I mean something a bit tasteful will do.Some one even told me once I could get a tokumbo ML320 2001 for about that price.But generally I'm looking at something classy and simple at same time not a jeep.

The corolla is running into the the budget constraints we have, you know.So I'm looking at the actually purchase price and other little expenses to be about that 1.2Mn. And I really want something still in the game.

I need to understand what you mean by still in the game. Except you want a Nigerian used car, 1.2m can not get a Toyota. would have advised you do EOD(accord) but its not as strong as Toyota and has some salient issues that a car expert car manage. I have used Hondas all my life with no issue. Buy EOD

Do you like Italian ? they are pretty nice rides,, I guess you can also get this Lexus IS 200 within your budget

Op...you can try opel vectra instead of corrolla,Camry it looks stylish and for the young minds just as Mazda6 and at the same time you will be driving something different from Toyota

Ok I am a fan of mazda6 and discovered to get the model I would prefer(2009) its quite high..Buh the opel vectra you suggested seem really cool and different ..Haven't known anyone that drives it though.But it would seem like a car I would want to drive, I will check its specs now.Thanks

I think maintenance plays a vital role,, RX300 it pretty expensive to maintain compare to the one I uploaded earlier

I met one on one with a 05 vectra user in Abeokuta last month,he has been driving the car for a yr plus now without issues just regular parts replacement and maintenance,he said the car is fuel efficient and fast for a 4 cylinder engine and that the shock absorbers need proper monitoring...parts are also available in ladipo..I also like the firm sound of the door panels when closed just like a c class and no transmission issues whatsoever and the car is not easy to come by on dealers lot except you do cotonou or buy from Europa coz its not as common as toyota and honda which are overpriced
Geowari are you a Geologist BTW i'm a Geophysicist..all the best
