But are part easily available? Expensive?

Parts are available for the 03 to 07

udatso:
Thanks sir for the quick reply. Do you mean any avensis will do ?

Avensis 03 to 07

udatso:
Forgive me for not using the right words but I don't really know much about cars. But that doesn't change the fact that I need help.

What I want is a Toyota Camry that is reliable, has low Maintenance cost, Availability of parts and low fuel consumption.

Where that is not available, is there Corolla with enough spaces between chairs like Camry or close?

My budget is 2.1m but can be slightly increased cc nurey

Go and buy an avensis rather try to avoid a D4D fitted engine and buy direct LHD don't worry about the 2.4L 2azfe those from Europe don't burn oil like the US fitted in camry

nwokechisom:
Hello house,

Please is 2008 Honda Pilot a better vehicle compared to the 2009 Ford Edge?

They fall in my budget range.

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Pilot is an SUV

Edge is a CUV

You will enjoy the pilot well because of technical know how, the engine fitted into it is a popular engine in many honda and Acura. Easier to maintain, cheaper parts than the ford.

For the ford most will advice you pick the 3.5L V6 and boycott the i4. Never used the vehicle before not a vehicle running those engines but I have friends using the vehicle driven the edge before too it is a nice and strong vehicle reason it's popular on our roads

Is 1998 Nissan Pathfinder good and durable SUV?
Cc: nurey, diportivo, kingreign

Buy especially the 3.0L V6 those vehicles don't die easily, go anywhere enter anywhere

CHIMCO:
We have E class Mercedes 2003 for sale.

But fortunately or unfortunately it is a diesel Car.

Prospective Buyers were asking us the benefit Of buying the diesel car.

Please anyone with concrete knowledge of diesel car should please help us with information.

Diesel is not flammable like petrol so chances of diesel powered car catching flames is very low if leak is observed.

Diesel is like oil with high heat resistance meaning your engine would work smoothly and the diesel would act as a secondary lubrication.

Diesel doesn't burn like petrol so you enjoy more distance travel and better fuel economy than petrol.

Diesel engines are rugged because they utilize compression unlike combustion in petrol so they can last twice as long as petrol engines.

The other advantages are torgue which you don't necessarily need.

loveson:
Which would you advice to buy considering maintenance, parts, and driving experience;
2007 Lexus GS 350 or
2008/2009 Lexus GS 350 or
2010 Acura TL or
2011 Toyota Camry

Thank you in advance

Acura TL fits perfectly in your choice considering your factors just ensure to always buy octane booster to bump up the fuel to premium.

The GS ain't bad either but expensive parts.

It isn't fair to pitch the Camry against the competitions Camry is an ordinary ride where those ones are. But buy the Camry if you prefer ordinary stress free driving offcourse watch your back for robbers and vandals.

Quitam:
Good day my ogas,
Please help recommend for me my first ride. Honda Civic 2009 or Honda Accord 2009.

I'm looking for a car with good fuel economy, reliability and good interior.

My budget is 2 million.

Thanks sirs

Accord is superior to civic.

Civic for fuel economy cheaper maintenance

Accord for prestige and Appeal

Carstuff:
Hello house. Which of these 2 cars should i go for:

2005 Nissan Almera 1.8L Engine Auto
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8L Engine Auto

Considering durability, availability of parts and easy/pocket friendly maintenance. The car will be used by a woman.

Other gurus here

Both cars seat on the same platform meaning everything you see about the cars is interchangeable to the tiniest part, the only difference is the body design.

The Almera is an european market car while the Sentra is sold only in United States (North America).

The Almera is a far superior vehicle than the Sentra interms of offering, some came factory fitted with navigation screen, rear view camera, information display screen for mpg, warning display and a host of other things on the 5 or 7inch screen.

As beautiful as the Almera is, after probably 2 years of experiencing Nigerian pothole filled roads and dragging with okada it is going to deform the body isn't strong to withstand the stress.

The Sentra on the other hand will take all the stress and keep it's shape as long as you want.

The other strong Almera is the Almera Tino but watch out for the CVT fitted ones.

Also Almera comes in RHD and some few LHD. but Sentra comes as LHD

semochendo1:
Let me see what you have...

I have a toyota Cowrolla aka reliable moo-moo

450k

Specs
First body kpomo and half metal

Natural undiluted AC

1 hump power and 4 leg drive

Fuel economy city 1 feet of grass per 100km
Highway one plot of grass per 100km

naijadrivablog:
Thanks nurey but someone said the "Asian spec" has tranny issues.

I also read elsewhere that they are mostly converted from LHD to RHD, hence can not be better than the US spec.

