Digatron:
Good day gurus in the house. I need advise on choosing an SUV. Budget is 3m to 3.5m
Key point: reliability, easy to maintain, RUGGEDNESS and high resale value.
Am having in mind lexus rx300 2003, Acura mdx 2006, Honda pilot 2006 but still open to any recommendation.

Buy better car, leave scrap for who get am.

dryakson:
Please can someone tell me why is this Peugeot cheap. Is there any factory defects or errors?

It's a 2014 Peugeot 508

Cheap, how much is the asking price. Though I haven't heard of any known defect about the 508, naija used retails around 5m now

dryakson:
Sorry for the misinformation. The woman actually bought it 3.7m, Nigerian used.
I thought it was Tok.... The car clean like Tok. I later asked her.
But still, it's not that expensive like the likes of Lexus, Benz... Considering the caliber of the car

nurey:


Car price in Nigeria is not by caliber. A VW passat and Audi A6 are more loaded than a camry but camry is more expensive in value than them.

The 508 must have been bought brand new In Nigeria and was official vehicle of top Gov workers so its expected for it to be well maintained and still in mint condition with all things being equal.

Muyesky:
Hello house, please help look at the oil stain under this es350. Can I conclude that it is the oil for the car? A colleague of mine also pointed to the tyre marks on the oil, claiming it is definitely from another vehicle. What do you think please?

9icetoo:

The oil on the ground is the least of your worries. That chassis is severely bent.

Go to a car stand and buy your car. Perform due diligence.

Or give this car buying thing to someone who knows what he is doing.

Clearing won't be child's play a month from now.

The government is about to make millions of money for people out of nothing.

Smart dealers would have taken all their cars off the lot for now and pray government goes ahead with the e valuation.

banky3w:

And they will be shooting themselves in the leg. The struggling masses won’t be able to afford the cars anymore and they stay on the lot for ages and that will be their loss!

Bros are you sure you're in this country? People will shout and protest a couple of weeks and it will all be forgotten. Everyone will readjust and life goes on.

Someone even opened a thread on it sometime ago. Here is it below.

lagusboyyy:
Prices of cars in Nigeria are not determined by Luxury and Quality,only DEMAND.

How can you explain the juju that made a 2004 basic Toyota Corolla to be expensive than a 2008 BMW 3 series?

Nigeria is a funny country. So the price of the car should not amaze you,its not in demand.
Once the ride is ok,you better buy it.

9icetoo:

Cement used to be 2300. It is now more than double of that. People still dey buy am dey build house.

Diesel was 320 to 360 at the start of the year. It is now 630. People are still buying it.

Everybody go adjust. That's how it works.

dryakson:
I get it now. And I hate that Corolla of a thing.

banky3w:

You see the people buying them but do you see the people that are supposed to be buying them? You have no idea how many people would have been building if cement were still sold 2300.
I will tell you that a typical dealer that sells 4-5 cars a month will now struggle to sell 2 or 3 in the same time period.
Then if your capacity was to buy you a 2010 Lexus now and the capacity is now able to afford a 2004 Lexus. Won’t you buy what your capacity can carry if you really need a car? What then happens to the 2010 Lexus in the lot you were originally supposed to buy?

Itsrm:


Someone who is supposed to to buy a 2015 will buy the 2010

HeavenlyBang:


I'd go with the Lexus. There's nothing wrong with the Q50, though.

NoManDares:

Just choice? There’s no specific difference. The infiniti looks more modern in a way

Lol, not sure where you got this information. Go price a 2012 A6 and Camry and get back to us.
