Duration of the rebuilds depends on the engine capacity.
For a 4cylinder, takes 1week, whilst for a V6-V8, takes 1.5weeks.
while an engine replacement will take a day or 2 with less likelihood of error.

I let me weigh my options cry

what are your reasons please?
durability.... Uber or bolt work will stress any car, 5am to 9pm driving, Ac on, Lagos traffic, heat etc, while Honda will cope but with time Toyota will out endure the Honda during this rigorous usage.

part like suspension parts will also need frequent check and replacement

So guys, I need expert insight on this issue.

I am looking at getting a Nigerian used Toyota Camry 2006 for my dad.

After looking around I found this neat and well maintained ride.

I took my mechanic and a friend who knows alot about cars to inspect the car. The two drove the car around and attested that the car drives well and the gear box and engine is good.


The car selects well and it will be a good buy.

I asked for the price and went home.

The next day I made up my mind to go for the car. I called the owner to meet me somewhere. When we met he was telling about how somebody wanted to buy the car that very day but because of something the guy said after inspection, he refused the guy from paying.

I asked him what did the guy say, he told me that the guy’s mechanic adviced him not to buy the car because of the gearbox is about to go bad.

When I prompted him to explain more he continued talking that he noticed that in the morning, whenever he starts the car to move, the car takes some time before it actually moves.

He continued that he called his mechanic and his mechanic told came and checked the car and told him that the fault is not a bad gear box but the gear box oil pump.

That once it’s changed and the gear oil changed also, the issue will disappear.

On hearing this.

I had to retreat, my friend that went with me initially, said I should cancel off the car that the issue is the onset of a faulty gearbox whch will eventually pack up and require me buying a new gearbox.

I called my mechanic and narrated the issue to him, he said it’s a minor problem and repeated exactly what the seller’s mechanic said about the gear box oil pump.

That it can be fixed with 50-60k and the car will stop doing that.

That it’s not something to cancel the car for.

Now, I am left on a cross road who to believe.

Go with my friend who’s saying the mechanic is out to get paid because once I buy the car, he’s sure he’s the one that will fix the issue and it’s likely that the issue will project into other things giving that most mechanics do trial and error.

What do you guys think.

The car is really neat, well maintained and drives well.

And it falls within my budget.

It’s actually the neatest car I have seen since I started my quest to buy this big daddy

I bought it as tokunbo
OK look like yours is an Si or type r or one of the higher civic variants, the only challenge might be parts,but I am hoping it shares parts with accords and normal civics.

Do you know if it is turbored?

Also were you aware the engine wasn't the regular civic be purchase?

I think you are lucky cause the regular civic engine is not as rugged as accord k series engine, civic R18 engine was prone to cracked engine if one get a bad batch

jnrcess:
Hey gents and ladies, I want to get a car (my first) early next year and I know absolutely nothing about cars. My friend has asked me to buy a honda civic because of its low maintenance cost, fuel consumption, and availability of its parts in the market.

I would also like to state that I will partly be using the car for bolt services aside from just moving up and down with it. So please, my bosses is this car a good one?
not a bad car, part are available, though not as rugged as Corolla. but not a bad alternative if you don't have up to Corolla money.

Car TalkRe: Ever Bought A Car You Regret Buying? by dicksonadams(m):
The secret to buying Nigeria used car is to be ready for the worst case scenario, don't trust the seller,

First make sure the car parts are not expensive like engine, transmission..

Second, price the car as though you will replace these key parts

Third, ensure the body parts and wirings are at above 80%

My experience, I bought a Nigeria used civic 07 during the lock down, seller asked for 1.25m that meet the above criteria,

First I did my research on the engine 170k, transmission 90k, suspension overhauling 60k

Body was good, no funny wiring, car needed two tyres, two headlight, perhaps some minor painting, that is all

We settle at 1m

Luckily for two year I used it I didn't have engine or tranny issue, but I was ready for them... And na mobil filling station oil i give am drink steady... Kept a liter in the boot as step up grin
