Guys please how is maintenance on Honda Civic 2004? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:34pm On Dec 28, 2018 |
livewithpurpose: Good. Those engines aren't the sturdiest, from what I've heard, though. But maintenence is very cheap, suspension parts are way more durable than the equivalent Corolla's, for example. Feel free to buy one in good shape. |

HeavenlyBang: Thanks sir. So, I will go for 08/09 V6 OR 010v4. But if I go for 08v6 or 09 v6 hope it's OK. And hope the fuel efficiency is not too bad for either 08 or 09? |

royallord1: solid car but parts are extremely expensive and watch out for rust. My neighbour uses one bought brandnew has a very bad maintenance culture and car still moving fine. His own is a 4 cylinder engine. My verdict is you should buy it if it's within your budget range and use it judiciously not like a road rage vehicle |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:26pm On Dec 28, 2018 |
FreeConCiencE: Go for the V6. It's a hell of an engine. Toyota still uses that same engine on its cars till date. |

Is the Mercedes Benz C300/C350 2011 Model a good (in terms of durability, maintenance and value for money) car ? What are the Pros and Cons of this car ? 1 Like

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:44am On Dec 29, 2018 |
johnnyandy7: New engine on the C350, I believe. Don't expect Toyota maintenence, these aren't cars for poor men. Value for money? Meh, I'd buy a Lexus GS350 instead. 1 Like |

HeavenlyBang:NOT FOR POOR MEN. No Toyota Maintenance. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by johnnyandy7(m): 1:07am On Dec 29, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang:The GS looks good though. How much does it cost ? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 1:44am On Dec 29, 2018 |
johnnyandy7: If you have money for a 2011 C350, you should have the money for a 2013 GS350. New generation in 2012. Same generation is still running. Updated looks to match Lexus's current design, and handling and drive feel became much better. If you run it yourself via auctions, you should be able to land one for circa 7m. 1 Like |

thebigkendo: Ewwwww..... I hate that dashboard design. I detest it in fact. If I use the search button, then why am I a demeanour? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 8:23am On Dec 29, 2018 |
banky3w: That thread already has the performance argument. Anyway, sentiments aside, the Benz is a more sophisticated car. I mean, that goes without saying. Better looks, more prestige, better handling, better highway performance. Please don't buy a 2006. That SBC can fail when you're on the highway, and I wouldn't want to be in the car when it does. People drive it in the US because Mercedes faced a class action lawsuit and have a 20-year warranty for SBC failures there. In Nigeria, though.... |

HeavenlyBang: How about parts, does it share parts with other Toyotas ? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:14am On Dec 29, 2018 |
johnnyandy7: No. That platform is only used by the Lexus IS, GS, and RC, I believe. |

Please what's the implication of changing a tubeless tyre to tube. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:05pm On Dec 29, 2018 |
HRtechnique: Absolutely no negative effects. However, while your tubeless tyre may pick up a nail and you wouldn't know for a while, your tubed tyre will go down immediately. 4 Likes |

tellsblinks: The only tokunbo bus in that price range is VW vanagon/transporter if you are lucky and get the long chassis variant it can be fitted with 4 seats that can seat 4 people each, but the short chassis can accommodate only 3 seats of 4 people. other vehicles in such class are kia pregio don't know how easy you will get it There are 2 other benz bus like that too but I have forgotten their name benz vito |
