Buy Honda Civic? Need Advise by Gist247(m): 6:43pm On Jul 26, 2022 |
Honestly, I never knew there was an extensive car section here on NL until I started doing research on buying a car. So a little backstory. I've had my eyes on a 2008 ES350 Lexus that is on sale for 3.2M for a while not sure what the mileage is but recently my friend is pitching his second really neat toks Honda Civic 09 car with 170k mileage for me to buy at 3m. I've seen the car and it's really nice plus he assured me that it's good quality. I know and trust him there so no issues there. I just want some clarification on a couple of things as I'm not too loaded like that but I can def pay up for the car. Here are some concerns. 1. Is the civic 09 really worth 3m or should I just go for my 3.2m ES350? 2. What are we vital questions to ask him before I go for it? 3. Is that high mileage an issue? 4. General advice for a newbie car owner? T for thanks everyone. |

Gist247: Run from that your friend that wants to sell a Nigerian used 09 civic to you for 3m...The toks isn't even worth that much..As you tell am say you get 3m for car, im ear stand ![]() Secondly, the ES350 (if in very good state) is by far the better car compared to the Civic, unless buying fuel and car maintenance is an issue for you.. Contact a mechanic here to do a pre-purchase inspection for you on whichever car you decide to go for, to avoid buying wahala, since it appears you aren't too knowledgeable about vehicles..If you are in Lagos or environs, contact the moniker Gazzuzz or Kingreign if you are in Abuja...Both of them too like money but you will sleep well with whatever vehicle they give you a go-ahead to buy ![]() Most Nigerian used cars are Baskets of trouble..Proceed from this default assumption and you will be fine ![]() 13 Likes |

Gist247: The 09 civic told is better here apart from the fact that the ES is more luxurious with tremendously better build quality. The civic maintenance is pocket friendly, it has honda top notch reliability, good fuel economy, simplistic engine and transmission. 170k mileage is quite okay if its kms the maintenance history from previous owner is the koko 6 Likes |

Actually the car is toks and I'm pretty sure it's in great shape. I'm sure he wouldn't sell anything bad to me but I'm also sure he won't be shy when it comes to being aggressive about the pricing. 1 Like |

Gist247: Bros first, he shdnt be selling a Nigeria used for 3m, an Honda civic for that matter not even a Toyota RAV4 2010 model haba nau Secondly, just as you have been advised, you can get a toks not Nigeria used for less than 3m, let's say around 2m - 2.4m. Thirdly, with that price, you can even get a good Honda civic 2015 Nigeria used.. But then, if fueling isn't an issue for you, pls get that Lexus otherwise the civic is great and finally, run from that frnd sir. You may soon be setup 3 Likes |

Kingdemu: You don't know me from anywhere, neither do I, and you feel it's right to attack me just to prove your point? .. I will ignore this, but kindly don't let it repeat itself. Thanks. And to OP, my apologies, you may purchase from him. Thanks again |

My opinion, Es350 is a luxury and elegant car, but a no no for me, Always low to the ground. I'll pick that 09 civic once it's toks. Forget all these people saying 2m will get you a 09 civic toks, it won't. 3 Likes |

samintegrity: I really love your input sir. Well done. Please, what's your opinion on the Honda Accord 2015? Almost similar to the 2014 and 2016 models. I have also considered Lexus Es350, but only getting discouraged cause it's known as yahoo boy car ![]() 3 Likes |

Gist247:a toks 2009/2010 civic at 3m as it stands today is a good deal. Do necessary checks, and if satisfied pay. Don't listen to the window shoppers here, they don't know jack about these things. Na fantasy dem sabi 5 Likes |

Get the civic since you are a first timer.Its a very nice car.The ES350 is a better ride but get the civic for now.you can upgrade later.Toks of the car is like 3m so you can price it depending on how long your friend used it. 4 Likes 1 Share |
