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  I guess I am too eager to get an answer  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.  The thing too dey shame person. 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  I still saw one cute mini 4matic SUV Benz for movie yesterday, very beautiful, zoomy and dope, bt na money kill am  Thanks for your explanation.  |

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 |

Mariangeles: Even at the detriment of her safety? 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. |

From my years of experience on earth, I have seen that women no dey hear word (particularly girls, youth). Dem be goats and their dare devil brave gestures in dangerous places should be a topic for research. They dare to walk and thread in places where even a strong bodied adult male avoid (men do this for the sake of insight and common sense). |

Nnamdipapa: Most people are digging their own graves with their teeth. What you put into your body is very important. I am at a party right now and only requested for tequila, water and lime. No crazy drinking and unnecessary eating. I am extremely careful what I put in my body 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  @nedekid |

 I just watched it on TikTok...
A complete gentleman and more,that's who the husband is, nothing more, nothing less....
But omoh,must everything be on social media? 
Just see how she was ranting . I even thought maybe she caught them having sexxxxx,not until I took my time to watch the video till the very end.......
Now,i and every sensible man and woman out there knows this ought to be one of the reasons why the man didn't tell her the truth in the first place 
Even her own kids were on their knees, begging her,but she was still screaming ,as if he has done something that hasn't happened before 
If I were the husband, nothing would have stopped me from destroying that phone I swear 
Las las,he should take that girl out of that house,cuz,that woman right there has got evil plans for the innocent girl  Guy, whether husband be gentleman or hot headed man, that na abroad o, some said na UK, I don't know. Being abroad simply means the husband go behave himsef whether guilty or not. You wan make he spoil the phone on top him guilt, woman wey never calm down. Maybe na outside cold the guy for sleep that nite  Tinx can quickly escalate, before you know whats happening, cell to prison en route deportation E no dey easy make someone dey make rash decisions like dat o |
