You bought the unit that didn't come with the optional BOSE system.

My BOSE system far trumps my Lexus system by miles.....

Alright sir.. i get your point.
How about the premium fuel issue. Will there be any issue using our regular fuel for a long period?

I don’t think so.

I haven’t used mine for “long”.

Lemme call Heavenlybang and Kingreign to answer this question.

This has become my custom when those GLK350 guys, ES350, C350 guys want to fool themselves.

One guy using a 2005 Corolla S or so wanted to hear the exhaust note of my car. So, I gave him more than that and kept him like 100m at my back then later allowed him to get close enough to at least get a name to remember and research on when he gets home. I don’t even want to mention those guys driving Toyota Sienna or maybe 2008/2009.
Well, I’ve only chosen to let the “little children play” while I enjoy my BOSE speakers and 6 CD changers undecided

Any way to prevent that?
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Chelseafan1: 5:42am On Aug 30, 2021
Help me choose please, a former 2005 C230 Kompressor user.

I wanna upgrade, which of these awesome cars is my best bet, I love luxury, good handling, sweet drive, premium sound system and reliability.

Fuel consumption wouldn't be a problem.

I was doing 2k weekly on my C230k b4 as I don't travel much, I can comfortably do 5k Fuel weekly now.

Car will be to cruise around town, go to church on Sunday, go to work, visit few friends, do Lagos to Ibadan kinda distance once or twice in two weeks.

Help me choose from 2012 C250 Benz, 2013 Camry SE and 2011/12 ES 350 Lexus.....I can't seem to choose one.

Kindly state reasons for your preferred choice please. Thanks

Just buy the RX and rest.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 10:21am On Aug 31, 2021
The Lincoln is way behind in all the metrics you indicated for comparison. You must source parts for this car outside Nigeria.
The Lincoln didn’t get the best rating for handling or performance.

Now this leaves you with the FX35 and the RX350.

Both are great cars and reliable as long as you carry out regular maintenance and use genuine fluids and parts. For the metrics, below are my assertions:

Performance: FX35 wins
Reliability: RX350 wins (slightly more reliable)
Handling: FX35 wins
Maintenance: RX350 wins.

If I’m to add more;

Speed: FX35
Prestige: FX35
Easy to fix: RX350
Appeals more to criminals: RX350

Overall, I’ll pick the FX35 over the RX350 because I prefer quality ride, handling, speed, peace of mind, and prestige in a car.

I wish you luck in your choice.

Lincoln mkx is Ford edge which is Mazda CX-9 so the parts are available in the market maybe body shell parts only can be tough but who uses his car for road rage.

It's a dope ride.
Just budget between 8 to 10 milla, depending on your bargaining power though.
And run VIN check on it, so that you don't buy a LEMON.
