Oh yes!! In fact, very yes!!! cheesy


I am confident because I know about one clean Toyota Camry currently going for 2.3m..no jokes!

The man just needs the money to add to what he has already to get another car. The said car is not even up to 2 years old. A very good but if you ask me!

As a first time car owner, this is the greatest mistake you will ever make! Even as much as i love honda, the 2008 Honda accord is voted the worst honda accord ever made, it comes with direct from factory problems, thats why the used one is so cheap. I guarantee say no be you go drive the car, na the car go drive you when problem start, if you like to get evil spirit honda go for 2011 or 2012 but your budget no fit carry am.

Guy use your money and buy big daddy or used pontiac vibe and thank me later.

Do you know how much people bought such car under militry regime? Do you know the worth of such car during obasanjo first regime and price of same car in his second regime? Our problem in Nigeria is not Party nor a particular President but our system of governance. In Nigeria, an Item must add money on yearly basis. Untill we have price control, every commodity will continue that way.

Big daddy problems
1. Suspension issues

You see that Suspension issue, na the major wahala for the car, you go dey repair underneath everytime, from low arm to shocks, stabilizer linkage bushings and so on. But na still confort ride sha, premium AC.

U are still ignorant.2024 u still do not know the fuel efficiency is regardless of brand and make of cars rather the engine capacity..I don't know how u lot have the brazneck to talk on car threads when U dont even know the fundamentals of fuel consumption s.This topic was talked a out and xplained on Nairaland as far back as 2007.
Nb my car is a 3ltr Range rover sport.my other family car is a Toyota Sienna and it has a 3.3ltr Engine.So which among them is more fuel efficient

Bro, you're definitely buttressing my point, probably you didn't get the context before replying. The 08-11 accord v6 has a 3.5ltr engine capacity making it a gas guzzler, and I'm definitely speaking from experience.

what's ignorant there when the truth is actually spoken? if an Engine requires 5W30 its folks like you that will pour in 10W40 cos its cheaper and widely available, by the way high horse does not have any bearing in what I was saying, you are just using that phrase for lack of better words to use or say. I stand to be corrected, you lot buy cheap n knock off parts and complain certain brands have problems or that the parts are cheap. This a case of penny wise pound foolish, Buy the original OME part for the real price and enjoy the parts for up to 5 years or buy a knock off cheap part for a fraction and keep going back and forth to the mechanic for 5 years, the choice is yours.it might interest you to know that most people have the money to buy original or OME parts but cos of certain school of thought or ignorant folks, they settle for what everyone goes for. People who cant even pay rent on a studio flat own iPhones that cost 2 million in Nigeria, so speak for yourself mr.

I don't k now why anyone in their right mind will buy a saloon car above 2ltr Engine, if I should buy anything bigger it would be an SUV or MPV end of,as a new car owner I suggest a Golf 1,6 or 1,8 even a polo 1.2 and 1.4. Now that fuel prices has hit the roof.
NB the way you worded your statement was l like Brand of car instead of Engine capacity hence that reply.

Nah! I was talking about the fuel consumption of the car, it nearly drained me till I eventually sold it and got an rx350, and I'm enjoying the fuel consumption just fine.

Lmao! I'll still tell you to get off your high horse, your reality is different from the reality of millions of Nigerians. Before, everyone says Toyota cars are easy to maintain and the parts are cheaper, look at the reality today, the parts are freaking expensive and it's even knock offs too, how many people do you think can afford to buy original oem parts? It's easier and cheaper to maintain a C180 or C200 2004 benz than to maintain a corolla of same year. Realities differ my bro. Be thankful for where you are that's all.

There is no horse here since the pound reached 1770 today. The horse ran away. Anyway, back to topic. The fact I'm trying to stress at is this, i nstead of countless journeys back and fort to mechanic, its better to just buy OEM parts and I swear down people do cos you will end up spending more money buying cheap fakes.If one has anyone that lives abroad best to telle them to help buy OEM parts. and oh yeah stop going to roadside mechanics, Cars are not cheap so be ready to pay to mentain them or give up your car for good.I was buying used tyres for my car until it messed up my supension mudule cos each tyres werer diff sizes,I had to buy 4 brand new 22inch tyres from UK at cost of 200 per one.cost nearly 1300 buying and shipping, so my car tyres now cost nearly N2m, so my guy if you live i n an Earth Road Im not coming to your ends for the fear of 6inches n ails and stuff grin grin grin
