How can you buy a car to drive it once in a while? Who told you that's how Mercedes cars are to be used?
So which car will do all those journeys? Japanese?
You are indirectly saying Mercedes is unreliable if they can't be used as daily drivers thereby confirming what a lot of people have been saying here and disappointing a lot of Benz or nothing folks.
It is well.

Theconglomerate:
na the way o,na wetin we dey do.
As it gets old,boring and trying to die,na to push am off to someone that have energy for mechanic,albeit transparently.
My Es get accident a while ago nau,shebi I been tell you.
And you know how japanese cars can collapse like a house of cards after accidents
Nothing like merc Eddie,irrespective of the things people say.
My merc sef don go a while back,900k under hard struggle.

Theconglomerate:
I have never argued that benz is unreliable o,as a matter of fact it is very very very unreliable.
I can't count the number of times that thing has kept me on the road especially interstate but hardly on the highway.
Most of these benz or nothing arguments I see here comes from mostly a place of excitement,not really facts.
Benz is enjoyable no doubt but if you don't buy it brand new or relatively new(5 years old and below),it will make you befriend all mechanics in town.
So I just laugh when I see as they hail 15 year old benz here up and down cos that thing will cost an arm and a leg to run.

Theconglomerate:

The misfire keeps coming o,nothing I never do to stop it but it keeps coming.
Change 4 coil,change all 4 plugs,the guy don dey go that nozzle and air flow meter side and I tell am say make e leave am
I have noticed that thing only happens when I accelerate very hard and hit 80mph.But if I accelerate gradually even to 100mph,it doesn't happen.
As for flood part eh,I got caught unawares,you know ph na.
Rain dey fall,long traffic so the flood met us in traffic,and inevitable situation.
And I also noticed that when cel and trac off light comes up,performance drop slightly .

rationalmind:



This is really funny . Na to do your best leave the rest jare. After all when you ready sell and you put price, den go begin ask you how much be toks

9icetoo:

Majority of the Tokunbo japs on our roads are accidented. They have not collapsed.
What caused your accident? Overspeed? Or you will blame the Lexus for being light above 120?
Every car will collapse depending on the severity of the accident. If you roll a car over multiple times, I'm not sure it's ever going to remain the same even if it's a G wagon.

9icetoo:

I had a similar issue in my cerrato. Plug and coil change didn't sort it. Mine was cylinder 3.. My mechanic said I should service the injectors and wash the fuel filter. It didn't make sense to me but I told him to come and do it. He did and the misfire went away. Who would have tot?

You're wrong. Mercedes Benz gets better with age coupled with good maintenance. Like all quality items. I am still traumatized by the Honda and Peugeot I strayed to...my heart misses a beat anytime I remember those two

Liqui Moly is the market leader in oil and additives in Germany.That tells you a lot as Germans are known to be perfectionists .More than likely 4 out of every car in Germany runs on Liqui Moly oils.

happydude:
I dont have that type of scanner and I dont a Merc Mech around all na Japanese things and beside the ob2 I want to use now was working well on my previous lexus Is ..

Theconglomerate:
Overspeed and I lost control,ogoni road for Akwa ibom side,just after that rivers and Akwa ibom separation bridge.
175kph and I tried to brake hard and dodge on the road but the thing shift widely and enter Bush.
But it was my fault and not the car's fault.
But then,japanese cars can hardly come back after accidents when fixed the Nigerian way.
Noise,vibration and my case sef the thing started driving one sided.
Like the head will be facing left and tail right.
I just cut my loss and move on.

Conductor261:

Please do you have an idea of what the 2010 Cerato engine costs?

9icetoo:

I hear its expensive. Last time I enquired, it was close to 560k. Price may have come down now as it is now relatively old. Gear box was more than 350k with plenty abeg last year.
Not a cheap car to wreck an engine or gear box.

Anyone with experience on Benz B200 (2008) Turbo? I love the car. Planning to get one. Any thoughts?

Conductor261:
Beautiful car....large interior space and fuel efficient

Seconded but please study hard about it ,use genuine fluids and don't abuse it else you will cry like someone i know with an A160.Get an educated mechanic and not a kazeem.All the best and call me to come taste if the ride is in Lagos

kingreign:


This is the 2nd time in a space of 24hours you've made same complaint. It tells about your driving and maintenance habit (no pun intended).
I've owned Japanese and also my family Member own Japanese and Benzes yet, none of us ever had to work on his/her shafts or replace them.
There's something you're either not doing which you ought to be doing or there's something you're doing which you ought not to.

Theconglomerate:
True,cars no be investment and the way he goes about his mercedes hyping is recipe for doom.
Hilux is great too but so expensive mehn,if company no give you bro forget,cos I can hardly see how easy one go commot 15-20m buy that thing weh better cheaper options full ground.
Life goes on...
