Hello People, my 1st time here, there is a Nigeria used Toyota Camry 2007 up for sale @1.4m that I am interested in. It would be my 1st car.
1: While talking. With a friend someone chipped in that that particular year of camry has a popular factory issue, so that got me worried.
2: I am a civil servant, is the maintenance cost a cause to worry?
3: Is it the recommend car for a 1st time user? Does it have good resell value?

Look for a well Maintained Nigerian Used 06 Camry....

I want an affordable, nice looking and fuel economic car but very hesitant about making a choice.
With a budget of between #300,000 and #600,000, is it possible to get a good car of my choice?
What should I look out for when making a choice of a car apart from the ones mentioned earlier. Please guide me.
Thanks

You bought an hybrid vehicle without a thorough check of the hybrid system, you bleeped up big time.

You have 2 options and both are very expensive and would cost you between 300k to 500k depending on what needs to be done.

You can either convert to normal Otto engine or

You can buy new hybrid battery pack

Talk to Gazzuzz to make appointment for better diagnosis.

Guys please I need help with this issue.

I have a Lexus RX 300 but I've noticed that the oil level seems to drop pretty fast, even a few weeks after servicing.

I use Mobil Oil by the way.

I recently drove down (serviced it a week before) from Lagos to the village (approximately 6 hours drive) no issues, got home safe.

Before heading back to Lagos (3 weeks later), I noticed that the oil level was low and I had it serviced again with 5 liters of Mobil oil. Changed the oil filters too.

But on getting to Lagos(another 6 hour drive) the same thing happened. Oil level had considerably dropped.

- There is no physical oil leakage where it's parked.
- The engine does not smoke

The oil just seems to vanish into thin air.

I'll appreciate if anybody has had similar experiences or can offer any tips to prevent this.

P.S car is in excellent working condition, only the oil issues.

Your oil is getting into the combustion chamber and burning off, do you notice any smoke from the tail pipe of the exhaust?

Anyways contact radautoworks, she is very good

It's your valve seals. Common problem here. Take plugs out and you'll see burn residue.

Alright thank you.

I'll have it checked out.

Any idea how much it'll cost me?

What year is your car? It's pretty much What dicksonadams described. Maybe I should hire him LMAO! It's just that the leak isn't large enough for you to see smoke when it burns off.

Hi all,

I realised there is a need for us to have a thread where we can say it very loud. Hence, the creation of this room.

In this room, we can derail as much as we want, discuss off topics, etc.

But please, no derogatory words, sales, adverts, spams or posting. Other than these, fire on!

*Note that this room is not for posting our normal car issues and seeking solutions for them. We have the entire section, outside this room, for that.

Moderator.

Can we discuss Used Car tips here and/or our experience shopping for used cars for sale online? Pls advise as I wouldn't want to be the bad guy here .....:-)

I read somewhere on this platform that somebody bought a used car and when he brought the car home, he found huge wrap of Cannabis under the driver search. Have you read it? What if he was stopped at Police Check point on his way home? If you are the person, would you return the Cannabis to the car dealer? Click here to read the benefits of buying Used Cars in Nigeria

Congratulations Nigerians. America finally got tired of us! Wait till you see why we are being added to the list

Good day House

I'll like to ask in Isuzu Rodeo and Nissan Pathfinder which sud come first in terms of reliability and NiGERIA Roads plus let's say cost of maintenance

Please house how much is d tokunbo engine of Hyundai ix35 2012

Car will be shipped from usa. Seller says repairs will be done in Nigeria within 48hrs. Please house, what do you think about the repairs. Should I go ahead

I gave my Corolla to a painter sometime in September/October.

While the car was with him, it apparently got flooded and water entered the gear. After picking it up, less than 5 minutes later, the car stopped entering gear and I had to tow it back to the painter. He brought a mechanic who 'serviced' the gear. And then they drained the oil and replaced it a couple of times.

Since then sha, I've had to drain and replace gear oil about 3/4 times. The car will be fine and then after awhile, it will just stop entering gear. I had to push it back home on Sunday.

It wouldn't enter drive but it enters reverse.

Does anybody know what could be wrong with it? Also, can you recommend a good gear mechanic on the island? The car isn't even moving at the moment

Run. Or you tell the seller to use his money to fix it and you pay in full when the car is repaired and tested.
