Good evening guys.

I just got this honda civic 2008 model, I was using accord 2004 model before.

But after I bought it. I started to hear various scary talk about how very costly it is to maintain a civic, how the parts are costly and all.

Please I just want to know if that assertion is true. And what maintenance tips do you advice.

Now tell me
What has been your experience?

ksmart027:
You budget wouldn't get you a naija used Corolla.

But should get a good Honda Civic 2004-06 I guess

How much can one budget for Nigerian used Honda Civic 2004 or 2005?

Looking out for under 40k phone

Stick with your health sector.
Guys that are salivating at his 230k gross pay on CONHESS 11 should note that it takes about 10yrs for a graduate to get to that level after entering into civil service.

It's still a good job when compared with some other agencies especially core ministry

Please is FTI ( federal Teacher Institution recruiting presently, and how can some one apply please).

Don't have an idea but what we're discussing is conversion of federal civil servants in other agencies to education officers (teachers in federal Govt colleges)

Bolt is paying, but I don't know about uber and I don't care. Don't delve into uber as a newbie to ehailing and a newbie to Lagos, else you chop konkiri. Since you've made up your mind to sell your car and start the business you're well aware will net you sure 200k monthly, go ahead and sell it. Then save up from that business and buy a small Kia Rio or Honda city as time goes on. Both are less than 900k. You'll realize you have 2 businesses running and have an alternative to fall back on if need be. Ehailing is not running.

Are Honda City parts readily available like the Civic and Accord counterparts?

The need for a good quality photo has placed a high demand on phones with high spec cameras.

There are many young people that acquire phones for only one purpose which is taking pictures and wouldn't mind the price, providing it delivers sharp and good quality pics.

Here are some of the best phones for photography. You can mention as many as you know in the comment, or share your experience with the ones you've used.

You have a good taste for cars but unfortunately, your budget doesn't have the same tastes as you.

Just buy 2007 Toyota corolla or Honda civic and continue to save up until your budget matches your taste.

Is 2006 Honda Civic a good car?

I posted this in January 2020....as at today I've spent over 900k on repairs accidents and mechanical issues. Car is milking me badly . Read

How I spent over 2.6 million on a car that gets me sad, embarrassed and frustrated. Now I am getting depressed…

Last year 22 June is one day I can't easily forget. I just got myself a Toyota Camry 2007 for my 25th Birthday. I bought the car for 1.8m from a very good friend of mine (8 years together). He buys and sells used and foreign (tokunbo) cars although not a certified dealer. He drove the car down to my loc and I accessed the car I was shocked as it was far from what I expected. On inspecting the car, I was not so impressed, despite having a california plate number like heck this shit supposed be better than i anticipated. The sound of the car was too noisy, the vibrations from the dashboard, the windscreen cracked (about 28inches), the interior a bit neat but the sound system to the gear lever area was not so neat. I began to doubt the prize of the car but we already negotiated at 1.8m. I asked if this car is okay, he affirmed that it is and can't sell a problem to his brother.

I drove the car out to look for a car diagnosing company but it was a rainy day had to come back not being able to get a car company to check the car. The car consumes fuel a little bit more than conventional 4 plugs and it raised further doubt about the roadworthiness of the car but what do I know car was moving although skips when entering gear 3. I didn't know much about all this as overtime I didn't put the discipline of owning a car with this being my second car am so ashamed. Went back home I asked my friend what's wrong with the car he affirmed again that nothing is wrong. A month later I started noticing oil stain where I park. I bent over and saw oil dripping my heart almost skipped while this is a small issue (I knew this later) I trembled…this car is just a month old. I spent 31k fixing this shit cos I was too busy to inspect the repairs. A week later the same issue occurred. This was getting too much.

This got me sad and mad and I was already regretting the choice of getting a car. I later opted for a car company (My worst mistake). Oil seal was fixed 4 times in 7 months oil keeps dripping from the engine. Between this period the car abruptly stops on the road and sometimes won't even start after parking. I suffered all this with a faulty steering pump which causes the steering to be stiff. Some car companies aren't trustworthy and won't likely be the solution to your car problems...but they got my car moving each time it breaks down and I paid the exorbitant cost for minor repairs for fear of this roadside mechanics. The drill continued and I kept repairing and kept paying. The worst happened in March this year when I had a hit with a reckless driver. The bonnet bent a little and bumper beyond repair. I painted the car after 11 days. I told a panel beater working with the painter to bring the car home for me on reaching close the car stopped. Suffered to get it home as the car keeps draining charged batteries.

