baconline:
Smugglers have being bringing in cars whether border is open or closed, the border being open does not affect cars , U CANT BRING IN CARS THRU ANY LAND BORDER, so technically nothing has changed , don't fear if u are a dealer
Assuming the info was even remotely accurate, what's there to fear, what's there to feel threatened about?

Did they hold any dealer back from going to the cotonou to buy the "cheap" cars too?

Just let them console themselves up there, only thing I see here are people who can't afford the cars they dream of, and they transfer the aggression to the car sellers grin grin

Borders are not being opened for cars. It is for other goods. Only a smuggler will attempt using land borders to bring in cars into naija today.
No need wasting your resources on him, let him gloat. When people can't afford a car, they blame the dealers, lol.

Just show him road to idiroko and move on, don't give free education to these ones pls

Living in Nigeria it’s a no brainer Honda Pilot all day everyday twice on Sunday
Use recommended fluids and service when due .. most importantly buy a good unit

Save yourself many many headaches looking for expert …
Na my issues with una be this, you won't look for "experts" if you buy Honda abi, yet gazzuzz thread is filled with Honda people looking for "experts" daily

And this is how they looked for expert all the way to Nairaland and the "experts" are setting up expensive shops all over the country and cashing out, yet no one is looking for them sad

@OP

Whilst reading all people are posting, have it at the back of your mind that majority of contributions you'll get here are laced with bias (mine inclusive)

Everyone most likely has a motive for their suggestions, some want to sell parts, some want to sell cars, some want to repair and some are just plain fanboys on a superiority drive

Its always better to check the history of everyone suggesting one thing or the other and see which points are laced with bias and which are likely coming from an angle of neutrality

As for me and my family sha, i will defend my volvo especially when faced with an inferior opponent grin

Go for the Honda Pilot.

You have mechanics and parts scattered everywhere and they’re not a nightmare to fix. They have cheap parts compared to the others and also are very reliable compared to the others. They have very good interior spaces and handles the road very well. They have decent fuel economy and have very impressive crash tests scores (they’re very safe)


Talking from experience.
For every point you listed here, 08 pilot has nothing on 08 XC90

Having mechanics scattered everywhere doesn't mean they know what they're doing, if that was the case, you won't spend a lot to setup a workshop hoping for clients, why will they need you when they can get cheaper services and parts scattered all over every street

08 Honda pilot parts ain't generally cheaper than 08 XC90 in naija

Talking about reliability, that's subjective. Depends on maintenance culture of the individual, but the constant thing is that for both vehicle, even when well maintained, the XC90 ages better, no contests here

08 Honda pilot interior is more plasticky and inferior to that of 08 XC90, beauty is subjective

08 XC90 handles better than 08 Honda pilot

Talk about crash tests and safety too, 08 Honda pilot ain't above the 08 XC90

RealEzee:
that super cheap part got my attention,thanks for your input
Dont be deceived, that information is not true.

When it comes to cost of parts (not China knock offs), the Honda Pilot doesn't have an edge over XC90 here oj naija

Why you did have a valid reason up there , that is not the reason I am planning to point out ....the human use is not my point of reference, the design is what I am pointing out , if Toyota car is running out of oil or doing overheating ....and let's assume u were unable to check from the cluster ....I tell you the engine will keep on running doing fine till it knock on motion ....both of this I have experience, if an honda car is running out of oil or doing overheating ....and u were unable to check from the instrument cluster .... the engine will not knock ....it will simply switch off on you ....this one wonderful design is one of the reason why honda engine is not what u sell everyday compare to corrola engine
You made some valid points there.

For the same year model Volvo cars as the 03 - 08 corolla for eg:

If your water runs low while driving, you get a notification, no way your car is overheating without your knowledge

If your engine oil goes low while driving, you get a notification, no case of driving till oil dries up and knocks engine

If your oil pump is getting weak and oil pressure gets low while driving, you get a notification

If you have a low engine performance (misfires, coils, plugs, etm, fuel pressure), you'll get a notification and a message to either downshift or park safely

You won't get any of these warnings with majority of the Toyotas of same year model hence the higher likelihood of things having gone bad already before you notice.
