GAZZUZZ:


These models will literarily send you back to the village the BMW's and abuse are 5&6, technical know how is limited, spares are not so popular once the electricals are messed up in most German vehicles, putting it together can be Herculean. I have a friend who buys 2 models of every German vehicle (foreign used) one to use, the other for parts, he litterarily strips anything he needs from the [b]organ donor[\b].

GAZZUZZ:


Ask and you shall receive

GAZZUZZ:


The yeye Gearbox is always misbehaving.

Engine Does not recover from overheating.

GAZZUZZ:


Ask and you shall receive

HOTARIO:
Nice thread. Let me add the Mitsubishi Pajero to the list and its interestingly the most affordable to scoop up, while holding up nicely. It's an underrated champion and a solid work horse with nice manners and street credibility.

Decentdave:
Dear Gazzuz,I want to know the advantage a corolla has over Matrix..as they both have same engine..corolla too expensive for my liking..am thinking of going for matrix..what do u think

kunki90:
Please talk about LEXUS GS 300 (2006 and 2007) and the the GS 350 2009

BestySam:
What do you make of a Naija used FX35 or G35?

Pasmac14:
Sir I'm about getting foreign used 2015 Lexus RX 350. What's my expectations on its performance and common issues.

lereinter:

I doff my hat to you.

Your write-up is superb, comprehensive and educative.




Boss can you talk about Mazda and Nissan as an option to Toyota

peterpeteru:



Please talk about the Sienna series.
Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:


They don't swim very well.

Front Suspension issues are the main Wahala.

The electronic assisted steering rack is always packing up.

GAZZUZZ:


First model 1998-2002

Used Parts are all becoming scarce (the car don de finish)

The 2004-2006 with the 3mz is the current transport champion on Nigerian roads, same engine and transmission as the ES330 (flip to page to to read) sturdy suspension, abused day and night and it peforms.

The 2006-2010 with the 2gr-fe engine, not loved by the transporters as it apparently consumes more fuel, and it requires an engine drop for any major engine job.

2011-date. Those ba3tards built nonsense, the car just long like limo with horrible ground clearance, it did not receive same welcome as it's predecessor, it also has a ₦1m transmission if you do any how. It's the real definition of big for nothing .

This is almost vawulence sir.

Elcapitan0:
How about the Honda with the VCM? Is there a workaround and stress free way to use the engine?
I'm look at the Accord crosstour since the Acura MDX is almost intolerant to our subpar fuel.

dannydevito:
Give insight which would be a better choice the v6 4runner or the v8 4runner, heard the v6 uses timing chain while the v8 uses the timing belt......

Elcapitan0:

This is almost vawulence sir.

Imagine buying 2014 sienna that cannot make it to your house in the village because e too long, meanwhile all your inlaws brought old models and are parked gallantly in the family house

LeJeun3:




The V8 is limited and quite a few of them out there. It's an interference engine and yes it uses a belt.

There are some V6 that use belt too

Choosing between a belt and chain would depend on your maintenance culture. If you pay attention to details and can monitor the 90K miles between changes of belts that's fine.

GAZZUZZ:


Our sudden reality, they are all used cars, just get a good one

Akaza:


Boss pls touch on the 7th gen Accords

GAZZUZZ:


The V6 any day, it's literarily indestructible.
