Sanefellow: The Corolla is not a bad choice, despite all the negative opinions you may see. There's a reason why it's one of the best selling passenger vehicles not just in Nigeria, but worldwide. However, your stated budget may not be adequate for a 2003+ Tokunbo Toyota Corolla, prices have recently generally been on an upward trend. Comparable alternatives are the 2006+ Civic (Underrated in our environment but highly capable, and would be closer but still slightly above your stated budget), and the Elantra. Regarding the history, specs, etc, CarGuideNG provides comprehensive reports which include everything you would need to know about any vehicle to make a purchase decision or to arrange for further physical inspection. https://www.carguide.ng 234-701-111-6171 Available via WhatsApp. Direct chat link on the website (under construction) , or in the signature below this post.

Sanefellow: Truth is 2.3m may not get you a good corolla. Unless you want to to buy the 1999 to 2002 model. Consider buying a Honda civic. Your budget can afford it and it doesn't suffer that legendary Honda leg pull. 1 Like |

Grupo: Things are really bad oo ...if 2.3m cannot by 2004 corolla |
Re: About Buying My First Car, I Need Professional Advice by demolagilbert: 9:37pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
Dozieson:serzly bro?? lol..E don tey no be today. To OP if you have your eyes set on the corolla, then as has been stated get more money for your desired car. However if you are looking for something far more recent and far more elegant, I have a 2010 Honda Civic listed on my profile. A little upping of your budget can seal the deal. Shalom! |

Re: About Buying My First Car, I Need Professional Advice by Grupo(m): 7:17am On Oct 13, 2021 |
Sanefellow: Yes. You can find camry for that price. But remember that Corolla is more fuel efficient than camry. Also, you may consider Toyota matrix, which is just like corolla in a different body. 1 Like |

Go for Toyota avensus,many have not known how efficient the car is in fuel consumption.. I used the 1999 model and honestly I enjoy so well that I don't know why Nigerians are not buying the car like they go for corrola |
Re: About Buying My First Car, I Need Professional Advice by 9icetoo(m): 6:57am On Oct 15, 2021 |
Sanefellow:Your budget can't even get a non salvaged or accidented one not to talk of non accidented. Unless of course duty wasn't paid. You may need to up your budget or go for similar cars such as Honda civic or Toyota matrix, Pontiac vibe etc. These three have wonderful fuel economy and are all easy to maintain. |
