colossus2: You have my response already. Who assurance do I have that a 2012 range will be faultless By 2019, if I get a NEW one, it will have a who lot of toys.. When it comes to cars, I love to start their life-cycle. Affordability, is Wats makes used cars come to stay.. But you will pay the price of a NEW one in the coming years of usage via expenses and what not.. If you have driven a NEW car without looking under the hood for years, you will understand my point. |

colossus2: Nope the adulterated fuel been sold in naija will ruin that range rig in less than a year you will be tendering empty palms for repair in 2 years time, what will be in your mind is "F**K that range it has to go today wetin happpen, won so eran mo eran ki ikan kon ikan pa" |

nurey: Pls tell him.. Maintenance culture comes to play here. I can't trust what ever maintenance some previous owner/s might have offered the car.. So I buy it NEW, and do it my way.. And it will serve me like forever.. We saw a thread of a 1985 G wagon, bought brand new, and returned back to the museum recently after years of service... Fellows, there is nothing like a BRAND NEW CAR.. |

nurey: I will pick the 2014 Toyota Yaris or the Honda City. My selection will be based on the features both cars have. |

Siena, Kias are not as bland as you put them. Every model of a car has trims. My family drive Kias. Dad drives a Cerrato (2009), mum drives a Soul (2010), sis drives a Rio (2012). All are brand new and all are the top trims in their model range. None has ever been to the mechanic for any repairs. Service is done at Kia dealerships. Tires and brake pads are changed at Kia dealerships. The Soul has done more than 36,000 kilometers and the Cerrato is close to 100,000 Km now. Every car manufacturer has issues with assembly quality or material quality once in a while. Even the mighty Toyota had to recall a lot of vehicles for issues and defects. OP, if you want peace of mind, please buy the new Kia Rio. Preferably, buy the sedan type and add a lil bit more money to get the highest trim. Your warranty will take care of almost any issue (except accidents of course) that you might encounter in the car. The three in my family have had no issues so far and are still going strong. Our former mechanics have long lost our numbers because they have been rendered redundant by the kias. So for peace of mind, please get the Kia. That lexus is already 11 years old and some components will start to fail sooner than later and they will be really expensive to replace. 2 Likes |

Thanks all for your comments, suggestions and advice. A colleague in my office that uses Camry pencil eye, called today seeking advice from me as a crdt officer, he was thinking of picking up a cerato. And I asked, as a big Tyne traveller that's travels Friday after work and resumes from uyo every Monday morning, flogging his pencil Camry, " will you be able to flog your cerato like that"? Your guess is as good as mine. A machine is a machine, irrespective of the year. Interior wise, I' ll take a factory leather car Lexus than a fabric Rio. Today I was carefully looking at the roads in PH, and I can tell you, despite all the comments on old cars or Lexus problems, I still found more Lexus 300 on the road than Rio. My frnd in cotonu gave pics of RX 300, going for N1.4m, looks clean, i' ll take chance with it by DEC/Jan. Thanks brothers, you were all awesome! |

slydog: If Camry Pencil light is a machine to you, then you really don't know car key from steering wheel. Please don't take offence. I am just making it obvious to you that you really need a lot to catch up with it, if you wish to. You have proven what I said in my earlier post. Ikenna |
Re: Tokunbo Lexus Rx 300 Or Brand New Kia Rio 2014 by Eyop: 10:20pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
slydog:My brother,you call Toyota Camry pencil light(1997 to 1999 model) machine? Or you meant mechanical machine? If you see or drive the real machine,what will you call that? Hmmmm.... |

Seems you guys didn't understand the statement. After my comment on the pencil car, a new sentence began. By machine, I mean these Japanese cars are built to last, till their zero scrap value unlike their Korean counterpart. Hope y'all get the gist now. Not to worry, I've settle for 03 RX 300. 2 Likes 1 Share |

slydog: I got you clearly earlier. That is, you all along took Japanese cars as machines, much better built or better quality than Korean cars. Yet, you started a thread to have people decide for you, when you already knew the one you would always prefer. So, its the whole psychology that wasn't clear to me. Next time, I would suggest you research on what you want silently. Ask for clarifications in some areas, if need be. If your findings is ok for you, then go for it. If you don't like your findings, find another one and research on until you get your heart desires. Don't ask people to make up your mind for you. You will always get yourself confused. Because my taste and reasons for that may not suit you. Good morning. Ikenna. |

Stumbled on this thread and was highly bemused. My pastor has driven his Hyundai accent 2010 model for 5 years now and has done nothing but change plugs. The said car is his official ride from his company and is always on the road to pH and other far locations. Years back, I use to think Kia were bad. The company I worked for then had fleets of them and there was always one complain or the other from the drivers. Cars were always in the garage, but in hindsight, now I know it was just poor maintenance culture from the drivers and a malicious intent of milking the organization dry with spurious claims of breakdowns |

nams77: Nothing beats maintenance on a strong car, since I got my RX, there HV never been a time it failed me, I do change fluids like engine oil every four months, I've never bought anything in the engine beyond break pads |
Re: Tokunbo Lexus Rx 300 Or Brand New Kia Rio 2014 by montero4(m): 6:45am On Feb 15, 2018 |
03 Rx300 all the way. I bought one 3 month ago after I used my Camry for about 5yrs. I have got no regrets........... I can't trust Kia, unless it's a gift. |
