Number 1. It depends on the model of the Camry.
Then secondly, it depends on the total wellbeing of the car.
I won't even advise my worst enemy to buy a second hand used Nigeria Camry for that price, believe me you are buying a problem.

he clearly said camry 2007 to camry 2009.
2.1million can afford that car comfortably.

A tokunbo Camry is always more expensive than a tokunbo corolla of the same year.

This isn't always true oga.

Grade for grade, the 2003-2005 Corolla is more expensive than its Camry counterpart

Hi Nairalander,
Advice is needed here please help me out, I was using Lexus ES330 2005 for over 2 years which I had no issue with it but late last year I involved in an accident which cost some damages on the car and after repair I sold the car but now I need a car again and my budget is between 1.7m - 2.1m I think I should go for a low maintenance car so I’m confused maybe I should buy Corolla 2005-2007 model or Camry 2007-2009 model. Thanks

Re: Corolla Or Camry: Which Should I buy? by mrphysics(m): 6:59am On Feb 13, 2020
Op, go for corolla 2006 model. However it depends on how long you want to drive the car. If you don't want to drive it for a long time, then go for 2004 model, you can get this for 1.7m and sell it 1.4m after one year drive.

However, if you intend to use it for a long time, go for 2006 Corolla, a budget of 2.1m can get you that. After 2 years of use, you can still sell it for 1.4m still.


However, if you want little luxury or a feel of seemingly big boy, then increase your budget and go for Camry either 2008 or 2009. You can get this between 2.6-2.8m (clean).

Lastly before buying corolla, go with a mechanic and insist he check for what is popularly known as "Indomie". Those car dealers usually remove it and it leads to faster consumption of fuel. Also, the problem of Corolla's is faster engine burn. The engine oil burns and reduces. So most people that use Corolla always have to top oil.
So your mechanic must check this.

Regards

Re: Corolla Or Camry: Which Should I buy? by IamDavid(m): 7:11am On Feb 13, 2020
TruthSpeaker:
TOYOTA CAMRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIGHER RANKED THAN TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE TOTOTA CAMRY IS A MIDSIZE SEDAN, TOYOTA COROLLA IS A COMPACT SEDAN. IN OTHER WORDS, CAMRY IS BIGGER, MORE EXPENSIVE, MORE POWERFUL AND LOGICALLY CONSUMES MORE GASOLINE.
WHEN BUYING A USED CAR, THE MILEAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE HIGHER THE MILEAGE, THE MORE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING PROBLEMS EARLY. TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BUY A CAR OF LESS THAN 100,000KM OF MILEAGE. YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL BY MAKING SURE YOU ARE SEEING KILOMETERS AND NOT MILES, BECAUSE 100,000 MILES IS ABOUT 161,000KM.
I’M AFRAID WITH YOUR SLIM BUDGET AND WITH THE OLD MODEL YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, THESE NUMBERS WOULDN’T BE FEASIBLE. THEN ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR IS TO TRY TO TRACK THE CAR HISTORY ONLINE, SO THAT YOU DON’T END UP BUYING A JUNK CAR THAT SUFFERED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE PAST OR WAS A VICTIM OF NATURAL DISASTER (SEVERE FLOODING).
BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR FINAL CHOICE.
why are you shouting??

Depending on your location and how much hustle you fit do

At that budget, you can mostly get a tokunbo Corolla not a tokunbo Camry.

If you are comfortable using a Nigerian used Camry, lovely.

Then there is feel consumption, price of maintenance and the other things. Which people will swear makes the Corolla better.
Thanks, but I heard people saying Corolla and thieves are 5&6 and saying it’s too light on the road...

Don't deceive people? What would I gain from deceiving them? If truly you are a car dealer then stop selling problems in the name of car dealership. FYI, I'm not a car dealer but a 2013-Camry owner, I saw those cheaper problematic ones before I opted for this and you don't want to know how much I bought it. Oga run along.
