How about RX330 pls?

RX330 3.3L V6 3mzfe steel engine, comes with timing belt 240hp

RX350 07-09 3.5L V6 2grfe engine, comes with timing chain 270hp aluminum engine.

2gr is more expensive than 3mz, 3mz can absord issues from overheating, 2gr will get damaged if overheating occurs.

Pls i need more info on this as I’m in need of another Hyundai accent engine
olumzzz:

That elantra generation has 2 engine variants.
The 1.8L and 2.0L engine.
The 1.8L engine variant were those sold brand new by dana motors and the tokunbo engines are very expensive like you said.
The 2.0L engine variant were those imported from USA/Canada as tokunbo cars and the tokunbo engines and gear are very cheap. The engine was 150k before but maybe it will be more now.

Good day Sirs. Pls, what is the best year to purchase for the 2010-2012 Honda Accord? What are the things to look out for when buying and what are the common faults when owned? Which trim level is the best? Am I good to go with the i4 or the V6 is most preferable? Does it have sufficient ground clearance?

NB: Am buying it for wife and it will be majorly used for school and market runs. And may be a total 100km to and fro visit to the inlaws once or twice a month. Thanks

You can't go wrong with any. I actually prefer 2012 Accord I4; alternatively, 2011 model of the same 4 cylinders. I will only recommend V6 if you want power and performance. With the problem of technicians/experts with V6 engine here in Nigeria and the auto transmission problems of some v6 Accord models, I will certainly choose the 2012 4 cylinders model.

Hello. I'm a first-time car owner, and I have a budget of 1-1.5M for a car. Not looking for anything flashy. Just looking for something durable, fuel efficient, not expensive to maintain, and advisable for first-timers. What cars do y'all suggest? I have seen you say Toyota and Honda are advisable, but what models?

Also, what do you ladies and gentlemen think about the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta?

Honda civic 2002 to 2005 or 2006 to 2009 naija used any model year that catches your fancy.

Nissan sentra 2002 yo 2005 also good

Probably you can get toyota yaris or Echo less than 2005 for that price. They are good though a bit cramped

Tricky one, I would pick the 07 C280 because of the minimal luxury, refinement.

For speed, the V6 accord is bae as long as you take care of the ball joints and change the timing belt as at when due.
