Thank you. Why dafuq will i get a 2004 big daddy to a 2008 accord. I see no comparison at all. Whay you should compare with the accored is the toyota muscle

Look again, does this look like a big for nothing? Lexus ES300 is rebadged big for nothing, but Lexus LS is a different ball game. That is a car that will give a Mercedes Benz s class a run for its money, how dare u compare if with a honda accord?

Below is a 2004 Lexus LS430. Show me how a 2008 accord looks better.

The drivers need to be warned and instructed to latch the containers well. I just pray no one was injured.

I have seen many containers traveling our roads without being latched to the truck. Many of them.

I am talking about the year difference not same year. There is nothing fancy or fascinating or fantastic in the 2003/04 lexus ES, IS, LS, GS that will triumph over the evil spirit. like I said just engine and power output.

A 2004 Lexus Ls430 is still ahead of a 2008 honda accord. From the interior finish to entertainment system to safety features to comfort and luxury, the Lexus is far ahead. We are talking full size luxury against a mid size non luxury. U want compare the leather seats in a Lexus to that of an accord v6? Th difference is very clear.

Ok the accord is better in one area... Fuel economy lol. I don't expect anyone that drives a Lexus LS 430 to care about fuel economy.

nurey:
Don't succumb to anything, whether ES, IS, LS, GS, I still believe the Evil spirit will have enough gadgets as them only difference will be engine size and power output

Umm, I think u are mistaken. Honda evil spirit is no match for Lexus LS, they are far far apart. LEXUS ES is a rebadged camry so that I will agree. Lexus IS is a baby Lexus. But I still think Lexus GS of the same year edges the evil spirit especially because it is RWD.

kingreign:
Taa park well joor. Its a Lexus and its better by miles.

Taa, yes its a Lexus but actually big for nothing xle v6. 2008 accord ex-l v6 kicks its ass real hard. The accord is faster and more comfortable and more powerful. If it were Lexus GS300 I would succumb as it is equipped with RWD.

vani86:
Mecerdes aint a car that someone who is looking for something economical to maintain should go for.

Right. I was just making an illustration.

vani86:
My bad, OP it aint up for discussion 2008 accord is d way to go between the 2 cars.

There is no way you can compare a 2003 car with a 2008 car. Thats 5 years difference

Actually it depends on the cars. A 2003 Mercedes Benz E320 is still ahead of a 2008 Honda accord. Both are not in the same class though.

Aorund march this year my bros EODs gear box had issues...we bought 'para' gearbox twice before findin a fairly used one...the guy who sold it to us told us its a norm that we aren't d only ones who v had dat experience....he even said it is mostly common among BABY BOYs

That is ur own fault for buying 'para' gearbox. There are no china gearbox, either u buy tokunbo or buy one that has been worked on. It all depends on where u buy. And u need luck too because they won't give u more than 1 week warranty on a used gearbox.

melvo001:
Hi guys, quick advice, im having to decide between a naija used 2008 Honda accord or a 2003 tokunboh lexus es300, thanks in advance

If u like Toyota big for nothing then buy the es300 which is Toyota big for nothing xle v6 with slightly better interior.

vani86:
Thats a big downgrade. Instead of rx 300 go for 2003 or 4 highlander. If you live at a place where the roads are good get a honda accord or consider toyota muscle/spider they are roughly at s same price.

Earlier this montj when i wanted to get a car i was torn between 2008 accord and 2007-2010 camry. I ended up getting a camry

Op said Lexus es300 not rx300

mayorjosh:
Baba pick d lexus 300 ooo...considering the states of our roads..


Besides when honda starts its problems(esp gear box) it'll be hard to find original n durable one (original b like gold here in ladipo,lagos)


Fuel consumption too is also anoda factor bro

What are u talking about bro? Check the 2 pictures below and tell us the road the Lexus ES300 would go through that a 2008 Honda accord can't go through. And talking about fuel economy, how on earth can a 3.0L v6 be more fuel efficient than a 2.4L I4 when both cars are family sedan? I like the Lexus no doubt, but it is older and if the naija used 2008 accord is clean without abuse I would pick it over a 2004 Lexus es300. Mind u, the Lexus es300 is Toyota big for nothing with a Lexus badge and slightly better interior.

Oh before I forget, I never knew they have started making fake transmissions for Honda or what do u mean when u said it would be hard to find original gearbox?

I can imagine all the Xmas lights that will illuminate on the dash. Also not sure if security features like airbag and abs would work with this conversion.

airsaylongcon:
Charly24 seems to know nothing about cars. If u are talking fuel economy and a soft driving experience then Toyota wins. BUT if u r looking for a work horse with performance, great handling and tough Golf beats Toyota. For prestige (in Nigerians eyes) Toyota, for a workhorse Golf

Bros, I don't understand oo. Do u mean Toyota tundra is more economical than a golf and that golf is a better work horse than Toyota tundra? Pls enlighten us.

ganagagi:
pls how can you compare this two cars in term of durability and fuel economical,which one lead

Wait a minute, do u mean Toyota Landcruser vs vw golf?

adesegun121:
Am sure that is one of dangote truck..

Dangote dey renew his money with Nigerian Lifes since 1960bc

blood money....

That is not an intelligent comment, but u have just spoken like a typical ? . it is not only dangote that owns heavy duty trucks in Nigeria.

chucky234:
Toyota?
People dey discuss car you dey mention motor....

