those harassment shouldn't force u buying an old car when u know your pocket is insufficient. Is it not wiser to endure those pressure and make a good budget for a reliable car. If you consider those insults from garage boys u will end up acquiring something that will keep u in a mechanic workshop every week. It's messy to buy an old car, can't even buy one for my enemy cheesy

Even in Europe people still drive older cars...all you do is if you buy a Nigerian car.. tropicalize it and change the engine

No one said Benz or German cars are not sweet to drive.

I can open my bonnet this night, pour 1000liters of water on the engine bay without thinking of the repercussions, would you?

Some people here are just good at hasty generalization just because of one isolated incident or a preconceived notion passed down to them by a 'previous' generation. Been driving my BMW for years nw...like someone mentioned earlier, d economy is good, affordable parts and all that. When I get another car it will be BMW; wifey... BMW; for my kids, BMW. German machines all the way. TREAT A BMW WELL AND IT WILL TREAT YOU WELL

Unless you are really knowledgeable about the marquees or a mechanic who can personally handle a spanner with dexterity... I will advise you to avoid the following vehicles:

1. Peugeot 607 V6 plus automatic transmission. I won't explain.
2. BMW series whatever series either series a, series b to z. Especially automatic transmission models.
3. Landrover Freelander... Designed by the devil assembled by monkeys.. left factory for showroom with over 200 known faults... Avoid like leprosy!
4. Audi A4 Allroad... I will leave this for kingreign...
5. Nigerian used Nissan Murano... With wires hanging out in the engine bay...in fact all Nissan cars with the slightest sign of abuse..
6. Add yours as led and experienced or known.

what can you say about Nissan Quest? grin

U r very rght my brother,ur maintenance starts with u.i am currently driving a 2001 bmw I bought 6 yrs ago and that car is my most trusted and stable amongst my w203 and big daddy, all bc of my personal dexterity. Sometimes I tell my kazeem and rewire what to do simply bc I ve already diagnosed d problems. Did I Mention that I bought and peruse all the repair manuals of my cars.
Naturallyme:
I have read All replies here. You people don't know anything about vehicles. You want your mechanic to do all the thinking despite your education. These mechanisms are not rocket science as its something anybody can understand. I became a mechanic to myself because I research about problems I encountered on my vehicle. I tell my mechanic Wat to do. I do the troubleshooting myself. I am not undermining their experiences but there is limit to what there thinking could get to. Some are shallow thinkers. Every vehicle brand has its own problems. I have pictures of broken-down vechles of many brands. Problem starts when you allow your timing belt to cut. It's takes God's grace to get it back to normal. Some of you use inferior car chargers and complain your vehicle has electrical problem. You park your car with the mechanic and leave. You don't know what happens afterwards. Over maintenance is what is killing some of us. Mechanics using defective tools to work. Not respecting fit and tolerances, avoiding specified oil grades because of cost. Some are Ill advised by mechanic. These are our major problem. I have been using Volvo s80 for 3+ years i have not encountered any big problem . I hardly get flat tires and i use tokunbo tires with special selection. It's always a serious problem changing my tyres because I hardly loose the nuts . I change my tyre when the groove is less not when it has been patched severally. We need to have good maintenance culture and be knowledgeable about cars we use. I laughed at all these comments here. You guys are naive. My site is coming up soon. Www.mymaintenanceadvisor.com.ng

You are a car owner. Ordinary OBD II car scanner you no get and your are driving 3M worth of car.. Ordinary multi meter you no get let alone having a small tool box. Most of these faults are small faults o but when your mechanic start tampering with other vehicle parts, they hardly restore them back to original position. Be wise my people and develop problem solving skills
