its an suv with good fuel economy.It has a good ground clearance if you stay in bad roads.Its a strong car and since you say you will get married soon,it will be convenient for you and your wife and also kids.Its a 4 plug suv that's still has a classy look.

So immediately he marries all the family would just appear immediately?

Guy get a Toyota Camry since you are tall or Toyota Matrix for ground clearance and fuel economy that is better than Honda if you don't want to be calling your office and telling them that your car leg don't remove for road.

I will suggest you get a car with good resell value in case you want to upgrade. This can be achieved by procuring a Toyota car or Lexus

The best car for you in that category is Toyota highlander ...my concern is if your budget can get a 3 row sitter ...I won't advice you to buy Honda crv. ..ensure you get a good one ...don't buy the one whose endomie has gone..by endomie I mean catalyst ...a good and trusted mechanic can identify that ...alternatively carry a good panel beater that will go underneath to confirm ...

Toyota Matrix for ground clearance, lol.
That's a new.

N.B: Honda CR-V leg no dey pull as you take highlight am chief, una need drop this beer parlour gist.

Your budget can get you a Rav4 or even Venza

Go for a Toyota Highlander 2008-2015 you will not regret it

you get time to de answer ignorant people o,how a generation filled with information every where yet chose to live in ignorance still baffles me,I have Toyota and Honda, good car does not start and end with Toyota only,bros I envy your Patience, I dont waste my time replying people that always attribute any Honda to leg pull,very very backward mentality, that is how one was saying advising someone against buying 2016 accord say the leg will pull,very foolish statements I must say,and the OP added Honda into his preferred choice and someone suggested a crv(very rugged and reliable SUV) and they started attacking him, imagine that kind of mentality, why not suggest their own and leave? Like say their papa has a stake in Toyota company, pls pardon my use of words I find it disgusting when so called adults behave like kids acting foolishly.

OP you have not made information enough to know what you really want, is it SUV(popularly called jeep in Nigeria lol) or Sedan, is it foreign used(popularly called toks or tukunbo in Nigeria) but you have made your budget known and brands of choice,also kindly note that most(not all) SUV comes in V6 version, so we also dont know if you are consciousness of fuel consumption.

how ever here is my opinion which I'm entitled to,before someone with a stake in Toyota company come to market his products, sedan you can look into Camry, Accord would have added corolla but you talk about height so let me leave it out,for SUV you can look into CRV,RAV4,Highlander and Pilot,however if its toks you want to buy honestly with the current prices of things now it will be difficult to get any of those options with your said budget except for a good Nigeria used,my suggestions are mostly from experience of brands I have personally used before and owned,which I'm still making use of.

then talking of second hand value let me explain that to you,second hand value is not the amount you sell your car after use,second value is the amount you sell your car after use deducted from the amount you bought it,let say you got a Camry for 3m and sold it off after some years for 2.2m OK,then you bought an accord for 2.7m and sold it off for 1.9M after some time, you lost 800k from the Camry and 800k from the accord meaning they both have similar second hand value,dont fall for that scam thinking you sold Camry for 2.2 automatically means it has better second hand value...its not always true.

bro, Honda civic and Honda crv don't have bad legs, *Honda Accord from 2013 and above ,they have a very good legs and don't pull off, ask around, I just delivered it to Abuja.... Even with the bad road and all, the fuel is superb, just a bit higher than Toyota corolla 03-07 sha... Even the so called Honda EOD don t 03 to 07, depends on your maintenance ...but you are a foolish guy sha fo think all Hondas are like that , people like you have never own a bike or keke....

bros , I like your short and wise choice of analyzing this issue , we need you as the president of this kontari (Country ).you have said it all to those childish set of ignorant local car self acclaimed car gurus wannabe ....

OP, maybe you can chat Andman up, he has quite a vast spread of cars he can help advice and purchase for you given your budget. He's the guy in the autos section that has the title: cars below 1m
But of course the cars are now costlier...
Check him up and chat him up...

This matter of “Endomine” removal ehn.
My Xterra’s catalyst was removed when I was on a trip to see my wife who was rush to the hospital.

The ride had a slow movement issue after Redeem Camp, located a nearby mechanic who has a panel beater as well.

Have much check and trial he resolved to check the silencer and I obliged not knowing his mission and he called the Panel guy. All I had in my head was to get to the Hospital and see my sick wife.

Never knew they’ve “aborted my Xterra’s catalytic converter �

Still finding the Avenue to deal with them.

Get a Mazda CX7 and tank me later. Toyota, lexus, Honda, Acura are overpriced in my opinion. Hyundai and Kia jeeps are also fine if handling is not a priority for you.

Any particular reason for recommending recommending Mazda CX7?

Terrier99:

He can go for that of 2005 with 2.8M he will get it. Its a strong and rugged car for a family.

odimbannamdi:

Simply because It's a reliable low budget SUV.

Thanks all for your advice and inputs. I'm very grateful. I finally settled for a Lexus Rx330 Year 2006, Full option( Though I don't know what this means...LOL). I was lucky to come across someone who was in dire need of money. He sold a 2 month used Rx330 for 3.650. The car is pretty clean and every other thing checks out.
