How do you know that?

I know all right. look it up

EstateVerify:
With a budget of 4.5 million, you are not prestigious, and shouldn't be concerned about prestige. It is your life though, stop living for what people will say or think..

Whatever you buy, don't buy a Nigerian used vehicle.

I know you came here to make us tell you to buy the Rav4. You are looking for validation, just like your prestige assertions. It is your life, and you will bear the brunts, sadly, you go still come worry us how your car is stopping at your inlaws gate.


Lastly, do not buy a vehicle without inspection. There is the assumption that Belgium vehicles don't have problems. You are only buying abroad problems. Make sure they are not major.


If all the budget for car is 4.5 million.

Get a vehicle for 4 million, use 500k for general repairs.

So many use their last card to buy cars, forgetting they need to fix the suspension, change tyres, change the fluids, register the vehicle, get insurance. They are suddenly faced with reality and return broke.


BTW, congratulations. Hope you've tied more investments to what's made you raise 4.5m.... Invest in your business. I Don try.

Compliments of the season.

Thank you kind sir. Appreciate your comment.

Listen carefully...

If youre above 5.8ft in height, and drive for over an hour to work,...then avoid rav4 or corolla, because of leg room and comfort.

And getting any of the two(Nigerian used) with 4.5m budget is not a smart move.....

Focus on Camry...get a good one(tokunbo), put it in great shape...and thank me later. any model from 2008 is fine, forget this your aesthetics talk...I have 013 Highlander currently, and its not more valuablethan my 09 Camry which by far gives betterbbalance on the road, smooth driving, ease of maintenance and second hand value.

Buy Tokunbo, not Nigerian used, thennuse 17 rim or 16 with a high tyre...then yiure good..

This is my advice based on the ones i've used personally, not stories i read online.

Good bye.

Thank you sir

Privatepart00:
Acura MDX either 2009 or 2010 model .
Acura RDX either 2009 or 2010 model.
This matches what you looking for.

Someone buying sedan in this country will regret later
Remind me of my friend who said is either Lexus ES330 or nothing.
He can’t drive the car in peace now.
He doesn’t want to raise suspension or change tires either
Ordinary to pass speed bump is war .

Thanks bro for your advice. can I ask what maintenance of the Acura is like?

Dramadiddy:
pls don’t take this advice OP

of course not. I've remonstrated with him earlier and expressed my reservations at his bad behavior.

danhans:
Good day with my little experience about cars I will advice you to buy a 4cylinder car,possibly a Toyota Corolla or Toyota Highlander Belgium.
As a beginner Nigerian use should be a no go area because you have no experience about cars and you might fall prey to monsters
As a beginner forget about prestige also because when the car start developing fault prestige won't be there anymore
My little advice enjoy your day

Thanks so kindly sir

MansoryMX:
Do your research and look for a reputable car dealer who deals in cars. Get yourself a clean few months used 2012 Toyota camry sport version and thank me later. Don't go for any lexus, benz or BMW else you will regret your life. As for the Rav4, the only model I can advise you to buy that can suits a your lad is 2014 model upwards and you don't have the money. Lastly if you can top up the money to 5m then I will gladly advice you to go for Toyota venza V4 engine. It's way better than the camry but both cars are fuel economical, cheap maintenance and not one single fault to worry about. I have both cars. Although my Venza is v6 but the v4 of is even preferable than v6.

Run away from Benz and Lexus. Both will send you to your village bro.

Thank you so much bro. sound advice

XOGBADO:
Exactly my thoughts. How can one talk about all those qualities without considering the Highlander

Which of the years of Highlander are you recommending?

Princeton92:
From your options go for Toyota Camry 2012

But outside that I'd recommend Toyota Corolla 2014/2015.

You're welcome!!!

Thanks Princeton92. Appreciate your comment.

IslamIsIdiotic:
I'm surprised you're not considering a Highlander.

I am but the general consensus on here seems to be a Camry.

ibkayee:
Toyotas aren't known for prestige or aesthetics, they're known for being economical and reliable with low maintenance, so at least you get 2/4 requirements ticked

I'd go with the Camry

Thanks ibkayee. you are a gem.

Nwadu:
Are you married

yes I am

He expressed his opinion. Why you come dey para like Christmas goat. Do you know the danger being gay? Most of them are HIV carriers.

no mind the mofo..untop yeye book wey e d sell..

gaby:
But you'd love to live in countries governed by gays and where they are respected?

I wished you could hate corruption, ritual killings, kidnapping, and every other vice including "hate" itself. Perhaps, just perhaps, all the evils troubling Nigeria would have all been dead by now through you.

Exactly the same way Boko Haram, ISIS, al-Qaeda, and all evil fanatics would see you, hate you, and be begging to cut off your infidel head for being who you are.

Shebi this logic clear for your eye now.

What happened to live and let live.

So long as person no force me to bring my nyansh come or force himself on me, wet in concern me with anything wey you want do with your gbola or butthole...


I'm wired for the luscious body of the opposite gender but heck no, do I hate them wired differently than I am.

Who be me to judge fellow human like me?

