What Car Can I Get For N1m? by tolajay: 3:13pm On Apr 04, 2019
Good Morning Bosses,

I have a budget of N1m to buy a car.

Don’t know which I should buy: Corola, Camry, Accord or Civic?

Which would you recommend in terms of reliability, efficiency, fuel management and maintenance?

Note: I’m a first time owner.

Thank you.

Definitely, it must be a fairly used car bcx I can't imagine a direct tokunbo car for #1m.
Except golf...
Corolla is better bcx of the fuel economy.

Go for say Toyota Camry 2001 a.k.a drop light.

You can still see clean registered one for amount lesser than 1M while you reserve what is left for few fixes and maintenance. Thanks

Okay.

But you absolutely think a Golf will be a good option?

1. U can still get tokunbo Camry 1999, Corolla 1999/2000 and if u can up ur budget 1.2–Toks Honda Accord 2004

2. Nigerian used sadGood engine and ok interior )
Honda Civic (small tank and good fuel economy but low ground clearance)

Toyota Corolla 03-05(good fuel economy and ground clearance but a car parts and robbers delight)

Camry 2000 ( not bad in general but the fuel economy not that good if you drive around a lot)

Camry 2003-2004(dame as above)

Volkswagen Passat/ Jetta 2007-09 ( fuel economy not bad , cheaper parts than corolla and Honda but you need to find a good technician)

And so on.

Re: What Car Can I Get For N1m? by tolajay: 1:13pm On Apr 05, 2019
Thanks.

But this sounds scary...Using a 1999 car in 2019, that's like 20 years difference.

But I heard the fuel consumption is high.

Do you have a personal experience?

Re: What Car Can I Get For N1m? by tolajay: 1:17pm On Apr 05, 2019
Thank you for the insightful comment.

Would you advise Honda Accord, say 2005 - 2008?

Honda Accord 05 is the last of the Eod and a lot of improvements were done on it . Fir your budget you can get an 05-07 for 1m

Parts are not expensive and easy to get. Just service and used required oil for the gear and check legs after a reasonable amount of time and you are good to go.

Not sure that is true.

I do not have personal experience with it; I just know it is economical when it comes to maintenance.

With your budget and the likes considered, please don't go for that Honda.

Despite that parts are always readily available and affordable, you might need to be replacing or fixing this and that often in order to keep it in good shape depending on lot of factors especially that your budget can only easily fit in for Nigeria used. Thanks

You are very correct which is one of the reasons I didn't buy its 2003 and 2004 models but went for clean title 2005 when I got it few years back.

The 2003 is the most problematic (auto gear)

The manual versions don’t have any gear issue at all.

Do you have experience with the 2005 Accord?




Maintanance makes a lot of sense if you're disciplined. You have to be. Also depending on the road you ply. But very economical too and well fashionable with good interior. 800k should get it for u(naija used, perfect condition) Keep 200 for maintenance
Re: What Car Can I Get For N1m? by TPound(m): 8:14pm On Apr 22, 2019
Would you like a 2009 Kia cerato automatic... It's very clean.... Can give you for 850
