am sorry for poke nosing but it still beats me how people who can afford such cars come online to ask which to pick, and worst of it all looking for fuel economy in a highly luxurious beast among machines.

my opinion is for you to get into both, drive em for 20minutes if you cant make up your mind then which to pick, its better you continue managing UBER

Nutritious Nurey...making sense as usual.
Reminds me of when you said, most people who buy luxurious cars know little or nothing about its specs_ they just want a 'beast' on wheels.

I think his concerns are valid @availability of spare parts.

those cars he is buying are not less than 5million, if tokunbo or nigerian used, i think the TL is even more expensive than the CLS, now tell me if i buy a car 5million why should i have problem buying complete shocks front and back for 400k OEM

I buy car 5m>, no mean say I wan use about one-thirteenth of its cost to buy shock tongue or spend a lot on recurrent expenditure (fuel).
OEM parts are readily available but are expensive. It can also be frustrating if you are not car savvy or know a licensed dealership. Person go just buy those fakes ones that full Nigeria market.

Maybe OP wants to know if the Tokunbo parts are AVAILABLE (not necessarily cheap) in 'Ladipo'... lipsrsealed

If you don't want to spend much on maintenance it's better to cut your coat according to your size, am guessing you are size kolieeh grin

The CLS has parts identical to E class W211 03 to 09 guess the part could/may/might/probably be cheaper than the Acura which is a stand alone vehicle. I think the Acura 3.5L and 3.7L engine can be identical to the Honda and Acura of same year

this makes it clearer ...the Acura comes with v6 engine so I'll advise you go for Acura cos its more economical interms of fuel and spare parts availability but the CLS M. Benz engine could be v8 or v12

Kai madam small small, the Acura is a 3.5 or 3.7L while the CLS starts from 3.0, the most economical cannot be decided by make alone or cylinder other variables have to play in too
