Alvin007: Next time, when scouting for cars, and you see "water damage", whether freshwater or salt water or garden hose water, flee! You've entered one chance in this one and the probability of electrical damages may be high. That said, what's done is done, get a Tokumbo engine and transmission. 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Alvin007: 6:32am On Apr 10, 2020 |
KINGreignn:You don't seem to understand. A thorough vin check by me, showed that the engine had water damage....that was the last report on the vehicle history, which dated back to a few months..after that...it was later tagged 'Run and drive'...on an auction coy's website....So, I assumed that the engine and trans..had been replaced...and prolly wasn't recorded.... it was a case of fraud..on the part of the auction coy....pure misrepresentation. Ps: I intentionally attached the pic of the vehicle...if you zoom in on the extreme right corner of the windshield, you'd find the 'Run and drive' tag. I hope you understand now? 1 Like |

Alvin007:Bro, I understand what you said and I did not misunderstood anything you wrote earlier on. What I am saying is, that water damage history was never gonna be fixed abroad by any insurance or owner, even run and drive on auction site has a disclaimer to it. Trust me I've bid online a lot of times and I know what these guys do to a reasonable extent. |

Alvin007: You need to have a second mechanic look at that car.You will waste money getting a new engine and gear.But the sad thing is if you are billed 40% of what it would cost you if you go get a new engine and gear you will not want to pay. Also note that if its flood problem replacing engine and gear alone wont solve the problem.Sorry but in the past year i have seen 3 Mercedes like this get fixed without replacing engine or gear so am speaking from experience.Hala me only if car is in lagos lets have a second look at it.

Alvin007: no fraud there brother, just inexperience on your part with the way the auction works when I was sourcing my ride from same iaai auction last year my agent made me understand that just because the auction said the car is run and drive does not necessarily mean that the car can even start at all, I recall there was one flooded car I had in mind but he discouraged me you have to use your common sense sometimes, you said auction said the car had engine damage and yet you said it was later run and drive, how come? kingreignn was right sha about flooded cars, no how anybody will go and be repairing and replacing engine and gear just to sell the car at the auction being salvage, no financial gain involved..its much better to go for cars with obvious issues, maybe side dent or back dent 2 Likes |

Alvin007:Sorry about this. It's a case of fraud...they do that sometimes. A vehicle certified as Run n drive shouldn't have the problem u experience. Dont be in a hurry to change the engine or transmission. Let another mechanic look at the vehicle as someone already suggested. 1 Like |

happydude: Those are 16's right? They won't be hard to find even if they are 15's. Now to the cheaper option, find someone who welds/fixes AC condensers, they will reheat and reshape your alloys eliminating the bumps as much as possible. Won't cost more than 2-3k per wheel. |

Hello house, please a friend and brother has his eyes on the W211, I know some of them have peculiar issues, was wondering which of them would suit him (he is coming from a jap). Your suggestions and reasons are needed please. |