U just confirmed my point.

Readonee35L:
The g-wagon might not be pretty to you , but to many its A Beauty,

I also like the g wagon. Beauty is subjective, what is beautiful to me might look ugly to u. But let's look at it this way, if the g wagon was made by let's say Toyota (remove only the logo and put Toyota logo there with the same price), then half the people that think its beautiful will call it ugly. FACT.

FestacGirl:
Its Ugly As Fucq

G wagon has never been pretty, its just unique and that's it. It is what it is, and I think the owner just wanted it to be MORE unique.

Ferrari that is everywhere in some countries is a big surprise in one of the biggest city in Nigeria #omaseo. http://www.maxgist.com/2015/08/people-stares-as-they-spot-ferrari-in.html

It's not everywhere u see a Ferrari dude. Even in advanced countries, people still stare and take pictures when they see supercars on the streets.

Bravolet it seems to me ur a fault finder if u feel u ryt Wel Der r pple who ryt beta Dan u...... With what I have put down even an illiterate Will be able to deduce meaning from my post. If ur on nairaland to make corrections of all sort then your in the wrong place it only in academics that people look at errors and not the message being passed across. You Wil agree with me that it only you who is emphasis on corrections pple av made meaningful contributions so I charge u to do same. Tnks for your understanding.

Ummm, I can't read a meaning to what u wrote, does that mean I'm an illiterate? Oh and I also use a touchscreen phone.

The moral is this, u don't expect people that want to help to add more pressure to their brain trying to decipher ur choice of abbreviations.

We want results not pictures. Enough of this useless propaganda. Wake me up when boko haram is eliminated or their attacks stopped

Oga, its not too late to join the army. BH are stronger than most people think. You think it's easy fighting someone who is willing to kil himself just so he can go and get 7 virgins in heaven all in the name of jihad? Fighting someone who doesn't have anyone that will mourn him when he dies. Most of these soldiers have families and loved ones waiting for them at home. The same cannot be said about BH soldiers.

It is not so easy to kill them without collateral damage. How do u recognize them among other citizens? How do u know someone has a bomb strapped to his chest in a crowded market?

Bravolad has said it all. The Honda was abused before u bought it, that is not Honda's fault. Any car will give problems when seriously abused. I entered a friend's 2003 Honda accord v6 today and i was surprised. The guy was actually bragging that his car is in top notch condition because it was steaming white smoke while idling in the the rain. I was actually joking that we should exchange cars for a week (I drive an 05 accord I4). on entering the car I was so disappointed. Check engine light, abs, TCP, SRS, TPMS, maintenance required light, all where right there illuminated on the instrument cluster. I opened the hood found out the air fuel sensor has been disconnected , thermostat removed, and fans are working directly.

Now this car consumes a lot of fuel, but the owner doesn't care anyway. But tomorrow if he buys a Camry that hasn't been abused, then he will come back and say Honda consume too much fuek based on his experience with his own Honda.

Good one..network problem is the biggest iish to such great idea.

On the contrary network in naija ain't that bad as some people believe. I have been using debit card to pay for my shopping in naija and 95% of the times it works.

Abeg forgeti. School for the gifted ko. Can't u see the list of cars they recovered? Some old cars and buses without any form of security. Any mechanic would start those cars without the keys. Let him come and steal even a 2000 model Peugeot 406 or BMW with his wire let me see. This one is a Petty thief, not gifted. I didn't see any high tech cars in the stolen cars.

This rubbish is not even supposed to be o. The road in the first place

still don't understand why authorities still allow this thing to be driven on the road. Some people will say innovation but I call this madness. Seriously he would have built a keke instead of trying to combine a car with a jet or is it a submarine. Even the professional world biggest automakers know it is not a practical thing to build hence why we haven't seen them put it on the road even if they already have prototypes.

There is more to building automobiles than most people here think. It is not just building something that moves from point A to point B. The most important thing is safety of the driver and safety of other road users. There is what is called quality control and an automobile is tested for years for its safety and road worthiness before it is allowed to be driven in public. This is not child's play, is it until this thing cause a fatal accident before the authorities will do the right thing. Yes it's innovation but a silly one if u ask me and it is not road worthy.

No stick a Ford Edge Limited edition against a FX35 and let us see who the joke is on.Although I thought it won't be a fair fight so I included the MKX now that is a fair fight and Infiniti ends up with a bloody nose

If the price of parts not the source is an issue then the Edge is good enough

I should say the titanium trim is a fair fight

Oga forget, u are saying what u like, not what is practical. Lincoln mkx for naija lol. That is why nobody replied u because u must be a big joker to advice someone to buy that in naija unless u are some politician that have money to burn. It's not as if it is more expensive than a Lexus RX or Infiniti fx but its not not practical to use on this part of the world.

Now back to Ford edge. Even the limited is still no match for fx35. U realize the last fx35 was made in 2010 right so don't put a 2015 Ford edge against it. The fx is more responsive, faster, more aggressive, handles better, has better gadgets and made of more premium material than the Ford edge. The only place the Ford edge triumphs is that it has a little better fuek economy and quieter cabin. On top of all that, parts are still expensive and scarce and fx is even more reliable.

sultaan:
Or buy a Ford Edge and you will have all the same benefit of the FX35 and more or upgrade to Lincoln MKX Google not trucks

Ford edge against fx35 sha. U are joking right.
