Please,

How reliable is a 2006 Lexus GS 300.?

I have a budget of 1.6 -1.7m for a clean naija used. Can't afford the foreign used for now.

I like Toyota too (Corolla & camry) but Corolla is prone to theft while camry's issue with engine oil shortage and melting dashboard baffles me.

Please advice accordingly.

Thanks
Parts are expensive!!

Good day sir, hope you are coping well with the lockdown situation we find ourselves in Nigeria? God will surely see us true and the infection will never come to our doorposts in Jesus name. Amen.

I just bought a Nigeria used Highlander 2004 v6 car. Whenever I make attempt to shift 5he gear from pack to drive it usually make grinding/shaking sensation and also when on drive atimes the gear slip or lose traction.
When I put it on my scanner it showed codes for heater sensor and crankshaft/crankshaft sensor pending.
Sir what can you say is wrong with car and possible solution to it. Thanks as I look forward to your reply.

About the slipping gear, boss check your transmission fluid. Don't check transmission fluid when the car is off or idle. You need to start the car, allow it to warm up to normal temperature then put it in drive and ask someone you trust to match the brake, then remove the dip stick if and check to see the level.. or prolly chat me up on WhatsApp for further discussion..

Nothing to lose. Just confirm the exact part number of the lost ECU, replace with that number and it will work perfectly if the part is in good condition. Bottom line, it must be the exact part number.

Brainbox is just like your system hard disk, it can be replaced. But in most cars you just need to reprogram it to sync with the car system. That is all and you are good as new

Is BUYING A USED car even worth it:?

Buying a used car in Nigeria is not really ideal, couple with our road and user Conditions.

But not all are capable to spend money on oversea used cars or buying brand new ones.

That is why it is ideal for anybody buying a used car in Nigeria to spare a minimum of 10,000 naira of having a certified Auto Technician to check and report on the car condition before buying.

Boss good day the car is good and durable. The only factory defect of most of it's model are after 1000 miles your sure to get low oil and after topping it you are good to go.

Availability of parts is guaranteed if you stay at Lag,
And about the road compatibility most cars will make you replace your suspension system quarterly or it depends on useage.

That suspension sysyem is another part of the car you need to pay attention to.
And make sure you run a comprehensive Diagnosis before buying the car.

These cars comes in V6 and are well built both interior and exterior, the only thing I notice about the car is poor handling when it comes to brake system in a sharp corner you may likely not like the non firmness in braking when navigating a sharp bend.

When you we talk about first car in my opinion it is a good option and at the same time starting with V6 is not advisable, because of fuel consumption and high maintenance.
Parts is relatively on the high side because Lexus is viewed as an Executive version of Toyota.

Any other thing you need to know you can chat me up on WhatsApp
