hello all,

i have about 600-700k and i want to buy a nice Tokunbo ride.


i have these cars in mind, its my first car so i am not sure which to pick.

but i want a car that doesnt consume too much fuel, reliable. i like Toyota but they are too expensive

Nissan Altima 2005
Pontiac Vibe
Peaguot 307
Honda City or Civic 2000-05.

if you have any car around 600-700k please mail me blowjanet@gmail.com

Go for low end Toyotas like Camry 1997-2001

Remove the Pug from your list. Not for you. Nigerian technicians are still struggling to have a grasp of it.

The Vibe is Toyota Matrix with another badge. If you get a tokunbo one for that price, I think will be good

The altima is a very good and powerful car but you wll soon create a thread asking about fuel economy. The Primera or Almera (wth engine sizes 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0) of similar year is my biggest recommendation for you.
Congratulationson your car.

Have a 307 for sale contact is in my profile.

Thanks all for the advice. How much for your peaguot although someone has already advices to stay away from it.

I want to get a Nigerian used Camry 2.4 for 600.

Read too many bad reviews about Nissan Altima 05 and Nissan cars generally but the price is right 700/750.

Pontiac vibe is 800-900k. Not the way to go I guess. Read a lot of positive reviews but with that amount al get a better car.


Any other offers and advice please

Why not save up to 900k and buy a tokunbo honda babyboy? The ride is cool.

Buying a naija used car may look cheap now, but may soon start spending on repairs every now and then.

Hello poster, I was in your shoes few weeks back but I've managed to arrive at a decision. Here is my advice, to make the decision easier for you. Why do you want to buy a car now (to show off or for convenience). As your first car, you do not want a car that will be expensive to maintain or that will be taking you to the mechanics every now and then (if you are able to buy a cheap Nigerian used). I'd suggest you go for tokunbo of either Toyota corolla(1999-2000) model or a Honda civic(1999-2001) model(you can research the two cars or other cars).
I did extensive reviews on these two cars and find out they are both okay to maintain although folks told me to be weary of the Honda (steering issue).

Forget about buying a Nigerian used. Except you are buying from a known associate or relative. If you buy from a stranger, even if then person had changed the engine or gear box etc they will not tell you.

Give yourself peace of mind and buy a decent tokunbo.

I have this on offer for 820k if you can add smtyn to your budget
My number08037723477. It was aqquired factory mint used for work mostly still at 82k mileage

I'd advise you not to buy a car that has been used in Nigeria though. Nigerians have bad maintenance culture and you will not enjoy the car.

WanaG: I'd advise you not to buy a car that has been used in Nigeria though. Nigerians have bad maintenance culture and you will not enjoy the car.

If you got a car you paid with money and don't maintain it its personal not nigerian- its personal. You ll know a well maintained when you see one

I do not encourage anyone to buy a car used in Nigeria, especially in lagos, but there are extenuating circumstances. I once bought a Lagos used Nissan Bluebird. The owner lived in 1004 flats and worked at Oceanic Bank on Ozumba Mbadiwe. He was a conc. born again, so i knew he was not doing VI-Mainland runs for parties. Years after i bought the car, my mechanic kept reminding me that if i ever needed to sell the car, he was more than willing to buy. I eventually gave it out as a gift to my cousin upon graduation. He is still using the car more than 4 years after.

My point is, you may be able to get a decently used Nigerian car but check the history of the car and the owner very well, otherwise, a tokunbo is still far better.

All the best in your search.

Lmfao if it's a classic foreign,then yes bet No,Nigerian Road

chukux2: 5 long weeks! That’s what it took me to sell off my car which I had to dispose due to high maintenance cost. 5 desperate weeks within which I learnt a whole lot of sales, marketing and general car gimmicks.

So here’s the deal: You’ve got a small budget, say 200-500k and you want to buy a used car that’d not disappoint you; no legal issues or mechanical worries etc And you don't really have the time or expertise to handle the task yourself.

For a small fee of 20k let me help you scout on and offline…Nairaland,Olx,Tradestable etc and do the inspection plus bargaining. All you’d then have to do is show up for final inspection, pay and pick up.

Let’s help each other out; let me be your middle man that gets all the dirty stuff done and out of the way. Buzz me: 08114611455, BBM: 7f5f39d1

Wow your marketing skills have really improved .bet NO thanks.i got peeps that can do this for free and they didn't start 5 weeks ago. Thanks bro

GAZZUZZ:
