its both govt and dealers,some dealers buy salvage/flooded cars,refurbish them and sell them as toks on a high price,isn't that rip off?
That one weakens me most. The day i saw them at Berger Auto mkt. I couldn't believe...from changing of Engines to body filling and spraying...I couldn't negotiate further. Had to leave immediately.

That is the average Nigerian business man for you,they want to rip you off with a substandard item without even an ounce of pity on the challenges you will face in the nearest future. They only care about making huge profit on fake items thinking they are very smart,just only a few honest people left. this is one of the many reasons this country is stagnant.

Nissan Quest!!! Nah...hell no, had a terrible experience with it. Those i know using always complain about it, you see it in mechanic shops always packed. I guess you people are OYO...Nissan Quest na ride? lol
U r right but it doesn't have mechanical issue but Rewiring issue maybe cos it wasn't made for Africa. My 2000 model comes with single radiator and a big fan( I have changes the fan 3 times now) all Nissan parts are expensive and they are all V6 this contributed to its high cost maintenance but its still a cool car

Regret how? Can you be more detailed in your explanation and also kindly quote model and year of mske

Ok. Try V boot300. Try also ML320. They will go when new. Compare maintenance of old Mercedes with old Lexus or Toyota. However it all depends on choice and commitment.

These cars shouldn't be entering our borders.
They are mostly too old with little life left in them if at all.
They serve to congest our roads and driven recklessly to ruin good and far better cars.

You're bro. i had to turn back from there and decided i wasnt gonna import the bus irrespective of duty charge...At least, i'll be sure of what i will buy online and also have someone inspect it for me over there. It's really crazy! and come to think that the difference isnt even much at all when bought and shipped yourself considering that theirs is either accidented, flooded or rolled back aged car with lots of issues aidy. Now, when they bring in the good ones...wahala prices again, imagine a dealer at Festac that wants to sell a clean Manual Golf 4 for 1.550m...lol. May God help us in this country.

That's the problem...we really have little or no good rewires in Nigeria...hence causing more problems for car owners. I can't wish that Quest on my enemy, it can take his/her life.

I never stated in my post that I was going to buy 1999 Camry,I said I will wait for dollar to fall b4 getting a car. what I am looking at is a 2008 muscle and d price now is about 2.8 to 3.2 if not more,as at 2014 to early 2015,that amount could get me a clean 9ja used venza. bro buying a car that suit my taste for my targeted price at my suppose right time ain't stagnation, different strokes for different folks,I got a pregnant wife to care for and other financial responsibilities I haven't faced b4 as its our first baby and same time,expanding my business. i just calculated how I think things will work out fine for me in this hard economy of ours. #peace
You have stated it rightly now cos that statement of waiting for dollar to fall didn't sound right bro. improving your business and taking care of your family is good and preferable. it's even far better if you use the money to buy land in the east or PH cos it will appreciate very fast and you will forever be happy at the long run.

how was the bad fuel pump a fault of yours?
I travelled to a remote location to take delivery of some equipmentS. I was low on fuel but decided to push my luck to get to the next gas station. Unfortunately, dirt's from the bottom tank was sucked up and that took out the fuel pump.
Moral of the story: don't drive on empty tanks

its only God that can help us from our fellow men,even with your complete hard earned money,you can't get a good car without checking the Vin,even at that you will still have to chose from either a roll back mileage or another minor fault that has been repaired. imagine a dealer here wants to sell golf 2 for 750k. bro I weak for the matter and a 2000 corolla for 1.550k.

Mercedes Benz is more expensive than Toyota anywhere in the world and if you can't afford Toyota, then you have no business pricing Mercedes. Honda and Toyota are on the same price arrange cos of their durability




Not when it is toks of older models like 190, v boot

lol...they are all taking advantage of the present economic situation and duty charges...Early last year...no reasonable being with moderate pay would think of going for a Golf 2 car even if it's too cheap, one could also get that Corolla for 850k to 900k. We will triumph at last.

S60 is an economical vehicle fuel wise.... The parts and maintenance I'll leave valarinz to that.

There's nothing like a v4 car engine... It's called I4.
Now on Mercedes and Volvo's... Some people don't like to travel ordinarily... But luxuriously.... Get a tokks 190 and keep praying for me. Fuel economy is not the only consideration in buying vehicles....

Some just buy class!!!

Not everyone can risk his life on the southeastern roads in a old avensis wagon like a major Kazeem here.

For me I can't enter a Honda car for a Trip.... My younger brother diportivo is love vending his xterra and will probably laugh at exchanging it for a VW golf

the reason why Toyota brands are more expensive than its counterparts is it durability and it's good for Nigerian road cosof it's water resistant level

The words in bold are wrong Bro.
The reason for the high price is the demand factor. In economics, it's likened to the demand factor.

No one mentioned Honda civic 1999 - 2002. This car can be gotten for about 800k to 1m.

But wait o Mercedes-Benz w202 c180 is great for a newbie. Can be gotten for 800k to about 1m.

Good thing is if you can get a clean Nigerian used for less.
