bro, buying a nigerian used car requires mechanic to help you check well. both are great cars.
am not really comfortable with the ringed engine of the corolla (my opinion though) .

from me to you, choose dat camry 5 times before you even remember corrola was the other option.

Siena:
Assuming both cars had their stock engines, as in they'd never been taken apart for major work, I would have gone with the Corolla. It looks nicer, less dated than the ponderous, clumsy Camry. The Corolla also looks much more dynamic than the Camry, which I also associate with older users. It's a staid, dull-looking car, with an elderly image.

However, as I do not trust Nigerian mechanics to get even a basic timing belt job on an Audi 80 1.6 I4 8V right, I would NOT feel relaxed driving a car that had been subjected to a piston ring job. For this reason ONLY, I would go with the Camry.

Take a competent Toyota mechanic along for a thorough inspection and make an informed decision based on that......
Nigeria used cars can be deceptive especially if you are looking at things from a face value.

If the corolla hadn't got a work on the engine, I'd go with it, it looks nicer than the ugly camry which every average worker is buying these days and it's all over the road, if it's for ur day to day city driving I suggest u take a chance with the corolla or find a corolla that the engine haven't been worked on. If u regularly embark on a journey I suggest u pick the camry for it has a bigger engine, more spacious and is more balanced on the highway.

DGD1:


let me believe oga boss is not comparing the cars with the pictures OP attached. from that picture, the corolla is pimped while that camry is stock just as it is (base model/trim) without alloys.

I won't mind going with the corolla like you suggested. I don't travel often but when ever I do, I cover 9hrs+ of journey.

Question: Can a mechanic know if an engine had ever been ringed without being told? like i said to the poster above, that information I do not have from the owner of the camry. The corolla guy told me...and I'm in a little fix here because I'm not paying cash down. Both of them I get to pay in installment so...
