RLX is a full-size sedan, why would you want that? Get the Q50 with a 3.7L, thank me later.

I looked at Audi too a while ago, wouldn't recommend. I think A4s from 2012 onwards are solid, though. Apparently, most of the earlier B8 issues were fixed around then.

I'm an Infiniti man.
Join the gang.

rationalmind:


Audi reliability seem to have improved a lot with their recent models, why won't you recommend?

The plan is to see if I can afford to shell out money for one with clean title and with less than 50k miles. Shouldn't have any major issues till I sell off around 100k miles. And it's not going to be a daily ride. Na for the special ocassion

The Q50 is still a serious contender and a back up plan.

Congrats on the infiniti, I don't take beer, malt is okay

HeavenlyBang:
..
We don't want you, face your Benz.

rationalmind:


He'll probably change his mind before then anyway

Lately, I've been thinking of my next ride and my indecision is something else.

I started from the Acura RLX to the Infinit G37/Q50 and now Audi A6.

You know I won't be surprised if your next ride isn't the Porsche, Lexus nor the infiniti

Chelseafan1:


Lol, I love that particular Lexus, ES 350.....I alaays stare whenever I see it drive past.....e fine pass dt ur own jor. Upgrade to the 2010 model na, make u dey gist us about am.

I dey fear when ds car go start hin wahala. If I drive small, I go off AC, make Compressor for rest small, I no get 150k to replace compressor.

The Supercharger, I can't even remember the last time I engaged it. I no dey run pass 100km/hr even if na Abuja I dey go.

HeavenlyBang:


Lol, all these Benz people sha.
Y'all know nothing beats the quality of a Lexus.

I no get money for that 2010 own for now. Buy for me na.

Your supercharger is always active, just spooling slowly when not at speed.

HeavenlyBang:

Yeah, newer models are very reliable. Hence, 2012+. But again, those reliability charts aren't for the Nigerian market. Those cars have more technology in them than even Mercs and you'd be sheat out of luck if something complicated brok down. Your 50k mileage plan is solid, though.

A GS350 is also worth looking at, imo. Personally, it's the only other luxury sedan I'd consider apart from the Q50.

There's not quite any reason for felicitations yet. Still playing the waiting game. Malt is always served, though, regardless of the occasion.

@bolded

Those ES350s are head turners especially the 2013+ models. Aunty radu will say a vehicle's "beauty" is subjective but I think the those ES from 2007 are objectively "beautiful"

Na who dey call me?

HeavenlyBang:


Beauty is subjective. The fact that I went on say that they're great cars should tell you I had no bad intentions. But keep looking for pity, you'll find none here. That persecution complex will get you nowhere.

Greenarrow01:
Why are you guys not talking about BMWs koyemi
They have cars with lovely interiors more than all these ones na

rationalmind:


Sorry, little mix up there. Actually thought this came from you.

Chelseafan1:
Hello my people, yesterday, I realized that, Naija fuel doesn't stop our cars from achieving the required MPG o.

On the highway yesterday, I got 28.4 MPG, 8.4l per 100km.....i was wowed.

If the journey had continued b4 I got into town, I probably would have gotten more.

HeavenlyBang:


It's a BMW that killed my uncle.

Forget that thing..... One thing will surely kill a man, he could have died in a lexus too...... RIP to the dead anyways. I don't love the BMW's interior that my money can comfortably buy for now. And the likes of Chelseafan1 won't let me but a benz with loud mouth. Na lexus/honda/Toyota all the way for now

Greenarrow01:


I am so sorry about that sir. I am really sorry
I dont drive above 100kmper hour
Max is 120
Do you think its really because of fast driving or something else
Abajoo BMWs dont have much cars on Nigeria roads

It wasn't overspeeding, bro. It was the shock from the invoice he got after his water pump and VANOS failed.


To even buy Benz tire me.

Greenarrow01:



Benz too expensive na the koko be that.. A good Benz starts at like 3.5m or 4m
Where people with 2m and 2.5m wan put head

I swear.. I even confuse for all these cars.
Shey I no go continue with my leggediz Benz bayii

nurey:


there are some vehiclethat. falls within ur budget that u can buy in naija .

2003 upwardsHonda crv, hrv, element starting at 1.4 m u use the balance for reversecam and dash screen.

Toyota Rav 4 keep away from 02 to 04 tokunbo with automatic transmission.

Suzuki vitara or grandvitara

KIA sportage

as for the 650 car worth I don't know what you intend to use the car for or what type of vehicle would be appropriate but taking a mechanic to check out the cars b4. purchase is always a good start .

as for the copart thing I don't think u need to give ur self headache and HBP over 1.6m just jejely look for ur choice in naija

ray48:




Why did u advise the Op to avoid the Toyota RAV 4 02-04 Auto Trans? Is there a problem with that? Kindly educate us.

Greenarrow01:

HeavenlyBang:

I've never actually driven the Crosstour or ZDX but do they really have visibility issues? After all the BMW X6 and GLE Coupe have similar silhouettes but no one complains about them.

Also, I don't think they were canceled for having poor visibility. They just sold poorly, I believe.
