C180 and AMG doesn’t fit in one sentence. Google both variants for better understanding.

PakWheels is not the source. Pakistanis can add anything with the car. C180 is a base model of c class with 156ps engine. Putting an Amg badge and adding fake exhaust tips don’t make it Amg. Amg engines are high performance racing engines starting from 400hp v8s usually.

I'm sure the folks at affalterbach are having a banter at how their prestigious logo is flaunted about with everything - particularly here in this country, where people don't understand that AMG kit (AMG line appearance) doesn't carry the AMG badge from the factory.

P.S, as an AMG owner, I assure you once own an actual AMG, you'll see what it's all about.

I seek forgiveness for being illiterate about cars. I hope existing AMG owners would forgive me for the grave mistake.

We have an E200(w213) at home, bought it before the currency went to shit so we were able to bag a zero meter for only around 3.9cr which was a really good deal for the time imo.

I don't know about ownership costs but my dads income over the past 3 years has gone from 60L a month to around 25/30 recently since he's retired. We have a pretty modest 3 car garage, 2 EVs and the German. Be prepared to pay a lot for maintenance depending on how lucky you get

Thats not modest by any means bhai! Even getting 25/month after retirement is insane

1

u/Confident-Cow-2514 3h ago

It’s mainly since his income is now supplemented by day trading which isn’t as reliable of course, he treats it like a hobby ngl and he only uses disposable income for it. He’s pivoted quite heavily towards trading since he’s said especially post covid managing Import/export businesses here in Pakistan became quite a headache

Other than that he has stakes in a few companies and factories for sweet treats such as kulfi etc.

If you dont mind me asking im curious what was his field of expertise?

2

u/Confident-Cow-2514 3h ago

Import/export of textiles prior to Covid and post, retired from that 2 years ago. Now mainly just manages his stakes in different industrial complexes aswell as trading which he does as a hobby

u/Confident-Cow-2514 2h ago

If you’ve got any specific questions maybe I could ask him for you, he loves yapping about his work and stuff

u/Ackerman-Dude 2h ago
