More Pics Of The Honda CR-V
The CR-V should be the one that suits, as it's reliably rugged plus cheaper and available parts. But it is too cost for that price for a Nigerian used, 700 or 800 would have been reasonable unless it's first grade used, (I mean bought tokunbo and used for several months) of which at that price it could still be negotiated depending on your bargaining power.

It's a Nigerian used vehicle, it would be advisable to go with a diagnosis technician ( I prefer them instead of those mechanics)

Best of luck

The two cars are a NO,NO,for a pensioner, those twó cars are problematic cars without second hand value.A pensioner should buy a car that will offer him rest of mind.

Most pensioners go for TOYOTA brands and not problematic cars like Kia,Honda,Mazda, Mitsubishi and the rest.
Most Toyota Models Are Way Above His Budget Of Around 1m. . . Do You Any In Mind That Will Go For That Price?

The CR-V should be a good buy considering maintenance and easy access to parts of the car compared to the Kia. Honda parts are relatively cheap compared to Rio and still have better resell value.
Noted. . . THANKS.

And I have a clean CRV that I want to sell around Dec. And I am not in a haste though.

When I say clean,I mean very clean first colour and driven by me.

1.5million or a little less...indomie intact,fuel economy is fantastic,A.C working.

That is the picture below.

You have 12yrs between both cars, right? That should tell you something my brother.
Consider what age would have done to the structural integrity of both cars. Every other thing can be fixed from engine to suspension.
In my opinion, Go for the Kia cos of the age difference.
That Was My Thoughts Initially But With The Comments So Far About The Low Maintenance Cost And Efficiency Of The Cr-v. . . I'm seriously Considering Going For The Honda.

The reason I mentioned Dec,was because I want to use it this Dec to travel to my village after which I will sell it.

Since he can't wait till then,u can go ahead with ur present transaction.

But CRV is great.


Good luck to the elder man.

Honestly, don't touch that CRV. True it's a more reliable car. But note, the car in question is 24 years old. And you said it's for a pensioner. So unless you want him to spend his pension repairing that car, keep off it. There's no amount of durability that will prevent the issues that car will have especially because it's Nigeria driven already. Worst part, it's overpriced. 500k should be the max.
Now I'm Confused. . .The Comment I've Seen So Far Have Beem Mostly Advicing I Go For The Honda.
So Whats Your Advice?

Get a good Toyota Camry 1999-2001 a.k.a pencil light or fish light. That car is very reliable and hardly break down, for a pensioner, that's his best bet. But a good one should be around 1.2m above.

It's not the end of the world if you would, but you have to be sure of what you are buying

If the mechanic is a trusted one that knows his onions, then it's not bad.

Chairman, you got all this car price from Jiji and there are so many cars on that platform that is good for Pensioner like Okerejuowo (Toyota corolla 2000-2002 model) but your variety of choice CRV & KIA. I stand with CRV but is very expensive or your own cut has been added if no look for better offer again that same platform.

That Honda is overly priced bro.

You can add small money and look for the one that follows this one you posted.
I bought this and used this car for 11yrs nothing serious untill I junked it in 2019.
The Kia generally are not easy for maintenance, the parts are not cheap at all,especially for a pensioner.
So You Are Advicing We Go For A More Recent Model Of The Cr-v?
His Budget Is What We Are Considering Tho. . . Do U Have Any Car In Mind That Can Go For Around That Price?

Just because Honda or Toyota vehicles are good and rugged for our roads doesn't mean you should jump on any of them you see.

I don't think this honda in this photo will be a good one for an elderly man. The picture says it all and I believe the owner is just looking for way to get rid of this vehicle.

Hondas are good, but stay away from this particular one in the photo you posted.
So What Do You Advice?

Then, go for the CRV.

The only issue you will have with the CRV is the bolt joints. It can pull out easily and it is not funny when it happens on the highway.

So, always ask the mechanic to check on it from time to time.

And it is not too expensive to maintain.
Thanks For Your Input.

I don’t care how good Honda is why would I buy a 24year old vehicle compared to a 10 year old.
I’ll take the Kia .
The milleage on Honda would be 999999 compared to about 333333 on the kia.
Thanks For Your Input. . . But I'm Concerned About The Manual Gear Of The Kia Cerato And Also I Heard It Parts Are Quite Expensive In Case Of Maintenance. . .

that's a big plus rather. Manual gears are easier And cheaper to maintain. Even the direct Belgium parts of the honda in the market have all expired. If he buys that Honda, his mechanic would become his closest ally in the next six months

Let me start with a joke, so you want to collect better advise and carry my money go buy for another place, dont buy the two, they are bad grin now on a serious note, there is no peace of mind with that budget.*FACT* You said he is a pensioneer and he is old, if anything happen to that man na you kill am. Cars without peace of mind are more expensive than N1m. Tell him to be patient and be on the look out for 2000 corolla or an Honda Civic from direct owners, I doubt if they will sell for N1m but he may get lucky. And you mentioned Top choice, people without good budget should not have choice. Kia parts are expensive and scarce while the Honda is not looking healthy. Dont kill that elderly man, be patient and get him a small Corolla okerejowoe or even EOD.
I Know Say Toyota Na Be King But Nah Condition Make Crayfish Bend.
The Only Toyota I'm Seeing Around That Price Range Is Pencil Camry And That One Look Like Toy Car To Me. . .
Thanks Tho. Which One Is EOD?
