Corolla 2005 or2007. Dnt think twice

chucky234:
Don't mind AutosBay, Toyota if serviced or maintained with OEM parts are the most expensive cars to maintain.
Corolla is rated the second cheapest car to maintain behind Honda Fit in North America where there are good roads with no potholes but certainly not in Nigeria with our God forsaken roads.

take on bottle for my head. I can't buy Toyota for anything with my money.

Toyota corolla sports.

tortoise car cos is very cool

Hey Everyone. What's the best car (brand and model) to buy with N1.5m. Pls give answers with good reasons. Thanks.

Bross get a clean EOD shikena

go buy KEKE nape. u will love it

There are a lot of nice cars you can buy for 1.5m naira. Go to dubai.dubizzle.com and find a car that is 500 to 600k less your budget ( the balance you can use for shipping and clearing).

After you find the car look for Justi4jesu, she is a nairalander and lives in dubai. She will send the car to Nigeria for you. Dats her job.

You will have a better car and more value for your money!

Pay me 5% for consultancy!!!

I will go for Toyota/Vibe Pontiac. Fuel economy normal for average Nigerian, good speed acceleration , It's a good car hardly will you know any mechanic or electrician .. And a good service can last up to 3-4 month.

Can someone educate me more of the Honda Accord known variously as "Anaconda" or "Evil Spirit". What year range is it? What's the cost? There are some models that have taillights on the booth (close to the number plates) while others don't. What's the difference? Maintainability? The entire works. Thanks guys

Peugeot 406 Is also good and resilien.. Has a good fuel economy, Good speed acceleration, maintenance do not cost much for it hardly develops fault and it has good shock absorbers.

Benz C-class 4matic. Period!

koluray:

Forget Honda cars, Garages will be your second house and Your mechanics number will be on a speed daily. (Talking from experience)

Whatever you do, stay away from Nissan Altima 2.5S (2002model). This vehicle almost killed me with series of complaints...especially electrical; including the fact that it has not ABS!

I have been breathing fresh air since I sold it and got myself a 2006 Toyota Corolla (Bank Type). No sweat at all.

My 2 cents.

How much is Toks of the 2006 corolla?

2005 toyota corolla and 2005 honda accord(EOD) their are strong car to buy.

Get a healthy horse, U dont need to buy fuel, it only eat grass.

@OP, you didn't specify whether you'd want a brand new car or Tokunbo car.

But based on the amount you have (#1.5m), There're very few brand new cars you can get, so your choices are rather limited to the likes of Volkswagen Golf, Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10, etc

However, if you're talking about Tokunbo vehicles, you also have to consider the fact that prices have gone up due to the increase in tariffs and exchange rates. You also need to decide if he want Tin Can Island cleared(more expensive, but no police or custom hassles) vehicle or Cotonou (cheaper, but risky). That being said, my opinion....

1. Toyota Corolla 2003-2009model are good, especially if it's your first car. They're rather easy to maintain (fuel efficient and spare parts). However, like someone already pointed oh, avoid the 'Sports editions'.

2. Toyota Camry 2003-2006(Big Daddy). Also good for beginners, for same real as corolla above.

3. Honda Accord (End of Discussion): not so suitable for a beginner cos it might be more complicated, but a very good car nonetheless.

Other products like Volkswagen Bora, Passat, Jetta, etc can also be gotten at that price range.

Lexus 330 also.

Mercedes Benz C-class too.

I don't know much about Nissan products.

However, whatever your choice, I'd rather you go for a V-4, rather than a V-6 or V-8 car, for fuel consumption and maintenance pueposes.

Ciao.....

Go for the toyota corolla 2004 model. It costs about 1.5mill. Its very economical, gots swags, portable, has second value should incase you decide to resell. If you are in lagos axis (festac) my bro owns an auto shop, if you are interested, he can show you some of his.
