Very easy. [b]Convert to normal struts here in Nigeria ([/b]toks o). Being there done that, didn't cost up to 200k

I have never been a proponent of messing with factory specs for everyday cars. Especially in Nigeria. Specs are specs for a reason.

Aunty everything dey with you. In Nigeria, this Range almost ensured my younger ones got no pocket money. Balloons were been swapped on a regular until we kazeemized the air suspension setup. It's a good thing, you're affordable and reasonable. But you weren't here, when this bad boy was almost sold for peanuts.

It decided days in every quarter, it will sit. And you had to replace in pairs.

My E Class has also been converted from that airmatic crap to normal suspension system.

Sometimes I wish she and my person from Ogba had a branch here in Calabar. That Lexus IS 250 is currently at Mandilas (an effing Toyota dealership) here in Calabar. Car has immobiliser and key issues. Bill is 275k. Paid already, hopefully car will be out tomorrow.

I hate not been able to bargain, at least I can request for discounts from Baba G and even Aunty Radu. These guys don't play, a quote is a quote, and the final invoice will always be higher

Honestly as a young man trying to make a headway for himself,Merc or say German luxury isn't such a smart thing to do,except for early bloomers.
My Merc has cost me more than ×3 of it's purchase money just to keep it running for 5years+ now.
Japs are very reliable,I noticed ever since I went the Lexus way and my honda too back in the days never disappointed,no matter what!
Also for speed,most japs take off the line very fast but then after 100kph,mercs start to catch up and later feed them dust till the end,except for some few.
9icetoo my car na C230k facelift,not C180k angry E pain me say n.a. you dey confuse my own car like this.
Kingreign,you really think your RX330 will race my C230k and win?I don't think so.
As for the 05 V6 Camry,I can attest to this,I don chop severe beating from e hand before and also from the 07 accord v6.
Also some of these recent Mazda 626 na fire ooo.
If I succeed to sell this my old Merc e go tay before I buy another one o lol.
Maybe by say 2023/2024 I'll get a W205 jeje.
Be wise,life no start and end on cars!!
Ah, sorry bro. I been think say na C180. Just remembered that it has a supercharger. You you say all these una Benz nomenclature dey confuse me.
Lol. No worries. If you want more heart pounding moments behind the wheels, you can try the infinity people. They make monstrous and angry engines and transmissions. cheesy
