As far as this our earth is concerned, the worst of Toyota; the least, barest, smallest, cheapest, lowest trim of Toyota Corolla ever made is going to be more reliable, dependable and stronger than the most expensive shitbox Benzedes will ever manufacture.
Ps. Benzedes is closer to Nissan on Consumer Reports US reliability list 2019 down there. Is it not safer to compare yourselves with number 14-ranked Nissan rather than jumping 17 places to be fighting and killing yourselves over Toyota that doesn't even know you exist at number one position.?
ogbuefi677: Exactly my thoughts. B/c of the activities of these miscreants who pollut this thread nonstop,for the 1st time,I strayed into the Lexus and Toyota thread. Lo n behold,everywhere was calm,no Benz owner measuring dick with them there. But their inferiority complex no go allow them comot for this thread. Even if we delude and deceive ourselves here,why can't these neer do wells let people be?
shortgun: Benz actually started making cars with tiptronic around 2000. You know Benz is always ahead with such features before other manufacturers will follow. Was surprised then to see OBD port in my 1986 190E.

Small boy. I have small time let me troll you
What Were The First Production Vehicles Equipped With OBD2? The list includes the 1994 Chevrolet Corvette, Buick Regal 3800 V6, Toyota Camry V6, Lexus ES300, and Toyota T100 pickup with the 2.4-liter four banger.
Also included are the 1995 Chevrolet T-Series pickups, Chrysler Neon, Dodge Stratus, Nissan 240 SX, and Nissan Maxima.
OBD-I The regulatory intent of OBD-I was to encourage auto manufacturers to design reliable emission control systems that remain effective for the vehicle's "useful life".[citation needed] The hope was that by forcing annual emissions testing for California,[citation needed] and denying registration to vehicles that did not pass, drivers would tend to purchase vehicles that would more reliably pass the test. OBD-I was largely unsuccessful,[citation needed] as the means of reporting emissions-specific diagnostic information was not standardized. Technical difficulties with obtaining standardized and reliable emissions information from all vehicles led to an inability to implement the annual testing program effectively.[citation needed]
Holding down 'Off' and 'Warmer' for several seconds activates the diagnostic mode without the need for an external scan tool. Some Honda engine computers are equipped with LED's that light up in a specific pattern to indicate the DTC. General Motors, some 1989-1995 Ford vehicles (DCL), and some 1989-1995 Toyota/Lexus vehicles have a live sensor data stream available, however, many other OBD-I equipped vehicles do not. OBD-I vehicles have fewer DTC's available than for OBD-II equipped vehicles.
1. The First Auto Manufacturer to Use Tiptronic Transmission was Porsche While different forms of semi-automatic transmission systems have been around since the 1930s, the first tiptronic transmission debuted on the 1990 Porsche 911. The German automaker developed the system as a way to deliver an automatic version of their flagship car without compromising their reputation for outstanding performance.
Should i get a Naija used Lexus es350 or a tokunbo es330.
PS.
I like es330 but the shape new and even when it gets old I dont really like.
Used ES350 if you ask me. Buy one that has not exceeded one year. It is the same as tokunbo. Afterall tokunbo na still person drive am, sometimes under worse conditions than the person who drove it as Nigerian used.
shortgun: Stop quoting me abeg. You've been doing this all over the forum. I thought by now u should have known that I am not interested is any banter with you. Most of you lack the ability to contribute on a topic without insults and abusive words. E pain me ooh cos if we meet for street and u insult me unprovoked; na hang boys go hang u for 5 days. Pls I beg u dont quote me again. Thank you.
Smallie, I hope you know that real life is different from online banter? Mind how you exchange words with your seniors because you will be thinking that every one you see here is in year one polytechnic with you until they'll play small reggae for you one day.
shortgun: Don't post things u are not sure of. Ask questions when in doubt or a little Google search will save u from embarrassment. Dont allow motor park touts give u an opinion.
[/s] Hey kiddie, stick to fantasizing Benzedes shitboxes and watching BBnaija Naija.
I will not discuss economics and shipping with a 17-year-old child that hasn't gotten a drivers licence yet. Unless you have to wait for your fellow Benzedes for Nothing fanatics
Tacha is shipping her benz from Naija to UK. Benz or nothing Go girl Let no low life quote me cos I dont respond to idiots and motor park touts
[/s]Shows the micro brain size of most Benzedes fanatics like you.
How can she ship a N1.5m overused shitbox to UK. Even the shipping and the import duty alone will likely outweigh the 2.5m naira they're selling the shitbox in toks.
UK drives right-handed vehicles. I wonder who ships a left-handed shitbox to UK.
Only a yoosless yoot that has enough time to be watching Big Brother will be as senseless to believe that nonsense..
