I did why you saying the LR gives you the same value with the G Class?

IkpuMmadu:


He is talking resale... Dude are you buying a car to enjoy or resale.... Most benz owners buy them to enjoy confirm and handling not reselling .. that is japanese thing

You must understand the philosophy behind owning a benz... I have driven two benzes and that is the philosophy... Next you talk about fuel.... Trust me benz owners don't care about that either

Yes I said that....and I stand to be corrected any day, any time, twice on Saturday

Stop watching all those cheap Indian YouTube channels, I dey tell you.... they'll mislead you and u go yarn shit for public, before you realize, it'll be too late cos you're ridiculed already

I'd prefer you go to reputable websites like;
Edmunds.com(LR=7.9/10 vs MB=7.0/10)
Cargurus.com (LR=7.5/10 vs MB=7.2/10)
Carmagazine.co.uk (Chose LR)
Zigwheels.com(LR= 4.6/5 vs MB=4.4/5)
Cars.com (Didn't rate)
Asburyauto.com (chose LR)
Motor1.com (draw)
Carandbike.com (chose LR)
Carbuzz.com (draw)
Just to mention few

If atall u wanna use YouTube for comparison, use
Supercar blondie
Shmee150
Motorcar trend
Carwow...those are the ones I dey use, especially supercar blondie

Believe me...after series of reviews from different sites/users, even apart from the ones above, more than 80% of them chose LR defender as a better off-road/overall car (do the research and see for urself)


Those websites are the top 9 best car review sites.... check Google to prove me wrong

So why the hype for the G class when you could get such (sorry, I mean 'more than') service it offers for 3X lesser the price it's being sold

LR defender is the best value for money bro

U can also refer me to someone reputable sites that claim G class is better than LR defender... I'll be glad to see at least 5 sites that claim so

Stop following the masses and do ur personal research before yarning ...carry all the car gurus here on nairaland to tackle me, I'm ready to prove them wrong the LR defender is the best value for money than the so called Benz u dey shout up and down

Abeg if u no know anything about cars, abeg no mention me ooo...cos I go completely annihilate you ooo....I be car person, I dey tell u

In about 10 years, the value of that 2020 S560 will be about $10k while that rx350 will be about 25k. That 2005 S class you are talking down on once sold for between 80 to 100k dollars.

Sysdatek:

Just mechanic scare me if they can repair it

Drop your whatsapp number asap via E350

Lexus is not only luxury its affordable luxury

Benz is costly to maintain but it delivers power Lexus can only dream of....

Benz will always be class and classic

I will choose Benz for occasional show off but Lexus for daily movement. You can have the two

Please I want to sell my E350 if you re in Abuja

Economy

From the 2003 model of the c class, it’s all about economy...

I use a c300 and it’s economy is out of this world..
Once you switch to sport, well you automatically trade your fuel for power, watch it guzzle your fuel like beer..

SavageResponse:


Benz is not for small kids, anyone who does not have a steady inflow of serious money for maintenance has no business buying a Benz!

SecretPerv:

A simple Google search for the prices of these car would have saved you this public embarrassment.. Una go just dey quote price as if the rest of us don't have access to the Internet.

lebete3000:


Please what do you think about the 2005 model c240? Is it a great buy?

ElPhoche:

Seriously? Or you just want to type? Lemme show you a picture from carvana for the 2012 models of the Lexus and the 2011 of the benz. S550 is a sedan while the rx350 is an SUV. No deh there just the yarn, talk with facts.

NihiIist:
Moreover most of these foreign manufacturers know alot of Nigerians love luxury but can't afford it. They know Nigerians love premium luxury but they don't have the money so what they do is give you something a little close to luxury. That's the case with Benz, it's an economy class luxury.

inze:
Wahala be like bicycle

NewDelhi:
@ acri honestly instill don't know what's luxury about Benz. Maybe you don't know the meaning of luxury. That's how one was comparing Benz to Audi lol as if Audi na Benz mate.

iLearner:
Lmao
What lexus would you choose over any of these luxuries?

EkelediliBuhari:


It’s ok
Just go for the compressor
Cheaper to maintain, although the 4matic gives a better ride.

Used to drive the v6, great performance for its level...

Funflipper:


You do the math:

2011 S class MSRP: $158,000
Price after 10 years $22,590

2012 Lexus rx350 MSRP: $39,000
Price after 10 years $18,590

People don't buy them because they are money pits and that is why they hold no second hand value. Buy one and the beautiful chic will spend more time with the mechanic than you cruising her.

Sometimes ago, a nairalander compared the sudden madness for Benz cars to the madness Nigerians had for blackberry between 2007 and 2013. He was bashed , insulted and bruised. He was right afterall, it was the Yahoo boys and street musicians that made Benz so popular. It was so bad a particular nairalander was even comparing a Benz model to the rolls Royce wriath.

There was a time Range Rover was the reigning thing, Benz took over and Toyota venza came into the limelight briefly. Now it's Lexus. Which will be next?

ElPhoche:

Baba, check the mileages You no go deh use car weh dem use deh drive kabu-kabu deh compare nah.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make about depreciation in cost over years. I saw this post on Facebook about it. It is not unique to Benz. It is usually hinged on demand among other things. Just like how PS5 goes on $1000 on Ebay, even though it is not exactly the same.

IamSoProlific:


Care to enlighten me bro.....I'm looking at getting C300 2008 upgraded to 2010....what's your General take on it regarding maintenance, repairs, durability, parts availability and fuel economy?

lebete3000:


I don't think there's a c240 kompressor. It usually comes in Avant garde, classic or elegance most times. I'm planning the buy the German made from mobile.de, but their prices they scare the shit outta me...

44Bulldog:


I know and I do admire the Benz pickup truck (x-class I think)... especially the tuned one

Bro, I guess you and ur babe never see ford F-150 raptor before... she'll become wet instantly

But in terms of pickup bro, nothing comes closer to Ford raptor any day, anytime

Ford raptor (tuned) any day, anytime, twice on Saturday bro

EkelediliBuhari:


It’s a nice car. Used it for 6months now.

It’s gear selection is cranky but that’s nothing to worry about. Acceleration and top speed is great. Watch out for the brakes, they get work out too fast if you are a furious driver like myself. Stick to specified oil (mobil1) and other fluids.

IamSoProlific:


Thanks for the input....how affordable is the maintenance, repairs, parts....and what easily spoils in and how often??

I claim it this morning

Mercedes will allow them grow a bit more, then purchase Tesla in future, Elon Musk will cash out, & probably pay more attention to his space x project of trying to go and live on the moon.
