They're hurting their own business, don't they know that I might have connections and people willing to buy cars when they go to Nigeria?

LOL >>>>

You have a Very Long Compulsory Options/Specification and You seem Vast about Cars Already, Even many Car Dealers Dont know the Options You Dont want in Cars

I Personally Dont think You need anyone to Suggest You a Car to Buy, You Already know what you want.

davidylan: 2012 Honda Pilot. You cant go wrong.

Ileke-IdI:


David, is this a joke?

That car looks nice, for a man. I need something a little more feminine looking and student-friendly. Think of gas money

With my old altima, I bought $50 gas/ bi-weekly (if I'm lucky, sometimes weekly).I drive 45 minutes on the highway every morning. I just can't imagine the gas cost for the Pilot.

davidylan:

On the pilot its $70 gas bi-weekly if you are judicious with your driving but if you're travelling long distance then budget a lot oh.

have you tried the toyota RAV4 and the new honda crosstour? pretty nice cars.

Ileke-IdI:

Being judicious with driving lol. My 45mins driving out and another 45 mins driving back is something I can't change.
You guys have it lucky with the transportation system over there. A car is a desire, not a requirement for you

Ileke-IdI:

For the RAV4, it's like the H. Pilot. Looks high maintenance, high cost of gas, and God forbid if it needs to be repaired. David, are you trying to be mischievous here?

Why do you think the crosstour is a nice car? If you have other reasons other than the way it's exteriorly design, I want to hear it. From the outside, it looks like a design mistake.

davidylan:

I live in MI now, you HAVE to own a car else you stay home 24/7.

davidylan:

The RAV4 is not as bad in terms of gas mileage (about 27mpg highway). The crosstour is a nice looking car, you must be visually challenged.

dayokanu: I have dibs on your Altima ooo. How much you wan sell am. Lets talk business tomorrow

That was my first car in the US and it served me well before I shipped it to Naija. My brother dey use am do big boy for Naija now

Would you buy my current car? I am thinking of buying another one for my birthday in August

dayokanu: But why do you want to buy a brand new one?

Where are you going to get the money from and don't tell me car notes cos you are too young to be getting into gbese like that,


Well i take my car to the dealers directly and the fix it for me and also give me a loaner car to drive during the time.

You have seen my car before the black one which you said the plate number wasn't fine. The FX35

dayokanu: So whats the advantage of leasing over buying(car notes)

dayokanu: In my own view assuming you are paying $300 per month for a lease, why would you pay an amount and not own the property.

If you buy and are paying notes, you can easily trade in when you want new ones and the value of the car goes towards the cost of the new one

Ileke-IdI:


Remember, the price also depends on the car I'm leasing. I have a friend who had a great deal, she pays $160/mo.

Remember, if I decide to purchase the car that I'm leasing, I can easily request to buy it.

I'm not leasing just because of the price, I'm leasing because I fear something happening to the car in the next 2 years. I can lease the same car for as long as I want. If I decide to buy it, the amount I paid while leasing will be subtracted from the total of the car.

Ileke-IdI:

Trading in is not so easy. . . . the value of the car goes down dramatically once you drive it off the lot. Therefore the value might not even cover the new car I want.

Ileke-IdI:
PS: I'm not even sure if i'm leasing or buying yet. I'm still thinking about it. . .

davidylan:

and if you decide not to buy? all you paid is practically lost.

davidylan:

Depends on the car. The trade-in value for honda, benz, audi, BMW is still very good even after 2 yrs. Of course if you bought a Ford or hyundai... you're on your own.

dayokanu:

How good is your credit score? 500? 600 or 700?

I think your car should be bought and the notes can go towards building credit.

regarding your Altima, Whats the fault it has? what is the mileage on the car? And how much are you willing to sell it to me?

Personally, i dont think you need a brand new car buy a 2009 model with low miles like under 20k miles. You can get the Camry for around 10k

Its a reliable car, fuel efficient and the type a grad student would need. The notes shouldnt be killing too

Ileke-IdI:

However, it depends on the car and the person. If the car is going through mechanical problem, then it's more of a gain than lost to be able to drop the car for another. If it's simply the leaser's desire to try another type of car, then in a sense, it's not a lost to them. It's an advantage.

Ileke-IdI:

Yes, of course. Hyundai is a no no. I heard that fords are stepping up tho.

Ileke-IdI:

2) I wasn't going to buy a 2012-2013 cars. . . something inbetween '08-'11. Less than 20k mileage.

3) Personally, I don't think I can deal with a used car again. But if I H.A.V.E to, It would have to be less than 20k mileage.

4) I'm not selling my altima lol.

davidylan:

Any car you buy should still have warranty to cover at least the first 2-3 yrs so mechanical problems will be practically be at the expense of your dealer. I still say its better to get a car note than to lease.

Yeah the latest Fords are doing good now. But first what is your estimated price range so we can better help you look?

You dont want a used car again but you want a car from '08?

Are you planning on getting one packed at the manufacturer's warehouse?

If you have the money then i would suggest going with a nice Lexus or Buick sedans. Good retail value and sexy female cars to boot.

If you get used from a dealer, make sure it is "certified" used and no more than 25000 miles max. My truck is about 2 yrs old, 24000 miles when i bought it and still as good as new with all the bells and whistles, warranty e.t.c. With good retail value, i will be trading it in within the next 2 yrs for a brand new smaller car. Easy.

toba: Making the discussion a US affair. wonder why u chose NL as the venue as against madison square

Ileke-IdI:


We have NL dealers who sell in the US too o. i.e inspired_m

And you really don't need to be in the US to talk "car". ara oko lol
