Same as the car.. WELP!..

this baby looks real familiar

CheerfulGiver:
I shed tears when I see deals like this and remember that somewhere in Nigeria, someone is about to pay this same amount for a dead ass 2006 Toyota corolla.

i laugh heavily when I come across a dead 2008 ford edge stranded along Lagos ibadan expressway with the owner and his luggage trying to flag down a man in his 2006 Toyota Corolla which has made that journey 20 times without so much as a tyre issue

look at this naive person comparing a 2008 Ford Edge with a 2006 Corolla, that comparison alone shows that sense is far from you

if you are so clever, why don't you import just 1 2008 Ford edge and see how long it would take you to sell it, Ford Edge that isn't even particularly reliable in the country it was manufactured, is what you want to compare to a 2006 Corolla with reliability percentage in the 90s and tops the list of the most popular cars worldwide

at the end of the day, your money, your problem, just don't make unnecessary comparisons borne out of ignorance

Twob:


I married with a kid, stays in Ibeju lekki, monthly average income of 150k, good fuel economy and performance

leave all those fancy for nothing Benz models, they are overrated and would not suit your priorities

the other poster was right, fuel economy and performance are often in opposition, unless it's a Tesla or some other unconventional car

sticking to your alternatives I would suggest the 2007 RAV4 4 Cylinder 2WD , reasonable fuel economy and ground clearance

but you should consider starting smaller, if this is your first car, stick to the basics, a 2005/06 4 Cylinder camry or 2005 - 2008 Corolla should be fine, considering your stated income, the camry oil burn is not as dramatic as you may be led to believe

She got my back, me blushing ... Beauty and brain and business minded

when Glen catches you

sorry go be your name

Twob:
Hello my people, need help as advice for buying any of the three vehicles. Pls

some of these comparison requests are ridiculous

you just essentially drew 3 cars from different categories from a hat and asked for advice without any context

are you single or married? married with family?

the above would determine the size category that would be most suitable for you

where do you live? or what kind of terrain would the car be most likely to be driven on?

the above would determine the driving and other characteristics, 4WD, ground clearance, etc

what is your budget? where do you live? how economically stable are you?

the above would determine everything, those 3 are from different price categories, maintenance and parts also cost different

what are your priorities? fuel economy? performance? class and prestige?

please reconsider these and rephrase your request

or don't

searchng4love:
Beautiful. But I hate it

mynd44 and lalasticlala, this is specifically for you

there is nothing wrong with banning posters who break the rules, but do so with fairness and without bias

one poster has owned and owns ALL the following monikers over the years

timifakay:


What does he need a gang for?

When he is a legion:

NgcoboP, Praxisnetworks, Smartchoiceng, SmartchoicesNG, angels09, searching4love, searchng4love, dipolivo, Kosplay, smellingmenses, iLickAnalFungus, Menstrualpad, Antagonist, Smartchoice900, CityNGR, Weyreypey, legalo, Asamwababy, Smartchoiice

his usual tactics are to derail and insult other posters on a thread, then call the moderators and get the posters banned, only to login with another username and continue on a different thread

i am only bringing this to your notice because of his latest actions on the mercedes benz thread, and your cleanup of the thread

justice should be universal

so all this long story na to just advertise book
nothing person no go see for this place

Kashif:


Phew!!! Its been a long while....

Could be anything from VB to solenoid to strainer to ECU. It needs a detailed check.

I'm taking a walk from trannies though.....

NB: Inception, you seem to have something with trannies...

inception has a thing for trannies?

interesting tidbit

how did you come by that information?

radautoworks:
Fact of the matter is if you have a stable, it's not complete without a Benz. You can argue of you want all day but you know it's true. Damn near every single person with a stable has a Benz in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you've been making a lot of irrelevant posts lately, what's the matter?

you keep generalizing and manufacturing facts to suit your narrative, whose truth is that? i know a number of people with "stables" who completely bypassed the hype brand living on past glory and headed straight for real performance cars

the other category of Benz owners i am familiar with own late model examples, not these outdated decades old models all the noise makers on this thread push about

you will never see an actual Benz owner post on this thread, it's all the 1994 W124 managers that keep spouting nonsense

.

9icetoo:


Toyota gives them mouth diarrhea.
A lot of car options were never a first on Mercedes. Other makers (ford especially) recorded these firsts.
To the guy that thinks using a remote to get windows down is a big deal, 2007 Honda city (yeah the shittest box) had electric steering and paddle shifters before your c class.
Let that digest.
Oh, it also beats the c230 in a 0-60 sprint with less than 110 HP.
Oya, come at me.

wait, is that also a merzedes brag? rolling the windows down with the remote fob?

loooool

I hate to break it to you benzedes nutters, but a 2005 lexus es 330 does that too

all four windows AND the moon roof

and that's just the locally ubiquitous model

the 1999 Toyota Crown V8 also had that function, the 2 front windows can be rolled down or up with the remote fob

Smartchoiice:

Toyota is "perfect"

still decades ahead in reliability compared to any mercedes deathmobile

drive your merzedes into the lake of fire, good riddance

please accept my highest assurances that nobody will miss you or notice your absence

leTrizzle:

The average mechanic is scared of V6 engines and would always advice against it.

