Good morning, Scotty and Friends. I am in need of your Advise. I live in Nigeria in the rural parts and our roads are terrible. I am looking to buy a used car and so far my choices are the 1998 Toyota camry and the 2000 Honda civic. I am looking for a car that easy on maintenance and also will take the beating of the bad roads. I need advise on which one to get, as well as other recommendations that you have. Thank you so much.
@tha1umar
If automatic, Toyota, if standard, both are great.
Thank you so much.
@nick20s
I find standards are more reliable, but I agree that both a good.
@nick20s
I'd rather have an automatic if I could. Thanks for the feed back. Really appreciate it.
This is a really tuff question. Let me give an example first, BMW's aren't the money pit in Germany as they are in the US because parts are reasonable there and they are (arguably) build better/different in Germany.
If we have a Nigerian Mech in here, that would be who I'd feel most comfortable accepting an answer from because they will have parts availability, pricing and labor costs for those cars.
@hillbilly
Both cars have available (usually salvaged) parts here. Relatively cheap. I wanted to know which one would better take the punishment of the bad roads.
Ok, then I would choose the one with manual trans. If both have manual, then Toyo.
@hillbilly
Thank you so much.
Definitely get the Toyota. Better reliability and a little bit tougher, as they've made rally cars out of them.
😁
@rallyfoz
I like this answer lol.
Id say the Toyota also. They can take a beating. Good luck with either car you choose!
@mark-13
Thank you so much. The toyota seems to be winning.
