I wasn't going for something.

It's you who thought you said something. That poor guy must have kept to his highlander from your advice

You should take this professional

Some few minutes before your response close to my workshop a guy uses the Volvo xc90 2006 we got talking and I asked him what happened to his rear lights. He told me he broke them accidentally and price each a piece for 35k.

Note: the 35k does not cover the upper rear light which is think like in structure. My question goes this: how much is rear light for a Toyota Highlander 05

The way you decide your own choice, preference, not my ish. The way i decide my choice not your ish. Besides, no need taking this personal from the tone of your response, you have. You won't stop me from commenting on ANY threads in NL I so decide to comment on.


And one last thing, learn to look at views from a wider perspective without emotional attachments.

Gracias!

I'm sorry to say this but youre a big fat liar!! Note the emphasis BIG FAT LIAR!!!! Bring 15k and if I don't buy you that lower light at ladipo I'll deactivate my NL account, bloody liars here on NL.(Note that I'm talking of the OEM not the fake China version that fades after some months)

Pls never commit the heresy of comparing Toyota and Volvo parts here in naija, even though what you'll mostly get is fake China parts for the Toyota, they're still more expensive

Spot this and apply your basic maths. If you need my help I can walk you through the maths

Note: the Volvo rear light was even the cheapest I posted here while the highlander happens to be the highest

It's not as if a world war is about to be unleashed. I just said someone who owns one told me.i have not personally enquired. But I know for sure Volvo parts don't come cheap. If you had being addicted to your basic English you should comprehend better rather than throw insults.why use paracetamol for another man's headache. Kids every where

valarinz:
Bla bla bla, you can use any derogatory word to describe Volvo cars, it's fine, but talking about expensive parts here in naija, you've goofed

The XC90 is not even in the same class and year as that highlander , but still no p. Put your money where your mouth is, appoint someone neutral to go to ladipo and do a survey on cost of parts of both cars and come back here to post your findings, leave that your online rubbish, only less than 5% of Nigerians buy parts online abroad anyways

And if that's what I want, I'll go scout online stores where the parts are cheap too and we'll see how it goes

mayor2013:
I know your type

valarinz:
Case closed then, bye

Next person pls, maybe this time it will be : " Women who drive in Volvo cars are more prone to miscarriages".

This isn't a nice speech at all you sound as though you've got a beef with guys who argue against Volvo brands .

kingreign:
having owned a 2003 Toyota highlander 2.4l i4 as a daily car for 4 good years without ANY challenge and then sold it to another person who uses it till date, id tell you the truth, you're about missing a very fine SUV.

Yes, they'll tell you, volvo is strong, volvo is balanced, volvo is opulent, volvo this volvo that.

Lets come to the basics;
1. reliability: highlander wins.

2. Practicality: highlander wins

3. Simplicity: highlander wins

4. Longevity: highlander wins

5. Speed: volvo wins (v8 and T6)

6. Offroad: NIL (highlander has 50/50 split awd system, volvo has 90/10 split awd system. (highlander is better offroad by a little margin due to lack of locking diff)

7. Ease of maintenance: highlander wins clearly.

8. Luxury: depending on trim, both can be a hard fought battle.

9. Safety: volvo has a long safety reputation but highlander has low fatality rates and is also very safe.

Summary, get a lexus if you want opulence but highlander for practicality. Leave the volvo,

Bros, if you say the one I know is true, you won't see me protest. In fact, if I'm not sure sef, I keep quiet. Once I protest a statement, it's cos I'm certain of what I'm talking about, tnx

aezenkwu:
Volvo would be more expensive to maintain. Reason they don't have fake parts unlike Toyota. My own concern is about electrical fault n it's sensors... I'm using s40 .

FLAKARIBE:
2.5L 2006 is best, all bugs sorted out.
V8 is good, but thirsty
If you must do "v6", avoid the 2.9 matted to a 4 speed auto gear prone to trans failure, however the year 08 and above 3.2L engine you can do.

You only live Once, why not take a risk and enjoy life at its best...do not let the fear of the unknown limit your goals and objectives.

Stay blessed!

Toyota highlander crash test.

Okoyiboz3:
I use an Honda but the Volvo Xc90 has a worldwide safety reputation which made various tech companies use it for their driverless cars.

If you argue against its safety record, it's either you're being mischievous or plainly ignorant.

kumari089:
With all Sincerity, I use a volvo S80 (2006) and those who are commenting about the high cost of Volvo parts seems not to have a first hand experience. i personally go to Daleko with my Mech (atimes) to buy Volvo Parts and if i must confess, they are relatively cheap. For example, i just bought an OEM Front shock absorber for 24000(Pair) and front pointer for 4000 (Right side) at Daleko for my S80. Though have never use a Toyota but i know from what friends told me that shocks for camry might be more than that, though i may be wrong.
As per Safety and security, sure Volvo beats all Toyota product. Dont even compare the interior of an S60 to any camry or highlander of same year, the difference is definitely clear.
Though Volvo cars have their own issues just like any other car. But Experience is the best teacher.

Hello Flakaribe

how about the 3.2L 2007 how is that compared to the 2.5L 2006

FLAKARIBE:
2006 2.5= cheaper running cost and good hands on @ladipo.
2007 3.2=fuel consumption is more, but remember also except engine size so many other things affect fuel consumption..but not as bad as people would say.
Why I prefer 08 3.2 and above, is that 07 3.2 was it's first intro, and usually if they are bugs/errors are worked on, corrected for subsequent models. But it, s OK too.
Still better msg than v8.
V8 I love, would def own one for travelling interstate...(men of underworld looking for who to chase and rob)

kingreign:
No doubt the Toyota company are conservative in their design approach cos they're mid class vehicles. Volvos are thorough cos they are premium vehicles. What about we stepping up to Lexus (a division of Toyota)?

Decale:
Stick to topic, mate.

The poster made references to two cars cos they're priced within his range.

When he wants a 2003 rx300 for the same price, he'll let us know.

valarinz:
Ok, lets start removing emotions from now on, so, how about we start from point no. 9 from your list, state the clear winner the way you stated it on the others, after then we'll move on to no. 8 maybe
