Coolgent:
Thank you.
It is advisable to buy 2016/2017 model cos i preferred its design?

yes if possible 2018 sef, last year of a model design is always the best as errors noticed from predecessors are corrected with extra options added

Coolgent:
Oh my God, what's its problem cos am thinking of buying Sonata 2015-2018 2.4 gdi.
Thanks

The year you are buying doesn't have GDI complaint, other complaint are manageable and can be resolved. It's the 2011 to 14 model years that had engine complaint.

do Abeokuta farmers plant Oil Palm sha, never seen huge hectares of such. The only place i know in Abeokuta is FUNAAB and they process their harvest into oil.

You can try Odeda local gov areas upto Ibadan side, (abeokuta Ibadan Road) through Osiele i used to see palm trees around those sides.

Body parts in Avalon are cheaper than the lexus take this from me, I know it

As per say the guy wan use the car as crane abi? You be my Oga your say is final

kingreign:
I know so bro. The only thing cheaper in the between the ES and Avalon of the above mentioned year model is it’s engine.

The ES330 is a camry Xv30

the Avalon is a Camry Xv40

the difference in fuel economy is negligible on both. Now tell me which camry parts is cheaper the big daddy (02 to 06) or the Muscle (07 to11)?

kingreign:
You’re wrong.
The Avalon is cheaper to run and maintain. It’s also much easier on fuel.

if you believe so

bmarketing:
Please house, which of the two is better for fuel economy and maintenance?
Toyota Avalon 07/08
Lexus Es330 05/06
Which one will cost lesser to run as a daily driver? thanks

ES330 pick the Avalon as i was told parts are cheaper than the ES330

Topkush:
Boss, I don't anything that will give me headache, just drive home- work. So I'm going for toks, Security is a concern as I don't have a secured packing space. The civic should not give oil problems if it is toks right.

No the civic is apt for your needs. If the roads are bad, you can buy a tokunbo 05 or 06 honda CRV EX trim, more ground clearance to beat bad roads and flood. Both should fall between 3m to 3.5m as tokunbo

Topkush:
Boss, please advise. I'm torn between Honda Civic 06, corolla LE 06, Camry 08/09. I budget up to 3M but don't know anything about cars.

Add like 200k to ur budget should get you a 2006 to 2008 tokunbo honda civic which is very good.

Adding 600 to 800k should get you a tokunbo corolla maybe between 05 and 06 model years, they are reliable and good but be weary of robbers and vandals for this one.

For the camry that amount can only get you naija used. The 4cylinder is known to burn oil and majority forsale as naija used are those owners already notice this oil consuming issues. I can only vouch for the V6 if you are comfortable with its fuel economy. If you can add to your budget with 500k maybe a naija used 2010 or 2011 with a better 4cylinder can be gotten.

[b]Question [0.5] + [1] + [1.5] + [2] + [5] + [10] =20

dasanchez1:
1. Toyota Corolla 2010
2. 4-5m

Good vehicle, reliable and fuel economical

I believe 5m plus is the tokunbo price. If not buy a naija used in solid state.

dasanchez1:
what of sedan series , which one is advisable?

Which one have you came across that you like and wish you were the owner.

2. What is your purchasing power (budget for the vehicle)

Believe this at your own peril, CBN, EFCC, ICPC, CPC, NPF are all bunch of ineffective parastaltals.

I was hacked by a bank staff, my funds withdrawn, I contacted all of them via mail, twitter, facebook and none came to my rescue.

I even paid police to help fish out the scammer till today police dey tell me the bank (UBA) hasn't given them the guys details.

If not the fear of God, I want to trace the guy and ensure he doesn't scam another person again but alas dem go say I took laws into my own hands.

UBA is a fraudulent bank, trascact with them at your own detriment.

dasanchez1:
which CUV could you advice a first timer?

Toyota Rav 4
Honda Crv/HRV/Element
Nissan Xtrail/Qashqai/ kicks
Kia Sportage
Hyundai Tucson
Acura RDX
Volvo XC60
Benz GLK

Djreloaded:
reliable? A Cvt transmission is never reliable, and with the callous maintenance culture of Nigerians with a tendency to put wrong oils in those transmissions..

