Car Talk / Re: Why Are Cars In Nigeria Appreciating In Value As The Years Go By? by sandysaint: 9:04pm On Mar 11, 2022
Acidosis:


Especially that Corrola. That was how someone posted a 2006 Corrola for #3M on Nairaland. In my mind, I'm wondering why anyone would save #3M and use it to buy a 17-year old car just because of exchange rate issues. Why not use the money to send 20 orphans to primary school?? Better still, invest it. This is the same car people bought for #1.4M 2-3 years ago. 3 years later, you want to buy a scrap for twice the price when your income has not increased exponentially.

Nigerians are the ones driving these crazy prices with their herd mentality. It is true the economy has gone from bad to worse but not to the extent of selling outdated flooded scraps for #3-4M.



You sha know how to mix sense and nonsense together. So for a person to not buy a car but instead send 20 orphans to school with the money while his family is trekking under rain and sun is your solution to inflation?

I have an opportunity to buy my first car ever, these are the two cars I have passion for: Toyota Corolla and Pencil Camry which one is preferable as a first user. please advice me.


Baba buy your Camry Pencil ( 97 - '99). Envelope is 00 - '01. From 2002 is Big Daddy so the person that told you 2002 is Pencil is wrong.

I know someone we bought same time. Different cases of vandalism and issues upandan. My Envelope does not give me issues.

5w30 is the manufacturer's stated oil but it's expensive.
I use 20w50 cos that's the oil the previous owner have been using. I know it's not the best oil for it after I did my research but I presumed d damage has been done already. I hope engine won't pack up on me soon....If I may ask Mobil 5w30 is over 30k now.

You are using fully synthetic then. I use Mobil 2000 5w30 semisynthetic and change 2 monthly. No issues.

Where do you get your oil?

I know fully synthetic just got to 29k.

Semisynthetic is now 14k

Car Talk / Re: Best Oil Grade To Use For Nigerian Car? by sandysaint: 8:38pm On Nov 05, 2021
EuroMeko:
That synthetic oil offers better protection is common knowledge, you might argue the cost factor but that's a personal thing. Personally I use Dino oil on my non race cars. I use synthetic in my Ducati because I ride him like it was stolen.

As far as oil weight, just go with what the manufacturer calls for in your climate.

The best thing you can do to your engine to prolong it's life is to change the oil regularly. In the USA I change my Dino oil every 3,000 miles or 1 month and for synthetic every 5,000 miles or 3 months. This is subjective and my own personal schedule based on my own research on how I use my vehicles.

So, if cost is a problem use the best Dino oil you can get, the correct weight and change it religiously.

Jakumo:
I will never for the life of me fathom why people get hysterical over the outcome of football games.

There are only four possible outcomes to ANY football match.

1. Team A wins, while team B loses.

2. Team B wins, while team A loses.

3. The game is a draw, and neither team wins or loses.

4. The game is canceled or postponed due to coronavirus, World War 3, a gigantic asteroid impact, or lack of interest.


Given that one of the above four scenarios is CERTAIN to occur, it is simply baffling that otherwise rational people invest so much emotion into football games.

Personally, I wouldn't give a flying phuck if ALL football was canceled until hell freezes over because I have far more important considerations to dwell upon than how many times a football is kicked into a net by a bunch of running men in colorful uniforms. I'd rather watch paint dry, or watch grass grow than sit through the ordeal of watching a damn football match.

Car Talk / Re: Advice Getting Camry 2001 (fishlight/droplight). Users Please Come In by sandysaint: 4:00pm On Oct 24, 2021
kenny2gbaski:
I have been driving my Nissan primera 98, 1.6L engine with Manual Tranny for close to 3 years and i wish to upgrade.

I don't earn much so please dont laugh at me if at this particular era, my upgrade is to a 2001 Camry. I believe it's better to go for what i can afford and maintain instead of trying to live in pretence, make i no do pass myself.

My current car has served me prefectly and has never dissapointed me for a single day, except of course for the AC system which i eventually abandoned after spending so much and it eventually fails again. Since it's a small engine anyway, i left AC alone, to be used when i get a better car.

