Where is your location? I advise you pay an inspection fee to @gazzuzz if in Lagos to help you find, inspect and verify a good vehicle or @kingrein if your location is Abuja or any other automobile professional you can find at your location.
Check gazzuzz threads, he sells already good certified vehicles.
Good luck.

There are those who believe Mercedes is the best thing after sliced bread.

Na question I ask na
Omooo

I felt the same way, he gave no real advice.

It’s possible he isn’t experienced with such vehicles.

It is well. Maybe someone else will see and give constructive advice on the matter.

He was speaking in parable. His point was that buying a Nigerian used at ridiculous low price can be a disaster and most likely come with lots of issues

Thank you for clarifying the parable part. Well understood.

If the budget was available Then I might as well go for tokumbo direct import. Even Gazzuzz sold one around August asking was 2.4 so it probably sold around 2m-2.4m

What I really wanted to know , if what kind of problems/signs to look out for specific to that 2009 accord.

I currently have a Tacoma and I can freely advice anyone looking for purchase one on the kind of issues one is likely to face.
Re: Let's Discuss USED Vehicles by Leadforteservic: 12:08pm On Dec 07, 2022
Avoid the ones with 2.0 Engine and V6(except it's foreign used installed with VCM MUZZLER), watch out for the catalyst or better still install spacers, check the condition of engine, transmission, electrical, air-conditioning, signs of rust, check the chassis(if accidented and badly affected)and finally before interior and exterior condition.

The new Volkswagen beetle is cute but its far from reliable, 2008 ford edge is averagely reliable but prone to transmission issues(faulty PTU and leaky tranny) 2013 accord is your best bet here, it comes with CVT for the 4 cylinder and the V6 is also good and both are reliable if well maintained.
Your budget can only get you a naija used 013 accord
CrazyCrane:
Good evening all
Thanks for this master piece,
Came across this thread yesterday and I read from page 01- 10.

I’m a huge fan of Ford Edge 2008, modern Beetle VW and also Honda Accord 2013.
Can someone please enlighten me more about the disadvantages of having any of them.

Most ads I do see here on nairaland makes me confused about this particular car Ford Edge 2008 Nigeria used.
Same cars will be on ads for 1.8 - 2.3
The same car someone is still trying to sell for 3.7.

I plan on getting a car for myself and my budget is 3-4m.

Kindly advise
Thanks

Yes I do.
Very strong and practically maintenance free.
The dashboard catches the eye too.
Looks good for its age.
Note, the ground clearance is quite low though.

Replace timing belt, waterpump , with OEM. Don't bother with synthetic oil, avoid front impact with damaged AC pipes and radiator.

Awesome Vehicle , sturdy 3mz Engine , transmission is however very sensitive to abuse. The air-conditioning is manual, so any t dick and Kazeem can reasonably handle it.

Once the body and Interior is fine, and no rust, transmission will set you back ₦450,000, Engine ₦350,000.


Same applicable with es 300 ?

The oil shorting issue is one of the defects of the 08 Camry. Not sure what the solution is.

You have 3 options.
1. Keep using the car that way as it's a design flaw on the engine.
2. Buy a Japan variant of same engine.
3. Rebuild the engine with upgraded parts.
