Bought a Ml500 2002 January dis year, till date I haven't done any repairs just service it every 5000 miles and I drive it to wrk every day,

messed up one Chevrolet suv guy with this baby on the East-West road some years ago, had the sports edition. I still miss her badly

Ayodaygee:


The great part is they are quite cheap.

You can check out:

www.autoscout24.com

Being that you are shipping from Germany (Europe), you don't spend so much. Maybe €400...not so sure.

Thanks... Any idea how much clearing will be for that kind of car?

AmuDimpka:



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

Are you for real ?

2002 corolla front shock absorber is 18k not even OEM ooo original is around 35k.

Engine of 1998-2002 corolla is over 200k

greenhulk:


The plugs of Benz is just 1k lol. Even the plugs of a Camry is not 1k, but with this comment of urs I rest my case because it would be pointless to argue with u. So tell me, u drive a luxury car and buy spark plugs of 1k. Says enough.

Out of curiosity, what model of ML are u talking about?

Not ML na 2016 GLE 450

greenhulk:


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.

pls friends wat is the price range of a 1998 tokunbo Nissan primera, and also 1998 Nissan Almera?

Benz engine is cheap because nobody buys them .... The engine rarely dies!

The C230 (2000)engine is around 60k
ML 320 engine (2000 - 2004) engine is around 90k

The shocks of ML 320, ML450 is around 25k - 30k because they rarely die and it's OEM specified


So do the maths

greenhulk:


So because Lexus is a sub brand of Toyota it means all Lexus cars are rebarged Toyota? Pls continue with ur ignorance.

It is just a rebarged Toyota... They virtually use the same parts ... It's just Toyota with fancy seats

I don't think so because anywhere where the mind is at rest is home ! I am at home with Benz! I enjoy the drive, the handling, the sound and above especially the prestige !

Lord is with me and I would be fine

noble71:

I don't know when these guys are going to get it. Benz usage is a philosophy, a way of life... It's not a sports car

Bros I value that car ooo. The oil consumption is the annoying thing which comes as a factory fault.

You are here again with this your corrola mentality..are you done in the other Benz thread and you have brought that here

Okay, we have heard that Corolla is the best thing after sliced bread

Can we have our Benz discussion in peace ?

Thank you for the anticipated cooperation!

AmuDimpka:

It's a delicate thingy

The most annoying thing is showcasing their insecurity by bringing Toyota talk in Benz conversation

Cyberpeace bro

Ayodaygee:
My quick take:

The W202 model years for the C class are affordable and reliable.

The C class W202 was manufactured between 1993 - 2000.

Because of the satisfaction that is derived from style and elegance, it is advisable to tilt towards those manufactured in 1999/2000.

Now you can go for:

• C180, C230/C240

Avoid the Kompressor upgrade.

If you love speed - go for the C230/C240 V6. Being a 6 cylinder engine they deliver between 150 - 160hp.

However, if you ain't into speeding then the C180 (4 cylinder) is great at 129hp.

To perfectly understand what the effects of the "hp" means:

• Compare it with the power you feel while accelerating optimally with a Honda Accord 2003 - 05 with 160hp (5500rpm, 4cyl).

• And a Toyota Camry 2003 - 05 with 157hp (500rpm, 4cyl).


Now its easy to make your pick


Though am loving the W203 (2001 - 2007) C180 - (2002) right now

Why are you advicing against the KOMPRESSOR upgrade? Throw more light on that pls.

I am eyeing a C230 Kompressor

Heard its actually difficult repairing it (Engine Kompressor) when its faulty.

Thus you are advised to buy a new one.

However, I think the Kompressor for the W202 and W203 are affordable.

I can't vouch for more recent models sha....

@smartchoice and @AmuDimpka....I am feeling u guys johr

The intake for the kompressor is positioned behind the fan
