We understand that some have used a couple of Toyota, Honda but upgrading is sometimes being bored with the cat after a couple of months and people do that with Toyota a lot if it's not a car that you really liked or fit your personality you will sell it soon buy eat YOU really like.

Those who have never owned other brands might feel strong about the only your of cat they know but those who have tried or driven several might v feel different.

Toyota and Honda have good resale value because they are the only brands the third world know Americans do not consider the third world as as a market that is why you don't see dealerships in Nigeria go to China and see the competition what the numbers really count.Arguing about 13 years old cars does not change the status of our market
OP go test drive your options

Hmmm, this is NOT true. Americans that buy Toyota and Honda aren't fools.

I was opportuned to step inside a 2008 toyota camry HYBRID, and I can tell you the luxury, AC, gadgets, leather seat, audio system, mirror navigation etc will win your heart the first time. it was like I have never entered a camry muscle before.

what am saying in essence is that if toyota wishes to go all out on luxury, then believe it's truely redefined. Avalon will smoke that evil spirit whether it likes it or not. The facelift of that Avalon will bury the evil spirit

The sound system of an ordinary CE CAMRY will wow you I'm not even talking of XLE or SE

I'm taking my schedule treatment, when I'm relaxed I'll counter your proof.

Which kind treatment, get well bro.... All the same, Toyota all the way!

objection sir! can u prove ur theory?

Ignore that guy, he speak as if he really knows Toyota.

pato405:
Bless you my guy. Leave them with their Toyota propaganda. They think the whole world must drive a Toyota. I've told Op that I drive one, I even went as far as dropping my number for him to call me and if possible book an appointment to have a look at it. I have driven it for 2yrs now and still counting without visiting a mechanic. I'm NOT selling it, just to buttress my point if need be. Interior is ok for a car of that price. Fuel consumption is superb. No issues at ALL. Quiet engine, still looks as clean as a fresh toks despite driving it for 2 yrs. The body is rugged and I MUST say I'm really impressed with FORD.

Oh I see, you wanna force your evil dead ford on the innocent man, fulaman come see wickedness at its peak.
I can even drop my number for the OP to come see my 2003 Toyota that is getting to 4 years on February yet still looking like it left factory yesterday

Seem as if someone had heaped a tipper of sand on its track. Hope there would be proper investigation and prosecution of those behind this derailment is made?

i did not drive both cars in the magazines, i drove them on lagos roads, so am talking real life o.

i repeat except its a status/official car or brandnew,pls avoid it.

There's a Gospel music sang by an Igbo person with a lyrics that goes thus,
"Never mind them, never you mind them,
Never mind them, never you mind them"

FRONTPAGE:
Thanks.

Kingreign, the car is in Lagos and its 4 cylinder. What surprise me most is that I jut purchased it as "Tokunbo" less than two weeks ago.

If you've not worked on the car, better call the dealer to take the car and give you a certified working car or fix the car to work with guaranty ASAP.
Hope its not a flooded or lemon car you bought sha?

Y A Toyota Corolla LE won't be a bad Idea. Look for the year within your price range. You need to put maintenance cost, gas consumption and durability into consideration. When are you going to deposit into my account?

The Toyota corolla is a very efficient and reliable car. But bad new, he's not gonna deposit into your account.

patlead:
op, pls and please avoid any ford,except its brandnew or your official car.

btw 2014 and now,i have used both a ford and a camry.

i prefer my experience with the camry.

Another testimony from an owner of both brands. Equation is balanced.
Shullamite, no mind that fowl brained pato abi na potato wey him call himself. Now you know who's your enemy on nairaland.
I think pato was invoked with evil spirits from your village so that he'll caress you with sweet mouth to buy the ford and later fall into perils. Thank God you're now aware of the evil spirits (he's a legion).

@ chucky234, I no want your case because I know you can never find any good in Toyota.

Gods300men:
Its v6 1GR. Mechanic toyed with timing n damaged crankshaft. Was a case of bad fuel. Ignorance. Am in Akwa-ibom

Sorry, but when timing are set wrongly, crankshafts don't go bad, na valves na. (For interference engines). ....

daxlasaint:
DO not,I repeat Do not buy that car... it's sweeet to drive but he'll to maintain. I should. Know. Cos I own one and it's currently. Sitting in the garage like it has. For the last 4 months due to gearbox break down that didn't even give 5 minutes notice bfre happening. Off course the gear box only packed up after hundreds of thousands spent in less than one year fixing issues. That kept creeping up and reoccurring with regularity

Tell him o, abeg tell him o....
No mind that blind brainless dumb he-goat @ pato or pest or whatever he calls himself that's trying to downplay the evil side so that OP will fall into evil financial pit and his enemies will start laughing at him

Gods300men:
Guys I need a 2006 Toyota 4runner engine. A complete engine. Pls reply. Gods300men@yahoo.com. stating price.

