nakoks: I actually visited a friend here at surulere Benz markets to have an idea of some parts, like the engines, gears, SAM and underneath. He educated me on parts I may have to change often. Generally I discovered the c class has the cheaper parts. On my own, I love the e class interior. I have told my brother to check for a e320 that is not 4matic. Thanks nakoks 1 Like |

weyreypey:Sir, I got to know that the benz is C230 1998 model as against 1999 model the seller told me. Is their any difference between 1999 and this 1998 variant? Can I still buy? |

weyreypey: Bros please what model of Mercedes do you drive and what is the experience like? I asked because I may want to opt for the model and feed from your knowledge and experience. |

Musty4ahmed1: Bro..all you are looking for is in the VIN. Get the VIN and do a search online. All details will show up. Nigerian car sellers can be deceptive especially with the W202's cos they dont want u to know how old the car is? N.B: A W202 that is shipped from the USA with model year 1999...is actually a 1998 model manufactured in 1998 in Germany and shipped to the USA. I dont think they had plants in the USA until like 2000. The merger with Chrysler was a major gain in this path. 2 Likes |

Musty4ahmed1: What should you be on the look out for? * Please test drive the ride. Drive it enough to experience gear changes from 1 - 3. It's important. * Watch the temperature gauge. You want the gauge to be at 90 - 95oC and the fan should pick up at this instance. The temperature rise should be swift too. * When you power on the car, you DON'T want your fan to start immediately. If it does, then that's a red flag. The thermostat and coolant temperature sensor might have been disconnected, the engine must have been ran cold for as long as the seller has had it in Nigeria. There might be engine issues ahead. * Test drive on rough roads to know how much you will incur on shocks and wishbones. * Make sure you arrive when engine is cold, so you know if the seller has a defective MAF by being on the look out for the tachometer fluctuating rapidly b4 stabilizing. * While test driving, watch the fuel gauge and check if it flunctuates. If it does then you will deal with a defective fuel sender unit later on. * Check and make sure all dash lights are functional, all window controls too etc. Check for oil leaks. 4 cylinders can leak oil. Some of these points will help you bargain a lower price, while some are pointers that you shouldn't buy it. You can post the pics here....cos I think there are very few W202's that still look pristine in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Teknireich: You have done well. On the issue of VIN, some of the site will ask that u order for the full VIN report of the car, which is about some dollars. Without that, they will give u half report on the car. Please if u have a site that gives full VIN report u can post it here for us. Thank you. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Musty4ahmed1: 8:45pm On Apr 20, 2020 |
Teknireich:Thank you, this is so helpful, I don't know anything you just stated above, but when I go with my mechanic I can refer him to look out for them. |

conductor260: Funny you. To me, there's no bad car so far the parts are readily available at the local markets. Today I also learnt that 2003 to 2006 corrola engine and gear are more expensive than e320 2003 to 2005 engine and gear. 5 Likes |

Good evening all, Please I need your informed advice on this. I want to go for Mercedes Benz ML350 2011. Is there any particular issue with this model/year? I look forward to your contributions. Thank you all in advance. |

I removed the two terminals of my c320 battery and touch them together for about five seconds then later connected the terminals to the battery. When I insert the ignition key and turned in on, I saw many signs on the display and the engine refused to start again. It will want to start and go off each time I want to start. Pls want do I do? |

loba18:The person that taught you that didn't tell complete the story. The Benzedes may need engine replacement every few years that's why it's cheap but long after the Corolla body has mangled, disfigured and gone out of trend and the owner no longer knows what to do with it, the engine will still be bought by boat makers and factory operators to power their machines. Nobody really wants to change Corolla engine that's why its more expensive. ![]() 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 8:49am On Apr 21, 2020 |
conductor260: I disagree with u on this. All those using corolla that I came across have changed their engine. It might interest u to know that, some of my friends who use Benz haven’t changed their engines. Moreover not all Benz engines are cheap. Go price M271, M272 and above report back to us. 4 Likes |
