I intend buying a locally used car for some important work but I am cut between the right choice that is the reason I am making this post so guys with lots of experience in auto industry will help me out.

I believe in you guys to help me make the right choice based on some of these conditions:

1. Reliability
2. Fuel economy
3. Maintenance
And so on.

Actually, I have two cars in mind

Honda accord 2001

Volkswagen passat 2002

Please help me out with the related issues any of the two are commonly known for

Attached is the picture of both.

Thanks

Please I need honest opinion on this.

Accord is cheaper. Less fuel use. Bora in same category, but costs of parts, I don't know.
Are you comfortable with the ball joint problems you might be encountering on the Honda?
If no, then go for the VW.

thanks for the reply. I will cope with the ball joint issue if there is no other issues that will arise

Tokunbo VW Passat B5 with 1.6/1.8/2.0 engine only, reliable, strong and body doesn't fall apart tokunbo parts are cost effective and they are still solid than tokunbo parts of others.

if you are buying naija used, just buy Honda Accord though be weary of it's transmission highly susceptible to failure, the major reason I always avoid old accord is because reliable tokunbo parts start getting scarce as it age.