You didn't mention what happen to your engine, you didn't mention your location, no info on the type of your engine (v6 or v8)

Dear lexus users, i am having challenge with my gearbox. I recently replaced the gearbox of my Lexus Rx350, 2007 model, but on driving home from the mechanic workshop i realised that the vehicle wasn't moving freely. I tried forcing it to accelerate, but it was moving too slowly. After awhile it stopped moving, so i stepped out to check what was the problem and realised that the gearbox was leaking profusely. The entire ATF (Type IV) was on the ground. I was later informed that the gearbox was bad and would require a replacement. I took it back to the gearbox seller and i was required to add additional money for a replacement. After the replacement the seller insisted that they would prefer their expert to work on it or else they will not be liable for another damage to the gearbox. I agreed and allowed their mechanic to come-around and fix the gearbox. After fixing, we then tried to test the vehicle, i realised that after driving for about 5 minutes, i was having difficulty in accelerating so i sensed that the gearbox was still having a similar problem as earlier. I informed the mechanic and parked the car immediately. We realised that the gearbox was graduallly leaking, the mechanic decided to apply four (4) minutes glue to stop the leakage. Thereafter we tried driving it, but it was still moving slowly. We stopped again and checked, it was still leaking but not that serious, just drops. We checked the gauge and it was ok. So he informed me that the gearbox requires another replacement. The mechanic later left, and i tried taking it home, but it finally stopped moving along the way except for the reverse. I managed to drive home with the reverse in the night. The reverse is perfectly working. But the drives only work when the car engines cools down. That is it works for like 5-7 minutes, then it stops working. I will like to know what is the problem, is it a faulty gearbox or wrong fixing of the gearbox? Thanks.

1. Who use a Toyota ATF Type T-IV on an 350 when the recommended ATF is type WS?
Well, call or send a whatsapp message to Lomomike 07034581213 ASAP. He'll help out.

Pour white paint (notice the shade of high quality white metallic paint used on Toyota Venza and Tacoma Pre-runner) then pour black on the roof.

White man's ass licker, uncle Tom.

op, dont buy a car with ball joint pulling arbitrarily on the road o! ..when it happens, this guys pushing you won't be there to help you. I know you are a young man, and I understand how, sometimes, very arduous and challenging it is, in the present day and economy, to save 1mil to buy a car. It becomes even more frustrating and heart-rending when you buy the wrong car. I was once in this quandry, not knowing what car to purchase with my scarce and limited resource. In as much as a Totyota is good, the prices are hitting the roof! and way beyond the reach of many young men, who need a good car but a struggling to save such extravagant amount.

The question now becomes: What are the close substitutes for a Toyota?
and my answer: F-O-R-D! again and again!

reason for my answer? From my experience using 2 ford cars over the past years....'they have NEVER failed'. Never stopped me on the road. Reliable, dependable, & strong. skikena.

You lack maturity. Taking a matured discussion to become a personal beef,

pato405:
Don't beg him... that goes a long way to show you that he knows NOTHING! empty barrels make the loudest noise! imagine resorting to uncouth words, rather than logical, rational, and in-depth evidence based constructive debate. You want to take advise from this kind of a person?

Well, I got news for you, go and tie a big stone round your leg and take a dive from 3rd mainland bridge.
Even Henry Ford would get ashamed of you the way you're defending ford that even Americans denied. Ode.

Good day petrolheads, I just noticed my car doesn't accelerate well. I tried flooring it on the highway but it would not go beyong 100KM/H and immediately d check engine lights come up. It won't also accelerate and change gear normally beyond 3000Rpm. Some times it suddenly snaps and accelerate beyond 100km/h. What could be d problem?

i have ordered for the engine coil. what else do i do to get the car in perfect condition?

Where is your location?

pato405:
you are evil! why the campaign of calumny against a product you know next to nothing about?

did I read someone up there advising op to go for a volks? op, pls save your money and treck rather than heeding to such advise. I have 3 friends who drive volks (Passat and bora) and a neighbour whose Passat almost gave him hypertension until he sold it for a miserable amount. My other friends nko? their complains weren't different. according to the one who drove a Bora...he said: "Bora was the Germans greatest mistake"...their complains scared me from volks product. the only volks a little bit reliable is the golf...but newer models are fraught with problems...check my posts...I helped a colleague sell one lately here on nairaland, despite her good maintenance habit, the car gave her lots of electrical issues.

the only debate here is that Nigerians are averse to other products outside Toyota and Honda.

You are devil incarnated. How can you prod someone to buy an early year model ford, a ford escape so that he'll be come a scape goat in the hands of the ford escape and won't escape its evil defects?
You evil black man want a fellow guy to buy a car with extensive gearbox and engine, unintended acceleration, airbag and seatbelt palava?

In the whole of Europe, VW has one of the best reliability so no carry your bad mouth go there. How I no sure say na you be the kazeem wey dey pour salt inside the engine and gearbox of your friends and neighbour VW?
You sound evil to be trusted. Infact, OP buy Honda or Toyota. Boring or no boring won't give you night and day mares.
Over 30million Americans and Canadians can't be stupid to choose a Toyota and Honda over a Ford
