Hello NL

So I’ve been contemplating getting the 2007/08 ES350 ride for a long time, I am a graduate on a 300k-500k salary with no pressing responsibilities but house rent. I recently came across a clean US Toks for 3.5/3.7m. I plan on using it to commute to and fro work comfortably, I’m not sure of it’s maintenance cost and it’s general fuel consumption so I’d like to know if this might be above my budget. Thanks

What’s the hype about the Lexus GX460. Why is it suddenly so popular in Lagos?

Hello boss, sorry I know I am not the original person that brought up the question you answered. I have heard a lot about this xterra, heard its ruggedness rival that of similar model toyota vehicle. Please how true is this?

?

It's durable and rugged. Is a thoroughbred offroader. Just ensure it's engine and transmission and electrical aren't messed up. Parts and technicians are abound.

Get the 2009 Camry XLE v6.
Actually, there isn’t really much difference between the 2007 to 2009 Camry.

In simple terms, “that’s the best and most durable and you’d get for the 2007 - 2009 Camry”. Meanwhile, the 2010 Camry is a different ball game entirely.

Fuel consumption is higher.

If you want a four(4) cylinder, rather do a 2010/11 model.

Else, a v6 of 2008/09 would suffice.

LX570 you meant to say?

Pricing alone, they’re far apart with the LX flogging the Sienna.

Sienna looks more of a family car, the LX looking more like an official one.

The LX would buy the sienna and still have enough left.

Quick question:
Which is better; 2006 Acura RL, 2007 Lexus GS 350, or 2008 Lexus ES 350?
Considering safety, driving experience, and parts

All these cars are quite different that it's hard to say which is "best".

The ES350 is the easiest option.
I'd go for the GS, though.
