Benz is the Ultimate German machine, if you see a Benz with a failed ball joint it is most likely due to bad road but it will give you sign, so also is Toyota, your will hear abnormal noise and you may also feel it on your steering. Honda does not give any warning signs, it looks like a design problem or materials of manufacture, the failure rate is quite high.
Honda gives signs of ball joint issue. Abi you driven all cars?

Y1nka:



I planned to pass by but had to respond to this thread.. 500k is half a million naira, and there are PLENTY options in that budget. The only issue will be selecting the RIGHT OPTION.


I’m not a car Guru, but I’ve owned some over the years, and out of maybe love for cars, youthful exuberance or business mind, I’ve driven some, (and experienced 5 as my own).

Here’s my 10 cent.


1- Stick to cars with cheap parts & easy to fix mechanics: common cars that you are running away from are your best bet because sellers have their parts everywhere base on demand. With 500k budget, u don’t want to be requesting for parts from china!!! Do you?

2- please compromise, right now delete your love for a particular style or particular car. You want to buy logically- that is : an affordable practical car, with less issues. Not buy emotionally: that is- the kind of car you like, or you feel it is good!

3- shell out some change for an auto expert, usually a good mechanic. It s your first car, you know almost nothing yet about it, and buying a lemon car is far more easier than reselling it , or worse managing it !

4- know the budget, usually before buying car, TAKE YOUR TIME, know the cars that fit you budget, and choose the one slightly higher than your budget (let’s say 700-750k) then bargain down. You’ll be surprised. Also to know gross worth.. i use jiji to check price (may or may not actually by from there) i just check. Be careful with online markets also (overly priced, trust issues, avoiding buying car theft).


5- cars that may fit your range :


MOST MANUAL cars between 2000-2007. (Sold my hyundai elantra 2009 uber registered for 800- very clean).

Incase auto is your choice, please pick from

-TOYOTA
-GOLF
-HONDA (civic/city only).
-Hyundai (check for ac issues)
-KIA (check for electrical or AC issues).

Cars to avoid,

HONDA (accord series)
Most NISSANS
Ford and other cars.

I hope this is of help.

Good luck buying.
AVOID ACCORD SERIES? UNCLE! ARE U 4 REAL.

Good evening Mr Luvinghubby (Pastor) and other house members

please, I want you to help in elightning me on 'Spark Plug' issues. My car is an Honda Accord 2002 model.

A major issues I have with mechanics who had worked on my car is this spark plug issues. I was told to buy new plugs, NGK for #6,000 and immediately the plugs was put into my car engine, I knew it wasn't strong enough because my car vibration increased unnecessarily after putting on the AC. That plugs lasted just two and half months before misfires started on two cylinders of the engine car.

Now, he said I should get tokunbo plug, I did and now my car started having 'hard starting' issues.

what should I do? should I order plugs online maybe from jumia? I have suffered plugs issues too much from lies mechanics tells me.
NGK should be 500 each. Your mechanic na criminal oh!

Yes o the fuel consumption is superb. I use less than half tank from Bayelsa to Ijebu Ode. The speed and balance is something else.
. A very wonderful car fuel economy and generally. But people no know. Just change ball joints every 3 months. Thats all.

1, go for Toyota Avensis lift back only if you can find one but you can't get it at that price as is durable, fashionable and expensive than pencil or envelope. I have been using it since February 2013 and half tank take me from Bayelsa to Lagos.

2, Honda End of discussion or Discussion continue. Until I started using discussion continue, I never knew it's that fuel economy. you can also go for Honda Bulldog as you can get it lower than the 500k.

3, the the benze as someone suggested c230.
. EOD is also good as regards fuel economy.

Car gurus in the house please kindly help me suggest which car would fit my budget,
I am actually planning to buy my first car as my family is growing big and moving from point A to B is becoming stressful for us, hence I decided to get a very good & sharp Nigerian used car with a budget of 500K max.

I want a car that is very durable, reliable, fuel efficient, cheap and accessible parts, meanwhile I don't want Toyota or Honda as they are too common on Nigerian roads & I also believe they re not the only best car options we can get. Though I am looking at Nissan Almera 2001, Nissan primera 2000 to 2002, VW Golf 3 and Mazda cars from 1999 to 2002 models.

Please kindly help me as I need your car expertise to decide which car to go for ASAP.

Thanking you in advance

Thanking
your budget no reach Honda or Toyota. Forget that your reason!

February 24, 2018 was the day I will never forget . Happened in oshogbo around 6:45a.m. Was journeying back to Kogi with my colleagues, then all of a sudden the driver started screaming Jesus, Jesus, I knee instantly that shit has hit the fan. The front tire(right) bursted and all of a sudden our car started somersaulting like Olympic champion. It's turned thrice and landed on its head. Thankfully I was strapped on a seat belt. I wasn't hurt, not even a scratch.
I had this exact accident along Ondo road from Ore divert. God saves!
