So far it is tokumbo, it is a good buy in my books if you take good care of it, you should also check it’s history and carry a trusted and reliable mechanic along in the whole process.

But if nah Nigerian used, run very far away ohh
We Nigerians lack proper maintenance culture

When buying cars in Nigeria, what I check is availability of skilled mechanic that are relatively pocket friendly, that being said, I’m tilted towards the c300 cos I use it and it’s been great and I would definitely get another Benz as my next car, it gives me everything I need in a car, in you stay in Lagos, Clegg street, Ojuelegba has you covered on all Benz related matter

The Acura is good too, a friend uses the mdx, driven it once or twice and it handled very fine too

Me: I’ll pick the c300 over the TL everyday all day, I’m not a Benz or nothing gang member

08

As for stuffs to look out for, hmmmnnnn, I’m not a car guru sha

*History
*General cleanliness (interior, exterior, engine, mechanical parts)
*Mileage (a high mileage car isn’t too advisable)
*check electronics to see if they’re all functional

The car’s history, a mechanic and ur preferences are enough to help in buying a toks car

But a naija used, you need Jesus himself
Lol

My guy let me tell you something from the aspect of a guy who was once in your position. It's not about buying a car because you have a budget for it. it's how much is left in the account after buying the car that'd determine what car buy.

Let's say you buy a benz. You con jam, break front bumper, replacing it would cost you about 120k to 140k

For most Toyota product, you'd spend at most 80k.

You should at least be able to afford change both the engine and gearbox, just in case. Those are the most expensive things to replace in a car.

ES 350 gearbox na around 600k
ES 330 gearbox na around 400k.
Corolla gearbox na 300k.

Engine is roughly around the same price too.

I bought the ES 330 myself even though the ES 350 looks better. Reason being I was advised to avoid 2007-2009 because they usually have transmission problems.

After buying a new ES 330 I still had to change my gearbox, which cost me around 400k. Not to talk about other maintenance issues.

I love my ES 330 whenever it's in great shape. Do I regret buying the ES 330 over the 350. Not really, just for the difference in shape and I guess interior looks, but that really isn't a big deal to me. Cars are very expensive nowadays.

Acura TL? My guy no buy am, my friend used it, I preferred Camry interior to it, plus it's more expensive to fix in cases when you need to.

Rav4? I haven't used it, so I don't know.

Toyota Camry? Buy only 2009 or 2010. If you don't fancy speed, buy that with 4 cylinder

ES330? If you have no problems with the shape, buy that car, drives excellently well and when it comes to strong, that car strong pass anything. Telling you from experience.

ES350? Buy 2010 only, but you need more than 4m

Corolla? Buy 2009 or 2010. You will enjoy fuel economy and easy to maintain.

C300? You'll enjoy it so much if and if only you buy a good one, but expensive to maintain in my opinion when I can get a Japanese with almost the same features.

P.S. Welcome to the league of car owners. May God guide you to buying one that will give you little to no problem.

For the record, I’d pick the es330 over the es350 everyday and twice on Sunday (not because of the cost of purchase ohh), I’ve loved the es330 from the get go but that 350 ehn, I just don’t know why I kinda hate the car, especially that oval shaped center console, 330 is quite “relatively cheap” for what it offers

That oval shaped console is just the worst. And it looks just like a Camry. Should I buy a 2009/2010 Acura TL? I was looking at purchasing a 2006 Benz C200k, but now I feel it's old, and it's too small for me. I'm 6'2".

Well, the c200k is probably looking outdated as of now and I prefer to buy stuffs that could still look cool in additional 2 - 4 years plus from when I buy it, meaning the c200k doesn’t fit the bid

Acura TL 2010: I haven’t driven it but I’ve read it’s a great handling car and based on my experience driving a 2010 mdx from same producer, I could say it’s a good buy and would stand test of time both in looks, engine performance (if that’s your thing), comfort and otherwise but these depends on your own handling of the car overall
