This is hard to find even at Mobil stations across Lagos. 5w30 can serve as well. But how much do you sell 5L size not this 1L versions?

17k Naira

Hello people.

I am thinking of getting a Toyota Camry, 2010/11(muscle)

Just not sure whether to purchase via a dealership locally or buy directly from one of these auctions and ship myself. I have never done this before. This will be my first car as well.

Ogas in the house, kindly compare toyota Rav4 2003 and Kia Sportage 2009. Which has better maintenance costs, fuel economy and good resale value?

guys,

Nope. Though they have same engine and body. The Touring is designed to be sporty by having a tighter suspension and a larger wheel. Inside, it has an all black interior and aluminium trims. The Limited edition on the other hand is geared towards maximum luxury with simulated wood trims, keyless ignition, heated and ventilated seats, rain sensing wipers, optional navigation and adaptive cruise control. Those features are not in the limited edition. If you wanna buy the avalon and you like car techs, I'll advise you go for the limited edition. Not much price difference though.

They didn't reduce it. SAE rating format changed that year. The Avalon outputs 268 HP, same as all 2GR-FE sedans.

XLS is basically almost a stripped down Limited. It does not get keyless ignition, rain sensing wipers, ventilated seats and memory seats but can get navigation and radar cruise control as option. It does not get JBL synthesis 12 speakers audio too. The screenshot below can help for more clarification.

Baba...you see faulty everywhere you wan still buy?
Well, I'm no car expert but from the report it appears the current owner or one of the previous owners did not maintain this car wella. Anyway, you can leverage on the faults per this report and bargain lower than 400k (that's if you are ready to fix everything yourself). Also, try to get an idea of the amount to fix these faulty issues before you decide.
Shalom!
