Theres no difference in owning a merc or an ikon. Its the same.
The best part is when we get RICH we wont feel the pinch that much of owning a mercedes. It'LL be... Been There Done That. LOL!!
But then again.. Nothing comes close to it. Its a fun car to drive. Even in STOCK form it gives STAGE1 Modded cars a run for their money. |
LOL! Book? a thesis would be more apt and i bet the advantages and good things will end on page 1 with lots of space left.
You are right its good in its stock form too, with handling, steering response being the major factor even with stock tyres.

Its just not one problem that i can elaborate upon but ahost of them and as Dan mentioned, ill need a lot of space on elaboration, but just to give you a fair idea the had done a total of 120000kms till i had it, i bought it second hand and covered more than 20000kms in a little over a year and almost spent as much as i bought it for in that period as none of its parts were reliable and long lasting. To quote an example : I had changed its cluth plates 8000kms before selling it in mid Jan'09 and it was showing signs of wear to an extent that a month more and i would have had to replace it. And my foot is never on the clutch except for when i need to change gears plus i dont drive in peak hours due to my shift timings.
Rest is covered in various post and i will shortly be starting athread on the complete experience of owning it once i get another car. So watch out for it.

"hoping it will be
low maintenence"- you're kidding right?
If you ain't then you better tell your friends his hope will just remain as a hope and reality will hit him hard on his face.
