Unless you are really knowledgeable about the marquees or a mechanic who can personally handle a spanner with dexterity... I will advise you to avoid the following vehicles:

1. Peugeot 607 V6 plus automatic transmission. I won't explain.
2. BMW series whatever series either series a, series b to z. Especially automatic transmission models.
3. Landrover Freelander... Designed by the devil assembled by monkeys.. left factory for showroom with over 200 known faults... Avoid like leprosy!
4. Audi A4 Allroad... I will leave this for kingreign...
5. Nigerian used Nissan Murano... With wires hanging out in the engine bay...in fact all Nissan cars with the slightest sign of abuse..
6. Add yours as led and experienced or known.

so this one finally said something sensible today.

Not by force to log into your toolbox.... Don't take it personal... it's just a matter of principle... and discipline.

Lest I forget... Jeep Grand Cherokee... Naija used... Your village People will be happy... please avoid if you cannot verify if it has been abused by previous owners.

Which golf model?

King0071:

Did Something similar May this year with my Toyota Corolla Verso.
The car came with an MMT gear box system commonly known as Clutch-gear or automanual by mechanics.
The model has a default problem, when you hav used it for over 2 year and long distance(lets say 8k km) it starts to disengage from E to N by itself.
Managed to fix it temp last year but had to completely change the gear box to full auto of corrollla. Other tins such as cable, brainbox and other weldings had to be done. I spent approx 200k. My mech was really good.
Since then, i hv really been enjoying the car smoothly.

I think some cars are just better for 9ja roads. But its always safer to get a car that the mechanics around can handle if ever the need.
In this Buharis Regime, nobody needs a car that will be a liability.
Good topic at OP.

Thanks

Avoid ANY car that is equipped with air suspension, or hydraulic suspension, all known as "Baloon" in Nigeria.

Mercedes cars made after the year 2000 lead the pack of offenders who created this demonic technology, and when it breaks down, be prepared to pay more than the cost of the entire car, just to fix the suspension.

Chevrolet Aveo (except brand new)

Op, I believe the Landrover Freelander had closer to 400 faults and was designed by Nigerian kazeems (the devil is innocent on this one). It was described as the worst car ever assembled on a website I visited some years ago, they went into a partnership with Honda to create that SUV but pulled out suddenly without getting the basic technicalities right hence that monster (and it led to the birth of the Crv eventually)

For those complaining about air suspension in cars (balloon) if you get mind, you can remove them and fit in shock absorbers, works like a charm

Avoid anything bugatti as their fuel economy isn't friendly, at high speed you have to buy fuel every 20 minutes.

Avoid anything Rolls-Royce as its a thug magnet and flirt magnet. You get flirt from the opposite sex at any free contact. You can't Park in peace as hoodlums would mob you begging for this and that.

Avoid anything Bentley as the parts are not readily available. Even a mud flap plastic bolt has to be booked a Month from the manufacturer.

Avoid anything Lamborghini, the ground clearance is too low, any even road would hit the under continously.

Avoid anything Ferrari as the color is mostly red, people would say you got blood on your hands.

Avoid anything Porsche as it scares people away from you and they always feel you are pompous.

Please stay away from the massarati Marque the electronic technicalities in that car is for future generations.

To those of you who will ask if I have used all these cars, the answer is...

I met a guy in Kaduna who claimed to have changed the engine and gear box of his Nigeria used Murano to that of Siena. According to him, it's been cool. @op what's your take?
