But most salvage titles have major underlying ailments and sicknesses even after repairs.
Salvage title in auction mean the car can be salvage and legally l allowed back on the road. I bought 3 salvage car last year...

One just needed a bumper and fender plus body paint respray

The second just needed door replacement and airbag crash sensor replacement for driver side.

The 3rd was panel beater work for a dent on the roof, fender and water pump replacement

Honda has better interior than Toyota but the problem with most honda accord is the gear apart from ball joint pulling which can be managed.
The best Honda combo in my experience eod + manual gear, thank me later

what about all these salvaged tokunbo cars being imported into Nigeria?
Salvage cars are not bad... They are only accident cars written off by insurances companies over there... They are cheaper to fix or rebuild in naija

Due to uncertainty of when the virus will decline, I will say focus on survive for now, car and luxuries later.

But if you need to go to work in public transportation... Get a car

overhead meaning it takes a lot of energy, if you're always driving on a traffic free road, you won't see it as an issue, but use manual car as your regular car in lagos where you'll spend on the average 4 to 5hrs everyday in the traffic.

It’s really crazy when you save up or get a loan and end up buying a car you really wish you hadn’t most likely after driving it for a short period.

Okay so far I have personally purchased 6 vehicles over the years and I only regret buying 1.

My wife’s birthday was coming up back in 2012 and I had about 600k to buy her a present. Since she didn’t have a car yet, I decided to go buy a Nigerian used car.

I searched online and found a car I think here on Nairaland. A brown Toyota Corolla 2001. It was looking neat and all and was being used by a lady banker at eco bank, akin adesola. So since my office was close by I went to check and it looked “okay”. I checked out some basics, did a test drive and left. I paid I think the second day.

First two months the car was smooth as I went to Ibadan twice from Lagos with it. My wife used it lightly too as she wasn’t working at that time. Regular maintenance was done and all until one day I think around the 3 months after purchase.
I started the car and saw plenty white smoke behind. When my mechanic came he said the engine was previously ringed and plenty stories that didn’t touch.

I remember selling it off for 400k.

Share yours?
That wasn't that bad, simply replacing the engine 150k job or rebuilding 50k job and life for continue.

Well this is one I almost made but na God save me, I saw an hybrid Honda Civic 2006 here on nairaland for 100k, my plan was to buy and change to conventional engine based on mechanic recommendations for 500k, luckily I met a guy who did same... He said he had spend up to 700k and still issue with electrical etc

Car Talk › Re: My Bad Experience With Autologic by dicksonadams(m): 7:05am On May 07, 2020
Hmmmm... Well autologic is good though, especially at diagnosing the car fault, but he will give the actual repair job to kazeem around to fix my personal experiences on 3 occasions.

His prices are usually high because you are not just paying him, you pay the kazeem and owner of the garage he uses as well all these are factored in. It just simply business at this point so no vex.

But he is good never had a problem afterward with my repairs

I am sure he will sort this out maturely with you

I am with you on this,that stuff about driving your car in your dreams. A car I paid for since early February,I never still see am, you can imagine the anxiety.but finally the container was discharged 20th of April according to the ship's tracking site.Now na clearing wahala.am still waiting and hopeful. But in terms of communication,I would give it to him.once your message drops,he replies,and no matter how silly the enquiry,he still responds.he is quite matured and level headed.he never ignores any enquiry. But Las Las na my matrix I still dey wait for.on second thought I come dey reason say I for even add money buy the car in Nigeria here,to avoid all this anxiety and long wait.
Like how much will you have added... If more than 100k then it worth... Provided nothing to fix. Kudos amdman
