Toyota Camry 2003 Vs Honda Accord 2003 Both Naija Used by mediclife1987(m): 5:45pm On Mar 03, 2023
Hello guys, so got just 1.5mill to shed for either of this two.

Which do you advice I buy my good people, as a point A to point B car, considering I'll be spending a total of 4hrs each day from Monday through Friday, in this Lagos.

Abeg make una advice me my people, cos I personally love the Honda Accord for it's aesthetics, but my fear is the leg, and it's reliability, when compared to the almighty Toyota!

Thanks for your anticipated response people.

So it's your heart versus your head here.
.. in the world of 9ja used cars where 90% of cars are badly used but well packaged for resale, I'll advice you go with your head to limit the volume of tears shed afterwards. wink

So Camry it is I guess...
I'll prolly just settle for the fish light 2001 Camry jarey. Buying it for 1.5mill should get me a quite sound one I believe...

The expensive engine and gear replacement is my fear. If you can use it will well without replacing, then you are fine.

Honda parts of 2001-2007 are cheaper than than of Camry of same years.

Go for the camry, with the 3.0L V6 (1mz-fe). Avoid the 2.4L (2Az-Fe), it has a factory flaw which causes overheating without warning in addition to being notorious for burning oil. Stay away from the 4cyl for peace of mind. Mine clocked 4yrs in December and is presently almost at 200k miles with No check engine light. I left lagos with a full tank of fuel and arrived in owerri with a quarter tank while maintaining an average speed of 85kph with cruise control and the ac at its lowest setting (this result has been consistent-this is my 5th time with the same outcome). The powertrain is very reliable- it’s just the suspension that occasionally has challenges because of our bad roads. Find a Nigerian used V6 that wasn’t abused. I use Hardex gold 5w 30 on mine and it performs perfectly.

the accord’s suspension has some question marks. I doubt if it’s as rugged as it’s civic sibling. Honda automatic transmissions aren’t as durable as the aisin-built gearboxes used in Toyotas.

Hmmm, what a fascinating experience.

I've however changed my mind sha, and stay close to work.

If I buy a car, I'll be spending #1.3million more. O could use that to open a business close to home...

I have a pristine 2003 Accord v6 as a second car.. I can't say for sure how much I got it because a client dropped it as professional fees for services I rendered a few months ago.


I don't know how it was done, but mine has a 2004 Acura TL 3.2 litre v6 engine and gearbox in it.. And it's perfect.And the Acura engine generates 270hp as opposed to the 240hp of the 2003 Accord v6... And I get 22mpg within Abuja and around 27mpg on long journeys.. So you can reasonably use it for E-hailing if the company will accept it.

Besides, I have read reviews of that Acura model, and it's engine and gearbox are bulletproof.. So I suppose my car is safe from any engine or gear problems for the foreseeable future..

So far, I have covered close to 3k miles with that accord without a single hitch or leg problem..

If you can scout out a clean version of that model of accord with an Acura Engine and gearbox, I would strongly advice it even over a 4 cylinder 2008 Toyota Camry.

See some pictures of my accord.. Don't mind the 3.0 Vtech engine bay plastic.. Look at the Acura stamp on the engine top

Ubers or bolt? Uber only accepts 15 years cars and below.

Why not add up to get Honda civic 2008? Or go for clean civic 2005 for Bolt with your N1.5m?

He has said it all. In addition, Camry was built for Nigerian road while Honda was not built to tolerate bad road, typical of Nigeria road.

My guy bought that thing camry 2003, a very bad car. I couldn't imagine how on earth he spent 1.7m to buy the worst car ever. I carried him in my lexus to go see the car after he bought it and came to my area. I looked at the car and was just seeing different kinds of abuse. The steering fluid is leaking, the transmission fluid is almost empty with heavy leakage and the car looked very awful. He gave me the keys I was scared to start it. I enter the car, turn the ignition, come see vibration like an earthmover, idling rpm was 2000 rpm, Damn. I plugged in my scan tool omo see codes everywhere. I came out and told him truly you've been scammed.

If you wan buy naija used car car, first and foremost carry your friend that knows about car first before u bring a mechanic. If your normal friend certify it okay, u can bring in a mechanic for a more indept analysis.
