Na old motor.. If you try to fix every minor creak and rattle, it will bankrupt you.

For those kind of body creaks and rattles that don't affect drivability, just increase volume of radio and keep driving..

Old car is an old car, nothing more.

Thanx boss my brother is into mechanic so he will b the one to be helping me to buy original ball joint,not in the case mechanic will collect money for tokunbo and go and buy China that will spoil in 3month

Don't buy tokunbo.

Buy original. You'd pay through your nose but you'd enjoy it. When you buy it, please don't allow anybody out fire or tack it with fire!

That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Make sure they use all the necessary pins and clips too.

Congratulations on your ride!

always dey keep money aside for ball joint, for it can pull at anytime and anywhere, without signs. Better still, change them every 4 months, 2 be on safe side. Apart from this Honda na sweet ride


Small small bros. Ball joint won’t wear out at once without giving signs…

Apart from German machines like Benz and BMW, Honda is one Japanese machine that is a speed demon with good balance.

How about Lexus?

PEOPLE LIKE you ehen person gaz run from you...he only ask for ideas and prayer not discouragement... we all know that when u give ur car to bad mechanic nah OYO... @youngfocus am also Using Honda Accord DC 07(discussion continue) and i have been using it since Aug 2018 till date i never experience issue because bcus i take care of the car like my first born.. i use (mobile semi-synthetic oil 10w 30 (please stick with one type never change oil type it will destroy the engine) ask the previous owner which type of oil the person was using before. if its foreign Used car check oil cap (to see the recommended oil type) if you are to oil mobile oil please buy it in mobile fuel station anywhere else will kill your engine.
if you are living in Lagos please and please take your car to Oyingbo market whenever the car have issues (you will thank me later) if not that mechanic you think is doing you a favor is actually killing you. Best advise you can get.
One love bro welcome to the family.

Re: I Have Finally Bought My First Car by chuuxxy: 1:36pm On Jun 15, 2023
congrats.... that was my first car years back... disregard what a lot of peeps say here... just have a good maintenance culture and buy original OEM parts. I used mine for about 3years and never experienced a ball joint issue.... I do a monthly routine check on my suspension.

car is an awesome machine.... just enjoy it... hopefully in a year or more you will be looking at a 2013-15 model.

Congratulations!!
Since you have bought it already. Keep these two advice

1. Do not turn the steering to the last turn, the mechanism holding the arms of the tyres spoil easily.

2. When you see a heavy flood, and you see Toyotas, other cars passing through it. Please take another route.

Apart from this few observations. I think you are good to go. EOD, my dream car back then.
Nice car!
