I want to go for 5th Gen Volkswagen Jetta 2006-2009.. Any consideration and advice.. That's the cheapest car I could get for #1 |

Lobolintin: Never buy a VW because its cheap. Going forward VW don't like abuse ensure the components are in good working conditions. If the engine is turbo I advice u stay away cause low quality oil destroys VW engine faster than anything. It is also highly wired with several sensors, buy an handheld scanner so you can help kazeem to help you 2 Likes |

93RD: Dicey situation, that 011 to 16 accent engine were notorious for been ubrepairable when faulty as long as the specimen u buying dey good condition better to pick it over a Corolla. Why not find an Elantra of equal price like 08 to 2010 |
nurey(m): 5:30am On Mar 27, 2023 |
jmanity: No issue but not good on gas. If buying 2006 to 2011 model years ensure the radiator by was done to save guard the transmission. 3 Likes 1 Share |

nurey:I meant Honda accord 2011-2012 |
nurey(m): 3:37pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
obuneme: dont buy a 2.0L variant engine, the 2.4L for accord is better. try and avoid all those V6 with VCM also, the earlier VCM tech were not really reliable. For me the Honda is bae in interior design to Camry. But anyone you lay your hands on is equally good overall 1 Like 1 Share |

Please I need advice. Pick one out of the 3 2008 Lexus 300 Mexvedez C300 2008 Hyundai sonata 2014 Rather can someone please recommend a very god car within the range of 2.8-3.2m |
nurey(m): 8:19pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
olisehcom: Nothing like lexus 300, the only 300 we know is the Spartans ![]() The benz C300 is okay all round not the fastest in its class sha but averagely reliable. The sonata 2014 with those GDI engines aren't the most popular cars around because of the engine technology, not very friendly to our fuel type, low quality engine oil and then scarse technical knowhow. For your budget tell us what you like and we can advice on what yo watch out for and what to buy. |
olisehcom(f): 10:00pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
nurey: Forgive my ignorance, it’s Lexus Is 350. I just need a good reliable but fancy car for work logistics. My reservation about the Benz is maintenance cost. Also, please how reliable are Nigerian used cars? |
Dabss(m): 10:50pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
Bosses in the house please does the Toyota Highlander 2008-2013 (2nd gen) have any factory defect? I always see them parked by the road on highways.
|
nurey(m): 5:26am On Mar 31, 2023 |
olisehcom: IS350 is good and fast buy if you see a good specimen. C class aren't expensive to maintain if you buy good one. Tokunbo or naija used cars are still used cars with a degree of wear and tear, maintenance of former owner would be the determining factor whether it's a good buy or not. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dabss: They are parked because owner is eating by the roadside or even urinating. But the are very reliable workhorse. 12 to 13 came with metallic oil cooler lines so ensure if you aren't buying that year bracket check the cooler lines, if its rubber change to metal if you can. For the V6 engines The other factory defect is fan switching on by itself even when ignition is off reported here on NL. 2 Likes |

olisehcom:I use to see this types of cars on highway. If I am given the chance to pick, I take Benz C300 2008,if 2010 model dey,go for it.my Honourable in my state use the Hyundai Sonata 2014, my neighbor use the 2008 Lexus 330 another use 2008 Highlander which I have driven several times. But my instinct is telling me that the Lexus 2008 may be better than 2008 Highlander and Benz C300 better than both. Simply because I have not driving Benz or Lexus before |

Matrix,there is this Toyota Corolla hatchback, Nissan hatchback and Mazda premacy(1999/2000).Toyota Camry 1999/2000.The Mazda Premacy is manual transmission. I & friends were arguing, because I said the Mazda accelerated and is faster than the others cars I mentioned. I have driven all cars except Matrix.
