Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, kano, Bauchi, kaduna etcetera etcetera, state govt-funded infrastructural development are in progress.

But instead of focusing on the activities of their leaders, some economic migrants will rather have their heads deeply stucked inside Tinubu's arzz. Smh.

I learnt to drive while driving a Mercedes Benz (200D) with a manual transmission, maybe some 15 years ago. So I think I must have forgotten the balance and feel you have driving a Benz.

Fast forward, to two weeks ago and I had to assist a friend with driving. A part of the role was to help drive a Mercedes Benz E220 to convey people to and fro an event.

Well, the experience when compared to cruising my "Accord" was miles apart.

Ever since, I have not been able to get my mind OFF getting a Mercedes Benz.

Now, you get to hear how expensive it is to maintain one, how expensive the parts are....but its been difficult getting actual figures to this.

Upon calling a parts dealer, he advised one stays away from the C180's (4 cylinders) and go for the C240's and C320's (both 6 cylinder). He claimed their Engines were affordable in the range of N100K - N120K and that the C180's were problematic.

How true are these?

So here am I, if rigidity, reliability, ease of maintenance and affordability were priorities which model would you recommend?

Which Benz model even comes close to the ease of maintenance and affordability of parts of a Toyota and Honda?

Which Benz model can you "dare to dream" with?

*Please exclude the high class luxury Benz models, exclude the Jeeps, 4matics and any highly expensive models*

N.B: Existing Mercedes Benz threads are mainly on the driving experience of some popular models.

You can state the model, year, cost of engine, gearbox, AC compressor and fuel pump and parts that needs to be replaced often.
