Pls sir,did u know the price for the gear fluid nd in space of how many month should i be changing it,because the gear nd engine are tokunbo nd I won’t like to damage it,as this will be my first car I will be buying

Genuine honda DW1 as at 2022 when I asked is 8k per liter, changing interval should be a year if you can afford it. The transmission is very sensitive

ABDamola:
Thank you nurey.
So your professional advice is not to consider it at all?

for me, i wont buy. But its your money hence ur choice

ABDamola:
GDI is written on it

Congratulations

youngfocus:
But there is no ball joint that can use one year as my brother said he will help me install one that can use one year tokunbo
But I Dey fear because I don’t want something that will disgrace me for road ooo

1. 2003 to 2004 acord had a shitty gear that gave way easily, solution is to change fluid regularly if you can afford every year and ensure you buy Genuine Honda DW1 Automatic transmission fluid.

2. ball joint, just ensure you buy correct tokunbo and always inspect the front legs when you hear strange noise.

apart from this 2 major issues, others are minor.

ABDamola:
Thanks for the review

Be weary of the GDI engines for that model year. If the engine is GDI, i advice you buy something else

You get 7m you wan buy corolla with AC when you can toks dyna 2.5ton for 4.5m, enter delta dey load wood at 25k per trip, do it 5 times that's 125k a day. If you can get 3 gig a week no be juju be that

My oga dem, I have this camry 04 I'm using, but of late I've grown tired and I'm thinking of selling it for a used ES300 or 330? Is this a good idea or i should keep the camry for now.

And also what's the thought you guys have about a used Honda crosstour, i love it but seems 2010 is the only used with my budget

The ES is a more upscale camry, better interior, leather seats and more functions than the camry though they share same platform.

If buying crosstour ensure its i4, the only V6 year I can recommend is 2013 to 2015. Avoid 2010 to 12 crosstour V6

Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread. I'm an intending first time car buyer and my budget is a hard 5m.
Don't know how to drive yet sha but I go run am.

My options right now are the
Camry 2012 LE (Nigerian used)
Accord 2011/12 Toks


Speaking to friends I've been advised against getting a Nigerian used Honda that's why I didn't bother putting the 2013 there.

For more context, I work frm home and wouldn't really be putting a lot of miles on so I know the wear and tear would be minimal over time.

Which would you guys recommend? Are my friends being false alarmist for cancelling out a naija used 2013 accord?

Hoping to buy in a few months before costs rises again 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. Thanks all.

2013 upwards accord is a very good buy as long as the unit you are buying as naija used is in good condition.

All vehicles you listed are okay but I would prefer naija used accord 2013 to naija used camry 2012. Better build quality, more refined, good looking

michaelok:
Is this in the order of preference? Thanks for the response

No, anyone you can afford and within your budget all are good

baconline:
Which one be CUV again?

Crossover Utility vehicles

michaelok:

Blabla as usual, from the resident imbe of that una WhatsApp group ... You sha don carry your mumu comot outside .


Long story short, I was expecting you to point out a Volvo v8 car engine that beats the indy..street legal or not, bush legal or not, space legal or not

But no, you go hiding behind the Nissan/Infiniti, Lexus, even had to drag in the innocent Crown Victoria...Stop hiding behind others and measure your Volvo against Honda one on one..


You are talking about the s8 being a good enough v8 executive vehicle... I suppose it's more executive than the Mercedes S class of same year that has 382hp

Or maybe you are also not aware of the 2008 Acura MDX 3.7litre V6 that pulls 300hp..that's 11hp less than your almighty Volvo V8... Or maybe Acura isn't Honda for the purposes for this discussion, or since na SUV, it is unfair to compare it to your "executive sedan"?

And yes, the indy, with all its variations over time was and still is a very capable racecar engine.. At least it hasn't been beaten by anything Volvo yet

K

buygala:
Street legal or not isn't the issue....That takes nothing from the genius behind that engine manufacture...

It's actually a testament to the power of that engine that a common 3.5litre engine was never allowed on the streets

Maybe you can tell us the non-street legal car or even space v8 engine that Volvo built that beat that Indy


Any other questions Sir?

You still mumu sha, the indy is not even good among its peers. Mazda, Benz had 1.3L V8 engines churning out more than what that indy is capable of.

You should rather compare the V8 to its peers in the executive category and that engine is very solid.

The lexus 1UR in the LS series was churning out 322hp as at 2008

The Nissan/infiniti VK45DE was doing 340hp at as 2006 Infiniti Q45

Ford 4.6 modular V8 was giving out 239hp though a very old engine as at 2008 for the crown victoria

Honda never had a V8 sedan sha or a V8 engine in their street legal vehicles.

So if the volvo engine which came about in 2006 is churning out 311hp, it's a plus and very comfortable sef.

Show us a NA V8 less than 4.5L giving out 350hp

V6, i6, y6, w6, m6... it's all the same six cylinders.. A prostitute is still a prostitute even if dem call am escorts, Olosho, runs girl, hooker.. So rest on that.