smh

please what kind of people give advice in this cartalk? it's already bad enough on the mercedes benz thread with all kinds of ignorant children posting nonsense and the elders that should know better are joining the fray

the 2006 Camry 4 cylinder is the 2AZ engine which is the oga patapata of engine oil burning

the 2006 Camry V6 is the 3MZ engine which was a very reliable engine with no real issues, even the sludge issue that was in the previous 1MZ was not present in the 3MZ

any mechanic that runs away from a 16 year old 3MZ toyota V6 engine does not deserve that mechanic title or job description

be guided

Themandalorian:

I believe you are joking in terms of safety but please enlighten me, What features does the 2000 model C class has that the 2015 Corolla lacks?

there are some silly and ignorant usernames that post on this thread you should learn to ignore their posts, the person you quoted is near the top of the list

just ignore his regular nonsense, he has frequent episodes of manic delusions of grandeur

one other person is the neighbourhood clown with his numerous monikers, dont even read his posts, just completely ignore them, you would not miss anything important

the list of resident jesters grows daily

sultaan:
This is probably another Toyota related accident
https://www.nairaland.com/5640178/tragedy-ogbomoso-ilorin-expressway-truck-crushes

Those who have never experienced an accident in one or list a relative will not recognize the loss our people are going through

i cannot decide if you're actually this silly or you're just playing at it

"another Toyota related accident", because only Toyota vehicles are involved in accidents?

this is a new year, be more sensible, if you have nothing useful to post, dont post nonsense

greggng:



I have been selling cars for years and no amount of trick one will use that I cannot comprehend...I have been teaching security tips and u cannot expect mebto fall into such trap...I only deal with people within my domain... I don't expect people to pay for something they 've not seen physically , inspected with good mechanic and due deligence carried out on the car to ascertain is not stolen...if the car is close to me , I will inspect it and anywhere I find out something wrong..I simply walk away. Juju no dey catch me ...only gullible people fall for cheap scam... staying in lagos and buying a car in warri .......infact I don't even collect money from someone I don't know let alone someone I 've not seen before...

This unfortunate incident would have been avoided if only they had driven on the right lane.

surprised to read this from you, did a double take and had to cross check that it was actually you that posted that

it is well

HeavenlyBang:


Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about.

$67k.
Add taxes and other charges and that jumps to $75k easily.

Trucking + shipping to Nigeria = ~1.5m
Custom duty - 15m or so.

Car - 27m
Shipping - 1.5m
Duty - 15m

Total = 43.5m.

i stopped responding to that guy, he is as ignorant as he is obstinate, you're just wasting your time explaining anything to him

iComplain:
It is easy tho

Just with the image of the car, you can do a reverse Google search, and it will take u directly to the website where the car was sold

story story

you obviously dont even know how reverse image searches work on google

why dont you also reverse google search if it were that easy

you think you're the first to come up with that theory? think again, many have tried, myself included but it was proved wrong

rubbish post, overplayed concept

LegoxMetahuman:

See the fhucktard displaying ignorance and stupidity so brazenly with maximum confidence?




please show us 2 doors convertible ls 350


You think you can just come here and lie ad trying to form smart.

I see you still have not learned your lesson


go back to my first post and read it again

in your haste to quote and post nonsense you failed to read or comprehend the part I said that


THE OWNER SWAPPED THE CHINESE MANUFACTURED FRONT BUMPER POPULAR IN DUBAI FOR HIS 2010 MODEL

if you still dont understand, you are even more unfortunate than I thought

[s]

LegoxMetahuman:
look at this brain free retar.ded smuck quoting me without saying anything.


You are lucky I'm avoiding anothe ban.

Would have opened a book for you and cursed generation of scumbags.


Lemme leave you to self-service away while you display stupidity to the world.

Dumb numpty

[/s]

that's right, slither and squirm away like the filthy earthworm you are

better not catch you posting fake information to make yourself seem clever over here again

the next time you will not be so lucky

LegoxMetahuman:
where is the schooling?

oh, so you're foolish AND Blind?

bros, stay far away from cartalk, stick to your romance and politics

car discussions are not for emptyheaded loudmouths like you

LegoxMetahuman:
[s][/s]why not lecture me oh ye mr smart one.

what is the name of the car?

which year is it?


it's funny how stupid retar.ded people jump into quote they know nothing about trying to form smart..

so quick to quote, empty vessels making the most useless sound

go back and read what I posted slowly

you've been schooled, class dismissed fool

this is the first LC 500, the 2018 model

I know you're almost blind, but compare both vehicles.

dumbass

LegoxMetahuman:
the fhuck is this one talking about? do you just want to talk for talk sake?

is it lc500 or not?



and 2017 is latest?
is samsung s7 new version or old version of galaxy phone?

ignorant and a dumbass

perfect combination

I dont usually suffer fools, but to enlighten other thread visitors,

this car is a 2010 Lexus IS 250 or 350 convertible,




the owner replaced the 2010 front bumper with the chinese manufactured front bumper popular in Dubai



not an LC 500, not even close, the distance between LC 500 and IS 350 is like the distance between a Toyota Yaris and a Toyota Landcruiser

LegoxMetahuman:

10million tops if you have bad dealer..

what are you even talking about?
