The balance when you are seated s just out of this world

You guys have obviously not explore other cars at all...

Who says Evil.spirit 2009 to 2012 Accord is cheap?

I'm a car dealer and at tje same time I've used several cars as I buy, fix and resell after some time, so I can tell which car is cheaper in terms of maintenence, purchase, fuel economy and at the same time classic or make you look richer in the Nigerian society

1. Mercedes Benz C230, C200k, C180, go for the 4 cylinder engine. These cars have engine sizes ranging from 1.8L to 2.0L engine size and they full option with sun roof or panoramic roof, back air condition vent with leather and fabric interior. The make alone is every classy when heard.

Let me burst your bubbles, Nigerian used is sold btw 3m to 4.5m. While toks is sold around 7m.
Intact I sold my 2 yrs used last year for 2.4m, first body with a tokunbo engine I installed barely 2 months b4 selling it ooo, with ac and everything working perfectly, c200k, 2003 model.

Parts are very very affordable, and are everywhere in the market. And their parts can last a life time unlike the Japanese you'll have to change after 4 months or 6 months max.

It's fuel economy is topnotch, 1.8l engine with kompressor that energises the engine and speed making fuel economy low, as a matter of fact, it conserve fuel more tha. Corolla 2006... don't argue with me... I used this car for ehailing (Uber) for 2yrs plus so I can tell you for free...

What other car again, can present you well... oooh?... hmmm!!!

I would have mentioned the Peagout 406 sedan, not the hatch back oh the car... that car is damn cheap, both parts and fuel economy, menh... I travelled to Illorin with it, I bought full tank and spent 3 days b4 coming back to lagos, I was still having little fuel left. The car is classic as well and will.present you to the society like a military personal.

Tokunbo is sold for around 6 to 7m currently
9ja use is very scarce but if you see a good one it should rank almost 4m.

But this Honda is very expensive ooh as 9ja used toks grade is around 7m, 7.5m... I sold one 7.8m last month.
Tokunbo is about 10m 10.5m depends on the mileage and title. Part are quite expensive... and you've the dislocation of legs to worry about.

So to me base on experience I'll go with the first two over and over again b4 I will even think on the Accord or any other car

My brother you're the best. Honestly. Please just keep doing what you're doing. God will make you great.. Not man..

Re: Mention A Car That Is Cheap But Makes You Look Rich by PAQ(m): 5:25pm On May 06, 2025

Are affordable cars even a thing anymore? A 2000 Golf now demands years of savings from an average salary earner—unless they find some other way to raise the cash.

A 2010 Yaris is about 7-8million, tell me if that ain't rich for a launch-box looking vehicle.

You're talking about a car i drove for 10yrs!
If a car's development started in 2006 and it's released in 2007, it'll be labelled a 2007 model.
All Discussion continues are 2007 model.
It's not everything you rush to Google for an answer.

I tell you bro

If is stay for 3days without driving it, whenever I get back to it, as soon as I sit on the wheel and hold the steering, it gives a power feeling of balance.

Same here, followed by the Accord coupe. Those cars were very easy to maintain for me, and yet they looked classy. Ball joint issues made ditch those cars.

So you're saying it's not really easy to maintain.

A 2010 Accord vs c180 of early 2000s. The difference is clear

Let's compare both cars bros

C230 2003/05, I4 , LEATHER SEAT, back ac vent, sun roof, suck in remote starter not key ooo.
Air bag: 12
Suspension: lower arm are aluminium and iron, each legs has 3 bole joints, no shalft, because of its back axle, rear wheel drive, making balance to be excellent.
Same applies to the C180 and C200k, 2000 to 2003.
Note: have you heard of the Red top for the W203, ut is regarded as the bullet proof engine, the engine no dey die. Some ML350 dey use same engine. Very powerful engine.

Now, Accord 209/2010, i4 engine, leather seat, not all comes in full option, unlike the W203( C class).,
Suspension: shaft, after some months of usage shaft don dey make noise, kekeke when you're turning, you know how much for complete shaft? But benz no get shaft,
lower arm is only iron with just 1 bole joint, this why Accord easily pulls off the road.

Air bag, only 4, go and confirm this.

Front wheel drive

Key start

Price: Accord 2009/2010
Toks: 9.5m to 11m
Local used: 5.5 to 7.5m range
Maintenance cost: higher

Benz W203 (C180, 200k, 230)
Toks: 7 to 8m
Local used: 3.5 to 5m range Maintenance cost: lower

Bro na popular demand and bang wagon effect make toyota or japaness car dey sell pass German cars ooo but in the actual sense nothing dey japaness car.

If you doubt me, go borrow your friends benz use for like 3 days... you go vex go sell your Accord.

Those old model benz no dey guve wahala...
