What are really the cons of purchasing a Used in Nigeria v6 cars? Most of the cars i like are in v6 engine (especially coupes) but I've always been discouraged by mechanics and people from buying Nigerian used v6. And there's no money to get a toks v6. So to the car gurus on NL, what are the cons of a Nigerian used v6 cars?

I'm also willing to know

All cars advertised are BUY N DRIVE. Liars!

hi, v6, v8, v12 and so on they are all good engines depending on the maintenance of this cars , am an auto guy and am very much into cars engines that are recent and big engines save more fuel then the four cylinder on longer distance and short moments well its all abt wat u like or want to get from a car wen driving it .most local mech guyz are scare of big engine due to the fact of no clue on wat to do but mate i wish u all the best u will enjoy any big engines .

blackwest:
lets me explain recent car with like let say v8 or a v8 engine as 8 cylinders rite, not all the 8 cylinders fires at go with the help of the ECU regulating the combustion in the engine , a range 2015 5.0L does 14 MPG (CITY) and (HIGH WAY) does 19 MPG on premium fuel while a corolla 2015 1.8 L does 30 MPG (CITY) and (HIGHWAY) 37 to 40 MPG so from the values av given u do the maths and if ur still not convinced i will sent u some links so u can read ur self .you see gone are those dayz were big engines were bad buys , like theres this new F150 eco boost engine pls bro you need to see the veiws on the engines check it out on youtude hope i could help lol like the says its either we go BIG or we go HOME!!!!!!!

and so u dnt get me wrong
1, i said on longer distance a v6, v8, v12 etc will consume less way less fuel than any i4 engine on a steady rev eg let say i am driving a range with a standard engine 4.4 or 5.0 and you av a corolla of same year and we both heading to ibadan so to say ,both cars on 100 or 140 kph and like i said both cars on a steady rev the big engine will do way less fuel than the 4cy reason is very simple at that speed the ecu of each of the cars re-regulate the injection of fuel in the engine ( for the v8 it reduces the spary to drops on the steady moment at 140kph while for the ecu intends spray move fuel to keep up at that speed on the same steady rev (lets at 100 kph u were consuming 100% at steady rev then u increase to 140 kph at thesame steady rev wld u belive that the i4 engine consumption of fuel will btw 90% to 110% while the v6 or v8 will do less of 60% but if dnt agree with this then am all ears to ur explanation with poof
1,

Please sir give this a rest, try and understand the concept of mpg, in a modern v8 cylinder deactivation can only get you max 26/27mpg and that's on an Audi engine. 35 mpg is 35 mpg if the 4 cylinder engine revs at 3000 rpm at 140km/h and gets 35mpg if the v8 likes let it deactivate 7 cylinders it wouldn't get 35mpg at the same speed, it's a heavy engine in a heavy car it would burn more fuel for the same distance at the same speed. I admire your enthusiasm. Please read up on mpg

bros wats year model are all this cars ur naming , dude claim like i said all the facts are base on 2015 models

blackwest:
well you said v8 are all built for power no lies about that wen it come to aggression and fastness but wat u dont also know is that they do less fuel on longer distance and steady rev this is due to the slow engine circle (for an i4 engine combustion is very fast season bn is that 1342 the distance from the plug the piston t father then a v8 engine i think the only i can explan to you realy well is to invite you to my workshop so i can show u better and then we both put it to a test as well
