Boss, please advise. I'm torn between Honda Civic 06, corolla LE 06, Camry 08/09. I budget up to 3M but don't know anything about cars.


nurey:

Good vehicle, reliable and fuel economical

I believe 5m plus is the tokunbo price. If not buy a naija used in solid state.

Add like 200k to ur budget should get you a 2006 to 2008 tokunbo honda civic which is very good.

Adding 600 to 800k should get you a tokunbo corolla maybe between 05 and 06 model years, they are reliable and good but be weary of robbers and vandals for this one.

For the camry that amount can only get you naija used. The 4cylinder is known to burn oil and majority forsale as naija used are those owners already notice this oil consuming issues. I can only vouch for the V6 if you are comfortable with its fuel economy. If you can add to your budget with 500k maybe a naija used 2010 or 2011 with a better 4cylinder can be gotten.

Boss, I don't anything that will give me headache, just drive home- work. So I'm going for toks, Security is a concern as I don't have a secured packing space. The civic should not give oil problems if it is toks right.

No the civic is apt for your needs. If the roads are bad, you can buy a tokunbo 05 or 06 honda CRV EX trim, more ground clearance to beat bad roads and flood. Both should fall between 3m to 3.5m as tokunbo

The ES330 is a camry Xv30

the Avalon is a Camry Xv40

the difference in fuel economy is negligible on both. Now tell me which camry parts is cheaper the big daddy (02 to 06) or the Muscle (07 to11)?

Difference in fuel economy is negligible.
Cost of engine parts is also similar.
For body parts, just insure comprehensively with Leadway or AXA so the cost won't be on you.
If going for the avalon, make sure it's the Limited trim and thank me later
