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 ..

There's no much difference between an i4 engine and a V6 engine with regards to fuel consumption. I've used both.
I have been waiting to see this particular comment because I thought I was the only one. I keep seeing people saying v6 consume fuel & I keep wondering. I use an 06 corolla & Lexus es350, believe me I can't spot the difference in fuel consumption. I believe most people who say v6 consume fuel don't actually use v6.

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.
You go show us way on how to buy and clear car you wanna buy baba

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.

on average how much do you spend on the Camry monthly ?
I spend about 140k on fuel and 60k on engine oil because the car keeps consuming oil (0w20 Synthetic oil).

It's not rocket science. As an engineer any V6 engine should consume more fuel than any 4-cylinder engine because they have more cylinders and more fuel is flowing into the engine......Na when you buy full Tank use the Cars travel long distance e go clear if na the same thing or not.

I have done full tank on both cars from my state to Abuja during Christmas holidays, believe me when I say I can't spot the difference. The only sharp difference I see is the maintenance due to high cost of Lexus parts. But for fuel economy, I can't see the difference.
Re: As A First Time Car Owner Which Of These Cars Will You Recommend? by ogbevireo(m): 6:32am On Nov 14, 2024
you can buy your car directly from auctionexport on your own.
register.
choose a car of your choice.
pay for it (you will billed for the car and for shipping to Nigeria).
when it arrives Nigeria, you clear it from the ports.
number your car.
start to enjoy it.

Car not easy to use again ooo, make sure you think deeply, about ur income and expenditure before you embark on such journey.


You ask urself first, will you be able to sustain 7k-10k for fuel alone on daily, excluding spare parts (if your working place not far from your house, if not , I will advise you to shelve the plan.


Very easy to bay car, but to maintain it, it's a tedious task during Tinubu reign.

NB. Make sure you ask for spare parts as well!
someone who can afford 20m to buy a car no supposed small for your eye now.

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
this is the best advice for you!
