Endsars2020: Yes I said that....and I stand to be corrected any day, any time, twice on Saturday Stop watching all those cheap Indian YouTube channels, I dey tell you.... they'll mislead you and u go yarn shit for public, before you realize, it'll be too late cos you're ridiculed already I'd prefer you go to reputable websites like; Edmunds.com(LR=7.9/10 vs MB=7.0/10) Cargurus.com (LR=7.5/10 vs MB=7.2/10) Carmagazine.co.uk (Chose LR) Zigwheels.com(LR= 4.6/5 vs MB=4.4/5) Cars.com (Didn't rate) Asburyauto.com (chose LR) Motor1.com (draw) Carandbike.com (chose LR) Carbuzz.com (draw) Just to mention few If atall u wanna use YouTube for comparison, use Supercar blondie Shmee150 Motorcar trend Carwow...those are the ones I dey use, especially supercar blondie Believe me...after series of reviews from different sites/users, even apart from the ones above, more than 80% of them chose LR defender as a better off-road/overall car (do the research and see for urself) Those websites are the top 9 best car review sites.... check Google to prove me wrong So why the hype for the G class when you could get such (sorry, I mean 'more than') service it offers for 3X lesser the price it's being sold LR defender is the best value for money bro U can also refer me to someone reputable sites that claim G class is better than LR defender... I'll be glad to see at least 5 sites that claim so Stop following the masses and do ur personal research before yarning ...carry all the car gurus here on nairaland to tackle me, I'm ready to prove them wrong the LR defender is the best value for money than the so called Benz u dey shout up and down Abeg if u no know anything about cars, abeg no mention me ooo...cos I go completely annihilate you ooo....I be car person, I dey tell u Newdelhi Tenshades Bobxin Basher8583 CaptainZubi Come and see another ignorant "Benz or nothing crew" disgracing himself here publicly 2 Likes |

The philosophies behind the Benz and the Lexus are totally different and hence the reason this argument isn't going to end. In Nigeria (abeg forget abroad) the Benz thrives on class while the Lexus thrives on functionality, economy, resale etc. The Benz star means a lot to Benz users while fuel economy and maintenance cost means much to the Lexus guys. However the OP is looking at the number of these cars on the road and Yes there are more Lexus not that Benz is fading away because the acceptability of Benz is coming up very strongly and there are more Benz cars on the road now than in the past 5 years. 1 Like |

IkpuMmadu: Stop deluding yourself my brother. How do you enjoy an unreliable car. MB are glorified lemons. They don't even stack up with the top 20 most reliable cars. https://www.carmax.com/articles/most-reliable-cars Even our local Auto partners don't agree with Benz on the reliability scale. https://autojosh.com/15-reliable-cars/amp/ I don't need to have a garage full of lemons because of one funny philosophy. Cars are bought majorly for reliability. Comfort is an incentive. A comfortable car that cannot give you reliability is a certified lemon. The other day some jerk was wailing like a baby because his newly bought MB E class spontaneously caught fire on its own in his drive way with no sign of arson. It was so funny and surprising that I did my research just to find out it was true https://money.cnn.com/2017/03/03/news/companies/mercedes-benz-recall-fires/ My boss sold his gl450 4matic 2015 for dirt cheap due to automatic shifter problems which were ridiculously expensive to fix. If you know how long it took him to sell that junker. He later went for the Lexus LX570 and he just can't stop talking about that car. 2 Likes |

Funflipper:Seriously? Or you just want to type? Lemme show you a picture from carvana for the 2012 models of the Lexus and the 2011 of the benz. S550 is a sedan while the rx350 is an SUV. No deh there just the yarn, talk with facts.

lebete3000: It’s ok Just go for the compressor Cheaper to maintain, although the 4matic gives a better ride. Used to drive the v6, great performance for its level... |

ElPhoche: You do the math: 2011 S class MSRP: $158,000 Price after 10 years $22,590 2012 Lexus rx350 MSRP: $39,000 Price after 10 years $18,590 People don't buy them because they are money pits and that is why they hold no second hand value. Buy one and the beautiful chic will spend more time with the mechanic than you cruising her.

EkelediliBuhari: I don't think there's a c240 kompressor. It usually comes in Avant garde, classic or elegance most times. I'm planning the buy the German made from mobile.de, but their prices they scare the shit outta me... |

Funflipper:Baba, check the mileages You no go deh use car weh dem use deh drive kabu-kabu deh compare nah. I don't understand the point you are trying to make about depreciation in cost over years. I saw this post on Facebook about it. It is not unique to Benz. It is usually hinged on demand among other things. Just like how PS5 goes on $1000 on Ebay, even though it is not exactly the same. |

Re: The "Craze" For Benz Is Gradually Fading, Lexus Is Taking Over by Funflipper: 4:59am On Dec 30, 2020 |
ElPhoche: That was on purpose because I knew you will point that out. A 2008 Lexus gs350 with over 200,000 miles still holds better value because the life span of a Lexus begins at 200,000 miles. All you need is routine oil change unlike the s class with same milage where almost all the components in the engine would have been replaced for it to even crank. |
Re: The "Craze" For Benz Is Gradually Fading, Lexus Is Taking Over by EkelediliBuhari: 6:40am On Dec 30, 2020 |
IamSoProlific: It’s a nice car. Used it for 6months now. It’s gear selection is cranky but that’s nothing to worry about. Acceleration and top speed is great. Watch out for the brakes, they get work out too fast if you are a furious driver like myself. Stick to specified oil (mobil1) and other fluids. |

[quote author=Bobxin post=97502252][/quote] It raised 2 million dollars doesn’t mean it would be sold at 2 million dollars in every dealership sir Know the difference? The third picture is the real sales value of the said car that raised 2 million dollars
