saxywale: the closest car to a toyota that i can buy in Nigeria would be a pontiac vibe.

ceaser: ...The RX series share parts with highlander, camry and avalon. Good thing is, they come cheaper than regular Toyotas (RX 300 and RX 330 are cheaper than highlanders and prados of the same year) simply because they're scarce on Nigerian roads and demand for 'em is low which drives their price down...

vicoloni: I have been privileged to use almost every popular models of vehicle and honestly I still don't understand why Toyota is overhyped. Try Ford vehicles and you'll be glad you did.
Rugged. Serious engine work. Don't tell me its too expensive to maintain. Either high or low maintenance the truth is most Nigerians knows nothing about car maintenance.

greggng: All u need is jesus I ve being riding mine for 5 years now twice I ve given robbers my car key but they simply told me they don't need it. Infact 3 big olive oil was used for prayers the very day I bought it and one was emptied on the engine and another kept permanently on the dash board. Finally a blessed cross is in front.to be honest it helps more than car tracker. They will never come close to your car

obo389: Cos d engines are mostly used for speed boats transporting system in dis part of 9ja.

kkokoma: U guys fear 2 much, been driving camry big light for one and half year now, no stress. When I wanted to buy people were saying they are always being stolen, do not let fear stop u driving the car u like. Its like not going to the bank because robbers raid there, or not crossing the road because pedestrians get knocked down

Eyop:

So because someone displayed his foolishness as a result of being drunk now means inverted hammer should sell his own car or did inverted hammer mention to you that he's a drunk like your friend?

3ace: you still won't like to be unhappy as a result of buying a car you don't like simply because it is less stolen.

Da_b¤§§.:
who ask you?

Eyop: Bro forget about that car because my very close friend's own was stolen at gunpoint at Mafoluku. When he narrated the ordeal to me,he swore never to buy any Toyota vehicle again. The same armed robbers that robbed him also snatched 2 Toyota Corolla,1 Camry(his own which was over a year old),1 Toyota Highlander and 1 Toyota Rav4. His own was the worst because he lied to them that there's no security installed in the vehicle thinking they will just kick him out of the car but he never knew they will drive it with him but after like 30mins of driving,the vehicle was off and that was how they knew that it has a security installed. He said they beat the hell out of him and after he showed them,they threw him out only with his boxers.

So why buy a car that you won't be able to go out at anytime.

okpara ugo:

I agree with you. God is the actual protetction we need. I dont shy away from leaving a holy bible on my dashboard.

Some guys were almost cursing when i came for car recovery after abandoning my broken down toyota car for 3 good days out of annoyance close to a highway. I noticed hands on the doors and the boot. But they couldnt open the car even with the spare tyre showing clearly inside the car...

Four of them were warning me, ''dont you ever keep your car here next time''.

But the kind prayer i pray for that car those 3 days no get part 2...

Fajzay:

One bad practice thats common to Nigerias is overlooking the benefits of insurance. All you need to do is do a comprehensive insurance for your vehicle from a reputable insurance company (Likes of Lead Insurance, Mutual Benefits etc). If by any chance you are unlucky and robbed, answer their questions, dont try to be smart cos you could loose your life in the process, show them the security if it has any and still have your life. Afterwards, make the report to the police station, contact your insurance company and get your vehicle / insured amount back.

Alternatively, you can have a car tracker that can be installed and once you are let off the hook, call the service provider and let them know exact location of the vehicle and car can be shutdown. Goodluck!!!

Eyop:

You took a very wise decision my brother. We agree that companies will do a comprehensive insurance on any official car they own but my problem is that sometimes the armed robbers might result to killing just like you mentioned that the guy had his leg shattered. No one will look at your Hyundai tucson so enjoy your ride. Most times i don't blame those that buy Kia or Hyundai even though i don't like them. my choice is Mercedes Benz and will always remain so for a very long time.

sarcoma: Bros comprehensive insurance on a 1999 car did u consider the cost

Eyop:

We agree that getting a comprehensive insurance done on a vehicle is ok but what about in the case where one is killed even after showing them the necessary securities installed in the vehicle? Armed robbers sometimes kill because they are aware that immediately they kick the owner out of the vehicle,he or she will contact the service provider so to avoid the issue of shutting down the vehicle they will kill. The best bet is to avoid such vehicles that attracts the armed robbers.

Siena:

There are too many makes and models of cars for the OP to be unhappy, if he / she bought an alternative to the almost obligatory Camry. Like in over 2 million makes and models, he / she won't like any? Unless you're saying life is incomplete, without ownership of a Toyota Camry?

datmix: Don't bother buying it... Mine was stolen at gun point

vicoloni: I have been privileged to use almost every popular models of vehicle and honestly I still don't understand why Toyota is overhyped. Try Ford vehicles and you'll be glad you did.

chucky234: I hate that car and big for nothing model from the very first time I set my eyes on both, wack cars with bland interiors.
