This isn't a nice speech at all you sound as though you've got a beef with guys who argue against Volvo brands .

mayor2013:
I know your type

mayor2013:
It's not as if a world war is about to be unleashed. I just said someone who owns one told me.i have not personally enquired. But I know for sure Volvo parts don't come cheap. If you had being addicted to your basic English you should comprehend better rather than throw insults.why use paracetamol for another man's headache. Kids every where

mayor2013:
Spot this and apply your basic maths. If you need my help I can walk you through the maths

Note: the Volvo rear light was even the cheapest I posted here while the highlander happens to be the highest

Decale:
I wasn't going for something.

It's you who thought you said something. That poor guy must have kept to his highlander from your advice

You should take this professional

mayor2013:
Some few minutes before your response close to my workshop a guy uses the Volvo xc90 2006 we got talking and I asked him what happened to his rear lights. He told me he broke them accidentally and price each a piece for 35k.

Note: the 35k does not cover the upper rear light which is think like in structure. My question goes this: how much is rear light for a Toyota Highlander 05

My ppl from the East stop acting as if ur region is the only place left out in Nigeria. If you want to know how bad Nigeria is journey from kano down to Lagos u will see how Nigeria is. How many railway stations are up to Nigeria standard leave foreign standard now. Only that of Abuja the rest get as E be so we are all together in this stop thinking and believing outside Eastern part the rest region are finding it funny.

Anything u want to term me go ahead am a Yoruba guy and proud to be Lagos, Ibadan, Osogbo even though renovated down to Kano all have abandoned equipments like that so stop painting it as if east is left out of Nigeria.

We won't say much u ppl will start talking Biafra this Biafra that u are not the only one that want a better livelihood but violence and strict agitation sometimes brings pain and sorrow e.g Sudan,Libya, Syria etc sometimes drinking garri in peace is better than taking chicken in fear. Yorubas are not Fools pls we are just conscious

How about we start it this way, take away the emotions and bias. Then do a thorough review from both online and real life owners of the said cars?

Bros, over 80million Americans using Toyotas can't lie or be fooling themselves over and over. Not to even talk about Asians, Europeans, Arabians, Africans, Australians and N. Zealanders. Do the maths.

Check the numbers.

kingreign:
The way you decide your own choice, preference, not my ish. The way i decide my choice not your ish. Besides, no need taking this personal from the tone of your response, you have. You won't stop me from commenting on ANY threads in NL I so decide to comment on.


And one last thing, learn to look at views from a wider perspective without emotional attachments.

Gracias!

An uncle owns a V8 2006 model, I've driven it a couple of times. I know that car quite well. I've ran diagnosis on it, I've done brake works on it. I have had to replace the battery underneath the booth floor. I also have been opportune to see a friend's father's own T6 in Calabar. With the turbo blown and shaft squeaking a lot due to his dad's drivers negligence.

My only grouse with Volvo XC90 is its AWD system why 10% power to rear? What happens to 40-65%power to rear?

EgunMogaji:
I'm seriously looking at in house financing and studying other models in Africa.

By swap do you mean trade in?

kingreign:
On the contrary, I prefer a Lexus or a Honda or Acura to a mainstream Toyota. But, spades for spades, Toyota has been a delightful faithful companion.

EgunMogaji:
Those are of course very good and required items.

I started the thread from the point of view of a startup and not a government agency. Apologies for not been clear.

what's the last it can go for?

kingreign:
having owned a 2003 Toyota highlander 2.4l i4 as a daily car for 4 good years without ANY challenge and then sold it to another person who uses it till date, id tell you the truth, you're about missing a very fine SUV.

Yes, they'll tell you, volvo is strong, volvo is balanced, volvo is opulent, volvo this volvo that.

Lets come to the basics;
1. reliability: highlander wins.

2. Practicality: highlander wins

3. Simplicity: highlander wins

4. Longevity: highlander wins

5. Speed: volvo wins (v8 and T6)

6. Offroad: NIL (highlander has 50/50 split awd system, volvo has 90/10 split awd system. (highlander is better offroad by a little margin due to lack of locking diff)

7. Ease of maintenance: highlander wins clearly.

8. Luxury: depending on trim, both can be a hard fought battle.

9. Safety: volvo has a long safety reputation but highlander has low fatality rates and is also very safe.

Summary, get a lexus if you want opulence but highlander for practicality. Leave the volvo,

Valarinz come and shed crocodile tears i mean shed more light to this query

volvo is rugged

Parts may be scarce at times

Technician know how may be limited

checking online, a complete leg work for highlander is around $420 while a volvo is around $5xx. Looking at both parts, the volvo looks more sturdy than the toyota KYB. If you have gone through a cycle of tokunbo and new suspension parts as i have gone through with toyota, then you will nicely pick a volvo over it. If buying online and importing wont be an issue for you, pick the volvo, if you dont mind gambling on suspension every 6-8months continue with the toyota, though it isnt always so.
