SportsHD:
Why didn't you get a tracker for your car?

Fogman:
Both vehicles comes with same 2GR engine, so fuel consumption is same.

Ebi4life:

The following should be your deciding factors:
1. Your typical route: if you traverse bad roads often, you are better off with the rx350 (which started in 2008 and not 2007).
2. If fuel economy is your primary decider and terrain is not that important to you, then the es350 is your car.

Maintenance is about same for both cars.

At OP, here contains main point... never buy Es350 If the route you ply is bad, u will regret it. And have it in mind that RX 350 consumes more fuel than Es350... And ignore that guy saying police stop one car more than the other. Nigeria police will stop any young guy be it one 1999 car u dey....

Bought October 2020, sparingly driven by a woman, travelled out of town just twice!!! This is a great buy!

majority of women knows nothing about cars. Any small thing, they call kazeems, when they have paid enough contribution to kazeem pocket, they opt to sell the ride... I don't know why car dealers think putting "driven by a woman" attracts buyer...

So this car Don pass a year for market stand. Shey nobody like venza again ni...

GOSPELTRUTH31:
If you can't afford it twice u can't afford it..

until dollar increase and u can't afford it even once again

Almost a month. Was OP car later saved ?

I don't know what usually motivate some dealers to be shipping this vintage vehicles at this current dollar rate and high competition in car market .... imagine carrying 2.2m to buy a 22 years old car when it's not driven by George Bush...

As long as you are in the sciences, you have less to worry about.

Barywhyte:
Manual, according to the technician. But is it that expensive? I really don't know. Money isn't easy to come by these days.

Do you have any idea about price of steering power for this Lexus?

If you have someone in Lagos, ask them to help you price it from someone that knows in and out of Ladipo. And Please let the technician give you warranty on the compressor. Tell him as you are paying this amount, you must not experience anything heat in your car for the next few years....

Because you see some of this ac technician, they are very quick to tell you to change compressor and they will be nice as heaven during the process, make slight complain after that, if the new compressor is not working efficiently or a yet to be identified issue is causing heat again, you will be shocked at the way the AC technician will treat you.....

If he can't give you warranty, better to close eye and order for Automatic compressor from Ebay... Lexus does not even deserve a manual compressor. It's a smooth ride, not meant to be making noise or jerking. Manual compressor can cause those....

Barywhyte:
Guys pls help me with information about prices of Lexus IS 250 steering power and AC compressor. I do not know yet the price of the steering power but an AC repairer told a tokunbo of AC compressor would cost me N68000. The AC seems to be working. Not super chilling though especially during hot afternoon and there is this this thick black liquid coming from inside the compressor. They told me the compressor is "grounded" whatever that means.

I'm told that I need to flush out this thick black liquid and that the compressor (N68000), condenser (N25000), plus flushing plus gas plus workmanship would cost me N120000. Is somebody about to rip me into pieces with these quotation? Pls help me oooo.

Note that the steering pump is located just the headlamp on the passenger side. Not located inside the steering itself and it uses both oil and electric

Hope the Technician told you they will be removing the Automatic compressor in exchange for a manual compressor... Am sure that 68,000 Naira is for a manual compressor

The GS350 is spacious, though slightly less than the es350 but ever so slightly. The IS350 obviously shouldn't be mentioned if interior cabin space is a consideration.

To the OP, the ranking is as follows:
GS350>IS350>ES350.

The GS350 and IS350 are AWD and handle better than the ES350.

The GS350 comes equipped with more options as standard than the es350.

I have a 2013 model GS350 toks with low miles. You can chat me up on WhatsApp. The price might just be right for your friend.

Your friend will also stand out from the es350 crowd in a GS350.

This your analysis get as e be. Putting Is above ES.

Biko , any good scratch remover? I don’t know who scratched my car where I parked it. Not deep scratches tho, it looks like fingernails or something.
I’ve seen a couple on jumia, I don’t know how they work

Gently use brake oil. If brake oil does not remove it, the paint have been scratched off...

southsouthking:
Dear auto expert in the house, my cousin is a huge fan of the lexus sedan, now he's about to get his first car and he his so confuse on which of this sedan models to get.
Please help with your advice and reasons for your choice.

Es350 top the list.... you will be frustrated on how unspacious the GS and IS are

IkpuMmadu:
honestly Na stupid people dey talk like this....as if they know all the prices of used Benz cars in USA....


did go and sit

Why is your reasoning so low like this bro. The question ends with "how true is this", ... are you just leaving secondary school ?... If you know all the prices of used benz in USA, post where to get a 2014 C300 for 3.5m (buying and shipping). If not, save your data and stop acting like a kid....

youngemperor:
This is actually what I'm Afraid of this is his first car, and I really don't want him to spend more than he bought the car in less than 3 years, by God's grace I will be getting my first car too by April 14th, for my birthday. I just need a car that will be very easy to maintain.

he should check the vin of the car to see the extent of its damage.......

IkpuMmadu:
someone told you how much he bought his car and you are still arguing with him.... do we have fixed price for cars

you guys argue a lot...he can buy it 2k or 20 million...it is not your money or your business

why argue the price ? ? na he even get time to tell you...person like me , I would tell you to go price it in car lot or jiji....

once you start making it in life, your reasoning will change, you will understand the purpose of asking questions.... there's even no argument here, this person is only asking how true is it to get 7m+ naira ride for 3.5m+, next thing, u dey display ignorance...

IkpuMmadu:
oga it can be true or not... depending on the source...it's Tokunbo for Christ sake and there is no fixed price ...it is always bidding and bids don't have fixed price

una too argue here...if you want to buy why don't you go and do research

you can bid for 5,000USD In Detroit and I bid like 2,000. USD in Michigan for the same car

so why una dey argue too much

honestly, na dumb people dey reason like this ... if you know where to purchase C300 2014 for 3.5M tokunbo, kindly indicate, if not, save your data and let reasonable people discuss it out....

IkpuMmadu:
why are you doubting person that bought his car? if he tells you what he bought his car,why argue with him


una too like wahala! abi you wan refund am

You are actually the wrongest person to have a conversation with...

IkpuMmadu:
that is the price for the car....Nigerian used....


your friend is correct, why do you guys doubt peo0le when they tell you ammount they bought their cars ...would you do a refund?

Read the message again, this time slowly till you see "Toks" .... and if anyone wants to sell its Nigerian used for 3.5m, just budget another 1m for repair...

Doveheart:
The water pump was changed to a new one and some repairs were carried out yet, my car is still experiencing serious overheating. Experts in the house, what else needs to be done that has not been done. Professional advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

before you change anything in your car, consult 3 different mechanics first. 1 kazeem, 2 professionals
