[color=#0000ff]No reason because you seem to have maintance culture! !!

Go for it but open your eyes and the likes when getting one.

You have experience with the brand and the EOD is a significant upgrade to your Bullet. There is no reason why you should not go for it.

Some other vehicles even Toyota do as well.

Lack of maintenance culture
Usage of cheap parts
Usage of cheap parts for too long than necessary
Ignoring warning sounds
Etc

To be frank, I still have my EOD 2005 and I have never experienced such since early 2016. I replace necessary parts with quality ones. I change in pairs; like the last time I changed its ball joints, one was still okay while the other one is getting bad but I replaced the two with very okay ones.

There are always quality ones available around though. You just need to search and do with good money. For example, there is a part going for N2,500 while there is another one going for N4,000 but most people will go for that of N2,500 and want to use it for like it is OEM.

If you want to actually get quality aftermarket or OEM parts, it is better you order by yourself from selected online stores in abroad.

Last year when I had to replace its upstream oxygen sensor, I tested it with belgium ones but it kept rejecting them I think being a USA model.

I was able to fix the issue after I imported Honda OEM upstream and downstream oxygen sensors from USA and fixed them onto it of which the check engine light dissapeared without having to clear any code. Both cost me like N75,000 (N50,000 for the upstream and N25,000 for the downstream).

Well, I think a ball joint issue is small compared to issues a Honda accord might have.
Are Honda engines strong?
The good is the gear?
Does it have electric problems etc.

Answers to the above questions is what the op would like to have.
Not only ball joint issues all the time.

If you are buying a Nigerian used, your major concern should be the gear. They are unforgiving if abused. Trust Nigerian mechanics to put in abro oil

[color=#0000ff]Some ship directly to Nigeria but what I normally do is ship to an address in USA and those in charge of the address send to Nigeria.

I go to them to get my items or I tell them to deliver my items to my house.

If you operate say amazon prime account, they ship same day to your USA address but standard shipping methods take not more than 5 days
to deliver within USA.

The reasons they are asking you not to go for the car are because of three things
1 Ball joints/shaft pulling out
2 Bad engine, (smokes too early)
3 Bad transmission system, (gear)

I've used the car and I can tell you the car is very good in some aspect as you mentioned, the sound system, the body design, AC, suspension and many more, it would be better if you buy a foreign used (Tokunbo) so that you won't regret buying a used one, cuz it's likely to have one or two of the three problems common with the car, and alternatively you could buy a used Toyota camry, 2002-06 (big daddy) instead, I promise you'll love the car, I took that decision and I did not regret, the car is awesome, only regular and minor maintenance.

It's a very sweet, sleek and fast car. I bought mine 2007 model 5 years back and never had issues with it. Though the car was really pampered, so I expect nothing less than loyalty. I make sure I use Honda, Genuine oils for the car, in fact initially I use to buy the oils from US, until I discovered Willoughby street where genuine oils, and parts for Honda are sold. Car served me well, though I have retired her, have packed her unused for over 10months and reluctant to sell, even when a, friend offered me 900k, because of the affection I have for her.
