Hello nairalander, 2 years ago, I asked you guys advice concerning my house project. I’m really grateful , I’ve been able to roof the house and take it to 80% completion, for now I want to stop working on the project for reasons best known to me.

I’m now living alone and I’ve been able to build my business for two years now, it’s on auto pilot 🚀 now.
I’m 27.. I need a car!

I’m hoping to buy it between now and by April next year latest…( crypto bull run 😃😃)
I used to sell cars and lands through referal years ago though but I have zero car knowledge.

As a first time car owner which of these cars will you recommend for me.

1. Lexus rx 350 2010-12
2. Camry 2013
3. Camry 2015
4. Lexus es 350 2010

I noticed the Camry 2013 and 2015 have same interior.

My budget will be 20m maximum ..

Pls your advice should be about these cars alone and alone , not other brands or types, not other topics .
Road to my house is good.
I’ll only be taking it to my shop and gym , both places are not far to my house atall.
Pls I need the car o, I don’t want investment advice abeg,
.
I have never owned or driven a car before.
I’ll learn it next month hopefully ..

Go for Corolla if you are into Toyota
You can also consider Hyundai products

Go for a camry 2013 XLE. It's easier to handle and maintain.

Next will be the Rx350

Prioritize your need first.
Do you want a luxury car or a conventional car?
Re: As A First Time Car Owner Which Of These Cars Will You Recommend? by tuoyoojo(m):
I would have opted for a corolla as a first time car owner but since camry is currently on your list. I think its an excellent choice

If u can go for a tok, that would be better with ur budget u would be more than able to get that. The shocks can take a beating

For camry go for the xle i4 2.5l engine. It's the full option ( leather upholstery, heated seats and what have you) for camry with fuel economy of the LE models

I would advise you to do ur regular oil change every 5,000km or every 3 months which ever one comes first

Learn to understand how ur car drives, listen for any abnormal sounds,check ur oil levels, your water level, tire pressure and other things and I can almost guarantee anytime you start the car, you would be good to go

Try not to buy a car that is more than 6 years old.
You can shop for a car directly from auction export by yourself and cut off some of the cost and thereby get a good car of your choice for the same amount of money.
How do one go about this?

God bless your hustle bro..

I will recommend a Camry 4 cylinder..year to your preference.. though I will recommend 2012 Camry .

Surf for the car yourself online and ship it to Nigeria and clear it.
It will be better so as to know the history of the car and any prior repairs or open recall.

I buy most of my cars from Iaai auction and transport it myself to the port cos of accuracy in terms of the vehicle condition..
Copart auction sucks cos they aren't too accurate in terms of the vehicle condition report.

I pray you get the best.
You mean you buy it yourself from their website without a middleman?

If u want luxury feel , buy lexus . I have a few .

I don't think fuel should be a problem for you that can spend 20m on a car .

It's like asking a man who owns a Gwagon of fuel is his problem

But , if it's fuel consumption that is Ur priority , go for 4plug Camry or 4 plug Venza

Lexus Rx command respect but if you looking fore fuel eco and easy cheap maintenance go for Camry 2015
That's your opinion.
Re: As A First Time Car Owner Which Of These Cars Will You Recommend? by Tzar(m): 1:36pm On Nov 13, 2024
As a 1st time car owner, go and buy a corolla or civic. It is easier with fuel and parts are relatively cheap. If you are in Lagos they will hit your car and mechanics will rip you. You need to learn the ropes of owning a car in NIgeria and that will take you 1-2yrs. This will give you the knowledge of a car running cost (fuel), maintenance , parts, meet the right mechanic, etc. Thereafter you can buy a bigger car. Otherwise owning a car can be overwhelming and exhausting if you are not careful.

Good afternoon, my daddies, mothers, brothers, and sisters on Nairaland Forum.

Please I need your help.

I'm using this medium to appeal to everyone that comes across this post to consider me, please. I'm not going to lie so I can be pitied, so I'll just be completely honest.

I'm here to beg so I can get something to eat. Any good person should help me with anything he or she can; I'll appreciate any amount, please.

I'm begging everyone in the name of God Almighty. I've exhausted every option I have, and that's why I'm here now. I have not eaten anything since Monday evening. This is due to the fact that I was evicted from where I was squatting. I have been running helter-skelter looking for where I can get a temporary place to stay.

Please, I am totally broke. I don't have any money; I will appreciate it if anyone can help me with any amount just for me to get something to eat today. Please don't let me die of this hunger! I swear to God Almighty, I've never done this before, and this is the last thing I want to do, but I have no other option now.

Please have mercy on me and help me.

My bank details are:

Bank: OPay
Account Number: 610 499 1976
Account Name: Olamilekan Quadri


May God Almighty continue to bless you and your family. May you never lack any good things in life. May God Almighty continue to protect you and your family. Amen

If by 3:00 PM, I don't get help, I will sell my phone. But it will affect me a lot.
BrightQuadri,Misteryissa,2ruebeliever,Loyalpal44,ReliableAgent02,Olaoluwasp,
Easygoingman32,Olaoluwa23,Sukhses,bolarinwatips,quadri, Tunde Otukomaya etc

Why must you lie and conjure fables just to fleece people of their money? You are not sick and you are an able bodied guy. You can't keep on going on like this. The worst of all is you going to use the money given to you for betting.

Folks beware, that guy is a full-time scammer

get any of the Camry's though they're all very reliable since Lexus is also a Toyota product apart from their 6 cylinder engines which are also what you'll get on a V6 Camry but at a cheaper price though my personal option will be the RX350 but that's only if fueling and slightly higher maintenance costs won't be a problem to you. Remember, Lexus is the luxury arm of Toyota so, though they're basically the same, costs will be higher on the Lexus side for wear and tear items

What's this? You think anyone will be moved by this sh*t?

You better remove this part. If you don't get shishi, know it's because of that statement. Moreover, even without it, you can't see shishi.

You even have an asset to sell and you sounding as if you kidnapped it from someone and need a ransom of a condition.

So, know Lexus and Camry are the same company, just lexus is the luxury brand of the company.
Both are good, but Toyota has been adjudged to be more reliable and has better resell value because it's simplified.
Before you buy any car, get the VIN number and do a VIN check, make you no go buy junk that has cosmetic surgery.

Camry for fuel economy with its 4cylinder engine variant, the 2.5L 2ARFE.

For the V6 camry it shares some engine part with the Lexus ES, but lexus has more luxury than toyota badge so if fuelling isnt an issue then for sedan the ES350 is better and more superior in everything than a camry even with the 5years difference.

The RX is less fuel efficient but has a good ground clearance and many luxury gadgets even than the ES. i always advocate for CUV which the RX is categorised as to help with bad roads. For me

RX350 > ES350 > camry 2015 i4 > Camry 2012 i4 > camry V6
At times I wonder if I'm still on this earth. At 30, I can't afford 5k to buy drugs and food for myself. I'm down with typhoid . I wish u the best of luck in whichever one u choose to get for yourself. God bless you

Toyota Camry for reliability and Eco friendly.
Lexus for Luxury and quality.
I'm driving a Toyota Camry 2014 XLE.
It's been 3yrs now I never top water for radiator,less drama. I fit use half tank from Ph go Bayelsa come back no problem. I only had exhaust leakages due to bad roads and fixed them without headache.The Ac na baba til today.
My love for my Camry though.

Why not buy something small to start perfecting your driving skills? You can easily dispose of it later, and you can make your decision then.
The first car would add financial value which might propel you to go for something bigger, and you would have the required driving skills and technicality.
