Kaymaxi2222:
he said Honda Accord not Honda plus if you need that 06 camry for 4m I can give you one without issue

Nezzjnr:
No need for all these write-up.

You be agent and you have the car at your disposal and you need to get rid of the car to see your percentage.

Felicity001:
Bring am come my office tomorrow, if e pass test I'll.pay you and still.give you money for uber

Felicity001:
What I meant was, an importer would prefer if.given the chance.

Yes you're right, the high cost of duty has caused the entry of these cars through the back doors and it's paying off because custom will.not even disturb you.

Nevertheless, that doesn't cancel the professional engineering work put on that car making it a better choice with its counterpart 2.4

[color=royalblue]I am not doubting the reliability of the pencil light.

But then, unless it's for transport, we have moved passed the age where low fuel consumption and durability is the only selling point for a car.

Pencil light will always remain golden

But to cough out 4 million to buy a Naija used, and be using it to carry my children and wife is not worth it.[/color]

Who told you we have moved passed this lol... na now we even move enter that age... when last did you see people driving the toyota Sequoia, or using Tundra as a private car

A client insisted on an i4 toyota venza even if I tried to convince him the V6 is better, he say him no get money for fuel... I laff tire... I nk get money for fuel but you've money to buy a car worth over 20m

Felicity001:
How much is 4m worth these days in the auto industry? The dollar is still above a 1500. So your 4m will not get you any new modern car with modern features so it's either you up ur budget or lower your taste.

Felicity001:
I'm case you don't know you have also insulted yourself and demarketing yourself as well because you're also a Nigerian. Until we change our ways and manners and attitude about ourselves both in and out of this country Nigerian will never be okay.

For your information, some local used car are far better than the so-called tokunbo.

Haven't you seen where someone bought a tokunbo car and the engine knocked just after 200km drive? Some gear problem, some electrical and mechanical issues


Most of us have very bad maintenance culture, I can attribute it to poverty and poor government policies and enforcement but trust there are some of us who take our care like it's our body.

I just bought a BMW recently, and the guy was not even ashamed to say that the last time he carried out an.oil.changed was in July 2023, he even knew the date off hand. Can you imagine, 2yrs...

Last November I bought a local used 2017 Lx570 for a.client, mind you this client and his team of dealers (barandas).have been out for several momths insearch for a foriegn.ised b4 someone referred them to me, the local used I sold to them was inspected just once by their mechanic who said, "this is the only good LX I've seen so.far", oga run to the bank and effect payment."

So change your mindset.

You want a good car, have a deep pocket and pray to meet a car dealer with.comscience who is good in his.craft. and you too you've to know what you want, like Shimmaa now, he and his wife haven't made a decision of what they want.

So @.shimmaa first go back and think about what your wife really likes, from there your.dealer Will take up with your budget.

Felicity001:
With your budget you definitely have limited option.

Since it's for ur madam, your best bet is the camry 2.2, she may not like it because it's not fashionable but trust me that car can tolerate abuse, it's very fuel efficient but it's parts are quit expensive because it's widely sourced for and shares parts with the rx300 and Highlander 2003 model.

Nevertheless, a 2006 toyota matrix, but your budget won't get you a good one that will be trouble free. You'll have to spend additional 800 to 1m to bring it upto speed.

Kia rio.is another good ride, but getting a good one without over heating history is a major problem

You best bet still remains the camry 2.2.
It's a good ride for any class and terrain.

Think about it.

With 3.5m you'll get a near tokunbo

Felicity001:
The one I'd for sale some time last October I sold.it out the very day I placed it on the market, currently I do not have any one for sale. I was honest with my suggestions base on his budget, because as a dealer I know 4m will barely buy him a good car.

Mind you, I first asked, for what purpose and my suggestions was base on the status of what it's proposed for.

Majority prefer toyota brand not knowing its just a mirrage.

Pearl1910:
I think 4m should be enough for a good Matrix

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I said "Only".
Why is your client insisting on Venza since fuel is his headache? He should have bought Korope naa.
We have moved passed that as the only selling point for a car, and you know that.
Nothing special about a car using 1 litre from Lagos to Ibadan. We don hear. What else? [/color]

UncleJJ:
Vehicles are over-priced, as our nation is full of unscrupulous, mostly incompetent businessmen.

Compare the price of the scrap toyota to the brand new keke napep. that's enough to tell a rational man what not to do.

I still do. Plus that M113 powered sedan.

Felicity001:
Efcc suppose come investigate you

Gentlelife50:
Baba na the same thing we dey talk, it's very simple.

Many Nigerians no sabi maintain cars and when they finish dealing with the car they will be looking for who to pass the wahala to after packaging it.

I never said there are good naija cars, I only advised him to be careful.

Most car dealers are only after their own profits, same with the mechanics.

In fact they don't even know the history of the car they are all preaching for u to buy, some errors na when u begin dey use the car u go understand why the previous owner sold it.

I will emphasize this again, be careful when buying naija used cars.

Let me stop for now.

Most people prefer Toyota because of it's always available parts and a bit affordable.

As Pearl said...She can go for matrix

tojahh:
For a Matrix.... Just to be clear

Felicity001:

Felicity001:
You're supposed to carryout a physical inspection with a trusted technician when buying a USED car (underline the word used). Take your technicians advice and analyse the problem, do you calculations b4 buying, simple!

Don't put the blame on neither the seller or the mechanic.

Every business man at some point will market his product to sell.

If you buy a vad car, blame yourself, don't blame anyone. No one put a gun in your head before you went ahead to make payment weather the car was good or not.

Kewtt:
I see people dropping like flies bro.... enjoy your life....no one is getting out alive. Anyway I look forward to getting my Sequoia on CNG provided PMS doesn't get to 500 per litre

Kaymaxi2222:
oga if you wone buy market you go see and buy the market for where him dey

Gentlelife50:
Okay.
But na advice I give the guy.

Felicity001:

Jaysharp:
Thank boss
Going to see a rewire today. The dashboard light wasnt dimmed mistakenly.

Felicity001:
I don't wish anyone bad, just make sure you go for regular checkup because that cng thing is like a time bomb waiting.to explode. My friend almost got killed on his 2015 camry... the explosion started with his wiper malfunction

Me.i dislike anything artificial, the BMW I just got cane with an android screen, I'm already making plans to reverse to factory.

If I want to drive an electric/CNG/SOLAR.or whatsoever car I'll wait till I have the money to afford it, I won't be ignorant again to buy a converted Benz or upgrade Prado 2022 from GX470... I'll wait till when nature/the universe brings it to me.

If na tortoise can I can afford today I'll. Buy it and drive it with all pleasure and pride.

@izzou one thing I'll never do is put myself under unnessary pressure to carter or please or satisfy my family, if it's school bus I can afford, let them use it, if na bike let them.fly bike, if na trek let them trek, when the time for chopper comes and I can afford it at ease ill do it without a blink.
My wife can not tell me which car to buy for her, neither will put myself under unhealthily situation just because I want a car for drop off and pick up. Na as my power reach ingo do, if she no like bettle (tortoise car) make she rest.

What matters is the quality education and human training you impart into their lives, not the cost of school fees and the type of car that takes them to school.

If you like buy G63 to take them to school, if the child will grow up to be a big person or poor person that G63 or keke napped won't change anything.

No go kill yourself because you want the best for your wife and kids, if you drop dead today, they'll live on, sane way I continue to survive ever since my dad died
