First of all, run away from anyone who asks you to bring 1.4m for an Rx330 ooo. Except maybe the person was quoting price for Rx300. A good and well maintained Rx330 starts from 2.4m-2.9m. Cheers 3 Likes |

My friend go and buy RX330. Forget that camry thing! |

expert101: My friend go and buy RX330. Forget that camry thing! Have you told him about the cost of maintenance? Have you told him about the availability of experienced and qualified mechanics? Have you asked him how much his budget is? All these factors come into play.... Not just for mere aesthetics and personal feelings. |

RoyalRoy: First of all, run away from anyone who asks you to bring 1.4m for an Rx330 ooo. Except maybe the person was quoting price for Rx300.@ bolded, you'd get a crap lemon RX, RX starts from 2.6m for the base empty carton type, and rises up to 3.2m for full spec'd option. If you wanna know much more about RX, I have written dozens of write ups on that vehicle check my profile. Op, I won't tell you what to choose. You know your planned budget, you know your maintenance lifestyle, you know how well you can handle routine or unexpected car expenses. You imagine yourself in your desired car. Choose whatsoever tickles your fantasy and would give you satisfaction. 1 Like |

lomomike: Have you factored in the year of production? Say 2004? Price is determinant on a number of factors. The cleanest titled 04 i have seen here in Texas wil end up around 2.4m in the end. |

RoyalRoy:Oh you're in Texas, I never knew you're talking from the point of view of Texans. In Nigeria, the Base model (empty kpangolo edition) 04 will cost 2.6m upwards. |

lomomike: Oh you're in Texas, I never knew you're talking from the point of view of Texans. In Nigeria, the Base model (empty kpangolo edition) 04 will cost 2.6m upwards. Lol @ kpangolo edition. I was in this Op's dillema too some years back. Choice exactly between these two cars. Maintenance was a big factor in choosing the Rx330. The Camry Xle was easier and cheaper to maintain. But I think I might make the move few months from now. Time to "move up". No pain no gain!!! |
Re: INDECISION: The Lexus Rd 330 Or The Toyota Camry 2007?? by Nobody: 9:42am On Aug 23, 2014 |
RoyalRoy: Lol, No mind me o! Hope you understand that the 'kpangolo edition' I refer to those models with Fabric upholstery, ordinary 1CD player audio system, normal speakers, no Navigation, no DVD, no power rear lift gate, no 'AIRs' air suspension, non HID (normal yellow head lamps H/L beams). I've never been in this situation before because I always do extensive research, visit car dealers to inspect the cars I have as my minimum standard choice, test drive, some to know their manners, visit mechanics to understand how well they can handle these cars when they develop issues if I can't handle these issues, and also detail on my budget to go for the trim level I wish to drive. |

lomomike: What you called "kpangolo" is not RX330, but the Toyota Harrier not made for the US market, it has a 4cyl engine in there. People are thrifty enough to pay that much for a 4cyl because they save on fuel after spending N2m+ 1 Like |
Re: INDECISION: The Lexus Rd 330 Or The Toyota Camry 2007?? by Nobody: 3:17pm On Aug 23, 2014 |
sultaan:You call it harrier a lot of people won't know the vehicle. When you call it RX330 people will. So best way to call it is RX330 "kpangolo edition". |

lomomike: My friend you don't know what you are talking...How much is 2001 RX in Lagos and Cotonou? In terms of performance you will get much better than camry. I know someone that goes to mechanic because of the low base line of 07 Camry. |

expert101: Your write up Don't make sense to me. Please review it and rewrite it again. Meanwhile, the OP isn't speaking about RX300 2001, he's speaking about RX330 2004-2006. In performance, A camry 3.5LV6 will eat up a RX330, but in luxury and handling department, the RX330 AWD will kill the camry 9 times over. When it comes to price, when was the last time you checked the price of a RX330 and a Camry 07? |

Why do Nigerians refer to American used cars as "Belgium"? These cars were never made in Belgium? Can someone explain this mystery? 1 Like |

My oga both cars are good, durable, fast, and fuel economy is very ok. But the camry gets greater resale value. Now for the performance of the rx330.. Vehicle type :ront-engine, front or 4-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 5-door wagon.. Engine: DOHC 24-valve V-6, aluminum block and heads, Toyota engine24-control system with port fuel injection Displacement: 202 cu in, 3311cc... Torque: 242 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm... Transmission: 5-speed automatic with lockup torque converter... Fuel economy (city) 18-20 mpg, fuel economy (highway) 24-26 mpg.. Tokunbo price in Nigeria is 2M-3M... Now for the camry... Vehicle type: front engine, front wheel drive, 5passenger, 4door sedan... Engine type: DOHC 24valve v6, aluminium block and heads, direct fuel injection.. Displacement: 211 cu in, 3456cc.. Power: 268bhp @ 6200rpm.. Torque: 248lb-ft @4700rpm.. Transmission: 6speed automatic with manumatic shifting. Fuel economy city: 22-mpg, fuel economy highway 31mpg.... Tokumbo price in Nigeria 1.5M-2.5M. So its ur choice sir but if I were u I would choose the camry because its faster |

lomomike:I was wondering where you saw cloth upholstery in Lexus Rx330. Because I'm expecting to pick up one shortly, and the few I've inspected are all Leather with Wood finish. The major differnces are usually; AIRs suspension, Sat Nav, and rear view camera. The Toyota Harrier is actually the model name in Japan, and the forerunner to the North American Lexus RX series. bimbor: Why do Nigerians refer to American used cars as "Belgium"? These cars were never made in Belgium? Can someone explain this mystery?Back in the 90's when it was Mercedes flat booth, V Booth, BMW 3 series, VW Golf, Nissan Laurel, Audi 80, etc that rock Nigerian Auto shops, those cars were usually imported from Europe, probably Belgium. |

chucky234: Another fake epistle. "...Lexus RX 330 is available with a choice of front- wheel drive ($35,775) or all-wheel drive ($37,175). It's powered by a sophisticated dual overhead-cam V6 with variable-valve timing, driving through a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The list of standard luxuries is long, and includes automatic climate control, premium audio, cruise control, traction and stability control, privacy glass, automatic headlamps, fabric upholstery, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The list has been lengthened for 2005 with eight-way power for the front passenger seat, ten-way power for the driverseat, wood and leather trim for the steering wheel and shift knob, AM/FM/CD stereo, and a power rear liftgate (previously optional) that's easier to use than before." autos.aol.com/cars-Lexus-RX+330-2005/expert-review/ "3-point reel rear seat belts on driver side, passenger side and center side Rear seat center armrest Three asymmetrical 40/20/40 front facing reclining rear seats with fore/aft adjustment and zero adjustments Automatic operation rear view mirror Remote audio controls Remote fuel filler door release Front and rear roof airbag Front seat back storage Seating: five seats Upgraded cloth/velour seat upholstery with additional upgraded cloth/velour Service interval indicator Front side airbag Eight speaker(s) Wood & leather electrically adjustable multi- function steering wheel with tilt adjustment and telescopic adjustment Tachometer" www.motortrend.com/cars/2005/lexus/rx330/specifications/interior.html |