The next day I called the car company to come take the car for checks and possible repair. The next day I was told the engine has to be ringed that it's not the alternator. Bill of 169k for everything. I opted for a new engine (2AZ and was billed 300k for everything by the same company). I also bought shaft for both legs (55k). The former engine I was told is now scrapped and would be sold for a small amount (I left it for them). The car was with them for about 7 weeks as I wasn't around. When the car was out, AC no longer working. I called and was told the compressor is bad and needs to be changed. Why me! Bill 148k Like my God what have I done...? I spent 96k to fix AC (I had to call someone else from the neighboring state). I discovered that the AC had been fixed before and resulted to change most of the AC components. had to rethink this whole spending, right now my windscreen is bad can't see well when it's raining, my headlamp bad not bright, my exhaust very noisy unwanted sound from the manifold and consumes fuel, the legs need to be checked again (camber bushing or what do they call it) and interior needs fixing. Other issues although not certain is the suspension.
After penning my frustration in this piece Nairaland kept banning me from uploading…I gave up trying. The worst right now my gear doesn't select after a journey of 112km to and fro where I base. I need to share this experience so people can learn from this.
The estimate for expenses carried out so far on repairs so far should be over 850k in one year (major repairs: New Engine + Shaft 355k, AC 96k, Legs [fixed twice] 64K {break pads, hub, tie rod, bushing etc}) (minor repairs: oil seal repair 4 times around 80k (new oil every time to put a new oil seal), Nozzle + Plugs + Fan + Key starter 44k, Exhaust (net) 10.4k. Others: painting 60k and panel beating 15k. (all of this excluding gear) Bought tires several times as they keep peeling off from bad alignment although Belgium tires. There are others I can't remember right now. All this excluding fuel. I honestly can't continue like this. Cars been parked for 4 months now. I cant kill myself

Am sad cry

Unfortunately, you overlooked the early signs....
Just take a decision on what to do with the car and do it but in my opinion, the car already gave you enough pains than you deserve. Just do away with it

400k then

I work with a federal medical centre as an administrative staff on CONHESS 11 that is equivalent to grade level 12.

I recently found this request from office of the Head of Civil Service of the federation, for officers willing to make the switch to federal teachers institute.

My gross salary is about 230,000 naira.

Please does anybody have idea what the salary of a grade 12 worker in the Federal teachers institute is, and please advice.

Even me that earn much less as level 12 in another agency isn't sure I want to apply for that education stuff. I actually studied education but I'm not sure I want to move

The show can never be better than football. I tag it a show of immortality, imagine a married woman having her nipples sucked all in the name of what? The show has no moral values at all.

I expected Lai Muhammed to ban the useless program but it seems it serving the purpose of distracting the Youths from attacking them hence they allowed it

This is the height of it.
1998 Nigerian used and over used motor for 1 million?
I mean 1,000000 naira

Once I mention Honda,the way people quickly say a big NO. I began to fear. They always mention suspension and costly to fix. Is the Honda Civic really Good?

On timing belt, they said if I get Belgium,it lasts more than a year and Belgium is 10k . For a beginner, which do u clearly recommend

That's the same thing they tell me about Honda but my spirit is with Honda Civic 06-09.
Let me put my house in order first before I make up my mind

olamide34:
I'm having the same issue right now. I'm have been trying to renew my passport. It has not been possible because of NIn issue.
When i did enrollment for NiN at first, the bank where i did registration use my bVN to register instead of using the details i gave them now, they did not add my middle name. I only have two name there, while on my passport i had the name complete.

I have gone for name remodification at Alausa, but up till now it hasn't changed.

What do you think i should do? Or If you have any contact there, i wouldn't mind if you can share it with me privately.

Thank you so much in advance.

Aaaaarghmed:
it helps you cultivate a good maintainance culture.in Nig esp we base our judgment most times on what people say rather than doing our findings and making a conclusion.i was advised not to get a honda by a mech on nairaland,I went ahead and it is the best decision I made.i never touch engine or gear for 3 years plus and am on my 3rd honda car.i will sell and get anoda honda before year end.its a good car,dont let anyone tell you otherwise.toyota is good too.but I prefer honda

Personally, I like the smart look of Civic.
I may consider a Nigerian used 05 Civic when I'm ready.
