It all Depends on the kind of road around where you stay and the roads u ply on daily basis.

Benz is more executive,exquisite and high class when compared to the Camry but it has high maintenance and parts are more expensive. What I love about the Benz is the balance it has wen driving in sports mode.


Go for Benz if you stay and ply on tarred/semi-tarred roads or go for the Camry if the roads around u or u ply are not that good

Well both cars are good to be Honest
The Benz is V6 while the camry can come
In V4 or V6
Luxury == Benz
Maintenance= Toyota
Speed = Benz
Fuel mileage=Toyota
Reliability = Both are good
2nd hand value = Toyota
Well it depends on the purpose of purchase tho
I’d go with the Toyota
That’s just my personal opinion o�

Looking at the age and maintenance, the camry is much younger and easier to maintain. Looking at Prestige and performance, the Benz is more respectable and durable. Choice is yours.

That Benz is a machine. I had my share of it and I wasn't disappointed. But dude the maintenance no be here. I remember when the shaft in mine had issues and car was just revving on D. I practically had to doze out 150k for shaft from ladipo apart from other stuff as a fact, the least I spent if the car have issue is 20k. So unless you can spend and spend when the case comes up just avoid it. As for the Toyota. Am not a fan of Japanese and the only time I tried Japanese it ended in premium tears. I crashed my Lexus 2 days after purchase and when mouth too dey my body to buy a easily maintained car, i got that camry tokunbo qnd few months after its still parjed somwwhere while i await 22pin gwar from ebay. So if you are heavy on the pedal like me not minding the corner or terrain bro just hug that Benz and the problems that comes with it. And about fuel consumption the above statement is false to C300 doesn't Consume like that.


Better still try an Audi. Audi A8.... That girl is the OG

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have narrowed down my choice of ride to these and would like to know their pros, cons and overall value for money pls... I can afford 150-200k for annual maintenance

They both are of the same price range hence my confusion.

This might be off subject, but as a car enthusiast and dealer, try a Kia Optima

You will thank me constantly. We really don’t experiment with cars in this part of the world. We only stick with the conventional brands and we fail to experience the joy the rest got to offer. You can HMU �, I have one from USA I’m certain you’d be glad to have
