Car TalkRe: Mention A Car That Is Cheap But Makes You Look Rich by sharpwriter(m): 4:17pm On May 09, 2025
Felicity001:
Thank you.

You asked many questions in just in a single way... how did you do that...lol.

Yes, the stereotype about MB is very true... butbthe truth us not all benz are difficult.or expensive to maintain.
Yes, benz is a classic and expensive car but not all. The once that are very expensive are the newer models, like the C300 2015 up, GLE class, in fact most benz from 2015 upwards are quite expensive to maintain, but when you compare their cost of maintenence with other manufacturers in the space of two year, trust me, you'll.be shocked that the benz cost less. because mist of their fix can serve a life time.

But you see those old model, 2010 downwards, bro believe you me, their parts are very cheap.

Look, I am a car dealer, also, I do spare parts errands for clients as well. People call me from all walks of life to help help them source for spare parts. I've records I can show vai WhatsApp , I do waybill to Abuja, Ph, CrossRiver state, Mauduguru, and some west Africa Countries. So I can tell you, face by face, most benz parts are cheaper than the corolla.

Now, let's compare.
2006 corolla parts
The last time i bought Complete engine was in January, 2025 @800k
Then, C200K Complete engine was 400/500k

Shocks for corolla 2006 toks, is 30/35k for pair

For C200K 2003/05 2 pairs is 20k

The motor nondey use shaft so I can't compare

Tie rod for corolla brand new is 10k I supposed

Tue rid for c200K brand new is 6k

I use my break pads for 12k miles b4 changing, bit corolla 8k miles I'm changing it .

Gear box for corolla 06 is about 600/700k
The last time I bought for C180 for a client and se.t to Abuja it was 100k... that's was like 2yrs ago... then corolla gearbwas 250/300k

I.can go on and on, you'll get bored reading.


I can't drive a manual in lagos naw, haba... lol , so they're all automatic. Any ine that fits you buy.
Great response ... No mind my questioning pattern baba grin I guess I am too eager to get an answer cheesy

These short market survey you put here looks unbelievable, but since it is from a first hand experience and witness, who am I to say no?

I dey fear anything wey no be Japanese cars, coz I dont care for that stereotypical class that German cars is said to possess especially Benz. I fear car break down like mad. The stvp!d beetle wey my papa use wen I was younger don create nightmare and phobia inside me wen it comes to car breaking down on the road. cheesy The thing too dey shame person. angry
For that, I go for Japanese reliability over German luxury.
But I will still make findings about your submission. And I also understand that these models you mentioned are getting old also with each passing day.

However, my submission is that make baba God just bless person, lift man hands up, with enough cash, person no go dey worry the kind of car wey hin dey use, whether V6 o or V8, once cash dey, person fit own and drive the cars wey hin fancy without High BP smiley

I still saw one cute mini 4matic SUV Benz for movie yesterday, very beautiful, zoomy and dope, bt na money kill am grin

Thanks for your explanation. cool

Felicity001:
You guys have obviously not explore other cars at all...

Who says Evil.spirit 2009 to 2012 Accord is cheap?

I'm a car dealer and at tje same time I've used several cars as I buy, fix and resell after some time, so I can tell which car is cheaper in terms of maintenence, purchase, fuel economy and at the same time classic or make you look richer in the Nigerian society


1. Mercedes Benz C230, C200k, C180, go for the 4 cylinder engine. These cars have engine sizes ranging from 1.8L to 2.0L engine size and they full option with sun roof or panoramic roof, back air condition vent with leather and fabric interior. The make alone is every classy when heard.

Let me burst your bubbles, Nigerian used is sold btw 3m to 4.5m. While toks is sold around 7m.
Intact I sold my 2 yrs used last year for 2.4m, first body with a tokunbo engine I installed barely 2 months b4 selling it ooo, with ac and everything working perfectly, c200k, 2003 model.

Parts are very very affordable, and are everywhere in the market. And their parts can last a life time unlike the Japanese you'll have to change after 4 months or 6 months max.

It's fuel economy is topnotch, 1.8l engine with kompressor that energises the engine and speed making fuel economy low, as a matter of fact, it conserve fuel more tha. Corolla 2006... don't argue with me... I used this car for ehailing (Uber) for 2yrs plus so I can tell you for free...
Thank you for your submission. I am not a Benz fan or German cars fan. But your explanation is tempting. The normal stereotypes about Benz is that they are costly to maintain, no matter the model. These Benz models you highlighted here, how cheap are their parts? Cheaper in Toyota class or slightly pricey? And these Benz(es), are their automatic gears good or they are better bought as manual tranny? What is the cost of replacing an automatic tranny for the Benz models you highlighted above?

I am asking this because I still remember that the backlight of a Benz that was bashed from behind earlier this year was around 170k (it is a more recent year , model C300). I don't know if the 170k is for both rear lights because I learned somewhere that spare part dealers prefer to sell both lights at once due to low patronage; i don't know how true.

Hopez456:
This is very accurate. I remember when I was hustling as a school teacher, children in a primary class were one day gisting among themselves and mimicking the ringtones of their parents in the other room. I particularly remember a boy mimicking either the dad's or mum's tone that sounds like that of a goat. I was shocked!

Children know a lot and talk a lot about activities that goes on in the home.
Lol... Naughty kids

What if it refuses to wear off, like in the case of the post?
Which wear off, unless say na hard drugs like mkpurumiri he use, it wasn't the sex enhancer that killed her, it was the stvpid rough sex... BDSM maybe.

How can one be knacking and throwing one's partner against the wall and you expect both of them to come out in one piece?... when the thing no be rape, na overplay dey cause cry cry in the end.

You read there that her head was affected, it is definitely head injury that killed her.

I was at a wedding reception some years ago. And I saw this fat lady, consuming everything consumable: small chops, buns, white rice and fried pepper stew, jollof, pounded yam, and she made sure she tasted all the drinks from normal bottled water to coke, to unscrewing the wine there.

I was so much disgusted and felt like whipping her for the gluttonous show and indecency (in my view sha). And funny enough, she was seated among guys that they came together, eating like a pig angry angry
