AmuDimpka:Old luxury cars are not quite it,you know. A 2005 C class doesn't and can't wow anyone in 2020.Nothing like "bad guy is here" untop 15 year old mercedes I got my 05 C class in 2014 and it kind of lost its wow factor around 2016/17 when the w204 became common. So if you don't have money for luxury,go for basic rather than buy ancient luxury and prove to the world how poor you are. I went Car shopping this year again,wanted the W212 facelift but I couldn't afford it and went straight to a corolla. It's not that corolla is the best but its suits my budget more.I can always resell easily whenever I make enough money to buy a W212 2015. Also,old luxury cars are nightmares,it can breakdown on you any moment,disgrace you and literally turn you to a mechanic and make you spend a lot of productive time on an old piece of shit car! Unless of course the old mercedes is an only achievement to a person,I see no reason why anyone should buy a luxury car above 7 years in this age,plain stupid IMO. There are better things to do with life than looking for where to buy tokunbo parts always to impress people that don't just care cos your car dont Impress them no more for being TOO OLD,whereas the owner thinks he is actually a baller Delusional! 11 Likes |

AmuDimpka:2005 Benz is not better than a newer corolla in any way. I've owned a lot of Cars,mercedes too so I know what I'm saying.I actually love mercs than you but buying an old one is quite not smart. I haven't seen a mechanic workshop in a long time because my car is relatively new,not because of marquee or whatever. I would never advise anyone to buy an old mercedes. If you never get money for luxury,forget luxury till money comes. It might surprise you to know how people mock you when you drive pass in your 1999 ML. No one will mock you if you were in a 99 corolla because you are clearly putting out a hustler message,rather than I wanna belong but too broke to belong Emancipate from old luxury cars please,na advise. 8 Likes |

Gabapentin:Just imagine spending productive time in a workshop looking for "Male and female" gum to patch one hose that is falling apart or "knacking bushing" into a suspension part or carrying all sorts of oils in your booth to be topping up the engine and the ever shortening steering pump oil I'm sure he and his mechanic are now on first name bases and probably spend his free time gisting and playing draft with his mechanic. The most important person to him right now might be his mechanic. Better to buy Okada than to drive a 20+ year old luxury car. If you want argue just log into your banking app and see the deplorable state of your account balance... You'll realise the only thing you've achieved since 3 years is repair Bill's for mechanic.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Theconglomerate(m): 3:26pm On Jul 04, 2020 |
AmuDimpka:So because they drive 2005 luxury in Berlin(mercedes home country) is reason enough to buy an extremely old car in a country like Nigeria where repair culture and technical know how is poor? That is like signing a lifelong contract with impoverishment and car repair bills People buy new luxury cars here so as to consume them while it still kicks for maybe 8-10 years and pass the carcass down the line to a wannabe to bury himself with Bills upon bills while smart oga moves to a newer,livelier car. Think smart,bro. Buy,use and pass the carcass... That's how its done. At the end of the day,it'll be like you were on rental throughout your lifetime and you will see how much you've saved using this technique. Atleast it will spare you enough buck to invest time,energy and money in other important things than to spend time proving a point on a very old ML |

Hi guys, so i see my question stirred up the forum a bit. Well i think people are misunderstanding the phrase "bad guy around". I dont need to drive a recent or expensive car to make that statement" Also 150k as salary is tax free and rent free. From the comments, i think the C 200/230 is the right option. Thanks all. 6 Likes |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by 6by8long: 7:56pm On Jul 04, 2020 |
I'm still holding on my interest in w204. Can 3m to 3.5m get me a better c300?. I read some say I should run away from 4matic. Some say facelift is the best (from 2012 model). I'm not sure there's any 2012 non 4matic. Besides, 3.5m can't get 2013 or 2014 c300 non 4matic toks. I'm in delima. Budget is 3m to 3.5m And 500k for Total maintenance costs (yearly). I'm planning to drive the car for 2 years max. Please your suggestions are needed. |
