has better interior quality.
The IS is more reliable and cheaper to own.
Oh, and the IS looks much better.

Imo, the only thing the C320 does better is being a German car. That is, better handling and high speed control.


He can also facelift the IS to look a lot more modern.

He contested in d primaries of the last elections, probably he needs to offset some debts incurred.
He even sold a 2005 Xc90 Volvo for 500k

C klasse are mainly basic introduction to the Mercedes Benz brand

Me, I've said it before and will say it again... Once I get a family, the only cars in my garage will be A Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and a Truck, if Mercedes have sorted out their issues with the X Class, I'll probably own one (assuming the boy is good dey)... I can't afford to be maintaining marquee liabilities coupled with a high maintenance wife and kids. grin grin

Lol, me too. That Corolla is a must have for me. If this c230k doesn't give me issues, I'll just keep it in my garage.

But Corolla is a must for my wife and children. Especially that common type, even in the year 2040, I go still buy am grin

My brother, your head dey der! Although I'll go with the Civic, the dual guage instrument cluster is certain to evoke a nostalgic feeling a decade or two from now.

W203 is just a basic Mercedes. Owning a Merc is like a religion to some of us.

Hehehe you got a great sense of humour. One of the most important tools for modern cars especially the Mercedes Benz is the multimeter tester.... Simple but very critical.

Truth is if you give me a basic lexus or Toyota I'll be very confused....

For me, a Civic, a high-performance sports coupe (Camaro, Mustang, Corvette), and a Lexus LX.

Civic for economic city driving, sports coupe for fun (trips on good roads, weekend driving, and just to turn up), LX for family hauling, trips on bad roads, and executive appearances.
