So I have been looking forward to getting my first car, and I just found someone who wants to relocate and is willing to selling her Lexus RX 350 2008 model.

We both negotiated and the price we settled for was N4.5m, I need to make a decision on if I want to get the car or not, I would have preferred to go for something more classy but since it is my first car it's not bad to start small. I intend to go with a mechanic to inspect the car if I eventually decide to purchase it.

Please gurus in the house, is this a good car for a first time buyer, I really don't know much about cars.

Also what are the car documents to look out for to avoid Nigeria Police wahala.

1.The vehicle is over priced at that amount
2. It's a V6 engine... consumes more fuel compared to a 4 cylinder engine
3. For a first time vehicle owner, I think you should start with a sedan...
4.Most female vehicle owners knows next to nothing about automobiles they are always at the mercy of ungodly mechanics.

The car Is expensive for that price. With the fuel situation of the country, bro its not adviceable.

If u can afford 4.5m, then I don't expect u to struggle with the new fuel cost. It's a nice car, u are good to go.

After you and her don settle 4.5m for the car, na im you come dey seek advice?.. Why you no seek advice before negotiation? ... Now wey the lady don add your 4.5m into her Japa funds, na im you wan dey tell her say you no buy again?

No be so dem dey do something bros...Don't raise people's expectations and then begin yarn koto... I am speaking from experience.. E no funny at all


Second time I travelled abroad, nigga wey agree to buy one small land wey I get begin tell me how e go only for raise me 4m out of the 6.2m wey we agree, 2 days to my departure... Na so I gats collect the 4m laidat.. Nigga few months later resold that same property to my professional colleague for 7.8m..I got to know when the said colleague whatsapped me to confirm stuff, when he visited the Ministry of Lands to research on the land, and saw my name and details as a previous title holder of the land..

Better go give that lady her 4.5m make she exit this bulaba country while she can... If that woman miss her Japa because of you, she fit kpai you o... She dey her own, you come negotiate price for her moto, only for you to now begin find wetin no loss...

You ask questions about a vehicle roadworthiness before negotiations not after... You sure won't like it if someone were to do same to you, especially in the dying minute situation in which that lady probably is...

Oga you are funny ooh.
Any transaction where the parties involved didn't get expected value or satisfaction is nothing but parasitism or fleecing.
An offer can be rejected and terminated at any moment the parties involved feel perceive threats to their interests in the terms of offer.

Will you go ahead with the wedding if find out your virgin bride is pregnant with another man's child?

Your analogy isn't applicable in this instance.. First off, no one is a saying the vehicle is a virgin, neither is anyone saying the vehicle went and cheated and got pregnant...it's even abhorrent to compare a human being with a non-living commodity such as a vehicle..

Op saw the vehicle, liked it enough to agree on price with seller, but is now seeking to do what he should have done before settling price, thus putting seller in a difficult situation.


There is a thing called pre-purchase due diligence.. You do that before deciding on whether to buy or not, and how much to pay if buying...

Op has already agreed price with seller.. Seller might have taken her item as sold and shut out other intending buyers based on price agreed with op.. Seller has also possibly calculated the 4.5m into her Japa funds..More especially that the Japa issue makes the situation a very time-sensitive one for the seller...

If the reverse was the case and op had agreed price with seller, and seller sold car to another person for higher price, shey the op will be happy?.. After bragging to his friends say e don buy Lexus, or having a buyer on ground who is willing to buy the vehicle from him for a higher price only for him to call seller and seller says he/she has sold vehicle...

It's wisdom in little things like this that possibly make a difference as to whether one will likely live long or be wasted like a stray dog.

Have you heard the phrase "payment validates purchase" before?
Don't ever count your chicks before they hatch.

If that's the case, let me refer you back to your earlier abhorrent analogy about the man and his fornicating fiancee.

If your "payment validates purchase" is the universal law, why should the man get angry and call off a wedding just because his fiancee got pregnant for another man before the wedding.. Since she isn't his wife yet, isn't she at liberty to collect even common pregnancy from whoever she fancies?

He lied. He knew you were desperate for money and stylishly resolved to pay less than what you two agreed on. I hate that kind of deception. Na so 2.6 milla don go

Did you see where I made mention of "terms"?
One of the terms for wedding to happen is that she remains untouched by any man....once she is touched or even perceived to have been touched; wedding can no longer take place.

If you tell me "this is the best deal you'll get" and I made up my mind to conclude the purchase with the believe that am getting the best deal.
If I later discover that I am not getting the best deal; the terms of the transaction have been violated and no longer valid, I am at liberty to renegotiate, terminate or take my expectations somewhere else.

Wait ooh 😲
So you don't have any expectation when you want to wed someone?

For starters one of your expectations(terms)
Will include that your bride is female.
that she's not married
that she'll have all the features of a human female....

These are the terms, if you discover at any point that one of them is missing there's a high chance you'll not go ahead with the wedding.
Same goes for every business transaction.

From my experience Rx350 is not a bad car...but the fuel consumption is abit high...U know the pocket cant be full always,the fuel consumption will vex u...A cheaper option will be Venza 08 LE with a 4plug engine....
Though Lexus is more of luxury ...the cost of thier parts are relatable... Also..Venza seems to be more durable
Both car parts are not scarce...they are both electrically stable cars....Lexus....venza they are both 9ic its jux down to chioce
