Yes, I'm a super super beginner 😁. But our people say whoever questions don't lose their way. 🙂 I've heard what you said. Chai, what Toyota have done to this country ehn. Now we're all forced to take the so-called pure water because they're the only ones with available parts and mechanics understand. Na dis month I go bite the bullet, anyway. Crosstour or MDX. The MDX I saw is very neat and it's the Technology trim. If I get there in person and they show me another car, I'll leave.

sowunmisho:
My Dear Brother, Please I beg You in the name of Jesus, Please buy those/any Pure-water Car you mentioned. E get why.

Now also, secondly, never try to stand out in Nigeria with a Car. There is a reason why You will stand out with the car. It's not everywhere abi, and no one is using it(if You find out why it is so, You will cry afterwards).

Pure water cars are there/so because the parts will hardly fail, You will hardly visit mechanic.

Please I beg You, in summary, any single car that You see as pure water(overly overly common on Nigerian roads), please buy it.

Thank you Sir.
Well done.

(Japanese: Toyota/Honda , maybe Korean, and maybe any other model from another brand that's pure water on the street)

(Apart from His declaration in His write-up, OP is clearly a super super beginner )

This is "Autos' section na. Unless you mean the Car Talk section.

Factcheck0001:
my best advice for u is that go to auto section of nairaland, type different cars on your mind

Hear people's opinion n then go offline, go n meet mechanics wey Sabi work well well interview them n from there u won't make any mistake

You're the first person to mention the Infiniti. I'm a family guy but the first baby is still in the oven.

bluebay:
If you're a Family Guy, Gofor the Acura MXD. But if you single, Buy the Infiniti. It's a realsble machine with cheap parts .

That's what I just found out from this post. I'm glad I asked.

1Alex:
Apart from the Cross tour and the MDX, others na thrash

Thank you. That's why I'm trying to pick your brains concerning the reliability, availability of parts, etc. So far, it seems the Crosstour and MDX are the preferred candidates by far. No one has even mentioned the American brands like Chrysler 200 and Chevrolet Malibu.

Factcheck0001:
bro when u want to get a car u pick many like u have done n narrow it down with some of your personal spec

N also consider some options for easy use
Availability of spare parts
Durability
Reliability
Fuel consumption
Common problems associated with each brand
2nd hand value( if u want to sell n upgrade, is it marketable)
How about availability of specialist(good mechanics)
Among others


Just don't buy based on "I think I like this car" thing, run your check well cos as for me if u give me brand new Murano Jeep na to sell am ooo cos of Wetin I don see,same with EOD

Okay, then. Thanks.

blackbone989:
Just buy croostour n have peace of mind. That's d only car that has no wahala. Mechanic full Nigeria. Parts n market for it is here.

Mods, front page, please.

Thanks for your input. You've driven the MDX? Or rode in one?

oluayebenz:
I will personally prefer Acura MDX, that car is too comfy abeg, then maybe Crosstour

Okay, thanks. Believe it or not, you've actually influenced my decision. Do you think the Crosstour is good at that price (10 million naira)? The one I'm checking out has a claimed 75k miles on the odometer and looks neat.

dangermouse:
Will not advice you to buy any on this list excerpt maybe the crosstour

The test are only good bought brand new.

I understand. But if you were to choose between these nine?

dangermouse:
Parts availability and cost are the factors driving the high demands of those cars being rejected by you.
Availability of Car Mechanics too.

Thank you for your input. This post is part of my research na. Would you say the Acura MDX and Honda Crosstour are more expensive to maintain than the Lexus ES and RX models?

dangermouse:
Thereis a reason the cars being rejectedby are on high demand in Nigeria.

These cars you listed here are very expensive to maintain unlike the the ones you are rejecting.

Do your research well bro!

Please, note all the cars are claimed to be toks, not Nigerian used. All the pictures are for demonstration purposes except the White Infiniti G35 Sport- that's the actual car.

Please help me choose between these nine cars. My focus is a bit of sophistication and reliability. I don't want the Camry and Lexus ES / RX. Those cars are everywhere and I feel the high demand makes them disproportionately expensive.

I prefer something that stands out a bit. Note, I'm a first-time car buyer as well as a first-time driver. I've driven before, but not frequently because the cars weren't mine. So, please help me choose between these nine:

Nobody?

Hi guys,
anyone here or someone you know ever bought a car via Cars45? What was the experience like? Would you recommend it? What's the process? Did you transact directly with the vehicle's owner or through Cars45? Info, please.

Thanks. I've made up my mind. Most importantly, I depend on God's grace.

Bodydiialect57:
I am happy that you turned away from the path of destruction and death the devil had lured you in through fear. Note however that as a true child of God, the devil will still come after you in some more areas that will cause you to trip again except you make up your mind to completely have faith in God and His words.
Never you gamble your life with the devil!

My man, I just thought I should come back here and thank you once again. Yours was the best advice/comment I got from this post last year. And you were absolutely right. The whole thing was psychological. It's amazing how the human mind; soul, body, and spirit are all connected. I had to be at a place psychologically to be able to have sex outside of marriage as a christian. It's a complex situation that I have no doubt you understand, hence, your comment. So, I did succeed at having sex (erection and all) and I've done it a few times between that time and now. I don't even want to think about how much spiritual skin I must have shed to be at a place where I could now talk dirty with a girl, get her to my house, and comfortably have sex with her. You won't understand unless you are a Spirit-filled Christian. I guess I could now say I've achieved my pathetic goals which were to lose my virginity and experience sex, and then the unforeseen goal of establishing my sexual health. It turned out I'm just fine sexually, virile, even. So, now I quit. The Bible was right; 'those who have been born of God do not (make a habit of) sin, because God's seed abides in them,' 1 John 3:9. I just have to go back to God although I may have hurt myself in non-obvious ways than I can I realize right now. But I belong to God, His kingdom is my home, I have nowhere else to go or die. Thank you for your support when I needed it.

Ninejaywon:
You will be fine. Your erection problem is psychological. The first time can be quite embarrassing. You see, that penis has a mind of its own and if it is not ready to "perform" nothing can be done about it.

Fear of committing fornication, performance anxiety,seeing a naked woman live for the first time, stress are all contributing factors.


Next time, you do more of 4play at a very relaxed pace. Try to be very relaxed and don't dive for the hole immediately. Don't watch porns. They are not reality just for entertainment.

Mouth odor is often not about a dirty mouth but lung disease.

Some of the corpses are even standing up o. The man is even running the place with her little boy present. This child has seen many things.

How much is a bag of cement in the US?

Buckeyemedia1:
$10 for a bag of cement?

Do you see that Beast? It's not the Asian-made Toyota, and it's not a German Mercedes. It's a Cadillac; American-made Cadillac. That's how greatness is built; like Soludo opting for home-made IVM over foreign vehicles. Even if Toyota was better than caddy, the US would still choose their own over foreign brands. They trust in themselves. You ask why US presidents use their own security apparatus no matter what part of the world they go? The answer is simple; they believe in theirs more than they do other's.

Meanwhile, Reno Omokiri is saying, "buy now! buy now! buy now!" But even the US is weighing their cryto mining policy after China. Russia too is towing China's path. May be a long time before crypto soars again.

I see. Tinubu is INeC, then.

I wonder what you will name the child. Miracle baby.

Take sleeping pills, please.
