I opened a trend few days back about a friend who is intending to sell his Nissan Altima 2001 model for me, he said i should bring 250k coz we are friends. The car engine, gear and ac is very perfect according to the report my trusted mechanic gave me when I took the car to him for inspection. He told me to pay on time for the car before my friend change his mind because he will definitely sell it higher than that if not because we are friends. So is the price worth it my people because I'm paying for the car on Monday. I need your contributions please.

Yes it is good for that price but be ready to spend the balance on visiting the mechanic's workshop like once a week.

From what you have said
AC working perfectly
Gear working perfectly
Engine in good condition .
Your mechanic confirmed it.
I think you should buy it.
But what's the mileage?

Thank you for your contribution sir. The mileage is 87k sir. He doesn't use the car much because of the bad road that leads to his house and that's why he's opting for SUV and hence he needs to sell this car.

ok sir. I know the history o the sir because I knew when he bought it as tokunbo 3yrs ago and he doesn't joke with the servicing of the engine as at when due. He is a road safety official and he knows the danger in not maintaining cars. Moreover the mileage is below 90k which means he doesn't use it as such. Thanks for your contribution sir, I really appreciate sir.

O ra motor 150 thousan, o ni ko ma taku loru.

You buy motor of 150 thousan, you talk say make e no die for road at midnight.

No be me sing the song oooo, na Q-dot Alàgbè.

It is a car of 250k and not 150k sir. Moreover, I know the history of the car and it is used by a friend so I am not buying from a random person. Thanks for your contribution anyway.

Pay 200k for it. Its ok

Altima or Maxima? Just be careful with this two esp naija used

If you know the car and its history .... why ask us who know nothing about it?

You should have read between the lines that I was only asking for reviews about the car to know how durable it is. So far I know the history of the car and how sound it is doesn't mean I should not ask if there might be issues I could possibly be experiencing about it in the future. Thanks for your contribution too.

Altima sir (2001)

that model was made when Nissan still produced good cars but sadly now Renault has merged with them they now produce cars designed by accountants.

There is no way that car is 87k on mileage.

My brother. I used that car for 4 years 11 months. You will be visiting the mechanic regularly. Please don't buy it. It is a devourer

I think it depends on your usage and maintenance culture ( possibly servicing with low quality engine and transmission oil). You are the first person giving negative review about the car (both online and offline). I have decided to risk it coz I believe no matter what happens, I can't still sell below 250k and at the end I won't have anything to lose. Thanks for your contribution anyways. I appreciate.

That car’s engine is overheating. Don’t ask me how I know
Since you have made up your mind, I wish you well.

I wish you well young man. You have laid an unfounded allegation that perhaps I was using low quality engine oil and transmission oil. You do not know me at all. Have you seen any of my cars?

What if he doesn't use it at midnight?

Looks like your mind was made up before you even opened the thread. All the best sir.

As is usual. People and their quest for purchase decisions validation.

I guess we are all guilty

If you haven't purchased it, can I please have the seller's number?
Don't worry, I'll settle you

There’s no car brand that doesn’t have issues even amongst Toyota’s and Honda’s, I want anyone to prove me wrong. Mobility is no longer a luxury but rather it’s a necessity. Oga, buy the car, it’ll serve you for a couple of years till you can upgrade to a higher taste after all, motor dey call motor. Just get a good mechanic that’ll be servicing it
