I'M TURN IN BETWEEN BUYING A BRAND NEW HYUNDAI I10 AND BUYING A TOKUNBO HYUNDAI SONATA OR ELANTRA. BARELY THEY COST ALMOST THE SAME THING WHEN COMPARING

my dear friend if you love your self and youbdint want Kazeem and his crew 2 use your car to learn work pls stay away from Hyundai and Kia brands. Had a Hyundai and Kia and it was every weekend @ d mechanics shop. no parts readily available except u go to their Dana workshops. Don't get me wrong their cars are not that bad but for our roads its a no go area & their suspensions are as soft as biscuit bones.

Lies from the deepest abyss...

You are either a reckless driver or you didn't buy them BRAND new.

Oga , I can tell u that u don't know how to maintain cars. If I show the pix of an optima we have been using for 10 yrs u go hala. I kW the parts are not easy to come by but once u buy a kia part I won't have to replace it for a long time

at the "suspension like biscuit bones".

I used a Cerato for 3 years and it served it's purpose. It's either dumo1 knows nothing about Kia/Hyundai or he has a Nigerian mentality about cars.

oga sir pls do ask questions b4 u assume & conclude next time the time this car's were bought was when they were first introduced into d market & our mechanics had no faintest idea about how to repair these vehicles as at then, all dat they did then was trial & errores. Not now that they are like pure water and mechanics have gotten d hang of these vehicles.

The truth is the Nigerian automobile market still has a long way to go. Most of our mechanics are quacks and people patronize them alot.

Then why would you buy a brand new Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru e.t.c then drive it to kazeem's place to fix, these guys can't fix new model cars as these cars are out of their league. They learnt their trade on datsun and other extinct car models. Also vital components in new vehicles are covered by warranty till around 100,000 km or 5 years, whichever comes first. So your stories ain't adding up.

Then, if you can also afford a new car, then you shouldn't have a problem repairing the car in a standard service centre operated by the car manufacturer or an assigned dealer.

What do u mean my stories ain't adding up, a car bought in 2004 with about 140000km is not possible or what?

Mind u that car didn't get this far with kazeems repairing it, the only work kazeems do in it are basic stuffs like changing of bulbs or brake pads. Everything else is handled by kia specialists

U r right to an extend but I will also blame d owners too.From my little observation n what I've experienced,Car owners always look 4 cheap service n that's what u get when u can't afford to pay 4 a good service.Kazeems av a lot of options in d market.

@ abios22 did u finally settle on a car of your choice?

Yes boss, I think i'll go for a low budget Hyundai i10 or Kia Rio .. Brand New.. They'll save me from checking up at the mechanic every 2 weeks about some fault or two. and since fuel has become a very huge commodity to get, FUEL efficiency is a key factor to consider.

Thanks for your inputs guys!
