Lol , oga that ur car dey suffer oh. For ur information ngk spark plugs are not sold for 1k for even Platinum abi na copper plug u dey use for ur Benz? And the way u call brand shows u know nothing about cars. There are different types of spark plugs, u can't just say ngk is 1k and Bosch is 2k5. There are some ngk iridium spark plugs that are more expensive than Bosch and vice versa. U just need to use the one recommended for ur car. But eat oh, 1k plugs for a Benz, omo I no go want drive that kind Benz.

Meanwhile, in which of my comments did I compare a Camry to any Benz? Is Camry the only car that Toyota make? Buy car according to ur needs and power. I don't even drive a toyota. U are just disgracing other Benz owners on this thread with ur 1k spark plugs.

NowI never said that I am a mechanic, I am just a lover of benz and that is What I have been driving and this is my second so If I go by the mechanic advise, do not blame me...but benz recommend Bosch but I dont know which one is Iridium, I started driving Benz with C180 nad apart from Airflow meter, I have never had any issues and the SUV is amazing...it rocks


Thats what it is...I don't know what you meant by disgrace ...dude, abi make I no talk my mind...been busy lately bro. I would research, we learn daily

Originalsly:


Mercedes Benz is not for humble pocket people period....not even in the US where competent mechanics... prescribed fuel... new and used parts are all readily available. Just saying.

Thanks for this advice....got some info on how expensive the fuel pump of a C180 could be - N30k .

God dey!

9icetoo:
I'm yet to see a Benz thread where Toyota and Honda doesn't get mentioned.
And FFS, c180 and corolla are in the same category in car classing.
Argue with your keyboard on that.
Lest I forget, there is no Benz that can give the op what he wants. At least not any Benz made after after the bean counters took over.

Hmmm.....lost in thoughts.

AmuDimpka:


I wonder why they compare Lexus of Toyota to Benz...it's like using monitor lizard to compare an alligator...yes they are reptiles, yes they look alike but gator is more intense and immense


Also...Benz maintenance isn't that high...trust me, the plugs of Benz is just 1k , the oil filter of Benz is just 1,500, the shocks is about 25k for the four....and coming from Japanese background they are the same ...the only thing is that in Benz ...once you change the parts you can go to rest ! But Japanese every 5 months you do the changing....do you know the compressor for my Benz is 25k unlike Lexus that is about 60k , the catalyst is 30k for the four but in Honda pilots it's 50k , the power steering pump in Benz (ML) IS 25K While in pilot it's 28k.

So tell me how it's high and also in Benz it is built to German standard and be rest assured that it would last unlike these Asian brands

Sorry, which Benz model and year were you referring to for the pricing of these parts?

islandmoon:

that car is the most reliable Benz, go for espirit c180 if you need one in that range, but they are actually old and out of style

This should be the espirit model?

Ayodaygee:


This should be the espirit model?

seem that one is with tick body badge, the espirit model I'm talking about usually come with a black body badge and not the shining silver like the elegance, a full tank will get you from Lagos to Kaduna without refuelling, but sometimes can't do without the noise and they are not quiet like the modern benz

AmuDimpka:


Oga that is the cheapest plug which is NGK..Bosch is higher and that is what Benz demands but that doesn't make NGK Bad though but Bosch is preferable which is about 2,500 and that is recommended.

Also...is only spark plugs only what you saw....why bringing in Camry in a discussion of Benz...you can talk Camry in the discussion of Honda Mitsubishi and Subaru not even BMW, Audi, Benz and Chrysler conversation bro

There are leagues so we all must play in our various division....bro

The lady doth protest too much...

You can promote your 'Benz' without putting down Jap brands. In far too many of your posts you had something uncomplimentary to say about Jap cars. Why? Do you secretly pine for one?

AmuDimpka:
You can get a great Nigerian used for half the price bro

I'm saying 2.8m for toks 04 is expensive

This is not true, I am a proud owner of a w202 C180 and the fuel pump and filter cost only but 15k. that car is one of the cheapest car to use in terms of fueling and maintenance any day, any time.... Planning to upgrade to a w202 C230K soon.

Lol, u won't stop making me laugh. See the way u call the Benz like Mercedes Benz makes only 1 model of car. Well it is very easy for dealers to cheat u because of ur obsession with Benz so u think every Benz is expensive.

Well in case u don't know, Mercedes Benz lose values tremendously as they age (most luxury brands do but Lexus holds it's ground more than Benz). U can easily get a toks 04 m class for less than 1.8m, a c class for 1.5m. But try an 04 Lexus rx330, it's average price is still around 3m and an 04 Lexus es330 is still around 2m. U need to stay informed.

I say it us not true. How can you be quoting prices arbitrarily for things we are grounded in. Seems I will start importing 04 Benz. So much money. Direct 04 of any Benz cannot be between 2.5 and 2.8m. Be guided.

But u are the one that said any 2004 Benz starts at 2.8m. So why are u showing us 2005 Benz at 2.3m?

AmuDimpka:


I don't have the time to argue

you are just contradicting yourself. Your statement says any 04 Benz is between 2.5 and 2.8m. Yet you posted 05 Benz for between 2m and 2.3m

You are right, that car is awesome....the compressor of ML320 (2005) that I am driving is 30k , the shocks is 25k for the 4 , the filter is 1,500, the ignition coil is 3k, the gear is 60k

And these things rarely get spoiled. Benz is a good brand.


But the ML headlamp the new model is about 45k to 50k last price! The ordinary headlamp is about 15k!

The only thing that is expensive in Benz to my own knowledge is the body parts

Like the back bumper of my car ...with sensor is about 130k without sensor is about 60k ...the same thing with the front bumpers.


The side mirrow casing with led indicator is 10k with the whole mirror setting is 30k ....the full windscreen is 20k


I. Talking from experience

Yeah he is right, that was the car I was driving before I got the SUV Benz
