mu2sa2: Unfortunately most naija people hardly do any research before buying used cars. A person would just tell a car dealer to get him a "neat, grade 1 tokumbo direct", without bothering to do even simple Vin check on the car. Even on YouTube you will see car gurus like scotty Kilmer giving useful car tips, but naija people wont give a damn. I know a man who bought Nissan Murano jeep and never enjoyed that car at all. I dont know the millions he wasted on the damn thing, but he wouldn't have bought it in the first place if he had done a little research. From the agony the man went through, I almost concluded that Nissan Murano must be among the worst cars ever made. Later I got to know that the issue with nissan murano had to do with the problematic CVT transmission. Infact because of the issue with the transmission nissan discontinued murano model, but people were ignorantly buying its tokumbo here as graded. really? When did Nissan discontinue Murano because I use the 2018 model right now and 2019 is out already....can you please update me? 5 Likes |

First guys, OP needs to change the topic to vehicles you should avoid if you are buying a used or tokunbo car and taking it to Nigeria. Some of these vehicles truly have bad second hand values but it's a totally different ball game if you are buying it new, you have the servicing outlets around you and all that. Infact, there are a lot of things to consider for second hand vehicles |

Nice post. You've 'saved' lives. Thanks for this piece! AutoJoshNG:
A Nigerian whose moniker on Twitter is @Otunbakush1 listed twenty four (24) cars Nigerians “should never buy” because their problems can’t be fixed except when you take it back to the company.
In this post, we’re going to quote what he wrote on Twitter. He stated the problems the various cars came with.
NB: Please, what you’re about to read is the opinion of @Otunbakush on Twitter and not that of Autojosh.
Below are the 24 cars he listed and the reasons why you should never buy them.
1. Land Rover 3 (LR3):
First on the list of cars you should never buy is the LAND ROVER 3 (LR3), about 27million pieces was recalled months after production, and trust me millions Don enter 9ja.
It might look rugged but, the issues, Transmission, engines, brakes, electrical and so on, it’s can go off anytime on motion, and u will need a mechanic to open d engine right on the spot. The brakes ain’t trust worthy cos it fails anytime, oil leaking into the engine errors.
You will keep visiting the mechanic, and dey will keep collecting money from you, this errors can only be fixed by Landrover themselves, less I forget, d brake disk, and lining has sensors, and dey fail repeatedly, so u fit Match brake and ẹ no catch…you Don die be that.
2. 2015 Mercedes Benz C300:
No 2, Mercedes Benz C300 ( 2015)
All model of this car was recalled due to fire, you can park and it will still catch fire, u can be on motion and it will catch fire, reasons?, fuel leaking into d engine, no Nigerian mechanic can fix it, you have to return it back to d company.
3. 2005 Nissan Pathfinder:
No 3 Nissan Pathfinder 2005 Transmission problem, you can ask anybody using this car, dey have changed gear box like 1million times, major figures of this suv was recalled, failed alot of test, but still found its way to Nigeria, gear can hook OK motion and can lead to accident.
Airbag problem, you can be driving, if u enter big porthole, d airbags will activate and boom on ur face, almost all of this car accident is caused by the airbag pulling on drivers face, avoid it at all cost.
4. 2002/2003 Nissan Xterra:
No 4, Nissan Xterra 2002/2003 Run from this car, it was a test project before it was been released
Engine (60%) Transmission and Drivetrain (0%) Brakes and Traction Control (7%) Suspension and Steering (14%) Electrical and Air Conditioning (18%) Paint, Rust, Leaks, Rattles etc
You can speed to 100mph, at 70mph it starts shaking, at 80mph it shakes hard, at 100, accident, it will overturn by itself, if u no die, na God’s grace, if u die u go explain for heaven wetin kill you, avoid it.
5. Nissan Murano:
No 5 on the list of cars you should never buy, Nissan Murano…God of all problems, if u don’t wanna die from spending money, avoid it.
Soft brake pedal Engine failure Gearbox failure Brainbox failure No traction Inside rain if u match brake, your car go moonwalk walahi, Electrical problem Heater problem Avoid it
6. 2009 Mercedes Benz E300:
No 6, Benz E300 2009model Avoid d 2009 model if u are buying, crankshaft issa goal, it will give u problem, and d engine cos is around 2/3million naira, gear can also hook to park, making it difficult to put ur car in park gear.
Airbag failure also Avoid d 2009 model.
7. 2010 BMW X6:
BMW X6 2010 MODEL BMW recalled all of this model, but they only got 30% of it.
Engine problem Fuel hose problem Now let’s focus on electrical problem, once the problem starts u will know, ur dashboard will be messed up, car won’t move again, now, it will affect d engine.
Since it’s electrical, it sends light back into d engine switch and damages d major part of it, u will need to replace that engine, now 9ja rewire go just do shady work, and dat thing will repeat itself…so don’t buy it.
8. Volkswagen Touareg:
Volks Touareg, this suv’s problem is legendary and it’s one of the top cars you should never buy, I will just outline d major ones,
Transmission Brakes Sensor failure Water finding it’s way mixing with oil, and straight into d engine (Knock)
Power steering failure, u fit dey drive make ẹ hook, u Don die be that.
9. 2008 Audi Q5:
Audi Q5 2008 Avoid diesel engine, na die. Major problem, electrical problem Engine stalling, too much speed will cause engine combustion, now it can make ur bonnet pull while on motion, thousands were recalled but u know na, some go still enter 9ja, avoid it.
10. 2006 Mercedes Benz GL450:
BENZ GL450 2006 MODEL
Suspension problem, Leaking steering racks Battery drainage issue..
The major one is d suspension, the car is too heavy for the suspension Benz gave to it, causing d balloon to always leak, one Leg balloon, is around 900k, now imagine if d 4 spoil.
11. Chrysler Cruiser:
Chrysler Cruiser
Pls for heavens sake don’t buy it, ahh even d devil is scared of this car, everything for this motor dey fail, legs, Engine, lights, gear, Brainbox, everything, and brake failure is on 100% u fit die, while on motion it can accelerate itself…

Audi A5 2010 model
Steering problem, mechanic will keep eating ur money on this, only the company can fix
Brake failure Electrical problem Cooling system failure

13. 2008 Honda Ridgeline:
Honda Ridgeline 2008 Fine muscle vehicle, the tie rods na something else, it can remove on motion, if u fit it will remove again, till d car decides to kill u, or u decide to kill it, exhaust leaking also.

18. 2008 Mazda CX-7:
problems with the 2008 CX-7’s Variable Valve Timing (VVT) & timing chain failing, causing major damage to the engine — Mazda uses an interference design so typically the valves are bent & the entire engine needs to be replaced.
The brake pads wear out easily.
19. 2002-2006 Nissan Altima:
Nissan Altima from 2002 till 2006 Avoid them, all of them na birds of the same feathers Engine failure Brake failure Top cylinders issue Crank shafts dey break and ẹ dey damage engine block Bad wiring

This one is fuel pump, and it’s always caused by stalled engine pressure, u will start and it will start shaking like person wey get warapa, once pressure no dey, fuel pump go suck everything wey dey inside and dirty must dey…so avoid it.
24. Subaru Legacy:
The 24th car on the list of cars you should never buy is the Subaru Legacy See this one, they were so unfortunate to make it all electric, u can drive it in manual, u see that manual switch is near d drive column, so by mistake if u put ham for manual and u drive it like That without changing the gear…gbèsè dey, gear box na 570k.
