udy4real: With the level of insecurity on our highways where are you needing above 140km/h. If you are in Lagos let us know so we see if ETO can fix it or you buy another transmission. |

Hello house Please I need detailed info on the C230 or C240 & co. Around 2004 or 2005 models..... How economic is its maintenance for normal office use + weekend hangouts on the island. Nothing serious just from home to office then maybe beach or a mall on weekends. How likely is it to develop faults from normal driving (no major accidents)? What are the most likely problems that will arise? What are the most common price range of these parts (if it will be replaced) etc?? Please my questions sound amateurish because I am. I hope someone sees this and helps me out in layman terms. Thanks alot in advance. Cc: gazzuzz nurey kingreign greggng icenautos radautoworks please help out |

BuyAndSellStuff:the c240 2004 or 2005 is okay not 4matic. Try go for foreign use if you have the power or a good Nigerian used with good maintenance history. Benz is all about proper maintenance( proper and good oil usage, correct parts usage). Watch out for electrical faults Mercedes has many sensors but is cul. change engine oil and filter when due, fuel filter etc. Maintenance cost is a bit higher than Toyota but correct parts last longer, fuel economy is fair 2 Likes |

BuyAndSellStuff: Its a good car I bet you'll like it... I use C200 for Uber maintenance, spare parts is far less than when I was using a Corolla. Its rugged and performs far better than even the Corolla 2010. The fuel economy is even better than that of a Corolla. Take for an instance, 3weeks ago I went to Ojurin in Ibadan. Bought fuel N6500 at Mobil Abule Egba then drove to Ogba and from there to Ikoyi b4 going to Freedom way to pickup the client then straight to Ojurin with all the external road due to construction i took Then returned back to Lagos and went to Kola/Alakuko before my reserve light came up. All of these waka with AC oooh even with a faulty MAF. I use liquidmoly 10W40 which i usually buy from a seller here modida. Just make sure you've one good and competent mechanic, electrician and AC technician it will be easy to use and maintain that way. 3 Likes 1 Share |

BuyAndSellStuff:That car is near perfect for Nigeria. Cheap to maintain as long as you do routine maintenance, for some reason parts in Nigeria for it are about on par with the parts for a Corolla, good fuel economy, nice ride. I would buy it everyday and twice on Sunday 4 Likes |

dadabashua1: You know that thing with Nigerians once a manufacturer produces one bad product every others that come afterwards is rubbish to them. Many Nigerians still have that wrong notion that Mercedes Benz consumes fuel, it's a car for only the rich... Same way they see every Honda cars as the EOD that usually have dislocation of of legs. An average Nigerian is still an illiterate. 7 Likes |

dadabashua1: Even on your deathbed, when you're saying your final words, Toyota would still be on your mind. For a self acclaimed Honda fanatic, you sure spend a lot of time posting about Toyota. No let Hypertension kill you on top Toyota matter bros. It's not that serious As the Igbos say, Biri, Kam biri. |

BuyAndSellStuff: I drive a c200 kompressor, honestly I love it, faster, well balanced than a Camry talk more of corolla, but there are things you must avoid if you want to enjoy your car, never give your car to trial and error mechanic, get some knowledge of your car fuse box( Sam), avoid washing your engine bay with carwash guys, simply use brush and a rag, also keep to regular oil maintenance. Remember number one, avoid kazeem, I learnt the hard way oo, my catalyst stolen, my thermostat remove.... 5 Likes |

Manuella4ace: No need to lie to validate something. If in doubt, go try out pacing a 2005 Camry V6. I won’t bring in the SE variant or even the 2007-date Camry models to this discuss. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Felicity001(m): 9:28am On Apr 04, 2022 |
kingreign: Bros he mentioned his car brand C200 kompressor whixh is 1.8L with Power 163 Hp @ 5500 rpm. Torque 240 Nm @ 3000-4000 rpm. For him to have mentioned Camry it means he's referring to Toyota Camry of almost same level with the car he uses which is either 2003/04, 4cy 2.4L Horsepower: 160 hp @ 5,700 rpm, Torque- 163 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm. I've used the Corolla, Camry both 4cyls and V6 and i can tell fr9m experience the C200 is faster and more balance when compared to the Camry 4ycls and Corolla. The body of the Camry is stronger than the Corolla but that of the C200 is stronger. The Camry has a common problem, shaft wahala fit make you throway the car but the AC na die mortuary standard and has more room/leg space than the C200 and the boot of the Camry is bigger when compared to C200 it's side mirror is also stronger but can't adjust like the C200 when hot by other road users so it can easily break but the thing strong die. Maintenance cost can be comparable only that the C200 has more parts than the Toyota. e.g sand protector is just one front front to undernet but that of the C200 has 3 compartments, one cover to shock absorber and other to the wiper water can then another down to under of the car to the bumper. Breakpads as sensor but Toyota dont have so you may have to change you breakpad sensor along side your breakpads but the Toyota only changes breakpads. Fuel economy of the C200 can be compared to tue Honda Civic not even with the Corolla 1.8L let alone the 2.4L Camry. The C200 comes with 8air bags but the Toyota Corolla and Camry has just 2 if anything happens and car tombulu nko All of these cars I've used so I know the differences from sound to electrical and mechanical. I'll choose the MB over the Toyota any day anytime. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Felicity001:Be calming down. It's not always about HP. How th power is put down also matters. A 2008 Honda city will beat the Merc in a 0 to 100 km/hr sprint. Make una take am easy. We know say una like Benz pass una wives but some claims are downright silly. Your shaft na your problem. It's not a Camry or Corolla problem. It is a maintenance item. It is meant to be replaced when it gets worn. It wasn't designed to last forever. A genuine replacement should last donkey years and possibly get scrapped with the car. Make una dey lie small small. |
