Nice read @Op. I made sure I went for a car that I understand well n easy to maintain. Parts are cheap n everywhere. Fuel consumption is reasonable. I don't care if it's not a modern car, but I'm cool with my ride as I pay apt attention to its maintenance.

Just get the one with cheap maintenance, like my Golf 4.

Hi! Exactly how cheap and easy is it to maintain a Golf 4? How does it compare to a Honda Accord, say the 2008 model?

If you want to buy a car please ensure it is brand new.
With a brand new car one doesn’t need maintenance of any sort for five full years.
I will rather buy a brand new Kia Picanto over a second hand Pajero Jeep any day.

For me, buying a car has always been stressful. When I bought the last car with my wife, I went to the salon with heart pills and a https://www.marijuanabreak.com/cbd/cbdpure-cbd-oil-review. First of all, this is a very big money for me, but now there is no getting away without a car. Secondly, this is a big risk, since you do not know whether you will buy a good car or not.

Forget long talk. Corolla is the way to go. The most reliable and durable ones are 2003 to 2007 models. You can go within one year without a brake pad replacement. Just fuel and services. I laugh at some folks who just want to own Honda as first ride. Na hypertension go just be your potion. When the joint pull for 2 times for one month, body go tell you. grin
I don’t know where you guys get this misconception from. I have a Honda Accord that will be 7years in December, and it has been a wonderful experience so far. It was my first car too. I find it difficult letting go off it. Everything boils down to your maintenance culture.

Can you all hollon hollon & hold on.

The best good you can do to yourself if you wanna have a long lasting ride, then you get 2003 RAV4 for solid body & plant in a 3S-Z Engine which incline to all viscosity of oil

Hypertension talk? From a corolla owner? Wonders will never end. Na corolla owners get the hypertension issues fa. Go to bar for drinks you must monitor, house you must monitor, Oga swerve one side. Try a clean Mercedes Benz for 5 years you won't see the mechanic.

I am also thinking of getting one soon, EOD/DC precisely but the view of my colleagues is hell bent and discouraging and I like this car die.. But the astonished part is I have a senior colleagues using it and enjoying the ride but regular servicing @ 2000miles which he's still enjoying.. I am cut in between it and corolla.

Oboi you can lie o grin
5 years without seeing a mechanic. That's a fallacy or hyperbole, if you ask me. For someone who's just owning a car for the first time in this part of the world. I mean in Nigeria, simple engineering vehicles like Corolla and Camry are the best. Fuel efficient and availability of expertise and spare parts. They are easy on your pockets. Resale value is high too, at least more than any other brand.

As for car theft. It's easy to guide against that. Get a steering lock and a tracking device, PERIOD.

Don't mind the guy. Get a Corolla and drive on any road or anywhere in the world without minding the ball joints.
It's more pricey than EOD but holds its resale value. The only aspect an EOD is better than a Corolla is acceleration. Don't get that scrap, i have seen friends who are in bankruptcy because of that poo.

2003-2004 EOD goes for 600-800 for naija used or even less depending on its condition. But you can never get a durable Corolla of these years for less than a million naira.
Some folks will tell you it's prone to theft. Then get a steering lock and a tracker. And don't park it in isolated places to avoid vandalism.

Yes, it is fuel efficient but not like Corolla. It comes with 2.4 litre engine or V6 of 3.0 litre. But Corollas are 1.6L or 1.8L, except from 2009 sport edition which comes with 2.4L engine.

2012 Rav 4 is quite pricey; 4.5million to 5million depending on the trim and neatness.

Hehehe fuel efficiency? Have you tried the Mercedes Benz A Klasse? Availability of fake parts you mean? The costs of Mercedes Benz genuine parts and Toyota genuine parts are same! Corolla theft and steering lock or tracking device hahaha you make me laff ... So when your Corolla is cannibalised you'll be tracking its ECU and other parts in the market? Oga why not take a career in comedy?

have never use Honda, but Golf parts are cheap and for the oil, they use common 20-50 which is not pricey. My report, take it or leave it.