People who cannot love even themselves not to talk of people of like gender and same sexual preference will be hiding under the herd mentality of gay being evil to showcase and advertise their hate-filled souls.

Una dey enjoy iPhones, and the designers wears and perfumes...go check the sexual orientation of the minds behind most of your favorite gadgets and clothing's.
Rubbish and hypocrites..

just because you think say you don travel , you Don wise pass us abi? we go just no but your book like this.. wetin you d feel like?

And thank God I have moved from locally fabricated oven to imported electric oven

How much did this cost you sir and is this full bag or half bag oven?

What's wrong with the message. I don't see where sex is implied?

Wisdom2003:
1 You need to examine if you are buying the car for yourself or to please your friends.

2. You must understand that you worked for the money, hence you can comfort yourself a bit.

3. Your first car should be a direct Tokunbo.

4. You can start with Camry 09-11or the Highlander because it’s a sin for you to turn Kazeem’sshop to your office.

Thank you very much sir for your advice. I appreciate you.

cmoney22222:
Seems you love the Toyota.

If I were me I buy the Toyota Camry 2018 or Honda Accord 2017 sport.

Op check this cars out

The price will be way above my budget?

buygala:
Dont expect anything from me Sir


Only God never fails

Alright.

naturalwaves:
Where do you stay?

Lagos.

buygala:
Your confusion is confusing me sef.. You seem not to have made up your mind on what kind of car you want..

Pending when you get your thoughts together, buy Nigerian used Nissan Murano make sufferness clear your head small.

Or you can make up your mind and get a good specimen of any of the cars you have mentioned..They are all good vehicles in their own individual rights.. Gbogbo confusion yi ko necestri.

buygala I dey disappointed in your comment. Me and you don tey for this forum and I respect you a lot. I no expect this kind comment from you at all.

naturalwaves:
First and foremost, you need to erase the notion that a certain kind of car is meant for a woman and another kind is meant for a man. The vehicle you drive is none of anyone's business. What you should be concerned about is functionality.

For me, I do not like SUV and I like the ES350 Lexus sedan cos of the centre of gravity things but if you drive in Lagos, your best bet is an SUV. It is more sensible to get something that's around 8 inches off the ground because of clearance advantage and to save yourself all the mechanic visits and all.

For me also, any vehicle below 2010 manufacture year is a NO No No. This is 2022/2023. Imagine buying a vehicle that was manufactured 15 years plus ago. If you like highlander , why not get one that is a bit more recent.

I do not think the RAV 4 is a bad buy. You can customize it to look aggressive. I have a colleague that drives one. Easy to maintain but everything is plastic . If you're not too concerned about aesthetics, you may get it.


Also, being your first car, I think your focus should be functionality for now then when you want to buy another vehicle , you may consider aesthetics and all.

Thank you for your comment. But if you were me and considering the budget which car would you go for?

I enjoin all forum members to actively contribute
my budget is 4.5M
the choices I am looking at are these :

1. Toyota Rav 4, (2011) Nigerian used. A friend is actually convinced this is the car I should buy as it fits nicely in terms of prestige and functionality. However, I'm not fully convinced as per buying a Nigerian used car and also because I'm not really taken to the RAV4 as I see it as not a masculine car.

2. Toyota Camry 2011 or 2012 (muscle) : I like this car and if it falls within my budget I'd happily buy it. The only negative here is I've been wanting an SUV to be my first car considering Lagos roads etc so I'm not totally sold on the idea of getting this car.

3. Toyota Highlander full option (2007) Direct Belgium or Nigerian used: Now this is the car I I'm most taken to. However, Friends are of the opinion that it is an old car (being 2007) and is gradually being phased out. Also the fact the car does not exactly convey much in terms of prestige etc.

So that's it. I'd appreciate if forum members advice correctly on any of these three car models or recommend something else. Kindly highlight the merits/demerits of buying the foreign used or Nigerian used version of any car you'd recommend.

The attributes I'm looking out for are Functionality, ease of Maintenance, prestige/aesthetics of the car.

I appreciate you all.

LOL. Lies from the pit of hell. That route is not economically viable hence the need to stop it. How many people in Benue can afford to pay 100k for ticket. The flight will not be full and it'll be a loss to the Airline

you guys sound very funny. what is 100 k to the average middle class person in Nigeria today. Benue has a large middle class population who are largely civil servants or farmers. Lots of farmers make a lot of money from Farming in Benue.

Cognitivereason:
Benue people dey fly?

you must be very stupid.

Jakumo:
There are NO bike lanes in ANY Nigerian town or city.

Lagos is NOT Amsterdam where bike lanes make it easy to cover the entire city on a bicycle.

Lagos is a place where motorists run over pedestrians and bicycle riders purely for sport.

If you ride a bicycle in Lagos, you WILL see someone get run over, or get run over yourself. It is only a matter of time.

I have never understood the obsession for Cycling in a place like Lagos with it's very busy traffic and generally bad drivers. If anyone feels compelled to exercise, do so in a gym for Pete's sake. Cycling is a risky sport in Lagos. Some would say the man willingly choose his death.