This used 2005 Toyota Tacoma is 6.2m. As a matter of fact, it will buy some people ML320 in ten places and still have 200k change for Benzedes ML fuel guzzling
AmuDimpka: I am not pained, just that I consider you an irritant that's all
Can we call a day
irritant /ˈɪrɪt(ə)nt/ noun a substance that causes slight inflammation or other discomfort to the body. "a powerful skin irritant" a thing that is continually annoying or distracting.
radautoworks: You need the tundra not the Tacoma. Tow/weight rating is more because you said you're moving raw materials and the ride is better in a tundra as it was also designed to be a people mover so your family will be comfortable in it. The Tacoma cab is small and anyone in the rear will be uncomfortable. Every other factor you mentioned is virtually the same between the two. Used to work for Toyota.
This is a very nice advice although he can still buy Tacoma and put hauling cart behind his car when he needs to carry so much.
AmuDimpka: I was thinking that you said that you are the richest man , so how come you keep quotihg me...does it mean that you have less thing to do ..
Oga, na beg I dey beg.... No dey quote me, I no get this strength! Na beg I dey beg
. E pain am.
Lol. I have seen over 1 thousand people driving the same car I'm driving in my town. The only thing I remember telling you is that you can't tell someone whose car cost about 10x of the 1998 shitbox you're driving to "upgrade". I found out the thing still dey pain you.
AmuDimpka: Sometimes it can be harness wire , it used to stay at te back ! Also check your fuel pump ! But it's more of an electric issue ...get a good mechanic
Lol. See them don dey agree that their Benzedes na electric problem
falansa: I actually think I prefer es... What's the best model to go for within the range of 2-2.5mil that is worth the value and also good for Nigeria road
With that amount you'll tokunbo get Es330 with change. Es350 you'll get that minimum of 2.8 for tokunbo.
You can still buy a Nigerian fairly used Es350 for lower if you don't mind.
Na Lexus ES na. If you fancy something smaller you can go for the IS but keep in mind that IS ground clearance is very low so you will be having issues with your bumper if you always travel bad road.
falansa: Nice thread.. I am about to get my first ever car and I've fallen in love with lexus this past year.
With a budget of 2mil what's the best lexus car to go for?
I am actually a noob and don't know much about cars.
I need your help bosses in the house
SUV or sedan (salon car)?
As far as I know Lexus doesn't have bad car. It's not a brand where they'll tell you to avoid this model because the leg will pull on the highway, avoid this one, the engine is soft like baloon, this one catches fire when parked (like some European shitbox models), avoid this one it has SAMS or electrical or baloon shock issues. All Lexus cars are good but if you're not very financially willing in terms of maintainance, avoid the executive models like Lexus Ls, Gs, GX (Lexus Prado version) for a starter.
Start with any RX (SUV crossover) or ES (sedan). Make sure it's not seriously accidented abroad or converted from left to right. Also check underneath by yourself for rust.
rationalmind: Looks very ugly and awkward. Some will even put it on an 07 Camry .
I have never understood the sense behind these useless, cosmetic upgrades. If you so desire an upgraded version of your car, sell the current one and buy it. If you can't afford It, keep saving up till you can.
I swear. When they put Lexus-like bumper on 07 Camry, they start calling the car 012 Camry. Me, I'm looking at actual 012 Camry with no semblance with what they call 012 Camry and I'll be like "what the feck is wrong with these people?"
KINGreignn: Carry your lies out of this thread biko
They went and put bumper with 300k on a 2011 car and now call it 2018 model. The thing always look annoying and abnormal when I see it on the road.
This is the disadvantages of allowing Benzedes people upgrading to Lexus. They should stick with that bullshit on their C300's not on this precious car.
Alliswellmog: Hi guys. Please I’m about to get a car, I want to use it for e-hailing. It’s going to be my first car and I’m in a situation whereby I’m confused on which to choose between an 03/04 Corolla, 03-05 Camry and 08 Elantra. 9ja used(Na wetin my money reach for now ooo) Read a lot of review on these cars but I can’t come to reach a conclusion. I almost opted for the 08 Elantra. But I was told it’s parts are expensive ( compared to that of the Toyota’s) Please your advice is needed.
You have two of the best, reliable affordable sedans you can get and you still want Kia (Hyundai) to show you pepper first.
Old car has key while new one is keyless. Old one had roof hanger and the new one didn't. Also check the rims.
No wonder all these rich people once they reach their peak after driving Bentley and Rolls Royce they still go back to the ever reliable Toyota Landcruiser as their everyday car.. Nobody get time to dey sit for mechanic. Toyota na baba
& Barely 4 months after Nkechi Blessing bought herself a white Benzedes GLK shitbox to replace her Toyota Venza she has rushed back to the market and bought a black Venza after the Benzedes wanted to kill her with trouble
Reminds me when I left my Toyota Camry, after Benzedes C300 and Kia Sorento nearly finished my life, I went back to Toyota this time a Lexus