Camry droplight/fishlight seems to be my closest option right now as well as it's reliability according what i have seen/heard around especially on Nairaland. But i have few questions from owners and experienced personnels in the house.

1. I haven't seen much people talk about it's AC, how reliable is it. I also heard the evaporator can't be removed except the dashboards is totally removed.
The reasons i asked this is because i have spent so much money and time repairing an AC and i have vowed never to buy a ride with a known/problematic or weak AC system ever. This time, i must get a car with a reliable AC system.
Kindly tell me if Camry 2.2 droplight/fishlight AC is reliable

2. On the issue of back absorber getting bad quickly on this particular model, what can one do to solve this.
I have seen people raising their back absorbers i guess to make it last longer which looks awkward, can't there be another way round for it's lasting solution other than this?

3. Security.
The reason i have always avoided this particular model was the theft back then, but someone told me it is almost non existent anymore and besides, the latter model (2001) has a transponder. How true is this?
I have seen someone who drives the 2001 model with an ordinary steel key which actually means there is no transponder chip on the key which absolutely leaves the car with no security whatsoever. Is this the way all camry 2001 is?

For additional security
How do you secure this car from theft?
I have seen people with electronic securities as well as the manual/metal lock that locks the brake with a key
Which security is better and how do i go about getting one?

Am so sorry if i might have not put my words rightly as i should, i am only a novice o.
My 3 year car owning experience has been very good, absolutely no complain. So i will want my next ride to be the same.
I will really appreciate all the helps i can get.
Thanks in anticipation.

Looking at the date you posted this, I realize you may had gotten the Camry '01 or may have even upgraded by now.

Your core concerns were about the a/c and reliability.

From my experience, the ac is chilling for you the driver and the passenger riding shotgun.

However those at the back seats complain it isn't cold and would want to wind down.

It's a great car compared to other cars in it's price range.

I bought mine as a Naija used vehicle that was parked for months because the owner had other cars but was reassured by a trusted friend (mechanic) after he did due checks.

Do your routine servicing and you'll be fine.

Cons:

1. I've had to change the "engine" of the driver side glass that was poorly done. I now oil the window routinely so it doesn't make a squeaky sound while winding up.

2. I changed alternator 2 months ago. It just died for no reason.

3. Been going on 4 -5 hour journeys but recently when I did a longer distance journey, my muffler melted. Had to change that.

4. The key refused to turn once. Shaked the steering wheel, it still didn't budge. Someone had to come open down to the fibre. Taken to mechanic village and fixed so it wouldn't happen again.

5. You may need to change your plugs every 2 months. Though after changing my cables, the plugs no longer get weak easily.

Summary: the car is reliable. It's not totally free of issues. It may give you some issues now and then but comparatively, if you know what your colleagues using other brands or same Toyota Camry of later generations, it's relatively cheap to maintain in good condition.

Car Talk / Toyota Camry Envelope Needed by sandysaint: 12:17am On Apr 15, 2021
I'm about getting my first car.
From threads I've been following for months here, Toyota Camry envelope ('00/01) and Honda Civic '08 are preferred cars for first time owners.

My budget is between 6-800k.
I need a clean Toyota Camry envelope for personal use preferably in Bayelsa where I can inspect it with a trusted mechanic.

I've been following threads for months and been on jiji but most times people who purchased cars from far distances end up overpaying or getting a Nigerian used lemon.

I'll appreciate further guidance still. Thanks.

2021, is still yet to come, this list must drafted by a drunkard.

Toyota car parts don't go mile without replacement,

Masda from day one have engine issues to smoke like ganja man,

Nissan doesn't have engine

American cars can be quite reliable

Bottom line is, Toyota advertises more than other companies, German automakers have ego, & their price tag is up, the parts are expensive making their car expensive to maintain,

Toyota fake parts are all over the place their original parts and fake don't have any much difference.
Lexus is Canada not Japan which is still nort America Lexus is way better than Toyota.

I feel say you bin dey talk sense until you dey correct person about Lexus being Canada.
