lexus Rx 300 @1.9m vs Honda CR-V 2008 . 2.3m

Both Nigerian Used


Please which is is recommended in this morden time ,

Considering maintenance. And appearance.

Am in to construction so likely to be in Rough roads sometimes

Though the lexus is old but still more luxurious than the CRV even with almost 6years difference.

For engine the Rx300 is reliable, rugged and less expensive to replace than the k24 in the CRV.

Both vehicles are available in FWD and AWD but the lexus will do better in offroad due to its size and ground clearance than the CRV.

The CRV is fuel efficient among your choice.

But as a construction worker both may not be too good cause of suspension when it comes to heavy load and too much offroad (rocks, gravel etc)

I did say look at a naija used explorer sport trac, ford everest, mazda B2000 or ford ranger you should get good ones for 2m naija used

The problem of the north American variant are the GDI engines available in 2.0T variant and 2.4 NA variant. The GDI engines over time get deposits of carbon which causes serious issues over time especially in our environment. if you can get the other engine variants especially the MPi variant then you are good to go. Also be riminded the replacement engines cost 1m plus. Other than that, its a good vehicle

Whatever u get her make sure it's a toks a d stay away from Honda. She can't handle Honda headache and women are quiy careless when it comes to car maintenance

funny false comment, which wahala does honda gives that toyota doesnt give x2.

@ op i would have adviced you buy a honda but seems your mind is made on toyota you can buy her a 2010 or 2011 camry 4cylinder i trust it more than the 2008 to 2013 corolla. leave honda for the enlightened ones like US.

Just imagine what was causing the exceptionally high fuel consumption on a 2010 Honda Accord with 4 cylinder engine.

My customer bought this car just before xmas. One full tank for just 100 kilometer use.

Catalyst components removed and all sorts of welding and stuffing done inside the mufflers.

We had to replace the ENTIRE exhaust system.

Have that car inspected properly before you buy.

probably each cylinder was supercharged making the car a quadroppru... english fail me

Still available

Benz are reliable and affordable especially a C class which is like a starter pack of Benz.

We don't know what year C240 you talking about but W202 and w203 benz are reliable and strong W202 96 to 2002 while w203 03 to 07.

What you know about Benz is false though, don't go and pour 8L of oil in your c240 make the engine no go kpafuka, 8L of oil are most engines of 8 to 12cylinders of any maker not only Benz.

Parasitic drain is a small issue with big problem it would have been easier if it started after a new device was fixed to the vehicle but as it is a tokunbo, you need a good technician that can work with a multimeter, he would test each electronic feed to dertermine which still drains battery after engine is off.

How much does he spend on public transport and their inconveniences too?

Abi public transport is free? Okada drop here now is N300... That's 600 mon-fri average that should be 3,000-4,000 weekly on fuel. (If it's strictly point A-B thing) .. not bad for family man

The discomfort that comes with public transport is not worth any money you want to save , especially as rains is starting soon.

I wish I can ride motorcycle

you are also right but no trouble like a car shutting down on you at a godforsaken place at an ungodly hour. Whats more buying a car with all your savings and end up parking it without receiving intended usage. Car parts are very expensive now when i say very expensive i mean parts you buy at one naira b4 are now x3. if bikes are allowed in the ops region he can get a brandnew one and use it to convey his family from time to time, they just have to make extra provision during raining seasons. Atleast
Brandnew daylong and Lifan with hand kick is around 400k, Bajaj hand kick 520k while no kick starter is 480k, TVS is around 450k, Haojue which is the most solid of all is 700k for brandnew and they can last 3years without any major issues popping up

Please what are the pros and cons of getting a Camry '10 model.

Profs in the house kindly respond. @nurey et al

good choice both 4cylinder and the v6

Wisdom2003:
I will also like to state that the purpose for getting any of the above mention ride is to move my goods from point A-B once in a week and also the ground clearance.

Thank you.

Instead of a CRV buy honda Element instead, bigger cargo space more reliable 2.4L K24 and strong transmission which isn't prone to issues 03 to 06. 4WD variant if within reach

valarinz:
Sir, are you in pains sifia pains?

Did a Volvo splash mud on you while you're sweating it out on your bike today?🤣

Accept our condolences✌🏾

Here in france we don't do Voluvo

valarinz:
If Volvo's 3.2l 6cyl NA engine ain't on the list, then it's bogus 👍🏾

Good evening my brothers and sisters. I am a family man with a wife and a daughter and I need a small fairly used car that is easy to maintain. A car that has fuel economy,whose parts are available and affordable in order to ease family mobility as my wife's workplace is quite a distance from the house. Also, the stress of my wife carrying my child to work via buses n keke breaks my heart. Although we are looking at corrola, heard it fits my criteria so well. Pls, I need your advice on that too. My budget is 450k to 500k. GOD bless us all.

First have in mind that to buy a car is easy, to maintain same is the hardest part.

