Hello Nairaland,

Please help choose a car for a first timer if you have good information and experience on cars.

I am not a good authority on cars, so I FOUND it difficult to pick for the person.

She wants either Toyota Highlander 2008
Ford Edge 2010
Or Toyota Camry 2012.

But here are some of his conditions :

She wants a vehicle with ground clearance, a bit of class and at the same time with a good performance rating, less fuel consuming and an easy to maintain one.

Her budget is maximum of 4M for (Tokunbo/Non accidental/clean title.).

She is also a new driver, meaning she has not driven before.

Thanks

I'm surprised no one has said this but the only car he has a chance of buying from that list considering his budget is the 2010 Ford edge.

He should forget about the others except he's ready to increase his budget by a minimum of 1m
