Please experts in the house, I need advice. I'm looking to get my first car also married with babies on the way. My choices are a used Honda accord 2009, Honda civic 2008 hybrid toks and a Toyota camry 2003 used. Budget is limited at 1.2.

Secondly, are hybrid cars advisable in our environment?

Thanks again.

. Forget the hybrid due to finding qualify technician and original parts

For your budget rhe camry 03 will serve you well.

Safe delivery to your wife

So I'm looking at lexus es350 2009-2010 model with a budget of 2.7-3mil.

Is this a good option? And odometer of 120,000-160,000 from copart is it still a good buy?

Please advise bosses. I'm open to more options if need be.

Thank you

Yes, good buy. Enjoy.
If you want something a bit different, look at a 2009/2010 Acura TSX.

Did he also tell you that the engine is a 4.6L V8 engine and transmission bullet proof but generally the car turns head, it is a full size big sedan probably same fatness as a W140 S- class.

I don't know much about its reliability or ruggedness but it can be kept as a classic if it is still in mint condition

Crown Vics actually are very solid. Not sure about parts availability, though.

Yeah, you will just spend more on oil than others.

Would just rather avoid the hassle, except if car is relatively not as expensive compare to other competitors

Look carefully, people. Here's one more confirmed case of village people manipulation.
Na express you dey go, bros, no try am.


Buy a toks GLK and enjoy your car. I absolutely love the BMW X6, and I'm a pretty brave person when it comes to car purchases, but even I would never buy an X6.

Plenty of cars burn oil. Nissan's VQ burns oil, Honda's J37 burns oil. You can live with it. It's not such a big deal. Change oil every 2500 miles and you're good to go.

Thanks for the information.

I’ve heard the cost of maintenance is high for BMW X6.

Please any reason you advise me not to buy the X6 instead? As I know it offers more power and performance than glk350

It's a money pit, and I wouldn't wish it on someone I know. Great car, otherwise.

GLK is built on the C Class platform, so shares plenty of parts.

Hmmm. Close one, but I'd probably still take the ES tbh. Will be the more refined ride, though it's not like the ES rides amazing or anything.

That aside, though, the Camry is the more sensible choice imo.

But the camry is certainly more expensive than the 08 ES. Though out of the box the ES possibly has more luxurious feel.

Camry has 4 cylinder the ES doesn't so expect better mpg from the 4 cylinder camry. In terms of cost of parts the ES has lower price for parts since it is shared with the XV40 07-12 camry.
