I’d take the BMW if I have a competent auto guy that can fix it coupled with the cash. Since this is may not be available at your end, I’d suggest you take the Lexus.

Where are you based? And why would you choose the least preferred BMW over the highly vaunted Lexus, and the temperately accepted Benz

The BMW is the best car there. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

The BMW will give you a spectacular driving experience that you won’t get from the other 2. It has a better drivetrain (RWD), better handling and braking as well as suspension. It’s fast and commands more respect. Based on interior, it has quality materials and wood grains. It is not popular on the average Nigerian road.

The Lexus IS not as luxurious as the BMW though it’s easy to fix by most technicians. It is the most common but durable amongst the 3. It has now become a “regular” car that almost all young folks buy as first car. It has a nice sound system though but still doesn’t give the experience of the BMW.

Mercedes doesn’t have the most appealing looks. I’d have preferred the W203 C350 instead.
The C240 is a “weak” 2.6L V6 engine and doesn’t give enough power. In this case, I’d pick the C230 over the C240. I see the W203 C240 as a car that a “wannabe” Benz owner will stumble upon.

If I wanna own a Mercedes C-Class, I’d go for the W205 and above.

These are my opinions and would hold true for most people based on experience and reviews from other users.

Hanhan! Guy take am easy na...W205 na around 2014 model and above ooo. So guys wey dey cruise even the exotic C300 na still wannabes?

Well na why I ask you your location sha, cos it's apparent you're not based here in Naija.

Even dudes based abroad would leap on the Lexus without thought.

Watch this YouTube video of a Lexus that has lasted 596,000miles and read through the comments of even Oyinbo people, then you agree sey Lexus no be these guys them mate.

It might be a boring car, but what's the essence of you almost always expecting something to break when you rev up your engine! *in Scotty Kilmer's voice* grin

I hardly sell naija-used vehicle except I know the history (purchased from me or used by a close FnF).

I would advise you check from your close contact list so you can possibly avoid unpleasant stories. Anywyz, Honda vehicles ain't that prone to theft. Good luck.

Both great cars.
TL with SH-AWD drives better. Parts can be expensive, though, especially body parts.
Both luxurious.


I would buy the TL SH-AWD.

Go to a car stand and sit in the two. Would help you make the decision.
