Yes, you can. I have account with them. You can even bid and win cars with as low as $400 depending on the model. Shipping and clearing carries the most cost YET better and cheaper than cars here.
so how do you ship or move your car from the factory once you win an auction since it will be stated that you should move out your car within 3 day and highest a week.

Also how do you make the payment to their account, I will appreciate if you can enlightee on that because that is my biggest obstacle

They ship all cars through RORO to the port of Lagos- APMT. You clear it.

I do not like to see people say Corollas are "V4"...

It is an I4, as I have never seen a "4-cylinder Corolla" with a V engine configuration.

God bless you o.. I was telling somebody this same thing the guy de follow me argue i told him there’s nothing like v4 it’s i4 or in-line 4

Buy the corolla you won't regret it.

The avalon is not bad too but corolla is way better in everyway


Oga how is corolla way better then Avalon?
If you no know something shut up.
The only advantage the Corolla has over Avalon is the low fuel consumption and cheaper maintenance. But every other aspect the Avalon beat am 100 times.
Re: 2007 Toyota Avalon or 2007 Toyota Corolla: Which Should I Buy? by ossaisly(m): 2:13pm On Aug 03, 2019
i just sold my avalon and no regrets. Avalon is very high to maintain. Although Avalon is a very fine car than camry and it is not a "pure water" product that you see anyhow.


But base on my own experience kindly buy corolla, more easier to maintain than Avalon.

Bro do you know why people prefer the mechanic on the streets to the mechanical engineering graduate who claims he can repair cars? Experience!

In the streets, experience not books do the job. You just quoted some fine readings out of an online article for me but have you ever experienced it? I speak from experience mind you friend.

A man who wants to buy an avalon should have very deep pockets and should not even be considering a corolla in the same sentence with an avalon because when the problems come and they must surely come, he does not want to be caught napping on the avalon.

Power, sleekness; yes the avalon has got it. The corolla is just one boring piece of slow metal on the roads with handling like an old lady but never ever compare a corolla and an avalon in terms of reliability and I'm not talking about fuel economy! Don't let the sienna narrative fool you ooo my guy. Go to your nearest mechanic and confirm from them what I just told you! #peace
Wrong analogy. Mechanical engineers are not mechanics. They design, build and implement systems.
The reason why too many quacks.. aka mechanics are offering wrong advice.
The most expensive part in those 2 cars is the engine-1ZZ engine for corolla, is almost the same price with 1Mz engine for Camry. Most us here have never inquired on the price... but are forming expert online.

I see. I'm actually driving one (a Canada-used Avalon 2006 though) and I've not had any issues for the past 8 months that I got it.

I think it depends on the avenue through which you got it cos I ordered for mine directly from Canada and it was thoroughly inspected before it was brought down to Nigeria.


You may be lucky though. However, have you checked the under body? Also, adjust the front seats backward to check the bolts holding the chairs together and see if it's rusty. Those cars might be clean on the outside, but they can be rusty in some hidden parts. Hence, it is not good for the well being of any car at the long run, as rusts spreads to other components of the body.

BOTH CARS HAS ITS OWN FEATURES,

THEY ARE IMCOMPARABLE, AVAALON IS MORE LUXURIOUS AND COMFORTABLE WITH V6 ENGINE, IF U DRIVE ONE TO A LONG JOURNEY YOU WILL NEVER THINK OF BUYING A CORROLLA.
CORROLLA IS SOO BORING JUST BECAUSE ITS FUEL EFFICIENT, I LIKE CARS WITH POWER, I WILL NEVER BUY A 4CYLINDER CAR EXCEPT THERE BABA TOYOTA HILUX.
ur a guy like me, i use lexus es 350

My brother if you like yourself, don't ever I mean ever consider buying an Avalon. That's one of the quickest routes to the village. That motor go put you for street ooo grin even yahoo boys sef dey see the car dey run now Lol

Go for the corolla and save yourself the pains hassles and problems! Avalon na very problematic car and I am speaking from experience... Matter of fact, many experiences! Forget as e long like ojile bread ooo forget that sleek shape... It's a very unreliable and useless car! Enough said

False. Avalon uses the same drivetrain and powertrain (Engine and trans) as sienna and camry-MZ series. 2. 5L to 3.3l engine
Corolla has 1.4 to 1.8L
Avalon has better torque and more efficient in pulling out of bottomless potholes and muddy areas..LESS wear and tear on the engine, but takes more FUEL to do the work.
Corolla has less torque and less efficient in navigating “beautifully tarred/paved” Naija roads..but it puts a lot of wear and tear on engine and trans. You save more in fuel cost, but give up on longevity, wear and tear.
About fuel, the MPG difference is only 6miles/10km

Lol ask the person you sold it to Hafa grin

My friend despite all warning went ahead to buy one from a guy who used his for only 8 months. He's been with the car for about 8 months now too and what he's spent on that car till date can comfortably buy him a neatly used Nigerian corolla. Hope you get my drift? I still got plenty stories to talk but if I start to talk, hehehe u go even pity me send me money grin

Why do you prefer Camry and Avalon over corolla?
Camry and avalon, are more luxurious and classy than cheap looking corola

Please kindly give reasons for your assertion, Sir.

I'm highly interested in the 2006/2007 Avensis, but unfortunately, I don't know the strengths and weaknesses of the car.

I will be very happy if you could give detailed reviews and/or comparisons with the Corolla of same year.

Thanks in advance, Sir.

I drive Toyota avensis 2007.... Its an excellent car... Fuel economy is reasonable... The car is elegant and go to go at any moment.... U may contact me if u need more about the car or if u need one

Bros, may God bless you more abundantly for this timely response.

I actually need to know more about the car. I have always admired the aesthetics of that Avensis but I haven't been privileged to ride in one.

My enquiries are mostly centred on the Durability, Ruggedness, Performances and Fuel Efficiency of the 2006/2007 Avensis, especially in comparison to the Corolla of same model years.

Thanks in anticipation of your understanding and prompt response.

May your fountains never run dry.

Rule out the avalon pls... The Corolla is close to it.. The Corolla and d avensis are at pal...u may go for either... U will Enjoy the ride... Fuel economy for the two is OK. Comfort is there. Durability and ruggedness they both got there... So, I think pray about the two and let God direct ur path..... My two cents!
