themodernman: You sha wan force me to talk. Well the Accord evil spirit dash is a beauty to behold out of the 3 but you are biased the dash of the benz is 2003 model year or even less compared to a 2006-07 accord and 08-12 accord. |

Hello. I'd actually go for the second. That Benz is a timeless classic. Still turns heads till date. If u put pristine versions of all three ( or should I say four lol) next to each other, u will surely pick the Mercedes. It reeks of class and has unbreakable build quality. I can also assure u that the drive and handling can't be matched by any of the others. Most importantly after a couple years of usage, u will notice that the Mercedes Benz has aged better than the others. Good luck in making your choice. Cheers. |

Re: This, This Or This by nurey(m): 2:20pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
emekan: My brother u didn't take into considerations some fact, yes that benz will certainly be the most luxurious and the tokunbo will be the cheapest in the market it won't pass 1.5m, the most exensive could be the 4th one posted by cityng cause it isn't just a classic it certainly would be a relic. The 06-07 dash could be a problem once it fails (once the screen no touch, ur Ac and some important stuffs won't work) the evil spirit has a very good and rugged build quality the only down size is the miniature screen. As for the 4 place side by side after 3-4 years of use in naija the benz interior will still be in perfect shape but same can't be said for the exterior as some rust will start showing and if its completely neglected like my neighbors own, then the springs and shocks will give way, it will drive but it won't be impressive. 1 Like |

CityNG: Not classic, vintage you should say |
Re: This, This Or This by Nobody: 2:31pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
Homguy: Not sure why anyone will choose other than the Benzo. |
Re: This, This Or This by Nobody: 2:33pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
themodernman: You can say vintage. I say classic because that's the correct word. Vintage is usually reserved for wines. At least over here. "A classic car is an older automobile; the exact definition varies around the world. The Classic Car Club of America maintains that a car must be between 30 and 49 years old to be a classic, while cars between 50 and 99 fall into a pre-antique class, and cars 100 years and older fall into the Antique Class." |

Re: This, This Or This by Homguy(m): 3:17pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
CityNG:Abatically and co would definitely provide 1001 reasons why those Hondas, better, a Toyota should be choosen over the merc. Btw, when are you getting another classic for restoration, if only you don't dispose of it before its completion like poor old Tessy. |

nurey: 1.5million? Dats an 04 model benz Eclass bro..be ready to cough out 2.2m at least or take a hike |
Re: This, This Or This by Nobody: 3:45pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
Homguy: I'm a business man autoist So imagine if you live in Lagos and a car pops up on the radar in Ado Ekiti. Most Lagosians can't/won't go to Ado Ekiti to really look at the car but they have money. You buy the car and bring it to Lagos. Then the moneybags can now come and see the car and pour over it and you just sit back and let the feeding frenzy begin. I rarely get to finish my restores before I am offer serious money for them. I didn't get to finish the previous one before Tessie too.

themodernman: I won't cough out, sneeze out, blow out 2.2m for that old benz no pun intended, I would rather get my self a 2010 or upwards toyota or honda product. If I intend to go german then a passat or cc if possible would fill the void. |

themodernman: when buying things in nigeria, people should seriously take into consideration "will i make use of this" instead of "how much i will sell it after using it". i have never once in my life bought something and be considering the resale value. there are some luxurious gadgets that come as premium and i find really useless in nigeria 1. my family friend has a primera 2003 and it comes with reverse cam, i dont think you should use that cam at all except you want to commit suicide or ram into something. 2. leather seat will get torn on the long run if you take care of fibre it will last and last and last. though i appreciate leather for aesthetics 3. Navigation screen that the map wont work in naija only if it can show me car data then i will say that is good 4. xenon and HID lamp this are good for dazzling on coming drivers if i am the one driving the car good but if nah otondo, he is likely to blind me. japanese cars weren't as sturdy as german cars then but not now. lexus LS will stand side by side with an S-class to a degree anyday anytime, so why do the germans out class the japs the answer is MORE (more leather, more formica, more airbags, more camera, more interior space etc) german fanboiz give your own counter arguement. |

nurey: I said it,,, the Toyota boys are here!!! I won't argue too much bro...in as much as tecno av improved a whole lot they still know dr master!!! Apple When Toyota were busy improving themselves do you think the Mercedes were taking a nap? So its wrong for you to say the Japs av come side by side...forget about interior decor...d engines and body work of Germans are coming on stronger bro..it will take only a miracle & a curse on Germans for d Japs 2 catch up. 1 Like |

nurey: Compare phones with automobiles & ds is what you'll get: 1. Tecno- Kia (just beauty & flashy-flashy) 2. Samsung- Honda (flashy but a bit more durable) 3. LG, HTC- Toyota, Peugot (not too flashy but durable & long lasting) 4. Iphone- Mercedes-Benz, Porsche etc (flashy, durable, exotic & last forever). |
Re: This, This Or This by nurey(m): 5:39pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
themodernman: You know as exotic as the IPHONE is the SAMSUNG S-series has more features than it. Yes the German machines are undisputed but we should be careful not to over hype them besides I am not a japfanboy, though I drive a toyota, me nah VWfanboy. Where the VW walks, others crawl. |
