A Nigerian whose moniker on Twitter is @Otunbakush1 listed twenty four (24) cars Nigerians “should never buy” because their problems can’t be fixed except when you take it back to the company. In this post, we’re going to quote what he wrote on Twitter. He stated the problems the various cars came with. NB: Please, what you’re about to read is the opinion of @Otunbakush on Twitter and not that of Autojosh. Below are the 24 cars he listed and the reasons why you should never buy them. 1. Land Rover 3 (LR3): First on the list of cars you should never buy is the LAND ROVER 3 (LR3), about 27million pieces was recalled months after production, and trust me millions Don enter 9ja. It might look rugged but, the issues, Transmission, engines, brakes, electrical and so on, it’s can go off anytime on motion, and u will need a mechanic to open d engine right on the spot. The brakes ain’t trust worthy cos it fails anytime, oil leaking into the engine errors. You will keep visiting the mechanic, and dey will keep collecting money from you, this errors can only be fixed by Landrover themselves, less I forget, d brake disk, and lining has sensors, and dey fail repeatedly, so u fit Match brake and ẹ no catch…you Don die be that. 2. 2015 Mercedes Benz C300: No 2, Mercedes Benz C300 ( 2015) All model of this car was recalled due to fire, you can park and it will still catch fire, u can be on motion and it will catch fire, reasons?, fuel leaking into d engine, no Nigerian mechanic can fix it, you have to return it back to d company. 3. 2005 Nissan Pathfinder: No 3 Nissan Pathfinder 2005 Transmission problem, you can ask anybody using this car, dey have changed gear box like 1million times, major figures of this suv was recalled, failed alot of test, but still found its way to Nigeria, gear can hook OK motion and can lead to accident. Airbag problem, you can be driving, if u enter big porthole, d airbags will activate and boom on ur face, almost all of this car accident is caused by the airbag pulling on drivers face, avoid it at all cost. 4. 2002/2003 Nissan Xterra: No 4, Nissan Xterra 2002/2003 Run from this car, it was a test project before it was been released Engine (60%) Transmission and Drivetrain (0%) Brakes and Traction Control (7%) Suspension and Steering (14%) Electrical and Air Conditioning (18%) Paint, Rust, Leaks, Rattles etc You can speed to 100mph, at 70mph it starts shaking, at 80mph it shakes hard, at 100, accident, it will overturn by itself, if u no die, na God’s grace, if u die u go explain for heaven wetin kill you, avoid it. 5.

Airbag failure also Avoid d 2009 model. 7. 2010 BMW X6: BMW X6 2010 MODEL BMW recalled all of this model, but they only got 30% of it. Engine problem Fuel hose problem Now let’s focus on electrical problem, once the problem starts u will know, ur dashboard will be messed up, car won’t move again, now, it will affect d engine. Since it’s electrical, it sends light back into d engine switch and damages d major part of it, u will need to replace that engine, now 9ja rewire go just do shady work, and dat thing will repeat itself…so don’t buy it. 8. Volkswagen Touareg: Volks Touareg, this suv’s problem is legendary and it’s one of the top cars you should never buy, I will just outline d major ones, Transmission Brakes Sensor failure Water finding it’s way mixing with oil, and straight into d engine (Knock) Power steering failure, u fit dey drive make ẹ hook, u Don die be that. 9. 2008 Audi Q5: Audi Q5 2008 Avoid diesel engine, na die.

Unfortunately most naija people hardly do any research before buying used cars. A person would just tell a car dealer to get him a "neat, grade 1 tokumbo direct", without bothering to do even simple Vin check on the car. Even on YouTube you will see car gurus like scotty Kilmer giving useful car tips, but naija people wont give a damn. I know a man who bought Nissan Murano jeep and never enjoyed that car at all. I dont know the millions he wasted on the damn thing, but he wouldn't have bought it in the first place if he had done a little research. From the agony the man went through, I almost concluded that Nissan Murano must be among the worst cars ever made. Later I got to know that the issue with nissan murano had to do with the problematic CVT transmission. Infact because of the issue with the transmission nissan discontinued a particular murano model, but people were ignorantly buying its tokumbo here as graded. 195 Likes 15 Shares |

No wonder people are selling their range rovers for 2m plus on jiji. For me Toyota camry 06 is peace of mind personified. The car doesn't stress me at all.Very low fuel consumption and durable engine. I just service it once in 3-5 months, do wheel balancing and alignment.. Shikena. I have never had to buy any part for the car since January. 97 Likes 4 Shares |

I'm sure the Twitter guy is a mechanic. Anything you do, avoid Mazda cx-7,that car was made by the devil himself A friend of mine drove his own into a pothole and the car started smoking. That was how the car got burnt to ashes at the spot. The only thing he removed from the car is his phone 80 Likes 7 Shares |