I wanted to let sleeping dogs lie as I mistook the Volvo 6cyl for the 8cyl which is basically an update to the already shitty enough v6.. .but since you have chosen to keep bleating, I will oblige you..

Volvo has been shortchanging their customers with bogus v8 and v6 engines.. 2008 V6 engine at 235hp and 2008 v8 at 312hp?.. If it was in the 90s or very early 2000s that would be forgivable.. But in 2008?

Yet you have the guts to pen down these epistles for a lame-ass Volvo v8 that pulls a measly 312hp..for comparison, a Toyota Tundra V8 and Toyota Sequoia 5.7litre of same year pulls 381hp.. Any v8 whose hp isn't in the very late 300s or 400s is nothing more than a marketing gimmick..

312hp for a V8 and you Volvo freaks are not ashamed of thyselves?.. That's a measly 42hp more than my old 2003 Accord v6 which pulls 270hp.. And considering that the Volvo s80's curb weight is more than that of the accord, that 42hp might not make much difference against the poor old Honda you all love to hate .. And yes that's me comparing a 2003 Honda Accord with your 2008 Volvo v8 .

And before you say Honda has never produced a V8 engine, go check out the Honda Indy 2006 3.5 litre v8 engine that outputs 670hp..yes..670hp..and no.. It doesn't have a turbocharger... 670hp is more than twice the output of you lot's shitty Volvo V8 ....and no, it wasn't a prototype engine...

And yes. I have driven an s80... Not mine tho, as I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on a Volvo.. . Yes, its interior is well dampened, quiet and all, but it drives heavy, like a tractor.. . Too heavy for a sedan in my opinion....Tell me why e no go heavy when it has that lazy and heavy v8 sitting like undigested eba in its bonnet


6cyl or 8cyl, the Volvo s80 is a waste of space. ..see how it's even looking like an overfed broiler fowl ... No dignity, no panache.. Just 312hp of v8 laziness.... If una like make una cry blood, it's what it is.

Sometimes too much english dey make person kolo, tell us which street legal car the Honda indy was fitted in?

Sultty:
forget about where i created the post. its rather to see if Sienna is better or I'm missing something in the Odyssey

Odyssey is not used for transportation reason I don't know because since time immemorial sienna has always been transporters choice on that category.

If you are buying odyssey don't buy the EX-L and Touring trim with the J35A7 engine with VCM if you want peace of mind buy only LX or EX trim.

Sienna needs no introduction it is always reliable and rugged. Just ensure anyone you are picking of the 2 is properly inspected

Androidking:
Hello Guys.

I checked for RX 300 4 x 4 engine on jiji

And am seeing Engine for sienna, highlander and Rx300 together.

Can these 3 cars use the same Engine.

Or is there a way to know the one suitable for Rx300 only.

I don't want to buy mixup Engine thanks

There are two types of 1MZfe, one with VVti and another without. Your RX comes with 1MZFE with VVTi

The issue is the replacement in market may not have engine cover, the engine cover is also another way to determine which has VVti or not. The black has no VVti, the silver engine cover is the right one

whogoesthere:
Hi guys,

Please what are the pros and cons of Toyota Camry 2010 XLE V6 versus Toyota Camry 2010 XLE I4

I'm seeing them for same price but the I4 has a lower mileage though.

Which should I go for?

Thanks in advance

If good fuel economy is ur priority then go for the i4

If its power and speed you require go for V6

Wise man, where you wan put 110 bags of 50kg rice inside element? Na hiace bus? Even Sienna no fit carry that much.

Rest. Lie small small.

9icetoo:

You are not wise 110bags of 50kg rice is what?

FineUsername:
Thanks Nurey. I guess the engine replacement was done in Nigeria?

NB: I attached a pic in initial post.

Nah yankee you thing say dem they replace engine b4. If engine was replaced definently naija

MarianaTrench:
I drive a Lexus RX 300.

It so happened that the battery started draining overnight for no reason. Eventually the auto electricial discovered that the cause of the problem was the radio and he removed it to fix.

When I eventually drove the car I realised that the speakers, the inner lights and the sun roof have stopped working but the major issue is that after 2 days the vehicle stopped engaging gear.

The car is permanently stuck in neutral "N" now. The gear lever moves but it does not actually engage and the light on the dashboard showing the gear position remains on "N".

Is this problem an electrical fault caused by the work the auto electrician did or is it a mechanical fault?

I have never had this problem before although I changed the front axle about 5 years ago.

Scan the car first but your problem stems from electrical issues, whether it was caused by the electrician we can't determine that but you need to scan the gear and try check all wire connections relating to the gear

How is your rear suspension fairing?

One shock at rear is gone because I used the vehicle to load 5tons of cargo. But in all the suspension are solid

Why you choose to remain with Japanese brand?
From Nissan, to Toyota, now Honda.

Because japanese vehicles are reliable and easy to maintain.

GamingGirl:
Nurey come o abey. Do justice to this question.

Simple nah toyota/lexus is the most bought vehicles in Nigeria so expect that they will also be the most sold vehicles in Nigeria.

The RX is a solid vehicle so owners are selling due to personal reasons.
