Second problems

if u cant get new one manage tokumbo but forget 2nd hand na heavy problem hand u wanna shake

I bought a registered 2005 bank corolla on NL 8mths ago as owner said he was travlling for masters in d UK and avnt had any major issues wiv d car - no regrets whatsoever; maybe i just got lucky sha

Som 2ndH are better than some toks. I bot a 2ndH tiny lite last year n v bn groving the ryde witout probs. If there is cash, u wld always enjoy ur ryde regardless of hw u bot it.

Well, since we all can't afford brand new cars, second hand cars ain't much of choice and you certainly could get a good bargain.

@ sirMethod u are right, some second hand are better than toks just as some toks are better than Chinese brand new. I bought a Civic second hand and never had any isseu. I have only changed two tyres and battery nothing else. It is better than my 9 months old 99 camry bought toks. There are good registered cars out there, with luck u can get one. Even toks is luck. I sold a perfect registered 01 Camry here last week, the lucky buyer knew he bought a good car.

same here, i bought a registered 98 honda crv for my wife in october last year....drove it down from lagos to enugu without problems, very clean no major issues except the usual ball joint, camber which we all know is due state of our roads...the bottomline is, get it checked out with a good mechanic & also make enquiry for the owner so that u dont buy a stolen car...goodluck bro!

i sold my 2003 toyota camry (big daddy) here on NL because everyone thinks it belongs to my dad. d person dat bought is still enjoying d car.
infact, i ended up as their family friend.
i have also bought a freelander here, second hand m, last year and it still groving til date

I'm a little confused here. What exactly is the difference between 'tokumbo' vehicles and 'secondhand' ones?

its all bout LUCK

many factors may affect this, in most casses some people hit small money the next thing you hear is the person has gotten a car and after two or three months he is broke, so what will be next line of call ? he will have to sell his car. nigerian used cars or tokunbo the chice is the amount of money, choice and your taste.

@ojmaroni,
That Sorento must have been used for car hire. It is rare for a car to acquire 84k KM/50k MILES within two years in Nigeria. And it is owned by a woman. Pls do your homework. I never wanted to spoil ur market. Just my observation.
