Ayo Makun Car
Here is the list of cars owned by the popular comedian
- Jaguar XJ
It’s a long car, hence the L in its name. Yet the XJL looks lean and muscular. This is a spirited road car riding on a 124.3-inch wheelbase. Such length puts it in the league of full-sized SUVs, inside and out. Overall the car is 206.8 inches long. By comparison, the sizable Lexus LS460 AWD I drove just a few weeks back is 6.8 inches shorter, and it was plenty big.
- Mercedes Benz G-Wagon
AY gifted himself a brand new G-Wagon to mark his birthday in 2015>> Mercedes Benz G63 For Sale
- Lexus LX570
The LX 570 comes with a standard kit such as an adjustable electro-hydraulic suspension system, and a permanent four-wheel-drive system with dedicated low-range gearing. The drive mode is in five different off-road variants: Rock, Rock and Dirt, Mogul, Loose Rock and Mud, and Sand. Lexus LX570 for sale
