Hello house, I am about to get a tokumbo 2004 Honda civic for bolt use in Lagos. I would like to know how reliable it is and whether it normally have ball joint pullouts like the accord. Thanks

It comes in highly recommended, cheap to maintain and conservative on fuel.

I haven't run Uber gigs before and so I can't give more information. I just think the body ages too quickly from examples I see on the road.

This Honda civic is a nice car for e hailing services. Its even more fuel economical than the almighty Corrola. Its reliable too. Go for it bro. It was the car I was considering for the same reason a while back. But, I got my eyes on Peugeot307 now.

Update us when you enter the business FAM. Bless up.

With good alloy, I don't think the civic is ugly o. . But, the reasons I got eyes on the 307 are :
1. A manual 4 cylinder will always be more fuel economical than an automatic one.
2. The 307 spots a 1.6litre engine. (There is another engine variant tho) So, again, better fuel economy.
3. I love the way the 307 responded and made me feel when I first drove it.
4. It will give me more respect (personality wise) than the civic.
5. The civic looks girly somehow. Might be my eyes sha.
6. The damn loyal die!
7. Etc...

The automatic is also good, but, I have not driven one. If you plan to use it for ehailing, get the manual. Its more reliable and rugged.

have you seen the 407? I really dislike the 206 for it smallness. If you see the 407 to buy would you consider it?

I have never driven the 407. But, from what i have gathered, I believe the 307 is more rugged/reliable than it is. I might be wrong.

umm. But the 407 is bigger and longer. Although I like the 307. I have an offer of the 407 SW. The location is too far for inspection. That what's holding me.

Outside the Less fuel consumption which the 307 has the 407 has more power and more passager space.

Bigger and longer. Yes.
Get a Peugeot mechanic to follow you for inspection when you finally see one that is close by.

I still prefer the shape of the 307 tho.

getting a Peugeot mechanic in another state is hard oh. And getting a Peugeot in my current state is too pricey and not much. I might end up getting this one. But getting a mechanic I don't think it's easy oh

The only places Peugeots and their mechanics abound is Kaduna and abuja, if my research is correct. When I'm going to get mine, I'll simply find a reputable dealer/person who has a long history of honesty, then, he will handle the inspection over there and send to my place. It will be easier to get a sound one in places where they abound. You get?

Where is your location tho?

I think I will leave the car because I detect lie from him.

First I ask him if he own the car or he is selling for someone he said he own the car. But when I check his account I saw a number of car ads listing he posted. Red flag then When I ask about the AC he need it need gas. But when I check the engine compartment the condenser is missing. It seems both the condenser and the pipes where uprooted.

Also he claim it's tokunbo engine and gear that's inside. When I ask when was that he said last year. He claim the car can go anywhere. I checked on the plate number but it said not assigned to any car.

Not convinced enough to travel as I don't have anyone to help me inspect it.

Nigerians only sell their bad cars. Except on a rare condition that is distress sale.
