When new one is 85k why will someone buy used for 75k?

Akaza:
Hi, pls what would you recommend between an Elantra 2012 and a Civic 2012/13

Also is Accord 09/10 coupe a good choice enough as an alternative to both in terms of saving cost since it's cheaper

I would pick the civic, more popular and better gas mileage. The Elantra isn't bad too, but cost of parts over the civic is high.

The accord coupe is good too not as fuel efficient as the remaining two but still capable. Also coupe arent for family person and they don't have good resale value in Nigeria

Thanks for your response , I just don’t like the CRV it’s too bland especially the interior and the sound system

That's because you never see EX or EX-L trim of the CRV

Hi Auto gurus , this is a great thread

I need an upgrade , tho I sometimes drive on bad roads but I mostly drive on fairly good roads. I am considering the accord 2013 but at the same time I'm worried about ground clearance. Please recommend any good upgrade not more than 6m. Use a Pilot 07 and civic 07 at the moment

If you use the civic to ply the bad roads and it triumph I don't see why the Accord won't do well there also. But you can go for a CRV just to have more ground clearance with a bit of fuel economy

Balistic4:
That is a very difficult decision to make. The transmission shifts very well, in fact, I only escalated this because of the oil leak. Also the transmission is 2m as of today. Isn't that an overkill?

Okay, just ensure the work is done in a clean environment as adviced contact kingreign though I doubt if he will sell you transmission parts he ain't fixing

Balistic4:
Guys, where can I get very good transmission torque converter and transmission oil pump for 2010 es350? I've searched the whole of abuja for it but can't find it. My transmission is throwing up transmission fluid and the gear guy said it's the pump and torque converter that is bad. Please how do I source for a good one? I need it urgently and I'm in abuja currently. My car has been grounded for a week now

Replace complete transmission

Asquare84:
please how can we contact the relevant authority in Nairaland to come and clean this thread.

Open another thread, leave this one for them

Hello

Down payment received

1. Buy volvo 740GL and convert it those 1990s that's what most people on a budget do.

2. Nissan pathfinder, Toyota 4runner first generations too are been converted but they are costlier than your budget.

3. A suzuki truck those korope type can be gotten used for that amount if you search well.

Nigeria getting closer to a failed state just like Haiti

..i did find one that worked, Belgium but died after 3 days. I guess it was for the accord.

O2 sensor and AF sensor for Honda are model specific not even engine specific. If you get one from accord with same engine as yours, bro it won't work cause they are specific. Also OEM sensors won't work with honda even if it was made by bosch or denso

Good luck getting O2 sensor for that inspire, that will be like finding a needle in a haystack. But if you can import, no problems.

Serendipity2023:
I thought a 2.0 engine would be preferred because of fuel consumption?

Just asking sir

Fuel consumption is negligible in both, the 2.0L engine parts are scarce and expensive when available

Dpzeewonder:
I am actually not there but he said the car moves fine after test driving it but it still stalls when depressing the accelerator,also he noticed dark emission which comes out when he depressed the accelerator when the car is parked.

The blue circled part is the MAF sensor and that is where he needs to check, wires clean first and check before replacing the part. I believe you meant black smoke from the exhaust when vehicle is raised? if yes, then it must be unburnt fuel in the chamber maybe caused by less volume of air. Check your air filter too.

Dpzeewonder:
I just changed the throttle sensor this morning,it works fine a bit but the remaining codes are still coming up

you might probably need a good mechanic to work on your vehicle. Online diagnosis can only get you far. After changing the throttle sensor, what is the vehicle behaviour and which codes are still popping up?

Dpzeewonder:
P0100 Mass Air flow sensor circuit
P0115 Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit
P0120 Thrtl POS SEN/Circ
These are the error codes it brought after fixing the Crankshaft position sensor Sir

P0120- clean the throttle body, though I don't know whether yours is drive by cable or drive by wire. But your throttle body has issue.

P0100- you need to check the MAF sensors and your air intake hoses. It's those two issues that can cause your current situation.

If Liverpool lose this one, Arsenal Otilor , but come to think of it, Mancity can still overtake Arsenal

Dpzeewonder:
Mr.Nurey this is the exact issue am having right now with this same model of this car.I just changed my fuel pump yesterday,serviced the car,changed my spark plugs last week,yet the car is still not fine,until the mechanic checked the crankshaft sensor under the engine,unfortunately it broke leaving the main sensor in the engine.It has been removed though and i sent him money to buy another sensor,do you think this is the main fault with this car,he scanned the car after the trial by error then it brought crankshaft sensor but this was after he tried to loosen the sensor and could not at first try,the car won't start after he first tampered with the sensor which made him to tap the sensor by force thinking it will key back,thereby causing the sensor to break.Please help me.

There are two sensors, change them first with a known working unit, you should be fine

No more #500 meat chai, mallam Balla is about to loose a customer ooo.
Be like nah to dey chop rat remain, if meat is expensive rat meat is cheap nah to wash and cook it well remain.

Longneck:
It's a foreign used car what problem can't it possibly give me in the first one year?

You obviously aren't informed. Money pits are only bought when new and still under warranty, no serious individual buys money pits because it is foreign used if you have the funds buy and enjoy, but have in mind it is a money pit, it can breakdown immediately you leave the dealership

Meeraki:
Pls I intend to Honda accord 08 but it’s v6 engine for person use but I also want to use it for ehailing services in Lagos
What do you say guys

just dey play

PandoraObi:
Please I need solution

Manage the car home or to your mechanic garage, first point of call is scanning the vehicle and live data reading will probably let you know what is going on.

tivta:
Thanks. Can a good one be bought at around 2m?

definitely honda arent as expensive as toyota. Also the CRV has a 4wd if you dont want extra maintenance cost, stick to a FWD and buy one with the 2.4L engine not the 2.0L engine

TT20:
Hi guys,

Which of the c class is most reliable among the w203 variants.

c230, c240, c280 or c320 ? , fueling isn't a problem.

Thanks

2005 and 2006 are better and more solid. Also Engines without turbo charger last longer

tivta:
Very educative and informative thread, glad to see we still have mature adults here on nairaland.
Please gurus, what car or vehicle would you advice a first time buyer to go for? He has in mind Crv 03 Nigerian used but afraid of the poor maintenance culture of Nigerians plus he really needs space, fuel economy, easy maintenance and high ground clearance due to poor roads.
Budget is around 2m, will it be enough for a good Crv if not what other suv comes close in size, fuel economy and easy maintenance?
Thanks for your feedback

Crv good choice, engine and transmission solid just inspect and ensure it's not a lemon

Good morning all.My mechanic serviced my Toyota Highlander 2005 transmission system with Oando Dexron II last 3 months.Yesterday I noticed the car start struggling in transmission of the gear then suddenly it stop changing transmission I had to manage it home.What could be wrong?It was yesterday I checked the transmission he used and saw it was Oando Dexron because he usually leave the empty can in the car booth.What should I do please,if the damage has not be done yet.

Check the fluid color if it isn't black and smelling burnt, should be pinkish in color. If not black and smelling you need to drain and refill with toyota type T-IV as that is the recommended transmission fluid for that year, if it still doesn't improve, internal components of the transmission maybe damage also try to get a professional to scan the transmission let's know the codes it throws

Ikawokolaso01:
Guys please advise which car I can get for 2m in Nigeria.

CAR rot
