2007/08 Lexus GS 350 And 2008 Mercedes-benz C300 by Adeoyem: 12:26am On Apr 10, 2020 |
Hello good people. Please I want the experts in the house to help me compare 2007/08 GS 350 and 2008 Mercedes c300. Parameters: - reliability - fuel economy - Affordability of spare parts - Touch of luxury - Maintenance - purchasing price Someone said a GS 350 engine cost 1.3million to replace. Is this true? Thanks |

Adeoyem: Reliability: Depends. Probably the GS. Fuel economy: Don't expect great fuel economy on any. Parts cost: cc - Kingreign Luxury: GS, by far. GS will cost a bit more to purchase. Engine price is in that ballpark, I believe. There's a designated thread for enquiries like this. 2 Likes |

Ayomarcel: No, I'm not. I'm a big fan of facts, though. You can never ever compare the fit and finish on a 2008 GS to a 2008 C300. It's insulting to the Lexus, really. 2 Likes |

Ayomarcel: Quality of materials is the primary thing in defining luxury, my man. That's why a Toyota Century may not have as many tech gizmos as even an E Class, but is considered to be way more luxurious. Luxury =/= bling bling lights and many plenty buttons. Una dey really disrespect Lexus for this Cartalk. ![]() 2 Likes |

Nothing best describes luxury than how a car makes you feel. Years ago, while car shopping, I sat in a C230 Kompressor, then sat in an ES330. I bought the ES330 right after. Sound isolation, quality of materials, how well an interior is put together. Then you factor in quality of life factors like massage features, air conditioning, stereo. That is luxury. Not the fact that a car has a three pointed star. I bet if asked most people on this forum would say a C300 is more luxurious than a Hyundai Equus. 11 Likes 1 Share |

My friend C320 falling apart after 3 years. MB Texas material failed. Glove compartment gumming due to weather conditions...heat. Gear lever leather wrap gone Sunroof leaking Instruments cluster indicator screen dead. Too many interior failings ...BUT when you look at the exterior, you'll fall in love with Mercedes. I think Mercedes concentrate more on building great quality body frames and engine than interior parts. Lexus interior is superb, fit and finish. Even though they've great designs, body finish cannot be compared to the Mercedes. Go for the Lexus for everyday run around, go for the Mercedes for signature purpose. 3 Likes |

I call my garage a Lexus gang. I own Rx 330, Es 350 and a 08 C300. I don fling out the Merc. Lexus beat am far for luxury. The Merc Anyone arguing that C300 has better luxury than Es or GS Lexus should go and drive all the cars and come back to argue objectively. 8 Likes |
