Hello! experts in the house good day to you all,

I want to buy my first car, And all of the cars in naija its only mercedez impresses me. is it ok to buy 1.5m c230 or i should save more and buy foreign one.? Please experts in the house should advice me cause i don't want mechanic's friendship, Lols.

Just bear in mind that any Benz you are buying at that price, is a fourth class Benz and be ready to have a mechanic as your neighbor

Save more if Benz is what you desire

Talk about 3ml above depending on the class

Are things so bad in Nigeria that peeps think someone buying a car of N1.5m is into fraud or yahoo?

I was going to ask if there was a Mercedes Benz of N1.5m in today's Nigeria till I saw Nigerian used.

Maybe not, prolly just envy

Lol .
How old is your car?(probably not very old)
How much do you drive?(probably daily commute to work and back)
What kind of parts are you getting?since it might still be not very old ,definitely fake parts haven't flooded the markets yet.(mercedes durable?nah...)
Where do you live?(probably you've got paved roads and all...
Mercedes and economy have absolutely nothing in common,nothing!
Give yours time and you'll understand what I am saying,ages indeed!
Mercedes durable? undecided If you want durability buy a hilux as no luxury car can give you that,none!
Coupled with bad naija technicians that will even help the car age faster grin
We'll have this talk again soon,by that time you might have begin to understand a thing or 2 about luxury cars.I was like you some years back sadly till I saw different and changed goals.
Op better abandon that thing right now,unless you came to this world to achieve repair bills cos it's inevitable.
Coming from someone that has owned a lot of them with a wealth of experience,I'd say if I am going back(which I will) to mercedes,I don't think I will go for anything less than a brand new one or atleast very few years old(not more than 4 yrs.

I sincerely doubt that you've ever owned a Mercedes.

Not a good idea for a first car, it's a V6, meaning more fuel, also it's parts aren't exactly cheap. if all the above ain't a problem for u, U can get it & enjoy...

BUT do not buy naija used unless u know the person selling it & happens to maintain his ride very well..... otherwise u & kazeem will be be tight friends as u go get special spot for him garage

You want complete advice with incomplete information?

What's the mileage of the car?, What years model is it? Does the car have a service history? These should have been added to your question.

All the best

Just imagine your mentality?
Your fellow citizen wanna buy a car, but you have made your mind up that he is into fraud! shocked
You are calling him a fraudster and you don't know anything about him?
And you will turn around blaming other people for the misery around you.
So in your mind , a youth cannot make it in a legit way to buy a car of around $3000 without going into fraud?And you will end up condemning SARS for doing the same thing. Shouting End SARS everywhere just last year!
Shouting End Sars cause they keep disturbing Naija youths dressing well and riding good cars, not knowing that all of us aren't thieves, scammers or fraudsters!
FYI, we still have honest and hardworking Nigerians around.
And you are here calling someone you don't know jack about a yahoo boy!
May God forgive you!
Well, The earlier you change your mentality, the better for you.


It's all in their mentality.
It's just so sad to read!


OP,
Take this advice below,

Mercedes Benz for N1.5? Less that $2,500..,,even for a c230 model, you sure say the motor balance?

Bros go for Toyota or one of the popular models…maintenance is the key, buy motor wey local mechanic know how to fix and the one wey they call spare parts money give you, you no go run abandon motor for mechanic shop because the spare money reach to buy another motor or if you add small on top of repair money you go hammer correct motor.

Pls, I beg you;don't go for Mercedes at this stage. 1.5m Mercedes will give you wahala

Any car that you choose to buy should be easily within your budget. It must not be one that you will not only cry to buy, but also cry to maintain.

Dont buy a car to impress people. It's the biggest mistake many make. Buy assets that will appreciate in value such as stocks and land. Your car is a liability and decreases in value.

I would suggest you use half the money to buy a car and invest the balance. If you live your life like this, in 10years time, you would have a small fortune

Stop trying to look rich. It makes many broke

May 2014 was the day I bought my first C class.
2018 I got my E220 CDI 2008 model.
And later same year I got a C300.
I'm sure you were still in school when most of these happened, kindly take a backseat and learn from real experience,not fantasy or fan boyhood.

The most expensive car is a cheap luxury car, OP. If you don't want mechanic friendship, buy a Toyota.
Your true explanation simply means Toyota are better car/engine maker than overrated German machines. I don't know if you agree, but that's my submission and what I have been preaching.
