There is no doubting the Ninth generation (E120, E130 ) Toyota Corolla is Nigeria's best selling vehicle, it is a car you will find on every street in the country.


It is rugged

It is easy fix

Easy to maintain

Excellent fuel economy

Excellent resale value after decades of use.



Sadly with the introduction of E-valuation (age restrictions) this very reliable vehicle will soon disappear from our lands as foreign used cars.

Currently a used 2006/7 goes for about ₦3.3-3.5m

In a few days prices will reach 3.6-3.7m (new tarrif)

I am just thinking out loud, our very own innoson could buy up patent and production lines for this discontinued vehicles and I am certain there is a ready market to absorb and possibly export to other African countries brand new units of this vehicle.

Just thinking out loud.

Eriokanmi:
True. Corolla body don turn plastics finish, not good for our terrain cos not every Nigerian road looks like the new alimosho or lekki roads. I hate their new models.

I wish Peugeot could be resuscitated. It still baffles me how we got to this point as a nation.

E go be

Affordability is the thing

drmuchin:
Gazzuzz you mean the engine can still be produced brand new?

ednut1:
Why are we so addicted to suffering in Nigeria. The 2022 Corolla rocks with many modern features

Jerrysmallz:
If you buy push to start make sure you buy faraday key fob protector. Put your key inside at night and put am for your microwave. That way no transmission of radio waves for thieves to steal your car.

That method of theft is old sch now.

They literarily reprogram blank fob in 5mins. All they need to do is open the door

drmuchin:

Miyachi:


Actually, they do.

GM sold rebadged Corollas under their Geo brand from the late 90's to early 2000s. The Pontiac Vibe is another rebadged Corolla. Toyota is also collaborating with Mazda (I think, the Mazda 2. Toyota sells it as the Yaris ia). They've collaborated with BMW and have their engine in the Supra, the list goes on.

If it is a good enough deal, they'll take it. But I don't think it's going to make any financial sense to them, the market for new cars is Nigeria is a niche one. It's going to be difficult to make it affordable and still make a profit.

GAZZUZZ:


Driving out of most compounds in lagos will be hazardous to a 2014-22 Corolla sports, driving one in ikorodu is a death sentence to the car.


The 2003-8 model has sturdy body parts that don't fall off on slightest impact.

It's not always about how beautiful a car looks, keeping it that way can be an uphill task.

ednut1:
so it’s better to remain in the stone ages because of all this Lmao. Nigerians need to move past this car abeg

Yes, and also can be cloned. Cheaper to strake a deal with manufacturer and get the old production lines

It has

Air-conditioning
Airbags
Automatic transmission
Power assisted steering
You can install an Android audio system
Abs is optional

Do you really think anything special is in the 2020 model apart from a CVT transmission that will not make it to 200,000miles without breaking down?

Tell me 1 thing in the 2020 model that is new.

ednut1:
cruise control, break hold, blind spot light, compatibility with latest phones , rear camera . We are really suffering in that country.

GAZZUZZ:


Cruise control is available in 2003

Break hold

Blind spot light

That's all.

The rest as simple media accessories that can be installed on a 100k android system
