I totally disagree.

I'm not in for long notes. So, you might not like my approach.

The question is an actual yes or no question.

Buy a rusted car with a good engine, let's see if it won't fall apart someday, very soon.

Buy an accidented car with a good engine, let's see how safe you are driving it.

Buy a rough and rickety looking car with a good engine, and see how proud you'd be driving.

Buy a stinkingly rough car with a good engine, and let's see how your health and sanity fairs.

Buy a car with most features gone but has a good engine and let's see a how proud you'd be to show it off.

There are numbers of unwritten laws/perspections on the street of car ownership; one of which is 'buy a new engine and you car is as good as new, but not for a rickety looking car.

Circa 2020 replacement engines for popular brands in Nigeria were dirt cheap.

Year 2020 I bought a 07 accord engine for 85k from ladipo while in Ado Ekiti, mind you baranda(commission) dey inside the 85k.

If you work/replace engine, your car will mostly likely start to drive like new. If you work on a car body, the structural integrity is compromised, your safety ain't assured anymore.

The body is the most important thing to consider purchasing a car...!

Fantabulous.

As a general rule, I think both are important. However, the answer may depend on the apraoch to the question. Let's say Mr. A wants to buy a car, and he happens to be more concerned with the aesthetics than anything else, then, if given the option, he may likely consider the body of the car more important than the engine. Or let's say the Mr. B has a budget he wants to spend on buying a car, confronted with the question of which is more important, he may simply do a mathematical calculation that for instance will consider in between the body and the engine of a car in question, which one will he likely spend less in order maintain in the long or short run as the case may be. Which one will he likely for example, spend less on in order to repair if in the particular instance he has to choose between a bad/fairly good/excellent, etc of the body or the engine of a car in question. What will determine importance here for Mr. B is money/finance.

In the two examples above, the response will have to be a subjective one because the persons involved are goin to give answers relative to their own unique circumstance.

But when the question is viewed from a somewhat objective standpoint, the apraoch in my opinion may have to change. A car is basically meant to convey you from point A to point B. What enable this to become a reality is substancilly (remember I say substancialy), the engine of the car. So in my opinion, if a care can take you from point A to B, it has fulfilled a basic function of what a car should do or what makes it to be ascribed that basic identifier as a motor vehicle.

Other aesthetics encompassed in the body of the car like convinience, beauty or desighn of the car, colour, etc, are substancialy atributes in making the experience of moving from point A to B more pleasurable, convinient, prestigious etc. In the end, a car is a complicated machine with parts (body, engine, etc), that work together to make the car move forward from point A to B and provide pleasures and convenience for the driver while doing so.

In summary therefore, in my opinion, while both are important, from an objective standpoint, the engine is more important than the body. The engine is the heart of a vehicle.

Hope the lecture is not too long. It's a very interesting question though. Makes you realize that sometimes there is no absolute YES or NO answers.

Thanks.

Interesting

Buying a car or vehicle is quite good because it makes mobility easier and life good, but buying a good one is significant. Just as people argue who the real G.O. A. T is between Messi and Ronaldo when watching football matches is how people argue about which is more IMPORTANT between BODY and ENGINE when buying a vehicle.

On this thread, we want the battle to start on which is more important between BODY and ENGINE when buying a vehicle, and a comment will be selected to win N10,000, or its equivalent in USD.

You people should be matured, acting like you don't know what the prices of cars are now saying in the market.

This is XLE and 2011; it is worth the price.

How often do you recommend one to wax his car?
Monthly or every 3 months.

Waxing can be done once every month, while buffing can be done once every 3 months.

It depends on the color, location, age, etc. of the car.

Since May this year.

That is cool. Can you please share the car type and the make of bearing you used?

I was faced with the same issue some time ago
They advised me to put a Japanese bearing instead of a complete Tokunbo hub
But thso-calleded Japanese approach didn't last for three months.

Sorry about that. It depends on the quality of the bearing you put.
