Among all the choice of rides that you have selected, Avalon would have to be the best choice. Toyota Avalon is big, stable and powerful. A 3.5-liter V6 pumps out 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission comes standard. The front-drive Avalon is based on a heavily modified version of the previous-generation Camry chassis. XL comes loaded with standard equipment. The XLS is more upscale, with premium features including a moonroof and a six-CD changer. The leather-lined Limited serves as the model's top-of-the-line trim. In road tests and reviews, we've found the Toyota Avalon to be an excellent large sedan. Highway driving is luxurious. The V6 engine pulls smoothly and powerfully, while posting impressive fuel economy numbers, compared to some other V6 engines, fuel consumption is really good. Maintenance is cheaper than the rest and being a Toyota product there is technical know how everywhere in Nigeria. The second hand value cant be compared to any of the other on the list, especially where Nigerians are yet to wake up to Acura. The Engine has so much life that at 500K Km, it is still ready to go with so much life in it. We just delivered 2 Avalon to our great customers {One 2001 XLS and another 2000 XLS model } That ride is a machine, and if you are interested, there are more where those came from.

yanmata: yanmata: [b]@ Mr. Yanmata, It looks like you are not completely sold on the idea of the Avalon (despite all the advise on this forum) which is fine. You seem to be grappling for that lone voice of dissent that will recommend the Acura over the Avalon. Acura is not a bad vehicle. They are excellent vehicle. But one critical thing that makes the Acura lose ground against the Avalon is the RESALE VALUE that you want. You can easily re-coup 50%-60% of your original investment on a Toyota when reselling (provided its well taken care of), that can't be said for the Acura. The 1995-96 Camry/Avalon still goes for close to N1m and can be sold within days, you can linger on selling an Acura forever before you get any reasonable offer. As good as the Acura is, it has not grown to the status to attract a huge following in Nigeria for it to command an excellent resale value like the Toyota. Its still a niche market. You don't have to explain a Toyota to most people, but you have a lot of explanation to do on the Acura. You can even have an easier time selling a Honda Accord than Acura, even though Acura is the luxury version of Honda. Regardless of whenever or wherever you buy the car, if reselling matters a great deal, you will need to consider your target audience. Otherwise, the Acura is an excellent car. [/b] |

thx Kunle_A and Flemmmy for that professional advice, have taken your advice and ready to fly within a budget of 1-1.2m for the avalon of my dream, |
| Re: Pls Advice: Avalon, Acura 2002-2003 - Which Way To Go Plsss? by KunleA2(m): 6:27am On Apr 19, 2010 |
yanmata: The best i can do is a 2000 Avalon XL (No leather) for N1.5m. I will let other dealers weigh in. It cost about 450k to ship and clear an Avalon. So the N1.2m will not fly at all. At least as far as i am concerned. Good luck in your search |
| Re: Pls Advice: Avalon, Acura 2002-2003 - Which Way To Go Plsss? by yanmata(m): 6:36am On Apr 19, 2010 |
ok will consider disposing one of my cars to home drive my new baby if prive is the problem, but kunle u posted a pix of one xls leather seat above, wont that fly for the price u mentioned pls lets deal |
| Re: Pls Advice: Avalon, Acura 2002-2003 - Which Way To Go Plsss? by KunleA2(m): 7:43am On Apr 19, 2010 |
yanmata: The best i can do for the car above is N1.75. Its a one owner car. Very clean and full options. Low miles for the year. No odometer rollback. No Accident. No surprises. Avalon is the top of the line Toyota make. The XLS has all the full options. Wish i can do it at your price but a lot of things are out of my hand. My email is: promise72@yahoo.com |
