- 2007 to 2013 Lexus ES
8 years ago in Nigeria, the Lexus brand was not something Nigerians particularly wanted but today Lexus is gold. The Lexus ES model 2007 – 2013 is an entry-level mid-size sedan Nigerians can die for. When you read the review of a Lexus ES350 in Nigeria you will find out that it is the perfect balance between a luxury car and a regular car for Nigerians.
The ES350 is typically a luxury brand that uses Toyota parts which makes it a top choice for Nigerians looking for a car to buy.
- Lexus IS
The Lexus IS is a compact entry-level sedan that also sells very fast in Nigeria simply because it is the ultimate sporty-looking car that has the looks and accent to be proud of.
The Lexus IS comes in two engines, the 2.5-litre V6 and the 3.5-litre V6 engine, and Nigerians love them both. The biggest problem with the Lexus IS would be that it’s close to the ground but people still don’t mind and oh yes, the rear seat is very tight which makes the car unsuitable for drivers with standard families.
- 2000 to 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon
The G-Wagon is the one used car for sale in Nigeria that is very expensive but very common and this tells us one thing. Everybody wants this car.
The G-Wagon AMG G63 sells the fastest in Nigeria because of its powerful bi-turbo V8 engine and the roaring exhaust that makes it stand out. That boxy shape will forever remain one of the best automotive designs in the world.
The G-Wagon is also an SUV that can be easily upgraded even from a 2000 model to a 2020 model because of the shape that never changed. This also makes a lot of Nigerians opt for the G-Wagon. They know they can make it look like any year model they want.
- 2nd and 3rd Generation Toyota Rav4
The Toyota 2nd and 3rd generation RAV4 is a compact Toyota SUV that Nigerians love to buy because it is sleek. The car places you on the level of a well-earning Nigerian civilian and a lot of people love this impression.
A lot of car dealers talk about how the RAV4 is even scarce in Nigeria because it doesn’t stay long on sale. However, you should be careful when buying a Nigerian-used RAV4 because there are a lot of badly maintained ones out there.