You are not listening to what I am saying, look at all the 8 gen civic in Nigeria and tell me which one you see most on the road. The Asian/international market civic is solid I have not heard of transmission issues except it is owner induced due to very poor maintenance.

I don't understand the conversion you are talking about, the Asian you see, 90+% were bought brand-new not used abroad and imported to Nigeria, it is tear nylon in Nigeria so expect that those unit are LHD by default.

We don't import much from Asia and australia where the Asian/international come from so it's possible a few numbers came in as tokunbo, very limited number (not including the CSX because it is easily distinguished from the civic) it's possible those came in as RHD.

But in general, civic whether Asian, NA or european of the eight generation doesn't have gear issues what's more JDM cars are far better than NA so why will I leave the Asian market vehicle for a NA own.

naijadrivablog:
European Spec

The first pix is the north american honda civic (available in Nigeria as tokunbo unit)

The second pix is not european but asian and international market. It is also the Acura CSX in canada ( those in naija were bought brand-new except for the Acura CSX)

The pix kingreign posted is the European market variant also known as the sportier honda Civic (mostly used by sahara coy for it's workers in Nigeria, the rest are imported but it is scarce to come by)

All the vehicles share same parts in engine and transmission, I don't believe it has anything different especially the NA and the international version nah only body shape different. I have not studied the european civic it may have some difference especially engine.

Dbass2020:
Gurus in the house please I need advice on 2007-2012 Lexus GS350.
*Is it reliable?
*Maintenance cost
*Is it a good buy?
*What are the common problems?
* compare it with ES350(2007-2012)

ES350 cheaper to maintain.

GS350 parts expensive,. reliable to a degree non the less

Hollawayn05:
Kindly give details on which is better in term of ruggedity, fuel consumption and durability

Almera Tino is preferred, luxury too, the Tino tops the zafira and the parts are readily available.

Just ensure you buy crankshaft and camshaft sensor extra incase of unprecedented failure. Also Tino is a uk vehicle most are RHD converted vehicle so look well before you leap

tyup:
You go still give the car out as Giveaway las las

It's a nasty word to say to a fellow human being. If you can't afford the car or you don't like the vehicle move on.

lakefist:
I wan ask in question sef.


Please what type of ATF Ilis recommended for highlander 2002 model?

Toyota type T-IV as said

Ajakaiye83:
I have done the alignment but the fuel consumes has not changed.

I also noticed the RPM keep dropping after 2/3days and have to visit mechanic to raise it.

When I move at high speed on a highway, I feel the car hesitate during gear exchange like something is strangling it making it Jack a little.

I learnt from the old user that the engine was just replaced 4 months ago.

Just worried.

Buy a scanner, scan the vehicle first note down the codes, clear all codes and drive vehicle till check engine light comes on then rescan and post the codes generated here so we diagnose your issues

Just incase

Ajakaiye83:
Exactly what I did

Is it a 6cylinder engine?

Is your check engine light on.

What is the cheapest chest freezer I can get. Any make you have and the available litre please I don't need anything big, it's for a.single guy. Thanks in advance

Ajakaiye83:
Just got a registered highlander 2001.

The fuel consumption within the city is huge particularly with AC on.

39miles with 4k fuel. The engine was just replaced.

I need help pls
I stay around Gbagada

Your highlander doesn't have an mpg meter, you only assumed with the figures you have. Buy full tank, reset the trip meter and drive vehicle to atleast till you reach half tank.
Let's work with the half tank trip to measure your mpg better than 4k fuel theory

2003 sienna, the dashboard says it all

Yes if it's engine you wanna buy, no because mileage is not synonymous to been in good shape

mjksho:
I own a Dodge caliber with a CVT from Jatco(Nissan). It is the most horrible car I've ever owned. Car is great but the CVT was basically designed to fail. Drive for anything over 2hrs at an average of 70 miles per hr and the transmission will overheat. You will have to park for 10mins so it doesn't enter safe mode. Changed CVT fluid every 10k miles and the problem still doesn't go away. Stupid design. Biggest money pit for me this year.

You should have dodge the caliber

olokpa11:
P0500

With the code, you should experience malfunction in odometer and hesitation in a certain tachometer range if the speed sensors are bad. Most complaint has nothing to do with transmission hesitation.

Start by cleaning both sensors and re-fix if symptoms persist consult a reputable car doctor

Just incase

olokpa11:
Hello pls I need a response to this

Work with fixing the speed sensor but jerk depends on what type, jerk can be associated with fuel supply, hesitation in acceleration or gear issues. But physical inspection can help pinpoint.

But what speed sensor error?
