86Vision:
Hello.. Please I need counsel on the purchase of a used jaguar s-type from a friend's car stand. I have actually used the car for over a month. No issues apart from the gear selector cable which I knew was bad before taking it. I changed the selector cable and car performs normal.. I did enjoy the ride on my 7hours journey to my home town with AC on.. No sign of overheating.. with all the portholes I entered, the car served me to & fro without stoppage.. Please house buying this car @800k, is it a good buy? Also, are the parts available? Is the maintenance cost extra-high?? Can a resident of Abuja easily get a mechanic to fix this car? Also, should parts like Engine/gear box gets bad, can one get a replacement in Nigeria?? Please kindly advise so your Brother won't be lost... Thanks
After flexing the car for free and showing off at your home town, you're now on NL looking for an excuse to drop the car and bolt.

You want to show your friend comments on NL that made you decide not to commit, instead of manning up to tell him the car has already served its purpose, time to move on. That's why most people will never do their neighbours good undecided

Maybe after owning and driving Range Rover, next plan is to own and drive a Benz, followed by Audi, next is BMW.

Volvo is a good brand but I don't like people comparing it with a Corolla or Honda Civic or Accord. grin grin grin They don't belong to the same class.
Not a problem for me, as long as i and a lot of others find them equal to the task then all is well.

Miss Nigeria is only one person and every one can't marry her, 99% of prospective suitors will surely end up with the other contestants and in their individual eyes, their chosen one is "Miss Nigeria"

Relax bro, with time, even you will find yourself behind the steering wheel of a Volvo, most car enthusiasts eventually fall, na the 'fuel economy' crew and the 'social correctness' crew dey more difficult to convert

A newbie also, single though, i kinda like Hondas but scared of their "pulling legs". If there are models that are not prone to that problem, which one could it be?.
A budget of 500-550k max.
Just round Lagos and rare occasional trip to neighboring towns.
I'm yet to fully understand you guys, if the only criticism of the honda car are the occasional leg pulls (which is not so frequent anyways, at times takes almost two years to happen), then why run away on the basis of that alone. All cars have their own shit, it also doesnt cost a fortune to fix the pull and move on with your life when it happens, so why the emphasishuh

Always extreme. Anyways I ain't a japmobile pesin. But a German purist!!
You guys always come at me with the very wrong stereotypes and when i hit back, you turn around and say "soft target", "always extreme", etc

My only offence : my love for Volvo

Why is that such an issue for you NL demeanors(attention seekers)

You opened a thread and started with a very false notion about my despise for anything japanese which is totally wrong and all assumed in your head, prove me wrong by showing me five places i said anything showing that despise inside this calendar year

Valarinz your despise for Japanese auto must not follow you into the New Year!!

Dancock strange auto engine fixes must end in 2018!
Lefulefu enough of dragging lalas247...must end this year!
You got it terribly wrong, its expected though cos its typical of an average Nigerian, the fact i love something automatically means i despise the others?

I don't go around NL typing on Japanese car threads and saying bad things about the cars on a regular basis, in fact its you trolls i always attack to leave us volvo lovers in peace, its not by force to love your jap cars.

If you can show me up to five quotes from me this year showing my so-called disdain for Japanese auto on NL, i'll drop an unreserved apology here, else the shame is on you.

NB : Thanks for the recognition though, it simply means the Volvo gospel is spreading fast

Our honour has been defended from the first post on this thread.

The OP first choice is Corolla and since money never complete, his next option (Second Choice) is a Volvo.

When money complete, OP would sell Volvo and go for his first choice.

Let other brand marketing manager and volunteer ambassador of other brands market their brand to the OP.

Peace.

jeraw:
Kindly provide a rebuttal to this post so that we all can learn or better still you can come up with your own list. Thanks.
Hold up a little, i trust a lot of NLers who have time for these lists to come up with something more accurate and applicable to our clime.

MY reasons for calling this list rubbish: Nissan altima? Jeep wrangler? chevrolet silverado?

