Please I'd like to know how much a 2001/2002 Naija-used Honda Accord goes for?

And is it a suitable replacement to the Corolla for e-hailing bizness? That is if one cannot afford the 2003 Corolla please?
I dont think that accord year model is suitable for uber. uber accepts from 2003 cars and above.just get civic 05,very rugged car.fairly used can be gotten for 800k to 1m

Good day house. Please advice on Corolla 2006, Elantra 2011 and Sonata 2011. Its my first car, my preferred option would be the Hyundai cars but I'm confused on their durability. Budget is 2.5 - 3m. I'm also open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Please I need help in making the right Choice.
I'm torn between
Lexus Es330
Toyota Camry 2010
Toyota Corolla 2010
Which of these cars can handle a slightly bad road
I don't really go out much I run my business from home but the road that leads to my house is bad and Suv is not an option since my hubby already owned one. Thanks.

I was most recently faced with this decision and I went with the ES330.

The 3MZ engine is better more reliable than that coffin inside the 2010 Camry.

Suspension feels stiffer and better too.

I don't to talk about the interior, you can look and see the difference is 7up for yourself.

The only thing es330 has against it is that fish type shape which is supposed to help with the aerodynamic airflow.

Just get the 05/06.

The 2010 Camry also has a 3.5l V6 engine variant.

Pretty sure that 3.5l 2GR will run rings around the 3mZ.

2010 Camry with the 2.5L 2arfe engine 4cylinder. Rugged and good fuel economy. Just ensure you are on 16inch rims

it is a tricky one , if you have Volkswagen experience and good Volkswagen specialist technicians to fix it choose it.
other wise pick the Corolla if the inspection check out.

a very difficult one for real...lol the saying tukubor is better than naija used no matter what,but this is corolla we talking about here,honestly its a hard one but if I'm in your shoes I will pick the corolla(assuming its in a GOOD condition), for a lot of reasons,like easy to maintain and fix(not major fixes like transmission or engine anyway lol) and the Nigerian craze for corolla so just in case the need arises to sell it off corolla will be easy to sell of with better returns,and the way every dick and harry can get it fixed,BUT the major issue with uncle Coro is the security issues,must be very careful due to high theft record,its just my opinion o,doesn't make it the best ,its up to you at the end.

VW jetta is a German car,so obviously it will be more luxurious and solidly built,with better driving dynamics than the corolla,if you have a good technician that can handle it,then i will support you picking it.

But if not,just choose the known devil,because German cars need the utmost professionalism when handled,and that jetta sef no be joke,you have to pay so much attention to it,it wont tolerate the type of abuse that toyota will endure.

FOR LUXURY AND DOPE DRIVING EXPERIENCE: VW jetta.

FOR RELIABILITY AND NOT SO FUN DRIVING EXPERIENCE: Toyota corolla.

Best of luck in picking your choice.

It's a good truck. I maintain a fleet of 2018 trucks which a basically same thing other than the 2.7l i4 option in 2010 or 4.0l V6. They're serious work horses, very reliable. Take care of her she's gonna be loyal. You only need to watch out for suspension rattles, fluids and brake pads as normal service items especially when you do pass thru very terrible terrains regularly. That said they're rugged than the average suv out there.

You have my blessings and approval.

My bad made a mistake the 2010 had only V6 and i4. The maintenance isnt expensive, it is reliable and good both 4cylinder and V6 engines cost above 1m to replace so dont dull on fluid use and timely maintenance
