OP, this ain't 2005 Honda Accord but 2003/04,

Kindly be truthful with your post so people can patronize u....kindly correct ur info and price accordingly.....thanks

Thanks boss.... What about Honda Civic 2004-2005 & EOD 2005, which one is better than Camry 2001? which one would you recommend and why?

folarr:

@phal
I'm just seeing this post.
Go for the Toyota Camry, it has better fuel consumption than the gas guzzling Mercedes-Benz
And plus maintenance costs would be lower compared to the Merc.
That's just my opinion

Car gurus in the house please kindly help me suggest which car would fit my budget,
I am actually planning to buy my first car as my family is growing big and moving from point A to B is becoming stressful for us, hence I decided to get a very good & sharp Nigerian used car with a budget of 500K max.

I want a car that is very durable, reliable, fuel efficient, cheap and accessible parts, meanwhile I don't want Toyota or Honda as they are too common on Nigerian roads & I also believe they re not the only best car options we can get. Though I am looking at Nissan Almera 2001, Nissan primera 2000 to 2002, VW Golf 3 and Mazda cars from 1999 to 2002 models.

Please kindly help me as I need your car expertise to decide which car to go for ASAP.

Thanking you in advance

I would really love to go for the Benz as u recommended, I goggled it, the car exterior
and interior isn't bad for a car of 1999. please kindly give me all the specs of that Benz that fit in my budget perfectly...but the A.C issue now dey do me somehow... Thanks in advance

saintchris11:
you can get a used Benz C class 1994-1999 model, auto or manual gear for even lesser than the amount you have
one thing you get from the Benz is reliability.. you won't need to bother about shaft, constant change of absorbers etc.
the handling of any Benz is superior to ANY car around.
you can get a C180-C230, the fuel economy is almost better than the corolla.
the engine is rugged... bullet proof they call it.
the only minus is that you may have issues with the AC... the compressor could be annoying but in all, you get a very reliable car that won't mess up.. I drive one.. trust me.. once you get a Benz, you don't want to downgrade to another maker again.

Please kindly post pictures here let me see...thanks

I have my personal Volvo S40 for sale, believe me the car is so nice, durable and very strong. You don’t have to buy mine but check around for that car. You would not regret I got mine toks and it had never given me a fault. Mine is up for sale for 450k like I said it doesn’t have to be mine but it’s a car you will enjoy

FYI I am moving to my 3 bed ensuite personal house in few months....thanks for ur input though

Build a self contain

The best detailing advise indeed, thanks for ur time, u mean for 350K I can get a very good Golf 3 with A.C, gear and engine working perfectly?, I understand I will need to spend a little on the body as per Naija ways of using cars and is the car really perfect for first timer like me?

klbakare:
Dear O. P, i want to help you. Consider my advice one of the best you'll get here.

Since you are starter, never buy any expensive car for a start. Except you are really very rich. Am not sure you have driven very well before self. You will burn clutch and fall victim to high prices of part and repairs. And the more expensive your car, the more expensive its parts and repair billings.

For starters, i always advise volkswagen golf, in this your case, golf 3 will be the most appropriate car. Never buy golf 4 as advised by some people here.

You will find very neat, decent and very workable golf 3 that will travel anywhere in nigeria between 270 - 350k. Never buy any nigerian used volkswagen golf 3 for more than 350k.

Now golf 3 has very cheap parts and is very cheap to maintain. It has very low fuel consumption. And you can always love-vendor it to your taste to make you an average big boy.

To buy any fairly used vehicle, you need a very competent mechanic.
The twist about volkswagen is that "never take a mechanic that repair other brands especially toyota to go and inspect any volkswagen vehicle for a buy" they never know nothing or usually know little about volkswagen. They'll help waste your money. They will not be able to give you a good opinion about the car and its ideal worth against what the owner called it for you.

Since you have 500k to spare, if you buy a golf 3 from between 270k - 350. You'll have sufficient money to fix any fucking fault you might discover later. P:S be informed that there is no fairly used motor upon which you will not spend money to improve to your taste. Even tokunbo self you go spend small money. I have used an ample number of cars.

Now, if you have finally settled for volkswagen golf 3, you can reach out to me, i can give you my personal mechanic that i can vouch for to help you inspect cars and make a "buy" decision. Just give him money he will tell you all the truth about the vehicle. I repeat all the truth!

If you eventually want to settle for Toyota fairly used, don't settle for any less than 700k otherwise you are just buying problems except you dont mind corolla 01/02

I don't know much about nissan.

I have driven mazda 323 hatch back very very well. It moves well, portable and decent. But, i don't know much of the pros and cons. I never repaired it, i drove it for someone.

Enjoy yourself and pray to God for Goodluck on your car choice.

The thing tire me self Oooo, people on NL just made my 500K look like N5 , some guys in my office got a very decent car for less than 500K I mean very nice car, I'm surprised y guys on NL re making my hard earned 500K look like N5...thanks boss for the advice

officerfudo:
Broad, don't let anyone demoralise you, be patient ,get car expert you trust, with your half a million , you can get pencil light naija use, don't let anyone rush you. There are lot of good cars for your 500k.

