Please I need help.

Budget is 4.5m though but I can slightly add.

Which of the following do I go for?

1. Camry 2010/11 toks xle v4
2. Camry 2013 Naija used xle v4
3. Honda accord 2011/12 v4 ivtec

It's basically to take me to office, move around Abuja and once in a while travel to Kano Kaduna or Edo at least once in a year.

I am also very concerned about the fuel economy, maintenance cost, rugedity, durability and good suspension.

Tokunbo camry 10/11

And what are the reasons?

I am also indecisive between BMW coja and 2011/2012 accord... Not thinking of any Toyota comparison cos have had several experience with too many Toyota cars and they are not balanced and economic as Honda counterparts

Less plasticky than the 12 camry

true it's almost non existent...hardly seen it happen, I'm yet to see one also over here,not even for once, personally from the 08 models I won't say it suffers from the plaque,so long is not something you see often like the EODs.

If you can maintain the BMW. If not, c230 is better.

Both are good. Are you going for v6? Or 4 cylinder?

I fear naija use so I will always go with toks. But some toks are also bad.

The quality of the car matters.

The 4camry will be easier to maintain

If you're not based in Lagos, abort mission.

Even if you're lucky to get a decent mechanic, you will struggle to get parts for the car.

Why not try something different,
Audi A4 2008-2014
Volkswagen passat SE 2012-2019

I currently use the Volkswagen passat SE 2018
It's more fuel efficient than the corolla
It's also for sale, I can Give you for a good deal within your budget
