You can get toks between 8-10m. The problem with toks is getting a decent unit that was not heavily accidented. Due to exchange rate, clearing cost and the need to break even, you won't believe the kind of cars our dealers now import.

And I won't advice you to import yourself. Due to instability of exchange rate and clearing cost, you can easily spend 15m.

Hello everyone

I reside in the UK and I wanted to upgrade my car to an SUV.

I'm torn between a 2015 lexus Nx 300H (F Sport variant) and a 2015 Mazda Cx-5 (automatic, 2.2L Skyactive Diesel AWD, Sport Nav trim)
The lexus is more reliable, but the Mazda is a handling beast and has good reliability too for that year, compared to a BMW X3/X5.
I'm not sure if the F Sport Lexus Nx handling matches the Cx-5's

I'm only concerned about handling, driver-assist technology, cabin quality and overall driving/ownership experience

What are your thoughts please? I'll definitely test drive both before finalising my choice.

Or can you recommend any other SUV with the handling of a Cx5 and the reliability/interior of a lexus? 😂

Good day bosses, I’m looking to buy my first car with a budget of around 4-5M, though I have a good experience with cars but I need the OGs advice and choices on the best car I can get in that range
Nigerian used or foreign used any of them
I had a Honda accord 2010, a Lexus ES330, a Toyota Camry 2010 and some Hyundai or Kia series in mind I really don’t like the Toyota Corolla series

Do the 010 accord jejely (4 cylinder). You can also do the es330 (if fueling no be problem).
Most importantly, use a very good mechanic for pre-purchase inspection

Toyota Camry muscle sports edition. 4 cylinders engine. And invest a little in a diagnostic tool. As well as joining an online platform where users of same car discuss their problems and solutions.

I'm a Mercedes fan but can't recommend such to a first user.

Meanwhile also invest in traditional padlocks for the pedals.....even if you're parking for 5 minutes. Lock am. Insure am comprehensively.

Then it's the highlander or crosstour then.
If you're going for the v6 crosstour, check for 2013 above only because of problem VCM in older models

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by tivta(m): 4:23pm On Apr 01
Very educative and informative thread, glad to see we still have mature adults here on nairaland.
Please gurus, what car or vehicle would you advice a first time buyer to go for? He has in mind Crv 03 Nigerian used but afraid of the poor maintenance culture of Nigerians plus he really needs space, fuel economy, easy maintenance and high ground clearance due to poor roads.
Budget is around 2m, will it be enough for a good Crv if not what other suv comes close in size, fuel economy and easy maintenance?
Thanks for your feedback
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by TT20: 3:12am On Apr 02

definitely honda arent as expensive as toyota. Also the CRV has a 4wd if you dont want extra maintenance cost, stick to a FWD and buy one with the 2.4L engine not the 2.0L engine

I thought a 2.0 engine would be preferred because of fuel consumption?

Just asking sir

Fuel consumption is negligible in both, the 2.0L engine parts are scarce and expensive when available

Hi Auto gurus , this is a great thread

I need an upgrade , tho I sometimes drive on bad roads but I mostly drive on fairly good roads. I am considering the accord 2013 but at the same time I'm worried about ground clearance. Please recommend any good upgrade not more than 6m. Use a Pilot 07 and civic 07 at the moment
