This a brand new Chinese brands. It's better to buy them new with 5yrs warranty than buying a used toks Toyotas for campaign. This is more cheaper for them and average Chinese brands have good tech and luxury

When the govt aren't pro active. The supposed to block all passengers coming from Dr congo

I don't know why people have nonsense mentality about Toyota, if you buy a Honda V6 touring, or an MDX,you would never even touch lexus again, that 2015 MDX na beast ,the maintenance is just as the same as other cars of the same year. Parts are shared with Honda pilot of. The same year. Underneath is superb. Learn to get a good scanner, any issues put your scammer get the codes, order for the sensors go to YouTube for tutorials. All because if your mechanic wan scam you. U go tell him say oga. Just fix this for me. Bleep second hand value

Boss, I think you've answered the OPs Question, I will never go for a nonsense big for nothing Camry, over a Honda Accord of the same year.

If you want to enjoy the Accord, boss pls go for the V6 of 05/06. It doesn't consume fuel. You would enjoy Honda,

I can tell you for free, when it comes to sedan, Honda beats Toyota hands down.

CertifiedGee:
Sorry my response may be long, but it's based on my own personal experience with both cars as I have used the Camry before and I drive the Accord now.
I am using the 05 Honda Accord (EOD) 2.4l engine which is exactly the same engine 06/07 (D/C) uses and I can tell you that the Honda is way cheaper to maintain than the Camry. Complete engine and gear of the Honda is not even up to 1m (930k and it definitely will go lower if I decide to swap the one I'm removing from the Accord which should be at least 150k to 200k deduction, so do the maths), but the gearbox of the Camry alone is over 1m, engine is also over 1m as well. Fuel efficiency is the same, both the 4 cylinder and V6 of both, then, the Accord has a better performance than the Camry. The Camry 4 cylinder is notorious for oil shortage. Some might say the Camry is stronger, but I do not agree to it 100%. I traveled from Idiroko, agun state to Eleko, Lagos state 3 weeks ago, just as I got to Owode (like 40 minutes into the journey) , I noticed my gear slipping, but I ignored it, drove it like that for over 2 hrs to Eleko, only for me to reach my destination and saw I had not even a single drop of transmission oil again when a friend wanted to go drop his babe and gear wasn't loading again. I left the car alone till the next day to cool down, bought the Honda original ATF, put it and at the first attempt, it engaged without issues till date. I'm not sure the Camry can be that forgiving (later got to discover that ATF was leaking from the shaft and a #3500 seal was what got it fixed).
The only advantage I can really point to is that the Camry has a higher resale value than the Accord, but every other thing, speed, balance, comfort and maintenance, and more driver friendly, the Accord come out top. Do I need to say the Accord has less fake parts than the Camry and it's less of a thief magnet than the Camry. Both the Camry and Accord of that year are notorious for power steering issue, but with less than 90k (brand new) or around 40k (to refix the damaged one), you can fix that of the Honda, and you need around 160k for the Camry if not more.
I know some will always say Honda dey pull leg anyhow and I can tell you for free that it's a very big fat lie because it won't just pull without prior notice of more than a week sef, so once you hear a strange noise, attend to it ASAP, especially when it's coming from the leg area to avoid pulling.
I know some Toyota fan boys will come for me because the won't bother to reach the area I said it's my personal opinion and it's coming from my own PERSONAL experience with both cars.

Why is he still alive, he must not be released o. Make them interrogate him well

They have moved to benue and the cycle continues. God should help us in this country. Make we all go our separate ways na. This killing is too much.

You are a genius.

That Honda CRV would give you joy with the k series engine. Add #500k to make it #5.5M u will see a better one.

RyanAutomotive:
Good day sir,

Congratulations on planning to purchase your first vehicle.

From the options you’ve listed, all three are good vehicles, but the right choice depends on your priorities. As a first-time buyer within a budget of ₦4.5m–₦5m, here’s my professional opinion.

Ryan Automotive Limited Professional Buying Insight

1. Toyota RAV4 – My Top Recommendation

If your budget can get you a clean one, this would be my first choice.

Why?

• Excellent reliability
• Higher ground clearance for Nigerian roads
• Readily available spare parts
• Strong resale value
• Comfortable for both city driving and long-distance trips
• Relatively affordable to maintain when properly cared for

For many first-time buyers, the RAV4 offers a good balance of practicality, comfort, and durability.

2. Honda CR-V – Also an Excellent Choice

The CR-V is another reliable SUV with a comfortable ride and good driving dynamics.

However, compared to the RAV4, some engine and suspension components can be slightly more expensive or less readily available in certain areas.

A well-maintained CR-V is still a very good buy.

3. Toyota Matrix – Best if Fuel Economy Is Your Priority

The Matrix is a practical hatchback known for:

• Good fuel economy
• Lower maintenance costs
• Easy parking in busy cities
• Reliable Toyota drivetrain

If you mostly drive alone or have a small family, it’s an economical option. However, if you want higher seating, more cargo space, and better road presence, the SUVs may suit you better.

Professional Advice

Rather than choosing based on the model alone, focus on the condition of the individual vehicle.

Before making payment, ensure the vehicle undergoes:

• Computerized diagnostic scanning
• Engine health assessment
• Transmission performance check
• Suspension and steering inspection
• Underbody inspection for accident repairs or rust
• VIN verification and confirmation of vehicle history where possible

A well-maintained vehicle is always a better investment than a newer-looking one with hidden mechanical or electrical issues.

Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

Based on your budget and considering this is your first car, I would rank them as follows:
1. Toyota RAV4
2. Honda CR-V
3. Toyota Matrix

That said, I would rather buy a clean, properly maintained CR-V than a neglected RAV4. The condition of the vehicle should always take priority over the badge on the bonnet.

If you’re still searching, Ryan Automotive Limited can also assist with vehicle sourcing, pre-purchase inspections, and professional computerized diagnostics before you commit your money.

Whether you’re within Lagos or travelling from another location, we’d be glad to help you make a confident and informed purchase.

If you soo much like that venza, and u have a good dealer in US , u can pre order u will see a venzer of 014 mileage less than 86000 minor dent for around #14 to 15M.


Go for RX 350 2014. Instead

As an event person and venue manager for many years. I always go against ceiling installations by decorators, cos you don't know the level of the pop installation if it's strong or not. Also sound vibrates so badly. In halls. We always tell DJs to always reduce there sound. But na lie, they would want to k show themselves.

What do you expect when there is no regulatory body anymore,


NNPC is no more, Dangote is ripping us off. Honestly and no one to checkmate this.

When NNPC don embezzle refinary maintenance funds.

What a country

You are part of the bad wagon of this country, we all knew he is a business man benefitting from all corrupt govt. Why does he wants monopoly, same he did in the cement industry.

The same way he was given dollars to build refinary at a ridiculous amount. Can any sane Nigerian benefit from this.

Why was he quick to increase fuel immediately the price goes up at he international market and slow to reduce it when the prices had gone down soo fast. If we are looking for people that destroy this country, I believe dangote is part of the rot.

But all is in God's hand.
He is exploiting Nigerians. From cement to fuel. It's the fact.

buygala:
I am not a fan of Dangote and his business practices, but calling him a thief is you asking for trouble

If Police or DSS hold you now ask you wetin Dangote tif and for you to show proof that he stole that thing, shey you get proof abi you go kuku rest for Kuje prison?

Still not enough, Dangote is a thief, how much was crude when the way started? $70 and fuel was around #770/liters
Same $73 crude we are buying at #1125/liters this dangote guy is just using us to get his Forbes.

No regulatory body in Nigeria. Honestly NNPC is soo useless no functioning refinary

Why won't it be profitable, when Nigerians are paying heavily for this fraud. Fuel prices had dropped overseas. In Nigeria it's still very high. Crude sold for $70 when the Iran war started fuel was #770 now $73 fuel still sells. For #1,205/ liters.

Thief

What are we celebrating? That guy js ripping us off. Fuel shouldn't pass #900 per liters as of today

We are in for a very long thing in this country..

All what poor masses benefits are been hijacked and made difficult for the poor masses to access at cheaper rate.

No sane country prioritize export pass his domestic consumers. Nigeria is the opposite, no regulations and no good policies and monitoring

Baba, I can tell you for free, Lagos state is the worst state in Nigeria. With all the revenue, they can't sustain a good public private, transportation system around the whole Lagos.
Ambode purchased more than 1000 brt AC busses to sustain this transportation gap. In lagos. This retrogress during this sanwo Olu era. Too bad honestly, they now gave area boys power to be controlling transportation in Lagos. Upon all the huge IGR. A smart regulated transport system can be active by privatizing it. And Lagos monitors ..

Just like the train from CMS to mile 2

What effect is the #25 reduction, he wants to recoup his money in a year. Greedy business man. Anything above #600/liters is a rip off.

Kingray10:
Petrol is not supposed to sell above 1050, even with the increase in price of crude.

Useless man. It shows he is ripping us. Because he here of import he quickly reduced the price.

It remains petrol now. Dangote is a thief in disguise.

Why is dangote stoping them from.importing? Monopoly won't pay us.

Congrats to them . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations sir and ma

The telecos were racking us financially before now. With no regulations.

The Muslim Muslim ticket was a disaster, honestly. And our president is sitting down complaining. This is getting out of hands. Kwara, ondo and now Ekiti. And we still want to vote for this king of non challant govt. God help us

Arsenal deserve to win this game tonight. They were rubbed of that penalty. Eze Welldone and others. I'm expecting to see Arsenal vs PSG in the finals

What have they done? As governor and deputy for the past 7 yrs? Compared to Ambode 4 yr rule as governor..

What a pity. Tinubu might loose Lagos again. Cos ambode is loved by 70% lagosians.

But because most lagosians aren't in the Apc inner cycle.. Ambode would loose our in the primaries if there is any.

In a sane clime, Ambode should be on the ballot box as Lagos State governor cos of his performance. But they choose hamzat cos of loyalty. Them sanwoolu for 8 yrs what have he done for 8 yrs?

In this world we are, we should try to avoid sins by all cost. Though not easy. But God would help us.

Let me check something from my neighbor window, next thing na hot water

Na to condemn, Peter what we your tactics and what would you do better if elected as the Nigerian president?

He would start talking rubbish.

What of Epe. No light in Epe for over 2yrs now. Nothing is been done.

Gang of terrorists, the can organize them world cup na
Hezebillah vs boko haram
Hamas vs isis
Iswap vs houtis
Alqueda vs bandits

Awon evil people.
