Did you acquire it as a Nigerian used or tokumbo? If it’s Nigeria used then follow your mechanics suggestion but if it’s tokumbo then use a good oil with the 5w30 weight for it.


OK bro thanks so much. Nigeria used it is

Go for CIVIC

Kokomo:


Go for Civic, and if you want one that is close to corolla ruggedness go for the 2003 to 2005... the only downside is it transmssion, but can be minimise if you use manuafacturer's fluid. The other option is the 2006 to 2011, no major downside, transmsission and engine are ok, just the suspension (control arm bushen, engine mount, shock setup) not as durable as the 2003 to 2005 but can be minismised my driving carefully around rough road, bump and pot hole. It also has more sensors which are inter-connected, unlike corolla , any issue with one sensor can seriously affect your fuel consumption or car performace, so ensure you have a scanner and a passion for doing little research before for you drop the car for the rewire or mechanic otherwise they will mess things up for you. Also find and keep a trusted part seller, luvinghubby is one. Stick with tokunbo parts than new ones.

I use the 2007, and I follow the rules, it iis better than corolla if you do.

Ernesttoby30:


Thank you sir. I'm planning of getting a Nigerian used 07 this week. The seller said he bought it last year for his mom. Still first body etc. But I'm totally new to auto world. Please any advice for me? I no wan shit for body

Kokomo:


Avoid the version made for African and Asian , parts are more expensive they have more issues though I dnt know why , buy the american version, go with an Honda rewire guy, not necessarily mechanic, please scan, check if the emission status are all ready, if not drive the car until the status are ready, at leat the 02 sensor and the catalyst, if the radiator fan is connected directly or no thermostat or water used as coolant , please price the car as though you will replace the engine in 3 month, luckily the engine at 130kish is not as expensive as corolla 320kish. Drive the car on a free way and ensure all the gears shift perfectly, check the bushen and engine mount for cracks. Check power steering for leak. Price accordingly

Ernesttoby30:


A million thanks sir. Please just like i said earlier, I'm totally new to all these auto stuff. Do you know of any experienced rewire guy you can recommend for me? I will pay for his services. Thanks once more

03 Honda accord transmission is prone to failure. The leather upholstery is prone to sagging and plastic trim mouldings around the seat bottom is prone to coming apart.

luvinhubby:


Upholstery sagging is e feature common with every vehicle, none is exempted. Transmission failure applies to all vehicles if not maintained properly

kingreign:

That Honda own dey legendary. The leather also sabi form one kind hard rough surface.
Honda 2003-05 transmission recorded high levels of failures.

Conner44:


Isn’t it majorly in its 6cyl versions that the transmissions were prone to issues? I think the 4 plugs own were stable at the time

True.

Using mine for 10 years and still going strong.

• No Transmission issue.
• No Leather upholstery issue.
• No wheel problem (check quarterly and you're good to go)
