Here’s why the cheapest Mercedes-Benz is often the best one to buy [MGC Ep 20]

Welcome to Benz Revival Episode 8!
Today, I explain why the cheapest Mercedes is often the best one to buy! The C-Class is known for its basic approach to engineering which stands the test of time. Here’s my 1996 Mercedes Benz and it’s holding a good portion of its original value due to that very reason!

I've just paid £500 for a 1995 c 220 here in the UK and one lady owner I can't wait until it arrives,two weeks and she's back from holiday,140.000 on the clock so now I need to sell my w203 220 CDI as it's nice but to modern for me

[@adnaabdi5443]

Just bought one coz of watching the Benz revival series though a few touch ups required but it's awesome

[@MasaiGainz]

Well done! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

[@julesgold01]

Greetings from the U.K.! These cars are unfashionable over here, but I really love my 1997 c180. Reliable, simple and easy to work on as you say. It’s great to find someone else who appreciates this model, and I really enjoy how you grew up with your W202 and how much it means to you. Great job on the restoration!

[@MasaiGainz]

Hey buddy! Cheers & hope you’re safe out there. I really believe these cars will be future clsssics. Thanks a ton! I think the w202 is worthy of restoration due to the solid build, great looks and epic M111 engine! Yours is a manual c180 petrol?

[@julesgold01]

Yes it is the petrol model. I bought it for 700 GBP on it 4 years ago and I’ve probably spent the same on it since. Cheap motoring! Have you seen this Top Gear review from 1993? It’s your car, man!! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYmulomPpbh2p80

[@julesgold01]

Mine is automatic, btw :)

[@MasaiGainz]

julesgold01 yes! I have actually seen the top gear review and it somewhat inspired me to bring my car back to life many months back !

[@kenyankhalifa]

I own the manual 1996 w202. It's a great car would love to feature it on this show

[@LondonCargoman]

I have the same model with 173000 miles on the clock. Best car I have ever owned. Getting parts is becoming an issue ...

[@tr.miritimimpwi3011]

I need this car.

[@joaorobertomarcolan6848]

Congrats!

[@joesaric1]

I have a W203 2006 but with so much electronic and complexicity I gave up and bought a W202 C180 manual. Just a Great car !

[@kmuinde]

The thud noise when closing doors is awesome

[@MasaiGainz]

Satisfying

[@richardcrighton8079]

[@kareramotorworld5645]

Love the video💯💯💯very informative...ur one of the best car youtubers in kenya

[@MasaiGainz]

Thank you!

[@shamsuddeenadamuyaro9775]

I am from Nigeria and I most say I liked your review. I have a Corolla 2009 and planning to sell it and get C180. Do you think it's worth it, and between the C180 and C230 which one is the best in terms of inexpensive maintenance cost? I don't really care about the speed of a car.

[@azanamwatasa822]

One reason am here you happen to have some of the best cars I have always wanted to own1 the Cygnus that classic benz ...if you only had a classic 1972 the W108 or 109

[@MasaiGainz]

Ha! Cheers man! Would love w123 or w124 some day!

[@anthonykizza3418]

Ohh you're from Kenya, greetings from Uganda

[@MasaiGainz]

Greetings Ndugu welcome to the channel

[@anthonymurage6146]

I have a 97 model. Where can I buy a wiring harness and do you have a reliable mechanic.

[@malikaparakrama7595]

I have a 1999 w202 C200 petrol 5 speed automatic one. It has a non turbo M111 engine.The engine is somewhat noisy. The noise comes inside the cabin also. Is it normal? Other than that, it’s a very good car.

[@fhatylion7302]

Is your w202 petrol or diesel. Thanks for the explanation and nice video

[@MasaiGainz]

Fhaty lion it’s a petrol 1.8L

[@fhatylion7302]

@@MasaiGainz Thank you very much.

[@schoolforall8603]

Am kind at cross roads now whether to sell mine off or to keep working on it....one part at a time...Here in Kigali Rwanda they are relatively cheap to get but the spares are damn expensive.

[@MasaiGainz]

That’s why they’re cheap to get, because spares are expensive and people not willing to spend to maintain. Here in Nairobi spares are good price, maybe you can source from here.

[@schoolforall8603]

@@MasaiGainz once this madness comes to a close I guess I will have to start sourcing some part from that side. I love my little tank,will drop some pics one of these days.

[@chrsndl]

Can you please do a landcruiser prado 150 review

[@MasaiGainz]

Sure !

[@ianmasinde7781]

Can you help me find a clean W202? Seen some but honestly most users don't take care of their vehicles

[@MasaiGainz]

Ian Masinde Ian, what are you looking to spend ?

[@EugeneOdang]

Is this w202 hunt a Masinde thing? Lol I am looking for one too.. and yes, my name is Masinde

[@victorokwara9927]

I know its a year down the line but where do you gate the interior spare parts from

[@akashpalmino1629]

Are you selling it?

[@EugeneOdang]

You selling?:D

[@MasaiGainz]

Nope but you can tempt me with an offer. Message on mgcyoutube on Instagram :)

[@EugeneOdang]

Not on insta.. left social about a year ago. Looking for a budget 202.. I doubt I can make a tempting enough offer now that you've mentioned 6000$ in your vid..lol

[@EugeneOdang]

I can play you for it though.. pick a game, time and location.. if I kick you I get the car for a loose 200k.. sound good?

[@MasaiGainz]

No chance

[@EugeneOdang]

@@MasaiGainz haha, worth the try
