AutoElectNG:
Zero in on a model

I can't really say. Depends on price.
I'm looking at 1.7 million maximum.
Would love the latest model possible though

empron:
simple fact and bitter truth.CAN BUS is here to stay.I love this "upgrade or be irrelevant "kudos to u bro.

I intend to update this thread with Toyota models and the CANBUS cut off date in my spare time.

If we are comfortable using the latest phones and would rather not be seen with the old


Why are we comfortable recommending old technology given the patently obvious advantages of the new?

Could it be self preservation at work at the cost of forward progress?

My musings though.

Wasn't tagged but a Nigerian used 07 Civic, perhaps? Those cars can handle abuse just as well as Corollas. Also, maybe an 03/04 Accord?

Why would I?

Where are you based?

How many people do you intend to carry at a time? Adults? Children?

How long do you plan to keep the car?

Any specific make or model in mind?

When I saw your question, Corolla just rang in my head...
A tad surprised Civic is being touted tho

Jesus! Your English ehn. Don't even know what you mean.

Corolla for 800?? Don't whine me jhor.

Ooops! I didn't see the price clearly. I thought it was 1,800,000.

What I meant there is that I was a bit surprised Civic was mentioned instead of Corolla.

I don't know much about cars either. Honda Civic and Accord seem to be nice. But I know very little when comparing them with Corolla or Camry.

But I think:
Civic is Honda's competitor for Corolla
Accord is for Camry.

Again, I know very little

tizteezy:
Thank you for the insightful stuff.
However, if I'm being honest I understand very little of what you said there.

I've never owned a car, just started learning to drive. I intend getting a car. I don't have huge budget, just a hustling guy.

So, I need a dependable vehicle, low maintenance, good fuel economy, etc at budget under 2 million naira

Do you advise I run away from Volkswagen 2007 - 2012 edition ( where my budget seems to reach)??

Or do you have better suggestions?

A response will be appreciated

I wasn't ignoring you.

I have been busy.

First of all read this https://www.quora.com/From-a-car-mechanics-point-of-view-which-car-make-and-model-is-more-reliable-and-easier-to-fix-when-it-breaks/answer/Jason-Mays-4?share=864b9798&srid=i2UPB

I will come back to the question is Volkswagen 2007 - 2012 edition a good choice

Please study my Quora link above...it says everything you should in mind, that I would like you to know, so there is no need for me to reinvent the wheel

Read from top to bottom.
You write those yourself?.
Aren't you in Nigeria?

But please you write soo well.
It's very clear and I think I know the right decision to take now.

When I said my...I didn't mean the thoughts in the Quora link are mine. I meant that you should see the Quora link in the above post by me. Since I have so much to do and so little time to do it, I found someone who said exactly what I wanted to say to you.

I am in Nigeria and I am available for engagements to fix any vehicle issue anywhere that is relatively safe, I delight in taking on vehicles that others have abused and no one wants to touch, that is where I can prove my onions, but this is always for a fee that recognizes the investment in time and brain waves to restore such a vehicle to pristine status.

I am also the anchor of this program https://www.nairaland.com/4560475/american-automotive-technician-training-live which obviously needs to be delivered live.

That said, would you still say that I write so well?

You write okay but not as the writer in the Quora link in my opinion.
