Oh I see why you want a Toyota so badly. I use and sell too . If you get a car for 2m and after 3 yrs you sel for 1.3 , I think that's good enough.
sacramento1212:
If you are looking at the aspect of resale value, then forget the European brand and stick to your initial choice which is the Toyota because with the Toyota, you still might get up to 80% value even after years of usuage provided you maintained the car well. But that's not the same with European brand that the value will drop and you may struggle to get even 50%.
I want to take you guys up on this resale value of a thing.

When you say resale value, do you also factor-in purchase value?

You buy a 2004 model toyota for 1.7-1.8m toks and after some years you sell for 1.1-1.2m if in perfect condition
You buy a 2004 model Volvo S40 for 900-950k toks and after some years you sell for 500k if in perfect condition

Now can someone explain to me how the corolla has better resale value, or you guys just calculate how much you sold the car and assume all were initially bought at the same price?

I made the first of choice of Corolla due to what others told me about it. I was informed that Toyota Corolla consumes low fuel and easy to maintain.

I have not heard much about Volvo and it will be difficult to choose a first car without seeking the opinions of more experience car owners and drivers.

If you feel I don't deserve your advice because I did not make Volvo my first choice, I will respect your it. I actually wonder how many young Nigerians will choose Volvo or Peugeot as their first car if they were not advised about it. In this era of social media, I think our buying decision is highly influenced by the reviews and suggestions of others.

Not choosing Volvo as my first car is due to the limited information I have about it. That also necessitated this thread in order for Volvo gurus like you to give me more orientation about it. Though I will appreciate if you have a rethink and give your highly valuable advice regarding Volvo especially in fuel consumption, reliability, and maintenance cost.

I will also be following your threads to see when you post a Volvo S60 like what I saw here https://www.nairaland.com/4848864/upgraded-s60-sale-very-clean

I really love what I saw in that thread and most responses here have also adviced me to get S60 which I will highly consider.

Finally, let me appreciate those that have made contributions so far and those yet to make. You will be helping a young Nigeria entrepreneur make the best decision regarding his first car purchase. Even though I have not bought the car yet, I can feel it in my "Spirit" already smiley.
If you felt aggrieved about my response, then sorry about that. I always don't like beating around the bush so i had to go straight to the point. If you'll make your decision based on what majority of people will say, then just save us all the stress and buy the corolla.

Besides, anything i say will most likely sound like the ramblings of a salesman eager to make a sale, you know i'll always favor the volvo over others.

But if after everything, you still decide to go for a volvo, then 08032897486, if you're not buying from me, i could also assist with pre-purchase inspection

His first choice is corolla, hes's only looking the way of a volvo car because he feels he has no money yet, meaning that whilst in the process of negotiations something positive happens to his account, its still off to corolla.

I think what the fellow needs is some sort of assistance to meet up with his dream corolla ride, volvo cars are not leftovers, volvo cars should come first choice to you, else just settle for the car you love.

cool

At Cross Road Between Volvo S60 & Nissan Altimaç
Hi house, I'm planningL of getting a Nigerian used every car that I will be driving to office. I love Nissan Altima 2008-2009 model 2.5 because of the luxury but I have read lately that the car is often confronted with CVT transmission issue which is now making me to have a rethink.

Now as an alternative, I'm now looking at Volvo S60 2006-2008 model.

What is your take on this? Do you think I should still go for the Nissan Altima or I should opt for the Volvo S60 for peace of mind?. Thanks.
Have you made your decision yet?

Wrong, many of you shed bucket loads of tears and also reminded us of how lonely, subtle and overly low key our event was.

MadamExcellency:
South Korea, Japan, Germany and Israel are technically Western Countries by virtue of being Ist World but Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, Guatamala are not although in same Americas with USA.

Western means civilization not geography
What are you saying madam, conveniently diverting the discussion to irrelevant nomenclature just to further confuse your ignorant customers.

All those products are "China" products based on your China classification, LG, Samsung, huawei, are all chinko products just same as polystar, hisense and so on

Agreed or not?

lol, I dey market and I can tell you virtually everything about all these products u mentioned, polystar, hisense, djavk,hisonic etc are very much useless and toks can even better them at times not just the output the sad thing is their spare parts are not readily available in market, bros so u just left stranded when ur HiFi suddenly develops a little error.oh enjoy ur HiFi sir or next time patronize us to get you a mind blowing item abi na the 150k wey u buy am dey excite you,
What exactly is it you can tell about the products. I bought a brand new polystar tv from jumia 8yrs ago and till date, still using it.

It will be fine if you stop demarketing other peoples product cos u want to sell your own, you'll never go far with that attitude
