I Need Help With This Camry Decision; Camry 2.4 or 2007 Camry spider by TheRealGEJ: 5:22pm On Jul 08, 2016
Fellow nairalander I need your help on this decision. I've been using a 2006 Toyota Corolla since last year, no single issue as the car is a good an reliable car but very boring, and too light. So I just sold off last week to get a Camry 2.4. But just yesterday a friend introduced me to a dealer who has a Nigerian used Camry 2007 for sale at a price of 750 with an engine issue. I tested the car but the engine is weak and he adviced I'll have to change the change. I told him I'll get back to him tomorrow. The car has been resprayed but has a neat interior. From where it has been parked, you can see that it's been there like that for 2 or 3 months. The interior is okay and neat. My question is one, is the price a good bargain? And secondly after changing the engine, is there anything to be weary about ?
Engineers in the house please I need your help

Hehehe... I won't say it's greed, it's called weighing your options. I stay in delta and I've see some very crazy deals. Like spider been sold for 900k, lexus and evil spirit. But then it's all about being in the know. As for the Op you didn't tell us if it's a 4plug or V6 engine. But my worry is, for the dealer to sell 750k, then obviously the owner is selling 650 or 700K. Is the car really clean and not accident ed car, why didn't the owner replace the engine and make more profit. There is something they're not telling you

It's a 4 plug engine
Re: I Need Help With This Camry Decision; Camry 2.4 or 2007 Camry spider by nurey(m): 6:55pm On Jul 08, 2016
just make sure its not a 4 plug hybrid engine to avoid stories that touch. A Nigerian used clean one goes for around 1.5m depending on year, trim and gizmo so do your due deligence, price engine, remove the money, check transmission, make sure its top notch. If you "Nogere pereh" we will be awaiting your help needed thread. Peace grin

Thanks for your contribution. I really appreciate. It's not hybrid, just an LE. Engine is 200K, the gear is very okay and the car drives with that bad engine only that it has a knocking sound hence the dealer told me I'll need a new engine

What is wrong with hybrid? Why are Nigerians running from it, well that's a discussion for another day. Nigerian use for 2007 is less than 1.5 unless you're talking about 2009/2010

engine is 250k, installation about 30k, logistics for moving engine to workshop about 5k, engine oil (synthetic) 5quartz (mobil 5w30 usa) 15k oil filter OEM 3,500 total over 300k.

No one will sell a toks 2AZ-FE engine less than 250k unless there is somthing wrong with the engine or if it is a 1AZ-FE rebadged to look like a 2AZ-FE engine.


Meanwhile, if you have already bought the car, we can strike a deal, I have a fine 2AZ-FE engine for sale. 10,000km guarantee or 3months which ever comes first, (provided you follow certain laid down conditions).

Nothing is wrong with hybrid, it's just a complicated engineering setup, that can only be worked on/fixed by an hybrid expert.

Nigerians aren't running away from it, I have seen hybrid really common on our roads civic, prius, ford escape, camry, accord, highlander just to mention a few.

Since dollar has increased prices of hot cake cars have gone up including Nigerian used, the most outrageous is golf 3 used selling for 400 to 500k. Also remember a lot of things determine car price in Nigeria.

the compressor that came with this is the manual clutch type, a nairalander has booked it, if he does not redeem after a month then I can sell it.

Alright, I get your point. @OP if the body is clean,buy it. Getting a 2007 camry will cost you nothing less than 1.1m. 750K for a car without an engine is not a bad deal if the car is clean
