thanks boss man... but I really have this question I wanting clarification on... why it's dat the ZDX is kinda expensive dat the MDX in Nigeria.. even the adverts on the ZDX here on Nairaland, and other car selling website like cheki and jiji they have been even priced as high as 10m even 12m naira... lowest range I have since is between 4.5 to 5mil why is dat sir...

meanwhile the MDX like from the 2007 to 2014/15 models (which I actually prefer for their ZDX ish like design to the older models) most goes for between 4 to 5/6 million for its highest price (though I stand to be corrected)...

is there like a special reason or something...

thanks man

1. The ZDX is fancy. It was Acura's flagship model at the time, so it has better standard equipment than the MDX.
2. The ZDX was released in 2010, I believe, while that generation of MDX was in 07/08. It's a newer car.
3. The ZDX was canceled a long time ago and never sold in large numbers. Limited supply.

My guess, if a car is scarce on the raod it is likely high maintainace cost issues/ reliability / parts availability and expert technicians are the reasons.

Do more research on the Mitsubishi in your location before going for it, however, the eod is a safe bet.

Very valid. Probably the best option, actually. Not sure he'll be able to get a 350 with that budget, though.

Personal, i will go for the Es350, but due to the nature of our roads i will advise you go for rx330 or 350. It is a toyota with different badge.

For your budget and specs, Heavenlybang gave you a suitable answer but it seems your mind is already made on Toyota and you're just seeking for opinions to support your choice. That's a bias mind if you ask me.

However, since you really do not know that Lexus is a luxury arm of Toyota, then I'd suggest you pick a 2007 Toyota Avalon.

Glad this thread is still very active.

I would like to have a fair non-online based comparison for the two large sedans below:

2014 KIA Cadenza (V6)
2014 Chevrolet Impala. (V6)

Both are on ground in Lagos and priced between NGN4 to 5m
