What can I say? Naija is full of deceit and this is also seen in how they transact businesses. It's a known fact that every second hand car being sold out there has a problem which the seller is not willing to disclose to the unsuspecting buyer. Hence be prepared to buy a tokunbo engine and replace what is there currently before you can have rest of mind. The main fears I have is gear transmission issues which is a difficult call. You must test drive it to observe a delay in transmission or related issues before you can do anything. Besides, is that the real car or just the type, because that is not a Naija used car from what i can see.

Hello everyone, as the state of things are presently with hike in price of almost everything, is buying Nigerian Used of this Toyota Corolla Hatchback advisable? And how is the maintenance cause it’s going to be my first car actually. And also please what is the price range for the used ones? Thanks a lot for your response


My very first car was a Naija used and it was the best car I ever used maintenance wise and for its efficiency. It was a Mazda 626 , for the 2 years I used it I only changed brake pads and did servicing every 3 months. The only other time I spent money on it was to change the injector nozzle. I never touched the body or did any engine fixing , it never broke down once or had shaft issues , I had peace of mind for the 2 years I used it. My next car was a corolla ( another Naija used ) and I regretted ever buying it from the first day I got it ( it was even a lot costlier than the Mazda ). My next car was a Volvo 440 ( Tokunboh ) , it was also a beaut , didn't cost me much in the first 3 years and it performed well. On the 4th year it started giving issues and I had to sell it. Anyways , I'll only say getting a Naija used car isn't as bad as people paint it but you must check well before making your purchase

Very good car, if in good condition. Very fuel economical but make sure the engine is still sound, otherwise you’d have to shell out 320k for a new one. Yes they’re very pricy.

Overall, it’s an economy car.
That car (EU Corolla 2002-2007) is the Nokia 3310 of all Corollas ever made.

Op, follow this checklist.
1. If that car was UK used and converted to left handed steering, avoid it. You'll keep spending on power steering/shaft problems.
2. Was that car a manual gearbox car that was converted to automatic? Avoid it. Problems with the gear system is likely to arise if not latent already.
3. If the car was EU- Used with factory-fitted automatic gearbox and sound engine/gear, then GO FOR IT. It is a very reliable ride. A used one here with the specs I listed on item 3 above with a nice AC is sold for 1.8-2.4M here in Europe.

[i]Is dat all?!

I stand to be corrected but there is no Corolla XSE (Xtreme Sports Edition) trim levels in years 2005-2007, 2008-2010, 2011-2013, 2014-2016.

From 2014 to 2016 the closest thing to a Corolla hatchback is the Scion IM which in 2018 turned to Toyota IM.

I believe XSE trims started in 2019- 2020 Toyotas.

That's a good and dependable ride there, and it is highly economical.

Go for it OP!

With this car, you should expect all the best features Toyota can offer as most features have been reserved for this highest trim.

As a hatchback design, which is way different from the coupe and sedan Corolla more usually seen on Nigerian roads, the hatchback is ideal for private and even business use.
Nigerian drivers who are unfamiliar with it should expect a ride that is pleasant with a unique touch.

The car is a very good car, it is the hatch back version of the Toyota Corolla popularly called BANK type. My wife used it and she enjoyed it for years before selling it without issues. In my opinion, I feel it's stronger than the popular Toyota Corolla used for UBER/ Bolt however, some of the parts can be scarce to get sometimes like the light.

You can buy it, if in good condition and don't joke with change of oil.

This car looks really nice, get a mechanic to look at it buy it if you are okay with it. I sell cars and I wonder how people still afford Toks with the current exchange rate.

Like most people have said here, the car generally is a nice car to buy. However, you should first of all be sure that the car is not stolen. Stolen car can drain one of all his joy when traced to the person.

Also, be sure it is not accidented and even if it is, it's effect on the vehicle is not too much before it was worked on. Be sure interior is ok too.

Then finally, the engine should be sound. If it isn't, in your negotiations a cost of replacement should be considered.

If you like Lexus 450 let me know. With very good engine and body very neat in and out but the only problem is the gear. So you will have to change the gear only. I'm giving it out for 1.8m. Buy this car and be the lucky owner, you will always pray for me.
