Here’s some important rules to go by: RULE 1 Make sure the car, when you buy it, is clean and WELL KEPT. You are buying the car cheap, but new parts for a used car cost just as much as new parts for a new car. We learned this the hard way: A (not so) little pothole on the freeway cost us $1200 for one wheel. RULE 2 Check the model year, and compare to the generations on wikipedia. You want a car that was first of its generation, and that will keep the resale value much higher. Just look at the prices for a 2015 and 2016 c class... it’s ridiculous. Also if you are in the latest generation, your used car will look the same as a brand new one. Check out these E classes: Thats a 2010 and 2009 e class.. the top one is tough to distinguish from a 2016, and the bottom is something you would find dusty in your grandpa’s garage.

Rule 3: Do NOT ignore what the car tells you. Don’t miss an oil change, if a part is wrong, fix it. People who think Mercs aren’t reliable are used to driving Hondas around with a check engine light as a permanent fixture. Not an option with these babies, especially for engine problems. Take them in, bite the bullet and just get stuff fixed. Rule 4: Expect stuff to break. Hopefully little stuff, but put aside some cash when you buy the car. I don’t agree with the expression I’ve seen plenty of places on the web, where they say “if you can’t afford a new Mercedes, you can’t afford a used one,” but their point is not to be ignored. Just know a couple pricey repairs will be needed, and even regular services can be expensive. If you keep these in mind, you can drive a beautiful, well built machine for a bargain. I have managed to drive around a 2007 Mercedes diesel SUV that has bluetooth, Harmon-Kardon audio, and leather everything for 13k, and maybe 1.5k in repairs over the last 2 years. Still a whole lot of car for not a whole lot of $$. NOTE Mercedes could serve you longer than any other car manufacturer, its all about the quality, you wont find the quality of mercedes in a Lexus. Even if a cheap mercedes is an expensive lexus its still worth it. Its history proves that https://www.quora.com/Is-buying-a-cheap-Mercedes-worth-it 2 Likes |

antagonist: "If I no buy benz wetin I gain" gang; the hype is just starting to be very irritating and becoming an eyesore especially with what young guys are now doing to own benz. There is nothing actually bad in using benz but I believe it should be at the right and appropriate time that its maintenance and whatever won't be big deal. 1 Like 3 Shares |

Hypocrisy is a deadly disease; I pray you get cured/delivered before it gets too late. If you must quote me, please do with common sense and not with same hypocrisy-eaten brain. Thanks |

A rich man's beard is a million miles smoother and fresher than that of a poor man! As the beard of a poor man is shattered like the sparks from a blown transformer A rich man who can afford a Benz couple with its maintenance won't lay a single complain about expensive parts. But the poor man who wants to do I pass my neighbor's by owning a Benz will definitely scream bloody murder when its time to walk the walk. Rich man dey talk poor man say him get idea If your salary is 50k a month, and u were giving a free apartment in maitama or asokoro paying for electricity bill ,water and others would eat deep into your 50k. Wont u rather go live in mararaba nyanya and be comfy? Not every one can afford a Benz,not everyone can afford first class flight,not every one can afford a Samsung or iPhone. No be to come here come dey say Benz ain't reliable. THAT ONE NA POOR MAN TALK ABEG. Poor man go tell u say him 1999 Honda is faster and much more reliable than a Benz 2019 Benz No blame am o,na the poverty wey dey inside am dey talk CityNGR: 5 Likes 1 Share |
