Don't bother, your budget can't get any of the cars in pristine condition.

Alright.

Thanks for the input.

RAV4 would be cheaper to maintain in the long run.

Both vehicles are almost identical but the CRV is better interior wise and build compared to the RAV4. The K24 in the crv is better but more expensive than the 2az or 1az in the RAV4.

I doubt if 1.3m can get you a good naija used 07 CRV. Probably you meant the 2ndngen CRV which was 02 to 06 model years.

Many thanks.

Will look more to the Rav4 then.

Please i need advise on which to choose between rav4 2005 model and crv 2007 model. All Nigerian used but to be checked by a competent mechanic.

My budget is 1.3M and it's going to be our first car but to be used by wifey. But i want a reliable and maintenance friendly 4 cylinder cuv/suv that will not give her headache and best value for money.

Other choices could be suggested but should be a 4 cylinder SUV due to Naija road.

Budget could be adjusted slightly if need be.
