maynation:Yeah, I have seen them, and they are "BROKE PEOPLE". If cost of maintenance is a serious criteria for you before buying a car, then you are in the BROKE PEOPLE category. Even if you have millions in your account, forget it, you're still broke, because being broke is not just lack of money, it's also a way of thinking. When rich people buy cars, they buy the cars they love to buy, cost of maintenance is not and never a factor in their consideration at all. That's why it's rich people that buy Ferraris, Bugattis, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Roll Royces, Land Rovers, Mercedes Benz etc. They don't care about mpg, they don’t care about parts availability, they don’t care if there's no dealership or workshop for it in town, they don’t care if they have to ship it to another country for servicing, they don’t care about nothing. They love the car for the luxury and performance it provides and they buy it. That's what they care about. But CHECK OUT people buying Toyotas and Hondas. They care about mpg, you always see them vibrating like hot oil that was splashed with water, vibrating over whether it is V4 or V6, whether the 4 plugs can drive 1000km with 1 liter of fuel, whether Kabiru his neighborhood mechanic can fix it, whether Uche Obi in Ladipo has the parts, whether the parts are everywhere in lagos and along the forests of interstate roads, they worry about resale value, whether they can buy the car for N2m, use it for 10 years and still re-sell it with a banged up body, 650k miles covered, vandalized interior, gearbox on ICU and an engine on life support at N1.5m. They worry about everything. I'm not being rude, and apologies to anyone that feels offended. But the truth is, it's "BROKE PEOPLE" that drive (own) Toyotas and Hondas etc! |

Comparing Mercedes Benz to Toyota isn't fair at all. Benz is a world apart from Toyota abeg Obokun oloye for that matter! |

Smartchoiice:Wait oo. No shade intended o. Every one knows Honda is a poor man's car na especially EOD and DC, those are the cars everyone starts with then you upgrade after few years. Most civil servants opt for Honda just to minimize expenses and be at least called car owners. I started with DC too. |

) Toyota parts are cheaper to buy because it's an Asian product, and the Chinese are able to fabricate those parts easily. Do you think it is easy or cheap for them to fabricate parts for Benz products? No, it's not. Takes a lot of experience, expertise, equipment and funding. Any average Chinese parts manufacturer can make Toyota parts, but check those making Benz parts, it can only be the top giant manufacturers. If those average Chinese parts manufacturer try it, they will most likely make substandard and fake parts that are either defective, fail or don't work at all. So everything boils down to money. Our people here rush Toyota because it's easier (every Tom, Dick and road side mechanic can fix it) and cheaper to fix, not because they don't break down because they break down a lot. They break down, they spend not so much and it's back on the road again. But Benz is actually more reliable, because they don’t break down so easily. But when they do, they will cost you "more money" to fix. More money not just in terms of parts alone, but in terms of getting the mechanic with the expertise to fix it, and Benz mechanics (the capable ones) are not cheap, remember these guys are the mechanics that are intelligent and have high IQ, so they know their worth and they charge their worth. So a Benz breaks down, and they do diagnosis, they cost the repair at maybe N120k and the broke owner shouts yay! N120k, I don’t have o, I have N40k, and the Benz mechanic says sorry, it can't be fixed at 40k, we have to replace this or that, do this or that. So the broke owner drives away or tows his car back or abandons it there and then goes around telling people that Benz is not reliable. No the Benz is reliable, but he just can't afford the maintenance. Which still boils down to money. So for me, if you're not a comfortable millionaire, you have no business with Benz unless you're a mechanic yourself with sound experience in repairing it, so you can DIY when it needs repairs and save costs. But Toyota is cheaper to fix and get back on the road again, that why most people tend not to notice the number of times they actually break down. They break down a lot!
