Goldrush123: Same engines, different displacements. C350 does about 50 HP more than C300. |

Thanks.. c300 has RWD and 4matic... I know the difference between the two. I want to ask if the maintenance is about the same? Or 4matic has more maintenance issues |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by nakoks(m): 4:32pm On Aug 23, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang:lol .okay but i thought we were analysing the 2011 C300 .Its okay tho. |

Goldrush123: Rule of thumb: Avoid all 4Matics. Suspension parts costs up to 3x the price of RWD models, and the RWD is more fun anyway. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Good evening house,i live in Abuja and i am about getting a MB C300 "09. I also noticed the 4matic of C300 &C350 are more in nos on the streets and dealers. even cheaper,if maintanance is higher why is 9 out of every 10Mercedes in Abuja '4matic? Also a friend said the shaft costs about 150k and one could change it 3 times in a year,is this possible? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 6:19pm On Aug 23, 2018 |
Goldrush123: More as is typically the case with rear vs 4 wheel. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 6:21pm On Aug 23, 2018 |
jbubba: Because when you're talking Mercedes, most of us don't think maintenance. Plus, I'm not driving a car in Nigeria without all/4 wheel drive because of places I might have to go. As far as shaft, if you're buying crap then sure. 1 Like |

jbubba:Hello, am based in Benin and right here the average man has this belief that "4matic" is a special or more powerful Benz and therefore superior to others, it just might be the same over there. As for changing the shafts 3 times a year, I seriously doubt that even tibao parts can't be that bad. 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 6:40pm On Aug 23, 2018 |
jbubba: Because uninformed idiots think the 4Matic badge means a darn thing; some take it as a class symbol. I guess the ridiculous suspension prices get their brains back in the game quickly. 3 Likes |

HeavenlyBang: Bro, I am considering buying an Acura TL 05 - 06 as my first personal car. Was considering the 2005 c230 or 2009 toyota corolla but cost in both cases and performance in the case of the corolla seem to be a challenge for me. I have read reviews and watched videos about the Acura TL 05 - 06 and it seems it's a balance between a benz and a lexus in terms of performance,fuel mileage,Interior design and overall cost. What do you think about the Acura TL bro? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 5:46pm On Aug 25, 2018 |
ogtavia: Don't buy a 05/06. They had issues with their auto transmissions. 2007+ is fine, though. The 2007 TL is an excellent car, bonus points if you get a Type S. Enough luxury, performance, and reliability. Power train will easily get to 300K miles without any issues, and the interior build quality will not fall apart--two statements I can't make about the C230. |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ogtavia(m): 2:17am On Aug 26, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: But sorry ,one more thing. Going through online reviews, one common problem associated with the TL is the transmission failure issue. Whats your take on this? And how much do you think i should budget for this vehicle thanks. |

Please, I need your assistance. I have a 2000 C230 Kompressor (American Sport Edition, W202). A few days ago, I inserted the smart key which sucked in (the regular zip-zap sound) but doesn't turn on ignition to permit starting. I removed the battery head and replaced after about 15 minutes, still didn't turn to start. I had to leave the car parked there till next morning and the smart-key sucked, turned & started. Same issue recurred in the course of the days use which I removed and replaced battery head after 30 minutes whereby I was able to drive the car home. But today, the removal and replacement of battery head hasn't enabled the key turn & start as usual, I now notice the battery indicator on my instrument panel now glows faintly after key removal and clock timeout. The car is lying helpless in my compound. I need your urgent assistance. Thanks |
