You are still not getting the point.

Follow this link, that's how much an original Honda ball joint cost. This is for one single lower ball joint. If you have to buy a pair, multiply by two and add shipping costs, you're looking at 100k already.

So if you use fake parts (and obviously you did) and it fails or you had to replace it frequently, it's not the manufacturers fault. You only have yourself to blame.
Honestly, I don't know where they get the TOYOTA and HONDA part cheap from, they are not cheap, in fact Toyota parts cost more than some range rover parts i n the UK

Fake parts or not, I am not to be blamed. Honda is to be blamed since they are only known to produce cheap and fake parts. We bought what we saw, and thank you for the link but it is all a thing of the past.
I am forever done with anything Honda.
Toyota is Bae.

OEM drive shafts for a 2003-2007 Honda accord(V6) and some 2004-2007 Acuras cost over a thousand dollars minus shipping and logistics

Well that maybe true.
But I haven't had any reason to buy cheap parts since I have been using Toyota. That is my major argument. Toyota offers greater reliability.

Toyota, Honda and Nissan are all the same things they are Japs. Nothing is wrong with using any of them, I'm just going by the notion of the presumption most Nigerians have that Japanese car parts are cheap which is false!

you are wrong, Mercedes are much richer however Toyota has larger production capacity due to mass production. There are more Mercedes in Europe than Toyota.We have cheap and smaller Mercedes as well ie the A-class.
Toyota had a revenue of $272billion 2019 selling over 10million units

check the latest reviews, audi cars are superior to mercedes cars (even in tech and luxury)

In your last paragraph you lied. Toyota has an ultra luxury line that is beyond Lexus/Crown, known as Century.

Also, when you say most presidents use mercedes. How? I believe they use Audis more.

The audi A8 and bmw 7series drive better than an s class.

Lastly, mercedes maybach is a joke compared to Bmw’s rolls royce and volkswagen’s bentley
Royce Royce, Bentley are British even though owned by Volkswagen. Same way Range Rover is still British even though owned by TaTa of India.

They are still built in Britain under British engineering and British engineers. Are you sure you're supposed to be discussing cars? You don't even know the ABC if cars.

Please, the S class is the luxury pacesetter of the every day luxury car segment.

When you come to the super ultra luxury segment, the high end Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti, you have the Mercedes Black series where no Japanese car dare thread. Lolz, there's no luxury higher than the Lexus in Toyota models. Since you're blind to even your own Toyota history.

Lexus is a rebranded model from Toyota, it is the luxury version of Toyota. So no Toyota century or Camry will equal a Lexus in luxury.

And driving a Lexus or Toyota is pure soulless, these cars don't have feedback or character, just plain bland.

And then you talk of BMW or Audi driving better than a Mercedes, you're still a tiro.

You see, the Audi and BMW's take bend and do maneuvers more than mercedes... alright. Ok.

Now mercedes trumps them so badly in driving, luxury and comfort and balance, giving you a pampered ride and still takes curves and maneuvers just a tad lower than BMW and Audi but trumping them significantly in comfort and balance ride.

That's where mercedes scores so high, because it offers good luxurious, quiet ride and still performs way more in maneuvering, unlike the BMW's and Audi's that are overly harsh because of their sharp driving agility.

Japanese cars are nowhere in between, never excelling in any department of performance.

EVERY JAPANESE VEHICLE IS A POOR COPY OF SOMETHING IN EUROPE.

in the West how many people know what mercedes is?

Bozo, I said worlds presidents use mercedes than any other car brand. Your ignorance is groundbreaking and staggering being so bold and same time so ignorant.

You're guilty of a grave sacrilegious sin.

There's no luxury car that drives like an S class.

Audi is strictly a driver's car. It lacks the smooth carpet ride quality mercedes has. Same with Audi.

The prestige of owning a Mercedes in the West can only be compared to the hyper luxury cars like Bugatti, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

No female posses the brain power to analyse cars when 99.9% of you can't even drive properly.

But I'm glad you're deflecting with with Audi and BMW shamelessly shifting focus from your bland world's dumpyard Toyota.


Lastly, I hope you realize no Asian car maker has branched into the hyper luxury car segment?
Dummy, stop talking like an illiterate okay. Next time you'll say presidents of third world countries plus it's home country (Germany) use Mercedes more than any other brand okay. It's a car made for the poor.

And DD you start saying Mercedes has a prestige compared to Lamborghini and the likes? Be educated and stop embarrassing your self. A car that costs less than $30,000 is what you're comparing to rides that cost hundreds of thousands. Your problem is the kind you got when Nigerians believed blackberry was the biggest thing on Earth. As for cars, there was a time Nigerians believed it was range Rover. Then venza started reigning and now it's the turn of Benz. Maybe in a few years time you'll be among those to start shouting Mazda is the greatest on Earth.

japanese cars are best in every class.

That bentley is manufactured by the british doesn’t make it less of a german product.

Toyota has some purely European-made models, DOESN’T STOP DEM FROM BEING JAPANESE CARS.

Audi is far superior to mercedes all-round. And pls don’t mention mercedes in term’s of driving. You can only mention them in terms of luxury, which they now fall behind.
An average lexus ls platinum is even outside the league of the s class in luxury features

German and British have different philosophy in car production and in engineering.

Japanese cars are for poor people financially and mentally in the west. If you drive a Japanese and dare equate it to prestige, then know you're existing in distorted existence only in your own head.


That's what you get when you say they are best in every department.

Go around the wealthy countries of Europe and America, only lower average class of families drive Toyota's and Honda's.

I told you what it is. Imagine a toyota rav4 2020 having more equipments than the 2020 mercedes e class. And that is the reality, sadly!

Worldwide, (even in germany) owners of toyota brands “including the lexus luxury line” are always the “most satisfied” with their cars, AND IT IS NO COINCIDENCE.

Your opinion is your right tho.

the Lexus RS 300 1999 to 2004 was in existence in Japan and named a Toyota, but rebadged Lexus RX 300 in USA in 1999. But it bear a Toyota name in Japan.

Mercedes is a poor man's luxury. That's why you see them everywhere. I've seen a brabus thrice last week. True luxury cars are so rare you hardly see one. Ask yourself how many times you've ever seen an Audi r8 on the silky roads of ikoyi and Lekki? There's a reason why you rarely see laptops like Alienware, predator, Razerblade and the like around. But you can always find an HP envy amd even Mac. Alienwares and the likes are laptops made for prestige, made or the creme de la crème. This is class.

Comparing Mercedes to audi and BMW is blasphemy. Them no be mates at all. BMW and Audi make more luxury and are far crazier than and Benz model you can name .
