It's a dope ride.

Just budget between 8 to 10 milla, depending on your bargaining power though.

And run VIN check on it, so that you don't buy a LEMON.

You wey put your radar on top C250 dey capable to maintain am easily, i believe.

That luxury sedan need you to always pay attention to every little details o.


I have nothing against the Toyota Camry 2012 though, as matter of fact, i like the ride.

I'm just being honest here.

ACURA MDX for elegance.

TOYOTA RAV4 for easy and low cost maintenance.

That Acura is your best bet,in driving into Luxury and Elegance. But,it wont tolerate any abuse,and you will for sure spend more in maintaining it.

But if you are CAPABLE like Mr Banky W,then go for it.

i would pick the TSX. Very strong build. Not too common. Basically an accord. Mechanical parts are everywhere and affordable. Body parts are expensive but then you wont be replacing body parts every month unless you bash regularly. Perfomance of an acura is top notch. Go for the tsx. 2nd choice should be 325i. Would have said 330i zhp, but e scaaarce and needs more attention. But you must be an enthusiast to enjoy bmw. Let me know if you need a pre-order
I will love to pre-order but from Europe

I'd like your opinions on Lexus RX350 2013 vs Mercedes Benz GLK 350 2014 vs Mercedes Benz ML350 2012
Please focus your inputs towards their engines
-As a daily driver within my city and once in interstate.
-Cost of parts as well as maintenance.
-Comfort and Luxury they can offer.
-Suspensions, tyre wear and Electricals.
-And also reliability and performance of their transmission systems.

I'd go with the ML.

RX has cheaper parts.
ML has best luxury and everything else. Leave the GLK for small boys.

From your metrics, the ML350 ticks most boxes.
However, if you had said the 2015 RX350, I’d have recommended the Lexus.
In this case, the ML wins.

I didn’t say “it tops”… or not.
It all depends on individual opinions and final choices.

However, the 2015 RX350 is a very reliable car. It’s the final model year for that chassis so I believe all mods would have been included.
The NHTSA gives it a safety rating of 9.3/10.

Aside speed, I still don’t see where the 2012 ML350 stands a chance with the 2015 RX350. Besides, one shouldn’t consider an SUV and speed in the same thought. But if you want to eat your cake and have it, then look the way of the F-Sport.

I chose not to mention the GLK in previous post. It’s just a C-Class wagon, appealing to younger folks who were caught in between the decision to get a sedan or an SUV undecided

Hi guys, please I need opinions on Volkswagen, Audi and Subaru cars. They seem to have mad designs and interiors, you know, that premium look.

Are they easy to maintain, and the parts, available? Thank you.

Please guys I'm thinking of RDX OR MDX ACURA 2010 or lesser
I'm on a budget 3M

What's your take on these choices.

WhatsApp
08120677809


I just hope this will help because it would have helped if i saw something like this when i was searching. I dont know about the RDX, but i know about the MDX and Its a good choice. You should know thou, the 2010 - 2013 models have oil burning issues so i'll avoid them, they are basically same thing with the 2007 -2009 model years afterall, unless you are crazy about the paddle shifter.

For clean title, The least you can get for a good one presently and its if you are really lucky 3.8M, it will be high mileage(Over 200k miles) or just the basic package(no navigation, reverse cam, powertailgate, etc) often times it'll be both.

From 4.1M, again if you are lucky you might get a good one with low mileage might ooo. New buyers that want to enjoy the car stress-free should just hold at least 4.5M minimum. In other words a good one presently costs between 3.8M - 5.5M.

For a Japanese, I can tell you that the interior build including leather, steering, gear knob, sound system and infotainment of the 2008 Infiniti G35X beats those you’ll find in a Lexus ES350 of same year as well as the Acura TL and Mercedes C350 of same year.
You definitely didn’t hear well.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is simply not true.

He will turn heads and get compliments from people. If he's a ladies man, the car will also be a magnet. That's where it ends.
