OfficialSam:I don't think I can ever buy Toyota cars again after using Honda Accord 08. Honda seems to be the best both in terms of fuel consumption, performance,interior and lastly beauty. 6 Likes |

AbelAbdul:Now thats one wonderful corolla, No single check engine light. Just be servicing the vehicle every 3000km, change the oil, oil filter, air filter during servicing. You can change plugs and ac filter one a year. Some people might have better ideas though 1 Like |

You are inexpirience you shouldn't have gone to Apapa warehouse without a honest guide with an experienced person buying car from warehouse you will make within 200,000 to 500,000 difference from the prices you see elsewhere ,I do buy cars for myself and others there and the price is more cheaper and the car graded because you have choices there ,oboy boys don hammer for your head from your language you would have paid over 7to 1m extra good luck next time 1 Like |

AbelAbdul:What is the mileage on the car? Don't let mechanics and electricians handle it anyhow. Use the engine oil with specification written on the cover of your engine, whenever you service it. Also use the gear oil with spec written on the dipstick of the gear. Don't let mechanics/panelbeaters remove the catalytic converter in your exhaust pipe, or bypass/ remove the thermostat. Use a good radiator coolant in your radiator and never ever forget to replace the cap whenever you refill it. Always keep your eye on the dashboard for any abnormal signals on it about overheating, check engine, brake oil/engine oil shortage etc. Don't be tempted to drive beyond 120kph, just because it's a tokunbo and still in almost pristine state should not tempt you to over speed. Enjoy your car and maintain it according to the service manual. 3 Likes |

AbelAbdul:The people hyping Lagos are Lagos residents who have never lived elsewhere. Or, those who came from ratholes. We left Lagos since the early 90ies and none of us dream of returning to stay. Sadly, we are Lagosians. You visit, attend functions, and go enjoy your life elsewhere. Whoever lived in Lagos in the 80ies and 90ies will never accept to live there today, given some options. To enjoy Lagos, you must have a large income gate and a foot outside Nigeria. 2 Likes |

AbelAbdul: Hi Abdul. Lovely story. I really enjoyed reading your Lagos escapade. I never knew this car Corolla cost so much? The truth about Lagos is exemplified in this statement: who sabi, sabi! If you don’t know an insider in any particular sector, it is always very difficult and “ them go chop you before them show you road.” Hint: there is a particular places in Ojo called saint peter road, where they offload containers of cars and supermarket goods from London -Peugeot, Corolla ( right hand), and Lexus cars (normal hand) from Korea. The “right hand” cars are convertEd to left-hand drive at mechanics behind “Red Cross,” back of the Alaba market. Then sold to the dealers at Apapa and other car spots around Lagos. 3 Likes |

This is doubtful... You've not driven more than 20 times and you were moving at 170kph on a road you are not familiar with ?? @Op, If i were you, I would have gone back to portharcourt to purchase the car, to avoid all the stress of settlements and the risk of driving. Glad you finally achieved your dream... Better dreams ahead to be fulfilled ! Congrats bro. AbelAbdul: 3 Likes |

You are a hero, you have tried and also had the experience. Please protect your Corolla, put tracker, don't pack and leave it. They steal it like mad everywhere, they even stole my boss inside our estate at LBS area Lagos. I repeat, don't park outside, at night, don't park and go far. Put tracker. Good luck bro. 2 Likes |

AbelAbdul: OMG, 4.1m in total for this corolla 2006/2007? Guy, you have been cheated, next time if you want to purchase something in Lagos, have someone who will be your guide and knows Lagos very well so you won't be going around telling people you're not that familiar with Lagos and you came to buy something, once they know you aren't familiar with Lagos, how to dupe you is what they will be thinking of and that car you spent 4.1m on in total is way too outrageous, I use same car as well and you could have spent at most 3.5m including registration and transportation expenses. Anyway, that's gone and the car is clean, I drive bolt for a living in Lagos, if I had come across your former thread earlier, I could have assisted you in getting the car at cheaper price sef, trust me for that. Maintenance tips, 1 major thing that kills people engine and gear is negligence, if you can give that car regular oil when it's due, the car will serve you 5years without touching engine or gear, this is my Maintenance tip for my car, since I drive Bolt, I usually drive 1000km within a week and sometimes more than that within a week due to how body carry me to drive around the car to make more money, but whenever I service my engine, I will reset either Trip A or B on my dashboard to keep tab on the KMs I have run before next service and since I use semi synthetic oil, I don't drive it above 4000km before my next oil change and also to avoid the oil getting too dark and thick which will be causing sludge inside the car engine and sludge makes car to shorten oil. Just reset either your Trip A or B and if you're using Mobil 1000 XHP or the 2000 XHP to service the car, don't run the car more than 4000km before changing the oil, mechanic will tell you to run 5000km but do not listen to them and do not wait for the car to show Maintenance required before going for the oil change, have it in your mind never to run more than 4000km before changing the oil and if you're using Mobil 1 which is the full synthetic oil, you can run 5000km. That car sweet die and the only problem you will be having is wheel issues which are minor issues. Enjoy and drive safely. 4 Likes |

Congratulations on your new ride…. This car has the highest stolen rate due to reasons you bought it and also Uber Please install a car tracker . You might need some “ carpet “ on top of the dashboard for Sun (I stayed in northern part shaa) Also pls don’t be tempted to overspeed. Have in mind that you are driving the best car, use the appropriate oils for servicing and also avoid quack mechanics. Mine is 9years already 3 Likes |
