Please Help Me Make A Choice. by docbindl(m): 7:29am On Sep 19, 2015
Which is the best to go for using RUNNING COST AND ACCESS TO SPARE PART AS CRITERIA.

2008 PEUGEOT 407
2002 AUDI A4
2003 TOYOTA CAMRY
2005 HONDA ACCORD.


NB: I have a slight bias towards the Peugeot. But I need advice

Peugeot depends on your location.

If you live in Lagos, kaduna. Anambra,asaba, you are safe.

If you are the type that swims to work and back, please don't go near the peugeot.


Kingreign come and advice

Running cost depends on many factors. Accord and Camry's spare parts are abound and so is their mechanics, peugeot and Audi's spare parts could be a bit scarce so is their mechanic.
The audi 1.8 and peugeot 1.8 engines have good MPGs.
But if I were to give a candid advice, I'd say choose a CAMRY or an accord.

lomomike, must you always be biased, why write the camry in caps and the ACCORD in small letter.

The 407 is a good looking car, the only issue I have with them is their obd port, different from the japs but the peugeot brands are solid rock love the shark shape of the 407.

The 2005 accord has been rated very high especially the EX-L trim very solid and good looking. My inlaw uses the 2006 DC, changes engine oil (Mobil 0W40) and gear oil every 6months.

As much as I hate (extremely boring) the camry big daddy it is the best out of the 4 for naija roads the Accord may look, feel and have better gadgets than it, but note this camry big daddy will last and last and last and will take all the abuse thrown at it. The parts are cheap because there a many chinko parts of this ride which are not durable at all.

Audi A4, well what can I say, a speed demon and special swaggs I only know 1 guy using this and I don't rap with him

All Peugeot scan ports, including the 407, are the same with every other brand of cars, except those produced from 1995-1996 (and maybe some 1997 productions), which will require an adapter before it can be scanned with the OBD II scan tool.

Awareness is why most people perish in ignorance. The whole Abuja roads are full with both Brand new and used Peugeots, in all types of models, phases and production years.Peugeot 407 is even becoming more on Abuja roads than the Peugeot 406 almost everyone in Abuja now drive or wants to own.

The Lion Community I founded are increasing on daily basis. Some members are on the facebook, while some are on WhatsApp. We are over 200 members now, still counting. Members are learning in the community how to keep these lions as designed and enjoy reliable and durable motoring service with love and appreciation. Members are taught what not to do on a lion to enjoy the aggressive performance for a very very long time they were designed to offer. Members are been taught how to easily diagnose a Peugeot if something goes wrong, without abusing the systems. Members are loving their lions more and inviting friends and lion owners they know or meet on daily basis to join the community and enjoy wealth of Knowledge and tips shared freely. Few members have even upgraded to brand new, because of smile their previous lions put on their faces. Like I said, lack of awareness is why people perish and reject good life they truly wished for.

Your decision, your choice, your reality.

thanks for the heads up on the obd, but I only notice peugeots are more common in the Northern part of Nigeria. Peugeot you will find hard to even come across in the south west and east (yoruba and igbo) sorry for my ethnic use, it's to drive home a point are in abundant in the north.

Re: Please Help Me Make A Choice. by docbindl(m): 2:52pm On Sep 22, 2015
I just read somewhere now that once a Peugeot hits a milage of 180k. It develops lot of electrical faults.
How true is this?
I know cars develop fault but the way it's said makes it sounds as if it's a sure bet that it must develop electrical fault regularly after getting to that milage.

First thing you need to do is to stay still, take a deep breath and release the negative energy you have built up. Because the negative energy is drawing more negative things to you, because thats the vibration you are putting out.

You said in the first post that you are biased toward Peugeot. For that, all you will see and keep attracting once you remain in that vibration is to keep attracting negative remarks, comments and even people that will give you false information about Peugeot. Even the research you have done so far, you were attracted to negative or false comments, because thats exactly what you want. There are so many positive posts and comments on Peugeot cars online, but only the negative ones you found worth commenting on. Do you see where I am going?

Not every information or comments in online about Peugeot were put by People who know what modern Peugeot car keys looks like, let alone drive or own one, yet they know all about Peugeot, which they learnt from same negative comments posted by biased people toward Peugeot. Some people found it joyful to condemn or blame something when they fail in something their fellow human beings have become succesfull in. This goes to people that abuse their Lions and put blames on their Lions. Some people simply want public acceptance by conforming to what people say and spreading the message, even if its negative or false, just to belong or remain acceptable. The good side is, people are becoming aware of the truth about Peugeot cars that serve them, that's why they are increasingly joining the Peugeot family. The Lion Community is rapidly growing and that explains a lot to all I have said.

One thing is clear, good Life doesn't wait for anyone, same as wealth. They flow to people ready to accept them, appreciate them, be grateful for them and live them fully. While some are busy complaining how things are hard, how no money is in circulation, some people are busy earning and making millions of profits annually, monthly, weekly or even daily. Prosperity does not care who you are, it cares about who wants it because the person believes he/she deserves it and attract it. Peugeot 407 have become a common household car for Abuja inhabitants, same way Peugeot cars are increasing on Abuja road everyday. Good life does not wait for anyone who is busy analysing, judging or looking for negative sides of everything. You either jump in or you keep focusing on what negativity has to offer in deciding the car to settle for.

One of my modern Lions has exceeded 180,000 kilometer mileage and the entire electrics of the Lion remain perfect.

It's ok if you prefer another car in your list than the 407, but do yourself a favor, Avoid negative reviews of any of the cars you listed. To put it in another way, focus on the positive sides of each of those cars your list. The one your heart resonates with it, go for it.

Your call!

Thanks Ikenna, you can blame me, am a stickler for ideal situation, more so this is my first buy.
So am like a woman who's pregnant for the first time, everything she hears, she ponder and worry about it.
And goes back to her doctor to tell him and help him make sense of it. So me coming to you is coz I want you to help make sense of all am hearing. I have heard a lot of good things about Peugeot, but of course, no one worries about good thing. Its be bad things we worry about.
And that's why I wish to get your book/CD. Am also gonna contact Guzzuzz as you have recommended.

Hmmm Ikenna351 taking his Lion soul winning campaign to this thread.......
Op jejely settle for the 2005 Accord EX-L V6, 2008 407 is no doubt a nice car but stay away from it.
Note: there is a reason the 2003 Camry is christened "Big for nothing".