So would you choose a Cvt over an automatic?

You meant fragile?
Dey play.

Yes I will pick CVT if the particular transmission model is okay. If that model only comes with CVT and it's my choice, I will buy it.

Djreloaded:
Abort mission.
Any wrong oil in that engine means death.
Too fragile of an engine.
Abort mission.

CVT engine indeed. Otondo JJC

TrebleChamp:
You seem like an expert in Honda cars, please what is your honest view about CVT engine? I saw a Honda CRV vs Toyota rav4 review on YouTube, and the Oyinbo guys review the cars complained about CVT engine in Honda cars.

There is no CVT engine, what we have is CVT transmission and honda variant are reliable

AchrafHakimi:
Ok thanks.
So 2008 and above are problematic.

You said less issues, the 03 to 07 have less issues than the 08 upwards

puretayo:
Good morning house. Nurey I greet u specially.

I in a fix right now to choose between a 2011 Rav4 4wd and Honda Accord 2014. Both Nigerian used sha.

Nurey abeg I bliv ur validation.

My validation keh, bia nwokem be very very careful

Both vehicles are good in their class. The 4 cylinder accord has a good mpeg, but the 4 cylinder rav4 isn't too bad either.

All engine variant are very solid too. I would tilt towards the rav4 in lagos because raining season comes with flood and bad roads, where sedans and smaller cars shy from entering, I drive my CUV through those roads and I come out strong at the otherside.

But also we get more flood on the island compared to mainland. Parts and technical know how available for both vehicles.

Maintenance cost the rav4 should come cheaper since it debuted in 2007 while the accord debuted in 2013.

AchrafHakimi:
Which ones have less issues?
I've heard so much about Pilot's issues.

2003 to 2007

AchrafHakimi:
Which Pilot model is advisable?

Any model you can afford

dadabashua1:
it's simple na, he grew up all his life hearing how people that has NEVER used Honda in their lives talks about how bad the brand is,yet year in year out makes the list of some of the best car brand on earth,same reason Nigeria remain underdeveloped,we work with the crowd mentality,every one is too lazy in investing time and energy in research to find out the truth and lies about every topic,trust me if you probe am further it will be the CRV leg de commot...lol na today? That CRV is one of the BEST 4 cylinders SUV on the roads,the ONLY thing the Pontiac can have over the CRV is fuel economy,but na insult self comparing it with the vibe,it will be an even comparison with RAV4... but what do I know, Nigerians will NEVER change sad reality. P.S a bad Honda according to Nigerians has hit 1M 34k miles on original engine and transmission...Honda na yeye brand truly e no de gree pack up.

But what is your problem nah, stop selling Honda to people abeg soon when they realise it will be as expensive as toyota.

Abeg honda is bad oooo, ball joint everywhere you go

Carcholce:
The prices I am seeing on Nairaland and Instagram is something else. A car I bought for 7.5m in 2020 is now selling for almost 15m. Is it exchange rate or custom duties or greedy marketers?

Una no dey taya

2020 CBN rate 306 black Market 350 to 360

2023 CBN rate 4xx black market 7xx

Double the rate meaning goods have to more than double too.

streetwise2015:
Good evening bosses..My Toyota Camry 2006 big daddy keeps shorting oil..I use Mobil super 2000 5w-30 which is the recommended oil but I still experience oil shortage after 5 liters I bought recently. I still bought 1 Litre to top it up…just bought the car from America 4 months ago..pls your suggestions would be highly appreciated


Please what is the best oil to use since Mobil goes short everytime before service ?

Guess your engine is 4 cylinder 2azfe which is know for oil burn.

Either you switch to 20w50 engine oil or change to new piston rings and valve stem seals using original parts.

Bizbitz:
Good evening house.

Lexus Is250 or es330 which one will go for fuel economy, maintenance and durability?

Which one will you choose if you intend to keep the car for long let’s say 3 to 5 years.

Thanks

Both aren't fuel efficient nah V6 dey inside dem.

ES330 because family will be added within 3 to 5 years they will be able to sit comfortably at the back

DARLINGTON869:
