so I missed buying a good and neatly maintain Honda Accord 2004 from a fellow nairaland ( babadee to be precise) this is because of endsars protest..

so later I resume the search , contact different sellers I couldn't get something like the one I missed. I was about to give up and resume next year then I just saw another ad on jiji obviously I have been skipping the ad for long time. I contacted the seller ask about is real price and I gave mine ..we agreed to meet on Monday.
some of the things I want in this Accord are ,audio system with dual climate control, leather seats. etc..

The day came we met and checked the car , renegotiated and took d car back..

of course it is a used car there must be things to fix .. just to let you know we traveled like 50miles to meet d seller and took the car without hiccups with full A.C..

some of the things that need to be changed : back absorbers
front bumper
boot and tank cover not controlling
sand protector passenger side
rear seat leather need refurbishing I can still manage d front ones.
minor dent on driver rear side..
engine mounts need replacement
I want to personally restore to factory settings
coolant,fan and thermostat.

some positive side of the car:
no rust on body and underneath,
engine is a tokunbo engine,
transmission select smoothly,
all buttons and control working very well on the car ,
the body is good
AC system is superb..

I will try to furnish us with d pictures tomorrow.

if you have any questions, suggestions, corrections or complaints feel free to drop them.

Not a bad buy really albeit that depends on the price tag. Fix the engine mount, back shocks, boot and fuel door lash and install an OEM thermostat because I’m pretty certain there’s none in the new engine(typical 9ja mechanics). As for the body work, you can always save up for that later.

Would you recommend that Honda for someone earning less than 100k monthly.. If its toks

Yes but get a i4 cylinder, to get slightly better mpg, keep money for repairs due to wear and tear, if the car is toks, service every 3k miles with 5w20 oil, use honda DW1 genuine transmission oil when you want to change transmission oil. Pay attention to sounds coming from the front two tires, so you know when your ball joints go bad.

yes bro, with your Tok option u already finished it...
even a well maintained naija used is not bad for ur income but it may be scarce to get.

thank you boss, please can I use total red coolant , then what are some tips u get for me.

Eldemmi:

If your can afford to buy the Honda Genuine coolant, you’d be better off. It costs between 13k to 30k on Jumia.

Through out my ownership, I only had to top up the factory coolant with 1Litre abro coolant, Honda coolant is blueish so I don’t know if the red coolant will serve you; pls seek expert opinion.

As for tips: Stick to manufacturer recommended fluid, majorly the tranny fluid. Guess yours is ‘05 from the picture uploaded so no worries about transmission problem.

Do not buy new ball joint/shaft except you are ordering from Amazon/EBay/RockAuto. Buy Toks from Oyingbo if you are in Lagos

The car will serve you greatly if you take care of it. I miss mine everyday

The heated seat is everything! It really helped during my Uber days. Anytime I feel cramps due to spending too much time in traffic, I simply press the button and all is well