Even the 1998 - 2004 volvo s40 is cheaper to maintain than all the cars on this list
Car Talk › Re: 8 Of The Cheapest Cars To Maintain by valarinz: 9:32am On Dec 26, 2018
Godspower35:
Below is a list of the eight most economical cars to maintain. It will show you some brands and models that can help you save your budget and your vehicle from higher repair costs.
The technicians intervened to put this list together. And, since people who see cars settle down day after day, they know which ones are the best.

1. Chevrolet Silverado, from 2003 to 2007

With space around the engine, Silverado is easy to work with, so the job is cheaper. Technology is also simple, leading to even cheaper labor. The parts are easy to find. This is the perfect storm for
a cheap car to maintain, and is true for both the V6 and V8 models of this particular car.

2. Honda CR-V, from 1996 to 2016

Honda cars are durable and retain their value, and the CR-V is no exception. The CR-V from 1996 to 2016 had the lowest frequency of "control engine indicator" repairs among all vehicles of the same date range. Less problems, besides the expected duration of the brand, make it a breeze to add to the list.

3. Honda Civic, from 2001 to 2016

Speaking of Honda, the Civic is at the top of the list of cheap vehicles to maintain. Spare parts are not hard to find, parts are readily available when you need them and the car's design makes most repairs easy to perform.
With the progress of the model years, Honda has abandoned some parts with known replacement periods, such as toothed belts. This means that the car lasts longer, with less maintenance.

4. Honda Accord, from 2003 to 2014

Like the last Honda in the list, we cannot emphasize more than these cars are reliable. The models before the 2003 model year were made with a toothed belt. From the 2003 models onwards, the timing belt has been eliminated.
The height of Accord reliability has been in the 2011 and 2012 model years. However, the Honda name virtually guarantees that you will get reliable and efficient performance.

5. Toyota Corolla, 1998 to 2017

Toyota Corolla is one of the most-sold cars in history. Since its launch in 1966, 44.1 million Corollas have been sold. Most of them are still on their way.
As one of the most reliable cars you can buy, the popularity of Corolla and the widespread availability of parts makes it the next car to look at when looking for cheaper maintenance.

6. Toyota Camry, 2008 to 2015


Speaking of Toyota, Camry is another great option. Known for many of the same advantages as the Corolla, the four-cylinder Camry is easy to repair and thus cheaper to maintain.
Combined with the Camry reliability rankings, which was the ideal 5/5 since 2017, the Camry is a classic favorite that requires no maintenance.

7. Jeep Wrangler, 2007 to 2017

Jeep Wranglers are easy and cheap to maintain, because while the engine is modern, the powertrain and suspension are simple. The traditional division of the internal components means that labor does not last long.
Although newer models are not as spacious next to the engine as the older ones, it is still a cheap car to maintain.

8. Nissan Altima, 2008 to 2015

Nissan's 36-month / 36,000-mile limited vehicle coverage and 5-year / 60,000-mile limited power-train coverage make them competitive with other brands. The Altima is easy to maintain when problems occur.
Known for its strong engine and reliability, the Altima will stand the test of time and be cheap to repair if something goes wrong.

thebigkendo:
Volvo {500/950}*100 = 53.63%

Toyota {1.1/1.8}*100 = 61.11%

Toyota wins on resale value.. But somebody like me will now do(Assuming I had the 1.8m for Toyota & ended up buying the 950k volvo instead)

1,800,000 - 950000 = 850,000 change left after buying the toks volvo grin grin

500,000 + 850,000 = 1,350,000 grin grin

Volvo wins for me

I am not even factoring interest I would have made if i invest the 850k change.
Peace of mind.. I can park on any street & sleep well

VOLVO is the winner grin grin

But last last we know say Oga volvo no go gree sell toks 2004 s40 for 950k sha
Why do u say I won't sell S40 toks for 950k, it's even a very good deal for a dealer

Below is a link for an S60 same year spec advertised by me a while back, and we all know the advertised prices are still very much negotiable
