I am contemplating getting one of these as my next car. I need owner reviews from individuals who use these vehicles in Nigeria . My main concern is the availability/pricing of parts and the ability of the vehicle to stand the daily challenges of daily use in lagos traffic. I already have a competent mechanic that can handle all these.
In order of appearance: 1. Mercedes c350 (w204)
2. Hyundai genesis (1st generation) 3. Lexus Gs350

You have a mechanic that handles Lexus, Mercedes, and Hyundai. Hmmm.

I'd personally go with the GS350.

I love the performance of the GS350. my main fear is the cost of the body parts - I guess insurance will be the only thing that will
Make me sleep well at night.

I just saw this comment. Please can you educate me on this insurance thing please? I know you have to be paying a monthly stuff. So what happens months after purchasing and things go wrong on the GS350?

In the unlikely event of an accident, you simply document it by taking pictures/making a video and notifying ur insurer so that your claim can be settled. Most people here opt for one off yearly payments and the rate is determined by the market value of the car. Policies vary from one insurer to the other - it’s usually between 4% to 5% of the vehicle’s value.

Wow! 5% is not bad at all. You mean paying this yearly? Only 5% per year? It’s good na.
