Have your mechanic check thoroughly, besides i go stick to a toyota with the amount

Get it to know the problem.. though problems of this car might be relative

hope it aint GDI engine

body go tell you

If the fuel consumption is low and it doesn’t have shock absorber issues,go for it.

Naija use keh.

Never towing that part anymore.

Buy a 2012 - 2014 camry, and have total and everlasting peace ✌️

Solid car with speed and durability, been enjoying it since 2018.

Thier parts are usually very expensive, and the car doesn't have second hand value.

Na bicycles data boys dey ride na.

Add #500k to your budget and buy this.

Why is asking price 8m for Naija used if it doesn't have second hand value?

Based on my experience as a car dealer, the most prevalent issues with this vehicle are related to the transmission and, sometimes brakes. Make sure your mechanic thoroughly inspects the gears and the engine. This model has had notable engine problems, so a careful assessment is highly recommended.

Congratulations in advance OG.

Buy Toyota and Buy Peace

Bro my candid advice to you is to go for Toyota Corolla 08 or Toyota Camry 2008 to 2014.

Been on my current car since 2019... Sigh.. It's really been a while since I bought myself a fresh minty car. Baba God please take me back to that levels fast🙏

Op, sorry for using your thread for lamentation jare... Check https://www.cars.com/research/hyundai-sonata-2012/consumer-reviews/

There are other car review sites. But you may not find Nigeria-specific issues on those oyinbo site.

@afikoo na now wey I dey read the review I shared with you on cars.com...oboy try be very careful with that car. May not be a bulletproof afterall.

From experience, you will cry since its Nigeria used.
All the Nigeria used cars I have driven, both the Benz I bought in Lagos and the Voltron I bought in Benin city, them showed me pepper and I vowed never to ever buy Nigeria used cars again

It can easily catch fire

Naija used car wey still clean like this? Omoh is possible say panel beater fit don do plenty surgery for hin body..

But wetin I no like for this car be say any small load the boot side go almost dey touch d ground.maybe dem no too do the car absorber well

The price is too high. It's first grade Tokunbo is around 10.to 11m.

Has poor resell value

Avoid double exhaust except you can buy fuel and don’t mind

Buy Toyota instead and get to resell it when you want to

I swear
When I wanted to buy my Benz, that's how I was told that if I go to Lagos and buy from those Lekki boys, I will enjoy it.
Naso I enter road to Lagos from Benin, my brother, the so called Lekki used almost sent me packing to the village

Hyundai and Kia vehicle engine usually develop problem from 100,000km. I'm. Speaking from experience. Please tread carefully.
