I drove Camry XLE V6 2011 from gwagwalada to benin 2020 December

Spent about 11 hrs on the road cos of traffic. I no off this car once nor off ac. I no do top up till I enter Benin.



This year January, I drove RX 350 2010 From Abuja to Benin, from Airport road Abuja to Benin, I no top fuel till I enter Benin

The best decision I made last year, everyday I wake up and see my Corolla,I say thank you Lord,in Nigeria cars appreciate and not depreciate.

Hello. Season greetings to you.

I have an interest in the vehicle. Please, where's your location, let's deal. Or your contact?

The first time I tasted pork meat nobody begged me to eat it. I just took one look at the faces of everyone indulging and knew that it'd be as sweet as Eve's apple! He that would look to the weather before sailing must never put to sea. Be there looking for an accountant to calculate fuel vs thief for you till fuel pump price go press you die for neck! Why have money at all sef, abi thief no dey thief that wan too?? Here's a tip, don't leave your vehicle with the mechanic for long. Stay there in his workshop till your car is fixed. Watch were you park if you're going to leave the car for long and the kind of places you go to, opari! As we say in Nigeria, the rest is just God's grace.

Sadly those days are gone.
These days to fill up the tank of a Corolla will cost you nothing less than 36K!

Venza 2015 any day any time... I love my former Voltron sha. That's Toyota spider but steering wahala made me go for Venza 2015..

Navigating through the vehicular landscape of choices, akin to the myriad of car options on the market, one observes a familiar pattern. Much like the tendency of Nigerians to gravitate towards a newfound discovery, be it the ubiquitous Macmillan textbooks of yesteryears or the current trend of embracing Lantern quantitative and verbal reasoning.

In this metaphorical journey, I draw a parallel to the Toyota phenomenon, where a singular choice becomes a widespread preference. However, the automotive realm, much like life itself, unfolds a plethora of options, each potentially more fitting for its purpose. The allure of Toyota, celebrated for its fuel efficiency, echoes the collective embrace of a popular choice, perhaps overlooking alternatives with similar merits.

The crux of the matter lies in the propensity of individuals to follow the footsteps of their neighbors, perpetuating trends without delving into the broader spectrum of available options. This inclination, akin to the Toyota factor, manifests in a cascade effect, with one neighbor influencing the other in a domino-like progression.

Yet, inherent in this trend lies a crucial realization—the existence of alternatives that may surpass the current favorite. It beckons one to explore beyond the immediate circle, analogous to venturing into West African countries for more economical solutions. The advice, though specific to car parts, extends as a metaphorical suggestion to probe beyond the familiar and discover cost-effective alternatives.

Furthermore, the astute recommendation emerges: if the pursuit involves repairing your metaphorical car, consider seeking parts in neighboring West African countries like Cotonou, Togo, or Ghana. A venture across borders may not only yield savings but also serve as a testament to the cost disparities influenced by demand dynamics.

In conclusion, the automotive analogy provides a lens through which one can glean insights into the broader human tendency to embrace what is popular without exploring the wealth of alternatives. The Toyota factor, while emblematic of a widespread phenomenon, prompts introspection—encouraging individuals to question, seek alternatives, and, in doing so, potentially find a more economical and fitting solution.

My post was not based on the statistics

Please suggest other economical cars that are reliable and not so expensive to acquire.

At least they didn't steal the whole car (because the mechanic that did this is skilled enough to steal the whole thing)

Small small, you would fix it back next year.

Its a nice car, if u live in a secured gated compound & ur work place is also well secured!....

If ur goal is fuel economy, forget that crap, u are better off with a Honda civic. ..better design, less desirable by thieves & also slightly better fuel economy than the Toyota corrola

This vehicle is overrated.
Corolla ain't better than Camry in terms of fuel consumption, maintenance or parts.

Generally, Toyota cars are usually economical when it comes to fuel consumption but for a Toyota Corolla, its way too overrated especially when you can't get your foot off the gas.

GboyegaD:
The topic, I have read it over many times and still can't make out the meaning.

The body, not sure I understand the writer's opinion as intended. Is the writing opining that it is a good car to buy because of its low cost of maintenance and fuel saving ability or a bad car to buy because of the high rate of theft/vandalism of the vehicle?

For the last question, I think one's intention of owning a car and one's maintenance budget for a car should guide. I have a Corolla and while the OP stated the maintenance cost is cheap, I do not think so when I compare it to my Honda. At each routine maintenance, there's always something to fix and this is just a 3years old vehicle.

Your comment is golden; informative and authentic. A colleague of mine at work changed her Corolla engine for 750k, since then my mind changed.

Are you sure about this?? Toyota Camry? Cause I know someone using a Camry

Your mind no go touch ground again, anytime you park am na so you go dey fear for where you say (unless the car remains in view)

Lordofalmajiri:

Speaking from experience.
Corolla is overrated.
As long as you keep firing the accelerator, the fuel will keep burning.
Camry fuel economy is also good plus the cost maintenance is cost effective. The steering is much powered than a Corolla that's too mechanical.

It's a matter of choice.
In practical terms, it's overrated.
