Mercedes benz comparision

[CarSaaz]

If we were to compare the following two Benz machines , which one would be better value for money ,experience , and above all oomph effect (shiska and bharam) also what major difference does any of the two give it a competitive advantage over the other. lastly your own personal preference and why ? Assuming both are in mint condition and well well equipped. Also comparing with both to keep in the US market and in Pakistan

2007 s550 sclass vs 2016 e 200 eclass

I will start off first ..Id go with the sclass anyday its better value and king of the pedigree in my opinion. Less than half the price of the eclass though im presuming its technology gets passed on to the next generation eclass .

oh comon guys??? no ones into mercs???

There is only one thing and one thing only where one would choose a w213, and that's the age factor. Other than that, both can no way be compared

[CarSaaz]

how does the 213 fall back keeping the aging factor out for now

[dayrider]

More modern, better drive assists, more options, being an e class, more nimble and user friendly.
The 221 is still upto date, a lot more luxury, alot bigger and quite a bit more classier.
Then a factor that is only used in Pakistan is bad fuel baring scale, that's where the big engines of the 221 take the lead, the high compression engines of the 213 can't bare bad fuel or missuage, a single mistake can cost one a piston, or a crank

an e500 201X under ownership since brand new, clocked approx 78000kms as yet. In islamabad we never faced any problem of fuel. always used Shell Super - from PSO pumps if Shell is not nearby.

Hard Core cluster maintenance alert cycle is managed by Shahnawaz.
Oil is always 5W-30 Shell Helix nothing extra ordinary or any imported names.

He was talking about 200, those are high compression, force induction engines. The e500 is natural induction, hence tolerates alot more than the 200

Ja zak Allah guys for the valuable input.... the 221 has gotten my fancy. I almost procured a 220 pre covid days in Karachi. despite being ranted over as the worst s class... it is still s class with premium offerings. Moving on to 221 , its on a league of its own especially the value it offers. The little guy 213 (under use in our family) is amazing yet i fail to understand why would i want to dish out so much jeffersons for it when a 221 is available for less than half the price with so much more bells and whistles.

[dayrider]

If it's a weekend or occasional car. 221 all the way, if it's a daily, 213 is more recent hence upto date and also light on the pocket

For weekends , occasions and those business meetings where ya gotta tell em who is TOP G lol. For daily runners you have toyota and honda.