Your initial budget is very small to buy a car that will give minimal issues in Nigeria currently you need around 1m, the lower the buying price of a car the higher the maintenance cost you would incur 90% fact their are some lucky instances cheap good car.

55k monthly salary for a single man can maintain a car but for a family man, too thin financially.

Let's say you got a kia Picanto or Nissan micra those 1.1L fuel efficient engines

4L of oil is around 8k, filter is 2k workmanship 2k that's 12k fueling let's say 40L per month @ 200/L that's 8k total 20k

Can you afford to cough out 20k from ur salary in a month without affecting other basic family needs?

If you are not in lagos you can try a bike, nah wetin I dey push up and down and I get 75km on a liter, I use 10L in 2.5 weeks

What is special about the total MVLV?

2006

Go ladipo market nah or speak to gazzuzz he can source good engine for you at fraction of importing

Pogba12:
HYUNDAI SONATA

Are you saying the engine isn't available here in the whole of Nigeria?

Though if you can afford to, always good to ship if the seller is trustworthy. But those hyundai GDI engines sha am guessing it's a 2011 to 2016 model year

Pogba12:
just saw an engine and want to buy for my car

What vehicle sir?

olaitoro:
Good day all,
What are the pros and cons of getting Toyota RAV4 2003 - 2005 model, especially Nigerian drive.
I am looking at getting one.

and other car gurus your advice is needed

01 to 03 automatic get factory issues though it may have been fixed

04 and 05 was okay.

for me do proper inspection of the vehicle you are about to buy. If the transmission isnt in order then know the specimen you are testing has the brainbox defect that kills transmission.

Advice needed. Moving from Toyota corolla 2009 for Toyota Camry 2010/2011 a good idea.

yes a good idea, but a far perfect idea would be a 2009/2010 ES350

dreamxhaser:
Boss can i get a laptop that can play solid games like GTA 5 for 140k?

If so, which would you recomend boss?

Thanks in advance

I don't know, not into sales but what you should concentrate on

1. Mother board intel core i3,5,7etc

2. The dedicated graphics card with minimum 2gig DDR3 upwards. Then google the ability of the graphics card in question that the laptop falls into your financial range

emmy989:
I get your point bro,To be on the safest side one should go for intel rather Than AMD

And Hdd And Sdd(are For storage aspect,and sdd is more expensive in pc than hdd?

question1 YES

question 2 YES also

lexini:
Good evening Fam

Happy New Year

Is 2013 toyota avensis a reliable car? Does it have any peculiar issues? Are the parts readily available?

Comments are welcome!

Reliable YES
peculiar wahala NO
Parts Availability expensive parts when available.

emmy989:
Hdd,Ssd,And AMD, which one is good to use ?

Hdd is hard disk drive, its a form of memory used for storing digital data by PCs, SSD is solid state drive another form of memory used for storing digital data. SSD is a recent technology so far better than HDD but SSD is very expensive but well worth it if you can afford it.

AMD is the closest rival to intel in terms of PC board but intel moves and sells more than AMD also many seasoned computer techy would advice you buy intel instead of AMD because of past experience with AMD boards in regards to personal computers. AMD branded computers are also always cheaper than their intel counter part and their graphics capability is exceptional.

Nah HEAT dey make us boycott AMD devices then, they can just switch off and never come on back, but now i dont know much about them, i don leave tech go marry agric a long time ago.

processor of the board which determines how powerful your system would be compared to todays requirements in computing. Celeron, pentium, core series then core i series.

;Dnext is the RAM, the more the ram the better and faster a PC can process data given to it.

screen next someone like me uses a 17inch laptop, its heavy carrying around but the screen gives me joy when gaming or watching videos.

maker depends, HP, DELL, Lenovo have parts readily available than other manufacturers in local Nigeria market.

graphics card dedicated or internal, dedicated is better but any PC with it is always expensive except the graphics is outdated. A recent 2gig graphics card is powerful than an outdated 4gigs card. though integrated graphics has improved alot in recent times, reason to buy laptops not older than 5years so one can still enjoy medium gaming.

Battery life

other things are a plus like webcam, wifi and hotspot, bluetooth, card reader, finger print etc.

ollykay619:
@nurey which trim of the 2010/2011 Toyota Camry will you recommend

most luxurious offcourse XLE trim, if money no reach or not available then a LE trim should suffice

tonyxrated:
Pls can you guide me on this business, am interested cuz I will be building a free energy to run it. Thanks

I never said I was in the business though, I don't know much about the business in terms of setting up and running it.

All I know is the freezer they use, they give goods on credit to the hawkers, collect back warm drinks not sold and replace it with cold/frozen ones. All this while record of what is given is been taken.

At the end of close of business the hawkers pay per pack of what they sold, drop the bucket they use to hawk and go home.

Before you can join as a hawker someone must vouch for you before they can allow you to join and you must always stay true to them no matter what.
