Car gurus on Nairaland, I'm hoping to buy 94/96 Camry for transportation/chauffeur service very soon. From what I've read & heard, the car is reliable and fuel efficient but further information about the vehicle is highly welcomed.


Siena, GAZZUZZ, honmusa & any one with information should please help out here. Thanks

The car is strictly executive with high maintenance cost as it is packed with 2.2 V6 engine, auto, leather seat, etc. The owner wants to dispose it definitely because of its high maintenance cost. Ideal car for transport are 1.6 or 1.8 cc i4 engine capacity, manual which must nt b Honda because Honda usually has ball joint and upper arm problems,bad for Nigerian roads

In that popular Lagos streets, Golf 1 & 2 are still being used for cab. I'm not trying to compete with Uber or e-taxi.

Camry 1996 itself is an good car in it original condition but Nigerian used version might not be so .
U will need to take along with you a professional that will help you to check the condition of the engine ,transmission, electrical issue.This will guide you to know the true worth of the car and this will aid you in your bargaining .If you are in Lagos ,u can call my number(08061166316) for inspection .
Then make sure what you are buying is obd2 compliant so that it can be easily scanned by Obd2 equipment for ease of maintance in the future.

oh alright then i get you. but, trust me, those who use golf 1 & 2 et al wish everyday they can get newer/better cabs. goodluck with your business, the orobo is good enough for what you have described anyways.

It is a very strong car if you don't mind its age. You however have to inspect vital components to ensure that they won't create a conduit in your finances.
Also note that the engine is bigger than the Golf 1 and 2 you're going into same business with.
