Congrats. Nawaoo! Inflation has dealt with Nigerians badly. I bought same car in Apapa, Lagos N1.7million in May 2018. The fuel consumption is amazing. I filled the car tank once & i drove with my In-law to PH. My advise 1. Service the car regularly with the right & original engine oil (at most once in 2months). 2. If the car plugs are CARRY-COME, pls, don't change it. It is meant to last longer. 3. Replace the A/C filter if you notice a reduction in the rate of cooling. Use a good a/c mechanic. 4. On no occasion should you allow fuel to finish in the car before you buy new one. Always target full tank to reduce fuel consumption. 5. Avoid heavy or overload in order not to damage the car chassis. 6. To preserve the colour of the car, pls, don't use detergent to wash the car. Buy morning fresh. Toyota Corolla is a sweet car. It doesn't give problem at all 7 Likes |

OK2NVME: You're still trapped in your self-created predicament. You sound needlessly angry about his choices. You're entitled to your opinion, but don't go overboard insisting a Benz is the only choice. I personally don't fancy European cars, but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't like them. Yes it is a car section and he went and got himself a car. Would I do what he did? Absolutely not. But I'd not dare presume to judge him for what he decides to do with his money and what car he prefers. All I can do is have an opinion. Besides, Toyota (which I don't fancy) sells way more cars than Mercedes. 4 Likes |

Mhen, we Lagosians don't value ourselves o. See the car I bought in 2020 without stress. See the level of stress a PH guy had to go through to get this car, mhen, to me the stress is too much. 2 Likes |

AbelAbdul: Hey Abdul, I salut your courage to whether the crazy Lagos state but at the same time I'd called it stupidity. I really thank God for your life for a safe return back home and I really wish others could learn from your bitter experience. However, I say congrats to you on getting your dream car but at the same time I'm disappointed and ashamed of you if that's what's you could get after the horror story. Meanwhile, if the end justifies the means; your journey doesn't Worth it cos You'd spend nothing less than 200k on that car to make it standard. There are better type of the particular car everywhere, but you chose to get your in a hard and bitter way. Nobody should try this SHIT cos it's an an expensive foolishness. Lastly, I'm happy for your life but I'm sad at your choices. I drive a Honda DC now and I'll be upgrading it soon to a sweet 2012 Accord but I bet you it's gonna be a sweet transition, no shitty stories, no bribing, no fuckinn doh doh stuffs cos I've got trusted people to inspect the car in Lagos at a friendly price and deliver to Abuja all under 70k. Godspeed bro. 1 Like |

Olayetan:you should have read carefully to know that OP bought the car for 3.7m. Feeding, hotel accommodation, transportation and other expenses brought it to 4.1m. Then why will you even advise him to use a 20w50 oil at this early stage? You use semi synthetic and advice him to use mineral oil? Please don't even give him that option. I have used synthetic on my Avalon for 9yrs. The engine is pristine and never worked on. My exhaust has no sooth of any sort. Remember he was paying 25k for hotel accommodation. And was also dashing police money unnecessarily. Imagine giving them 5k, 2k. 1 Like |

onatisi: Same here bro. Still enjoying my Honda DC but hope to upgrade to 2012 Accord. It still beat my imagination how a sane human will spend as much as N4.1m and all the stress in the world to get an old overrated bland car like 2005 Corolla?! It's either the guy is mad upstairs of the money isn't a clean one. Now he'll be bugaring everbody in PH with that fuckkkin car, thinking he's arrived. |
