If it's not Toyota I'm not buying, enough mechanics, enough parts. Avoid v6 and go for 4cylinder unless it's a truck you are buying, then v6 and v8 is OK |

If you are buying it from abroad do vin search before purchase. Before that, do a detail study on issues the make, model, & year you want have. At times, you may need to change your mind after the findings. Regardless of the state, either tokunbo or naija used, do ensure you verify the custom papers so as to be sure that it was brought in through proper channel, so that you won't have your vehicle impounded. If you are getting it here, go with a good mechanic & ensure checklist is observed. I advise people to use a scanner too. The errors generated by it will let you know what you getting into. Pray you get the good one. 1 Like |

Kai! Apc, buhari and Tinubu have wrecked this country! See a young man wanting to buy his first car, and it is what is considered as scrap, 2007-2011 car. This same 4m he has would have gotten him a brand new from factory Honda accord before this locust regime fostered on us by Tinubu came in 8 years ago. Just imagine 4m for a 12-15 year old car! Anyway. OP God is your strength. Hope you get a lovely car. 6 Likes |

PresEmeka: 2008 to 2012 accord is okay and solid. The 2.0L engine should be a avoided parts for it is very expensive and scarse. Buy one with 2.4L i4 the k24z3 is very solid and comes with timing chain. The 3.5L V6 is solid too if you want power and speed the engine should be your choice. LX trim is the most basic Ex has little luxury EX-L is the topmost trim with navigation screen included. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Hollicom:better forget the xle wit awd system |
Re: Buying My First Car, Please Share Your Experience by nurey(m): 6:57pm On Nov 15, 2022 |
Hollicom: Sienna 2004 to 06 comes with 3.3L V6 3mzrd engine while 07 to 10 is fitted with 2grfe 3.5zL by all auto transmission. 3.3 has better fuel economy than 3.5 but 3.3 is timing belt 3.5 is timing chain. 3.3 is steel engine so overheating is tolerated 3.5 is aluminum won't tolerate overheating. The 3.5 is fitted with a rubber hose cooler which degrades overtime and cause oil leak in motion if not detected early can cause damaged engine, solution is to change the rubber hose to metallic one. The term available is CE basic trim LE small luxury XLE rush luxury Touring well loaded Limited well loaded. 2004 to 2010 sienna has an AWD variant best to avoid such cause of cost of replacement parts. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
