Op so you get 1.5Milla, o boy you be millionaire oooo. Biggest boiy!
okay really we should also know your capacity to maintain the car cos if for example you buy a fairly used Murano at the Immigration auction, would your less than hundred K per month pay enable you to carry out factory repairs on the car?

First of all, for your opinion to be valid you need to own a car. Opinions based on assumption should be disregarded.

Second, Maintenance of any car is the responsibility of the car owner and not the car. If you can't maintain a Picanto you will most likely misuse a Range.

Third, first time car buyers are interested in economical and affordable vehicles. But after few months you get "bored" of the car and want a car that gives prestige. My opinion, go for a car that gives the prestige to avoid the feeling you purchased the wrong car in the first place if you go for cheap.

4th, the issue of fuel consumption is a factor of the engine. You could avoid a V6 engine BUT no one will buy a luxury car like a BMW and keep complaining about fuel consumption. For instance, how many will give the excuse "I won't buy an Iphone 6 because it comes with an expensive data plan".

Conclusion, take your time to get a car. I waited for almost 6 months and got an '06 Honda Accord for N1m imported 5 months earlier. The same type a friend purchased for almost N2m months earlier.

It is actually near zero maintenance cost, that is if you have good and honest mechanic.

It is not bro, no such thing as near zero cost with it comes to car not even Honda Fit.

lonelydora:

take on bottle for my head. I can't buy Toyota for anything with my money.

Thnak you bro.

Qaisar1:


Too much electrical fault

I don't agree with you on this, you need an expert who understands it to work on it not just any "Kazeem" who calls himself a mechanic.

Toyota has cheaper maintenance cost than Honda. I assume you know that.


....again, I don't think you've used any of the corollas mentioned.

you might want to try Peugeot 407 or 307.......fuel efficiency and of cos durability

Bro, those 'kazeems' are cheaply affordable and can do the job without hassles if you use a car with less complex design like the Toyotas.

It still boils down to type of car.

I owned the 2007 Corolla which I sold to a nairalander last year, my younger brother presently own one too.
Camry has the same maintenance cost as Accord and same can be said of Corolla and Civic.
Toyota cars especially Avalon, 4runner, Sequia, Matrix, Venza, and Sienna are not in any way cheap to maintain.
Take your time to find out how much the engines and gears of those cars goes for in the market, their OEM parts are also expensive.

Only those who want to buy a car for buying sake drives Corolla, those who want to bond with their car and enjoy comfort and luxury without spending much go for Honda,Volvo,Mazda,Nissan,Ford,Chrysler and VW while those who have the cash and want to feel the full thrills of driving a good car go for Benz, BMW,Audi, Acura and Toyota's owned Lexus.

Confirm

cne010:

koluray:

Fu...cking retar..d!
How can the only car be a benz?

Jst get toyota corolla 2006 model, it's vry ok 4 a young guy lyk u

buy Toyota Avalon dts my favourite Toyota product

nurey:


Let's not be biased when helping people out, autosbay is right to have voted the corolla especially the 2003-2007 model year, that ride is one tough moda4ka will go anywhere and everywhere but op stay away from sports version as the sideskirt and bumpers are closer to the ground pass an uneven road and kiss the perfect shape good bye. The only annoying thing is blandness of this cars when you park ur car and waiting for someone let's say like 10mins, there is nothing to fiddle with or try to know how things work TOYOTA = blandness.

I would love to recommend a
VW Passat,
NISSAN teana, maxima, altima
HONDA accord EOD 05 or DC 06 and 07
Or just get ur self a 2005 honda CRV drives like a car and looks like an SUV reliable and good.

Ermmmmm...What do you mean by "blandness" please?

You can go for pegeout 406 prestige

It's more than 1.5m

I don't understand what you mean by 'buying sake'


I still can't see how you can bond with a car that gives you headache all the time. I have a good bonding with my corolla, it asks for near zero maintenance cost

You need to drive a Benz, BMW or Audi to understand the chemistry of bonding with your car bro.

How much is Toks of the 2006 corolla?

It rarely comes as toks. You find more of the American spec as toks; but mine is the European spec (which is more rugged, durable and fuel efficient).

A couple of friends that were lucky to find toks, got theirs at N1.550m and N1.6m respectively.

I bought mine for 1m from an uncle who is a banker. It still had a low mileage of 53k miles as at when I bought it.

It's a car that will leave you with absolutely no regrets whatsoever...especially as a lady.

evesdon4u:


Ermmmmm...What do you mean by "blandness" please?

Bland as in "boring".

acelaw:


For that amount I will give you my 2008 Honda CRV

Can we have a deal for 1.2m?...CASH!!!

bastien:
4 keke

[quote author=Chynx post=31550563]Whatever you do, stay away from Nissan Altima 2.5S (2002model). This vehicle almost killed me with series of complaints...especially electrical; including the fact that it has not ABS!

I have been breathing fresh air since I sold it and got myself a 2006 Toyota Corolla (Bank Type). No sweat at all.

My 2 cents. [/qu

Please, don't get mad at me...what is Bank type? Toyota Corola.

A 9c hummer keke. Or dis car below

Get a clean Honda Accord 2005 model (EOD) for 1.2m and still keep change.

Its like the odd favour the corolla. I got 2007 corolla bank type from a friend abt 2 years ago n the realiability of the car cannot be overemphasized. Do ur rountine servicing as at wen due n when eva u put the key in d ignition, its zoooom!

Though the car's interior is not exciting, it can take u anywhere. D car is good for a beginner I assure u if u get agood one u won't regret It

That a pic of it for those who do not know bank type
