Hahhahaha, thank you madam. It's on what mileage already. How about the AC too? Any negative remark?
I'll check mileage when I get a chance but only one owner before us. Bought with about 15,000 miles on it. No problems with AC. Just what I said earlier.

Haaaaa... You just wanted to fvck with our innocent minds, right?

What would you pick if you were given the choice?
Which ever one you want, tbh. That's the entire point of a double entendre.

Thanks for the insight bosses.

Damitimo:
Experts please help me compare Benz C300 and Lexus Es 350?

I've gotten offer for both at 3.5M but having a hard time deciding which to go for.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Damitimo: 7:58pm On Jan 27, 2019
I think I am leaning towards the ES350, but I kind of find the dashboard and the front bumper boring. kiss

I once saw one autoshop do an upgrade on IG and posted it.

Lemme check.

Not everybody cares about throwing a car into a hard corner at 120km/h. It also takes only very skilled or very stupid suicidical drivers to do that.
kingreign:
Bro, I've taken quite a number of ES on long trips, and I love throwing cars into hard corners at high speeds when I'm in the mood. The times I've thrown ES into corners, they responded well. Especially between Ejule and Ortukpo Branch axis of the journeys.


Caveat: I am not encouraging anyone to try it.
Errmm I wanted to ask.. Never mind grin grin

Please house, I need advice on Honda Pilot. Is it reliable? Does it give much problems? It does seem to be cheap compared to Toyota of the same year. Anything to be worried about? Thanks .
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Bigsteveg(m): 11:37pm On Jan 27, 2019
MotorGuru:
If you are considering the inline 4, the 2010 Camry is your best bet. More powerful and much more reliable engine( 2.5L engine as against the 2.4) 6speed automatic compared to the 5 speed of the i4 of the 2009 and below. Better sound insulation.

For the V6 I would recommend 2009-up. To avoid the notable 3-4 shift flares of the 2007 models and also stick acceleration pedals.
Thank you, God bless. I appreciate

after the rain that beat me today I've decided to get a car. I'm tired of the bus life.

budget: 2mill maximum

I earn 6 figure income monthly

I need a car that scores points in the following categories

luxury
reliability
maintenance
performance

in that order

and this would be my first car so I really don't need something that would bother me so much

you advice would be appreciated.

Six figures don't tell us anything,tbh. That's a range that goes from 100k to 999k.

Anyway, buy a Corolla or Civic. Going by what you've shared, you don't need a luxury car.

If you're feeling adventurous, a Camry or Accord.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by mrbock: 11:52am On Jan 28, 2019
I earn 400k


I've always fancied the luxus is250-300 .

my brothers corolla was stolen in December, I'm not too keen in buying a thief magnet

would 2mill get me the is 250-300 ?

If you do everything yourself--import from Copart--you can probably get a 2006 IS250 for about 2m. You should be able to maintain it with your income.

Cheers.

From my experience a very good car at unbelievable price. More value for ur bucks than a Highlander of same generation and way cheaper. I used mine for 1 and half year, no problems at all except when a mouse ate the wires of my knock sensor which I replaced for around 6k with labor. It's better to get the EXL with RES model for added luxury. 4wd with 3rd row seat. U can't go wrong with this if u have a big family and very ideal for long distance journey. Fuel economy is not very good in city driving but does well for long distance.

You won't see any clean Lexus ES350 or IS250 for 2m range. Up your cash to 2.7m
