Following ooo,
Same delema,
Also need a car for agro use (poultry feed ones a while and eggs) and also family use..
I'm thinking of nissan Serena bit the one I saw for 2.2m is 2.0 engine and I have been trying to make a review on it

nurey:
Toyota sienna 1998 to 2003

has a V6 engine mated to a 4speed auto transmission, seats seven passengers and ability to remove the middle and rear seat to accommodate plenty cargo space. Down side is only front windows can wind down hence heat builds up on sunny days at the rear in traffic.
PRICE 900K TO 1.8M naija used depending on condition.

Honda Element 2003 to 2011
Has a 2.4L 4 cylinder K24 engine which is very rugged matted to a 4speed auto from 03 to 07, 5 speed auto 08 to 11 and a 5 speed manual transmission 03 to 11. Available in front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive (rear wheels only kick in when front wheels slip). Has a good cargo space and ability to remove the rear seats for larger space. The boxy shape is a turn off for some but gives it an edge in cargo carrying capacity.
Turn off are the funny rear doors, they can only be opened when the front has opened, no rear glass but a sunroof that can be totally removed but only available for 4wd models.

Tokunbo starts at 3.5m while naija used is 1m yo 1.8m depending on condition

Nissan Serena
Nissan serena is a cargo/people mover can. Has a FWD and AWD variant, the cargo variant is specifically for haulage purpose while the people mover variant can double for both though has less storage capacity than the cargo variant. Comes is a 1 8L and 2.0L engine the 2.0L touted as best engine among the engine line up. I don't know much about the diesel engine.
Naija used starts at 700k upwards.

Toyota Avanza/picnic/avensis verso/yaris verso
All this are cargo oriented vehicles there starting price for naija used is 1.5m, they come in 4cylinder, hood on gas.

Honesty101:


Thanks for your input. But, which of them would you suggest? I heard since sienna is automatic it's not ideal for such cargo?

nurey:


It is ideal just ensure you service engine and transmission regularly with recommended fluid

Honesty101:


Please sir, how regular is your regular?

nurey:


Engine oil 5w30 full synthetic oil 8000kms or 6months

Engine oil 20w50 or mineral oils in general, 3000kms or 3months which ever comes first.

Transmission oil has a range of around 60,000kms but the ideal thing because of our condition in naija every 2 years is okay to forestall damage

Boss!
Which of the year would you recommend as the most rugged in the above suggested Toyota sienna? If one is going for a tokunbo

nurey:


All are rugged, the older the model year, the cheaper the parts. On a general note 2004 to 2010 ticks the general note with the 04 to 06 with 3.3L engine most people's favorite

Hollawayn05:


Pushing for a 01or 02, anything above 03 will tear my pocket.. Family and few times haulage for farm produce, the nissan Serena I was pushing for enn, after payment I discovered it was diesel and the seller claimed not to know about it,
