Hi guys

What kind of car will you recommend for single working lady that knows nothing about car and doesn't want to be visiting mechanic everyday.

My budget is 400-500k

Is Honda civic( 2001-2004) such a bad car?
I rather buy a scooter than to buy Honda Civic

That car leg can pull for Africa...! Kai

I don't think Nigerian used will sell at that price _ let alone Tokunbo. Nurey, what do you have to say?

I have even seen Nigerian used for far less, but I have not inspect it anyway.

My sister bought hers 600k (American 2000 model auto with AC) when dollar to naira was 400+ and the engine wasn't good, the person who inspect it didn't do a good job, new changed for 90k borne by both parties (seller and buyer grin).

@Naturelle05, the Civic is your best bet, the European version looks more solid in terms of body and can withstand stress more than the American version.

You can even get the tokunbo of the European as little as 650k to 900k depending on year and type of transmission. It has a wagon too, so good, if you intend to use it as a transportation vehicle during your free times (for eggs, bread etc).

No civic experience leg pull, I have not seen it once whether it's European or American leg pull isn't associated with this model.

If you get one very clean without rust at 300 to 350 even if engine is bad, it will be good as the remaining balance can be used to source for engine and do solid leg works for the car which will give you peace of mind
