Good day fellow nairalanders.
I want to buy a low cost car. This is my first time I want to own a car, so am contempleting on going for Toyota Corolla 2004 or Toyota Matrix 2004.
Pls which of this cars is advisable for me to go for as a first timer and what are the challenges of each of them.
Thanks for your advice.

They are quite similar/ identical vehicles, you wouldn’t go wrong with any of them, quite reliable if they’ve been previously maintained by whoever used them.
A bad note about both vehicles is they are prone to theft or being broken into.
Another note is they are older vehicles so must of them have a higher mileage, now that isn’t bad but there might be one or two things you might need to do to put in shape

Thanks

It’s a bit better, (referring to the latter models)
Your best bet would be to get a car tracking system in place

Thanks for your response. Latte models from what year? Cars are too expensive nowadays 😫

At least get a 2010 with the 2ar engine, they’re much better than the 2007-2009 model.
If not stick with the 07-09

Good to know.
Thanks a lot. It really help.

Do you (or anyone) know the fair price (range) of Camry 2010, 2010, and 2012?
