So the W202 Mercedes Benz C-klasse is a joke to you?
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:01pm On Sep 17, 2023
Very nice. Share the pictures, please. Might even feature you on the website ahead of the exhibit.
Sleekfingers:
I still have Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupe, my late uncle gave me 15 years ago. Very strong Car. I just parked it. But planning to sell it, in a vintage exhibition in France next year.
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:06pm On Sep 17, 2023
The no.5, Seriously?! 😨. You think the Miata is wack?
Bfly:
1, 5, 9 & 10. Shouldn't be on the list.
that german danfo can replace the toyota van. Corolla 1998 can replace lexus2000. Vboot can replace n10.
No5 is absolutely strange.

Bringing old Vehicles pictures tagging them Vehicles that can last beyond ten years

Actually, this isn't what we you do. We research our cars and every model we include through reputable sources like copilot search, repairpal, and vehicle history.
Kenmatt:
I have gone through.

Bringing old Vehicles pictures tagging them Vehicles that can last beyond ten years isn't.

We adored and cherished them then because those were what were available doesn't really mean they can last eternity.

Most of them are not even on the road now.

I can pin point few of them that gave few of their owners I know serious headache then.

Did you read the link which he mentioned has the full details?
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:17pm On Sep 17, 2023
Oh God. Goosebumps. 🙂. Share that picture.

Even after you stated that you have learnt that people don't read and so gave them 2 options, they still went ahead to prove you right once again by not reading grin I just shook my head, my naija people ehn. Lol.

We've actually written about the indestructible Hilux specifically:

casualobserver:
No1 hilux indestructible.
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:24pm On Sep 17, 2023
Click the link at the bottom of the post for the details.
Princeton92:
OP specific detailing is very important.....

Toyota van: is it Sienna OR Previa FYI that's a Toyota Haice bus
Toyota pickup: is it Hilux,Tacoma OR Tundra
Mercedes Benz 300: is it C300, D300 OR E300 that Benz there is a Coupe

You're welcome 😁
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:25pm On Sep 17, 2023
😁😁 You sound angry.
pharmow:
What kind of dumb list is this that doesn't have old Volkswagen beetle (A car produced in 1930s and 1940s) and still in use till date. Also no Volkswagen vanagon, the popular model vehicle for danfo that goes through unimaginable cruelty in the hands of Danfo drivers and never dies. SMH undecided

He means low ground clearance.
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:32pm On Sep 17, 2023
I disagree. The guy is right about the Hilux. The F150s are great, durable trucks but they wouldn't survive longer than the Hilux in harsher driving conditions.
Bukola94:
Ford Explorer, GMC & Toyota Tacoma are better than Hilux. Strong and reliable and ask those that have used that
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:34pm On Sep 17, 2023
Spot on. Especially with the Tacoma.
casualobserver:
There is a reason why if you go to any desert, in the toughest of conditions, be it Afghanistan or Nigeria or Sahara you will find hilux and not Ford Explorer or GMC. BTW Tacoma is simple the American version of the hilux with coil springs for comfort instead of rear leaf suspension. It is not as tough as the hilux because of this.
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:35pm On Sep 17, 2023
Smh.
Trojan8:
I need to explain to you why visiting his website is for clickbait and views?
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:38pm On Sep 17, 2023
😁😁😁. Hope you know they're relaunching the DeLorean?
Awesome01:
I don't agree with this list, the only car that can last a lifetime is the

1981 DELOREAN DMC-12

The BTTF machine.
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:41pm On Sep 17, 2023
😁😁😁 Old tins, eh?
Tohmey:
Lols. . .
Old tins, are pass away.
The era of this motors are gone.
Only the lexus es300 & 2005 Accord is still trending
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:44pm On Sep 17, 2023
Appreciate 🙏.
MichaelSokoto:
if to say I no see dat Golf 2 there, me & u 4 put leg 4 same trouser...

Good job!
👍
cool
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:46pm On Sep 17, 2023
Hmm. Some of the cars on that list can only actually be obtained via auction these days, and they're not exactly cheap.
windvane:
what I meant by cheap cars is the caption....simple put Cheap cars that can last a life time.....
Re: Drive It Forever And Ever: 10 Cars That Can Last A Lifetime by ibinaboonline(op): 11:53pm On Sep 17, 2023

I totally disagree with the 2005 Honda Accord and to a lesser extent... VW Golf.... these two definitely shouldn't be on the list. Despite the Accord being the latest on the market .... I rarely see that car which tells me it is not durable. The VW Golf... that's a very rare sight. I see 1994 Corolla more often than both of them combined. I994/1998 Corolla should be on the list. 1997 - 2000 Camry .... Pencil Light ... how can that not be on the list? This one should be number 1.... still on the road being manhandled by drivers with little regards for maintenance.

96 and 97 Camry .... still on the road.

How did this shit make front page? No analysis, nothing on why they would last. Just vibes and Insha Allah.
Nairaland is a playground.

I prefer the 1993 Toyota pickup.
Pickups are my own cars.
