Chelseafan1: Bilstein are the best in the business. Guys on Mbworld and MB medic swear by them. Shipping (DHL/FedEx), and Customs charges will make up the price difference. While you are it, check out the price for the 4matic models (will be three to four times that, i can assure you) 3 Likes 1 Share |

Chelseafan1: That has always been the challenge of ordering items with much shipping weight for airfreight. What other alternative are you considering? |

sacramento1212:What are your suggestions? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 7:12pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
weyreypey: Sincerely i don't know. But one thing for sure, Sea freight will definitely be cheaper but airfreight is no no due to the high cost in shipping except for items with reasonable weight. But i feel the only way he can successfully achieve that is if there's someone sending a containerized shipment from the USA, then that can be bought and added as part of the consignment. 1 Like |

sacramento1212:And Port rats? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 7:26pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
weyreypey: Many have been bringing in consignments this way without any problem. I guess Port rats can only happen if there's a delay in clearing after the shipment arrives. The clearing agent has to be on top of the situation. It's only a suggestion but there might be a better option. 1 Like |

Chelseafan1:There are alot of non 4matics around including the C63 that is only available in RWD. Most of the C300 4matics u see are wearing fake badges. The mentality here is that 4matics are for those who have made it in life and trust the Nigerian band wagon mentality. 3 Likes |

I know I shud ask this question on the comparison thread but I want more Benz guys here to contribute pls. My fine boy Doctor friend who is a Benz fan wants to buy a car, he doesn't want the c230k cos of the interior wahala, he prefers the much talked about w203 C320, 2006/07 model but now, he thinks its a fuel guzzler cos its V6, hence, he is now considering a 2006 or 07 Lexus IS 250....Can u enlighten him pls on which one to go for? Benz c320 or Lexus Is 250 Both cars are nice actually. Cc Nurey and HeavenlyBang |

shortgun: Thankx bro; this airmass is the same as air flow ryte? Doesnt mb stsar scanner detect issues airflow issues? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 6:20am On Jun 23, 2019 |
Chelseafan1: If it was that easy everyone would be doing it |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by nurey(m): 6:25am On Jun 23, 2019 |
Chelseafan1: The IS250 is a V6 also the advantage the Lexus has over the C320 facelift 1. Engine wise, cheaper to acquire, the 4GR is not more than 100k 2. luxurious finish the IS has more standard luxurious equipment (speaker,Nav, park assist etc) 3. Reliability rates the IS above the C class. 4. The IS is not popular on road so your friend may not get bored of it. Both cars are still good, I am certain if he is able to view both and get a test drive he would certainly know his choice. |

2004 C300 Kompressor Converted from RHD to LHD, the owner boasted of spending upto 300k for d conversion and yes d owner has such money. Would it be OK for a 1st benz? I own an 03 3 series BMW now so cost of maintenance won't be an issue. Car not registered and he is asking for 800k. My questions here is about d conversion pls. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:15am On Jun 23, 2019 |
Chelseafan1: IS250 and it's not even close. benefitzte: 2004 C300? Or C200? If he spent 300k on conversion, why is he selling? Imo, don't buy. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Chelseafan1: 7:45am On Jun 23, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang: Explain better bro, you always said d c320 is a very nice Benz |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 7:48am On Jun 23, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang: Tell him to buy my IS350, Las Las e go dey alright |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Chelseafan1: 7:52am On Jun 23, 2019 |
nurey: C320 is V6 too 1. The M112 engine is cheap too 2. But the Benz has nice speakers and interior too. I really don't like the dash and seat of the is250 3. Y'all said the M112 engine is quite reliable 4. This is true sha Eddee, Kingreign, weyreypey, Shortgun, waiting for your input. |
