When I can buy a sweet Lexus from cotonou wit less than 5m and spend d rest on my house project and family members...
Baba God no let my money miss road abeg!!

Poverty mentality �

Even if you get the Lexus or whatever you will still need more. Instead of praying for little. Put all your power together and pray for yourself to have the best of life. And I pray God make the rest of our life the best of our life.

I believe that's the car the emperor of Japan is driven in so even if you want to buy one it's not likely it'll be sold to you.

Let the Toyota fan boys come and buy it na.

There are enough Toyota models which aren't sold in Nigeria because Nigerians can't afford to buy them.

For example, Toyota Crown.

The old Toyota crown dey Nigeria. Those 70/80s own grin grin

The original Toyota Century was made in 1967 and it was it looked like a larger version of the 1967 Toyota Crown. The Century is very rare and it's mainly used by members of the royal family and the richest Japanese businessmen. The first model of the Century was not officially exported by Toyota.

The Century's main rival was the Nissan Prince Royal. The Nissan Prince was sold commercially, but the Nissan Prince Royal was only made for the Emperor.

There are many similar cars around the world. Stalin gave Chairman Mao a Zil limousine and the Chinese reverse engineered it to create the Hong Qi (Red Flag) limousine. When US president Richard Nixon visited China in 1972, the Secret Service asked for permission to fly in his Cadillac limousine, but Chairman Mao refused and said that the Chinese had enough Red Flags to cater for his needs.

3) Chairman Mao's Hong Qi

Soviet/Russian leaders rode in Zil limousines until Boris Yeltsin became president in the 1990s. Yeltsin preferred to use Mercedes Benz cars. However, when it was revealed that Vladimir Putin liked old Zil limousines, the company decided to make a limousine for him. They hoped that the Kremlin would once again use Zil limousines as the number 1 state car. Unfortunately for them, Putin continued to use Mercedes Benz cars.

Foreigners often say that Hongqi cars are immitations of European, Japanese and American cars. They say that the first Hongqi was a clone of a Russian Zil limousine and that this car, the Hongqi L9, is a clone of a Rolls Royce.

1) Zil 4112R

2) Hongqi L9 (the most expensive Chinese car).

The first model of the Toyota Century was made in 1967.

The second model was made in 1997 (30 years later).

The third model was made in 2017 (20 years later).

This video is about the second model.

Re: Would You Buy This 2018 Toyota Century Car For N55 Million? by naptu2: 10:29am On Oct 10, 2017
It seems that many people do not understand what type of car this is. I've seen people comparing it to cars like the Lexus LS series.

The Toyota Century is basically a rare 4 door limousine. Very few are made and it is not meant to be flashy. The original Toyota Century which was first produced in 1967 was modelled after the 1964 Toyota Crown and its design remained unchanged until 1997 (30 years). The second Toyota Century was first produced in 1997 and it remained largely unchanged until now.

The Toyota Century is not produced for export and it is only sold in a few selected Toyota stores.

The Toyota Century is not in the same class as the Lexus LS, Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 Series or Audi A8 (i.e. the luxury class). Rather It is in the same class as the Nissan Prince Royal, Bentley Mulsanne, Rolls Royce Phantom, Daimler DS420 and Hongqi L9 (i.e. the super luxury class). Mercedes Benz tried to get into this class in the 2000s with their Maybach models but they weren't succesful.

The Toyota Century has been produced for 50 years, but most people have never seen one. The Nissan Prince Royal wasn't even sold commercially. It was made exclusively for the Emperor of Japan. The Toyota Century succeeded the Nissan Prince Royal as the imperial limousine ten years ago.

It is highly sought after in Japan.
