BENZ IS CHEAPER TO MAINTAIN
BRAKE PADS ARE ALMOST THE SAME PRICE..
But the benz hub and brake disc is more cheaper
the engine of the camry now is about 120k here without the gearbox while the benz engine and auto gearbox is not more than 110k...with manual gear box its abt 65k...
benz shock absorber is cheaper and tends to last longer than brandnew camry shock...
fuel consumption the difference is not noticeable....
a/c i would give the camry... (but u meet top shape benz ac even for hot sun the glass go gather water)
durability benz wins it.. less mechanic visit on a benz
body parts are generally cheaper.... benz complete door goes for about 13k while the camry door excluding engine lifter is about 15k...infact the door handles alone cost abt 6k.
benz body is more tougher than the camry..
you just feel that complete german technology uniqueness and difference in a benz compared to the weak bodied and japan cost cutting built camry...
my humble opinion
and yes the 1999 c class benz cost about the same as the camry... or about a 100k cheaper

It's now a cliché to new entrants and old vehicle users that if you want a car that is cheap, easy to maintain and fuel economical that you should go for cary or anything Toyota. Everyday, we hear and see people's Toyota cars (especially camry) stolen. I created this thread to compare these cars in terms or reality and not "dem say" or my mechanic say.
Let's compare these cars in terms of
1.) Price of shock absorbers.
2.) Price of break lads.
3.) Engine and gear prices.
4.) Fuel pumps price
5.) Anything else fuel consumption, how much to get a clean Nigerian used (tokunboh fit high because of exchange rates).

For this who do not know these cars by names, I've attached their pictures. First is the Toyota cary and second is the Mercedes-Benz.

Stop posting nonsense:

1. A Mercedes Benz C Klasse can only be equated to the Toyota Corolla..... of the same year

2. the Mercedes Benz E klasse 1995-2001 was in response to the Toyota Camry pencil light and fish-light...

3. that stated above are the basis for comparison.....

Originalsly:
Hmmm.... interesting. Why would the far more expensive and better Benz sell for the same price of the camry? The parts mentioned are just a few.... how reliable is the Benz?... are its electrical and electronic systems sound?... or do they act up?... how easy are they to fix?... and costs?

You just spewed thrash from that hole you mistake for a mouth. I sorry for you

royallord1:

nigerians and i too know... how can you say benz c class was a response to corolla... more over the OP is seeking comparism between a particular camry and a particular c class.. dont ever be confused mercedes and toyota no be the same thing... one puts up best product avialable into their vehicle while another was built on cost cutting measure in other to achieve low cost of purchase..
non the less its important to note that c class was actually intoduced by benz to get the younger generation interested in benz.. cos a survey showed only old person who knew the benz feeling went for it.. as the price was seemed much for the young and hip generation to cough out... so c class was not produced as a reply for corolla... get your facts right.. but rather to attract the young generation... same goes for the gclass and the glk.. or how would u now xplain the mclass suv, glclass suv what where they responding to- toyota's what?
ever wondered why most big men including the presidents of nation use mercedes? becos benz and toyota no be MATE.....
pls note : that c class production began in 1987..testing began in 1990 and was released in 1993 as a replacement for 190e
you didnt even say toyota avensis nah corolla u take they compare c class... chia u fall hand
below are the picture of the corolla you said c class was produced after.. or...
can you compare the 2015 c class to 2015 corolla?
they have not been mates and they would never be...

Don't mind the ignoramus thread derailer. He is exposing his ignorance even the more by trying to defend his statement.

Jazzlite:
you are a shameless individual .... an unreserved apology would have earned you a little dignity.... use your brains

how does c class -corolla relate with the w210 E klasse and Pencil Camry?

NgcoboP:

don't be ignorant. that man is very correct.

abbacar:

what is this one saying?
please dont encourage that guys ignorance he equated a corolla to a benz c class. @ royal lord 1 is right... but toyota camry dey wella it has a very high second hand value

NgcoboP:

who tells you that Benz is cheaper to maintain? you must be dreaming

royallord1:

no not dreaming have both cars.. so am speaking from first hand experience...
the camry is currently down because of shaft ... went for a wedding on my way back.the inner shaft pulled no sign at all..... dat will cost about 16k to fix...

NgcoboP:

you should have been keeping up with the routine replacement with original new parts