Thanks for the advice.... FYI I will be moving to my house in few months!

timesup234:
Oga go buy land 200k and use 300k do foundation. Keke napep is better than a 500k. Na drum of water be that

Thanks for d contribution, pls which model of Honda can fit in my budget perfectly? and will it be reliable & sharp?

Nickymichy:
For a starter like u... I will advice you to go for Honda...I will have suggested Toyota but DAT amount is too small....reason for Honda is that it is easy to maintain... Parts are cheap and available everywhere... For the bolt t stuff...forget that...I used Honda for 2yrs plus...I never had d issue for one day...u know y...I listen to my car..one I notice any funny sound.. I take it for repair.. Most people having ds issue are care free people... Sometimes I drive without switching on my radio just to listen to d sound of d car...from there u can b able to know if ur car is faulty or not..so for the amount u said.. Honda is ur car man...

Thanks boss, u have done well with ur advise....I will keep u posted on my decision

EPIJOE:


DONT BUY A BABY BOY PLS. THE CAR GIVES ISSUES WHEN AGEING.

GO FOR A TOYOTA CAMRY 2000, OR 2001 WITH #550-#600K U WILL GET A CAR OF THAT PRICE WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. ACS WORKING PERFECTLY. AND SOUND ENGINE. AND THAT CAR IS SOO RUGGED THAT EVEN PEOPLE REFUSE TO PART WITH IT.

Thanks boss, Can my budget get me a very good Civic 2002?

emekatimsu:
Since this is your 1st car, I will suggest you go for Toyota. There are some common factors you look out for before buying a car. For a Toyota car, the mechanic and parts are readily available.

Your 500k can lead you to a Naija used ToYota Camry (pencil light) or a Toyota corolla (98/99) model.
Toyota been rampant isnt a sound reason not to opt for it. Honda is equally good but the problem you are probably going to face with a Honda of 500k is suspension related .

Thanks for ur contribution, I really appreciate ur concern, FYI I have some landed property, as a matter of fact I will be moving to my personal house in few months

Sparro:

Shut up kidd. U have nothing reasonable to say. Telling others what you are told.

Ur name already shows the kind of person u re....pig indeed

AFONJAPIG:
Gwagon 2021 model... Ewu ur 500k can't even buy 1999 Toyota Corolla

Thanks EPIJOE , does it mean I can get a very perfect Camry pencil at 550K?...I'm contemplating on Baby boy too, what's ur take on it? Ur candid advise is need please..

EPIJOE:
IF U LIKE YOURSELF, PLS UP YOUR BUDGET AND GO FOR A CLEAN USED. TOYOTA CAMRY 2001 DROP LIGHT. OR HONDA CIVIC 2003. THIS TWO CARS WONT DISSAPOINT YOU. IF THEY Have GOOD ENGINE AND GEAR AND FIRST BODY.
WITH #550-#600K YOU WOULD GET A GOOD ONE OR GET AND EOD. BUT ALWAYS HAVE LEG PROBLEMS.

DONT GO FOR NISSAN OR GOLF CARS FOR YOUR FIRST CAR, U WILL END UP REGRETING

Thanks for u contribution...I really appreciate

Throwback:


Nissan has electrical issues that turn off the engine while driving or refusing to start while off.

In fact, the steering can lock and drive you towards a direction that is not your choice.

Really? Pls kindly enlighten me the more, I didn't want to the bandwagon of Toyota/Honda,
please tell me more about the Nissan why u said is a No Go area... Thanks

Dowenship:
because this cars are common is not a good reason to neglect them... As a Nigerian Toyota, Benz, Honda is wat u need.. Nissan no go area oo

I know about amdman but I tot he deals in Tokunbo ride only.

folarr:

Check amdman, or get a 2000 Nissan pathfinder

For me Toyota is over hyped and Honda ball t issue is the reason why I'm not going to them, infact I prefer Hyundai/KIA to Honda/Toyota... By the way I have no probs upping my budget contrary to what u said..but other things are there for me to put money...thanks for ur contribution..I really appreciate

greggng:



I have golf3 ...still first body ...but u need to do body work to it test when you buy it...However I am disappointed in you...how can you leave behind Toyota, and Honda...don't you know that they are the king of cars when it comes to Nigeria. Just tell me your budget no reach I will understand ...

You dey ask abi?
When the thing Totori u,, na that time u go know say he food

Goodluck200:
Sex na food

Why do most of you ladies feel like you re doing a man favour by having sex with them?

For christ sake they are both married to each other, hence both of them should do the needful when it comes to having sex no negotiation whatsoever. Why do you think man get married to a woman? Either you like it or not sex is the only bond that can bring husband and wife together closer and make them love each other more and more...the moment sex is out of marriage...sis d marriage is as good as gone... I rest my case

J111333:
Your wife is very busy at the moment and all she needs now is and not rants about sex.
She has a 7 months baby to deal with, fvcking get that into your skull damn it.

She even manages to sneak into the other room for the sex after working hard to put the kids to bed while you probably sit and watch TV. Aren't you selfish? Damn, some men piss me off with this selfish mentality.

valarinz:


At that budget, you should be looking at S40/V50 98-02 models ed. They're good and reliable
