Am sori bro,
i will go for none.
the 2cars are widely used both naija and abroad.
most of the honda accord 98-02 got high miles, same for toyota too.average miles of 170k
i saw one accord 99model V6 eng,leather seat,auto, bla bla bla, like 3wks ago.seller wanted to sell it for 1.250M and its done 300,000miles, dats crazy my bro.
if i were u, i will go any model with low miles and fair usage.
i recommend peogeut (cos of low miles on most of em, Honda civic (cos of low maintaince&reliability), Honda accord baby boy or camry tiny light(with low miles like 100k-130k and a gud one will cost around 1.3-1.5M)
please be careful with odometer reading as they can be tampered with.

goodluck with choice my brother,
for me am a coupe lover though and my choice wud be a Scion TC or peogeut 406coupe.
cheers, smiley

I export cars to Nigeria, and can get you anyone, but i will prefer an Audi to any those 2.
But if i must chose one of baby boy and Camry 1999 model, i will settle for the camry

Lets actually criticize the two cars.

Lets take a close look at the 99 camry. It looks like a bug which was corrected in 2000.

The pencil rear lights are terrible to look at. It makes the car look too cheap.
The wheels are usually 14'' and too low for Lagos roads and constantly bumping.
The exhaust is too terrible. Pokes out like an error. Do you admire how Mercedes, Audi, BMW neatly arrange the exhaust of their cars. You only see the tailpipe. For the camry, you always see a huge drum and a long pipe that dips down causing frequent exhaust break and leakage.
The front pointers are of inferior materials. They easily crack. I bet you'll never see a camry without a broken or cracked pointer. This bug was corrected only as 2002 Model (the one better called big-4-nothing)

The baby boy is by far a better car both in quality and durability. The pointer is integrated in the car's headlamps with the same quality of material. You will never see a baby boy with broken headlamps. Camrys are now copying this.
The remote control of Baby boy opens the boot for your convenience. The camry could only do that as from 2007.

The baby boy is by far a better car. More executive and more appealing.

I believe money is to an extent a measure of quality; from the price difference, you would know that camry is better. Its regarded a bigger car (in Nigeria) more than baby boy

@Fhemmy, how much will it cost me to get a good audi; need a reply, we could have a deal

My Broda, there are 1997-99 camry cars around that are less than 120k miles, lower than the average of 15kmiles per annum, so search well u will find em, moreso, I think mileage is little an issue than the koko here,

Femi, would u sell an Audi with its odometer not re-configured?, , recall I have had an experience with you last yr, so leave that thing.

@ Poster, there are lots of reasons people still buy these cars , even @ high price, mostly, its the availability of its mechanics almost everywhere, the two engines are quite easy to play with and can tolerate losts of stress, unlike these newer cars, suffice it to say here that the camry engine is now converted in some suv's cos of its rugged nature, they die hard, the camry is also more compact- body-wise, especially when its aging, if u r serious, go to cotonou and buy, u will find many as is, untampered. good luck
Re: Honda Baby Boy Vs Camry Tiny Light by Everestto: 7:17pm On Oct 22, 2009
Talking about price, babyboy is more costly.

If you're prefering the 99 Camry, be prepared to drive without side mirrors. The camries are equiped with rat-ear mirrors that are so stiff. Lagos okadas and taxi know well how to down 'em. Dont even think of changing 'em cos what you find in the market as foldable is made-in-china. They are not strong, not durable and not firm. When you speed gets to 120km/h, the ordinary wind will fold 'em. Till now American camries still do not have foldable mirror.

Tis up to you to decide interior does look better with the baby boy. Camry is rugged, parts are cheap, availabilty of mechanics.... But of cos the unfoldable mirrors. I use a 2000 model small light it came @ 157k miles I don't tink datz bad for 12yrs from manufacture considering an average of 15k per year

I use the camry and I have a friend/neigbour that uses the babyboy. I cover 50miles of driving everyday and he covers less than 40miles. I use just N4,500 fuel throughout a 5 working day week while he uses N6,500-7000 fuel for the same period.

For fuel economy and easier maintenance, go for the camry. Though, I think the Babyboy seems stronger and classier. undecided

Thats a wrong method to compare fuel economy of 2 vehicles, since one could have an injection issue and the owner drives it in that condition without the knowledge of the issue or having the knowledge of the issue. Did you ask him about the condition of his car injection system? He might not even be aware, since under inflated tyres or use of non specified factory tyre(s) could also hinder the economy. Even the use of water (only) in the cooling system would make the car run thirsty. Toyota is known for reliability worldwide, but not for best fuel economy.

If you really want to compare the 2 cars fuel economy, take both cars for scanning, fix any injection/electric issue(s) detected, return everything on the 2 cars to factory(tyres, radiator electric fan connection, coolant,etc) and then compare, as long as both have the same transmission (auto or manual), number of engine cylinders, naturally aspirated engine or turbo engine.

Ikenna.

That particular generation of the Accord is notorious for automatic transmission failure (especially in the V6 powered variants) while the camry on the other hand has a bland looking interior but is a much more dependable vehicle. If U̶̲̥̅̊ are aiming for the accord, try to find variants equipped with the manual transmission,they are very rare though...if long term reliability matters,the camry is a better bet.

I disagree with the bolded sir. I drive 99 Camry till date. I can give u first class experience. Immediately the car landed in Lagos, i told myself, i wouldn't drive this car until i got the collapsible mirror. I did @ Ladipo - 13k for the pair (though Tokunbo). Ever since then, i speed as high as 140km and never will it get blown by the wind.

Just to correct your statement so as not to mis-inform people.

I love my Camry any Day any Time........Highly rogued.

Both cars are reliable, though the baby boy looks better than the Camry.
But, there is a reason why we all go for either of these cars and that is because our mechanics dictate what we drive.
We have the money to buy other brands of vehicle but due to the bland and unwilling nature of most of our mechanics to acquire more knowledge about car technology we are stock.
I was chatting with a mechanic about Chrysler 300m, he said the ride is not reliable that presently he has one in his work shop and the transmission will not go past the second gear. You could imagine his own idea of fixing that kind of problem, simply because there is ABS warning on the dash he thought the ABS was affecting it.
From the research I made, the gear will go into limp mode once there is fault. The reason mostly for this is a faulty computer on the transmission body or a faulty transmission body valve and another computer on the inside of the transmission.
Our mechanics only do trial and error even with their own life. Toyota Camry, Honda baby boy are simple engineering and little fun compared to the likes of Mercedes, BMW, Chrysler, Audi and some other better handling rides.
Right now am in Jos. They like Honda products like .....
But for commercial transport they value Opel more while in Lagos mechanics will tell you Opel is no good.
Please explore enjoy and don't be limited to what you see everyday.

Go for the babyboy if you can live with a manual transmission and frequent monitoring of your ball joints. Honda auto trannys are rubish.

The two cars are reliable. The honda babyboy interior and exterior is better than the camry interior. As for the fuel economy it all depend on the miles. You can go for manual it is very easy to maintain and also go for the four plugs engine. The camry a/c is very cold, chilling like ice block. Mortuary standard. Enjoy a better car with a/c the choice is yours to choose. I have driven the two cars automatic with full a/c. It was very nice driving them because i gave them proper maintenance. So the outcome of cars is good maintenance. Good luck.
