It's not really a common car in our climes, you will stand out, it would turn heads but for parts, and technical know how, it may not be available much.

If you like it buy it and do legwork on parts and find a good American automobile knowledge mechanic in your vicinity

I later got the camry 2013 bro though the Lexus is way more advanced and got better latest technologies according to almost 7 car gurus i asked before i traveled to lag to make the purchase cos obviously Lexus is the luxurious version of Toyota.
Honestly I don't regret getting the camry se, reliability camry always come first.
Never had any issue with the ride, just regular oil change and one or two keke scratch which i made sure they did transfer before leaving them.
This is my first ride I'm jnust ot ready for the complications that comes with luxurious rides honestly. Yeah i can afford the maintenance and all of that but seeing my neighbor with his 2009 es350 and regular mechanical issues he's always fixing also played a major role in getting a camry.
Though i have never used a Lexus and he might have gotten a faulty car unknowingly.

I just can't get over my camry. Being my first car the way i maintained it and did some little add ups on the outer body you'd actually turn back to take a look if I drive pass even if you don't fancy camry.
Got the red color.

Bro I really don't know much about cars but i know c300 beats all the listed cars hands down just make sure you're getting a good ride and you sure can afford the maintenance and all that comes with luxurious rides.
That 2014 Honda is another fine dope ride though. Almost got the white 2013 when i saw it Damn but mehn i just don't like stress in live. Reliability always comes first for me.
Contact Nurey he's a nairalander, and one other gee here also can't remember his moniker. They really got high knowledge about luxurious rides and cars in general.
I regret not getting a car early cheesy

Your best bet is the 2014 Honda Accord I4, as a first timer, the C300 should be last on your list. Good luck.

I have been checking out these:

Innoson Charis (14m) and two brands of GAC
GAC GA3S (7m) and GAC GA4 (?m).

They are new. I like new.

I have been unable to get a single review of these cars online ; all the blogs featuring their pricing copied one another and no review of performance.

I am also particularly concerned about the ridiculous price of the GAC3s. I think it must lack features given the price.

I need your insights.

Buy a GS3 GAC
It's a tad bit more expensive than the GA3
GAC has service centers in the country so you shouldn't have a problem
I've not used Innoson so I can't speak for the brand

I was a salesman for GEELY and BRILLIANCE automobile for six years. They were new brands in Nigeria at that time.
You will have problems with parts when they start failing and ageing. I always advice people to buy popular brands. I left the company in 2012, up till this moment, people still call me for parts. Many people have parked their cars because they are unserviceable.
If you want to stand out, you could end up with a ' stand-out-problem'.
Being new doesn't mean problems free.

greet you specially, please I need reviews for this 2 cars , Naija reviews o.

2008 bmw X5 3.0 and 2008 Audi Q7 3.6.

I love both cars but I want to pick the one that is more reliable here in Nigeria.

Things I am considering are;
Availability of parts,
Availability of mechanic,
Reliability.

Second hand value and fuel economy no matter.

Please help a brother make an informed decision.
