I used same car and can tell you that the car is a good buy. The evaporative issue is minor, just get a hood mechanic to check your cooling system wella. You can negotiate for 1.2M.- 1.3M. Just ensure it's a first body, just make sure the a.c is good, check the odometer reading. Honda is beau, you will not regret it, go for it.

Pls I need an extra head on making this decision. I want to buy a accord 2009(2.4 ivtec). Due to financial constraints I have to go for a Nigerian used. Amongst all the ones I have seen it appears to be in better shape. No suspension noice,no electrical bypass. Thermostat still intact. How ever I noticed the car may have been Accidented before it was imported and the dealer flashed it(small issue) I noticed airbag light is on(small issue) I decided to run a scan and I got 2 codes. One is abs related(I can work my way around that) the real one that gives me worries is the p145c code with is an evap system problem. I know about this things a bit even though I am not a Honda person. Owner is asking for 1.6m considering all this things listed is this a good buy ?

What you should do is conduct a paid service vin service check....

Post results here, then we carry on..........

aAK1:
it’s been done

Lexusgs430:



Where is the history?.....

not good o. The auction picture alone was a turn off. Car had been in an accident and from what I can see, it may have bent the chassis

A point to note, majority of imported cars on our roads today. Would have experienced either major or minor impact damage.......

You just have to select your own poison with care..........

Lexusgs430:




The crash beam looks intact, I don't see any chassis damage, unless you post pictures of drivers side, one can never really tell.........

aAK1:
I don’t. Didn’t want to be wasting money on getting full report ��

Lexusgs430:




The cost of a full report vs cost of vehicle..........


If you buy a complete lemon, the cost of the report, would be worth it's weight in strawberries........

aAK1:
I understand jare. My mind isn’t just into it like before

GAZZUZZ:


P145c can be caused by a leaking seal in fuel pump assy.

It should not be one of your worries.

The crash I can see in pics was all accessories damage, ( bonnet, fender, radiator , condenser , grill, bumper cooling fans ) does not look like the airbag deployed. It's accident history is fair considering the thousands that roam about.

Concentrate on engine, TRANSMISSION, air-conditioning and wiring issues.

Good luck .

in the Nigerian context first body simply implies factory body. Meaning it hasn’t been painted or body filled

boss. I really didn’t want to disturb you yesterday. I was thinking u could be busy. If you remember I just briefly mentioned the rave limit which you confirmed was normal. On the inside it doesn’t look like the airbag deployed but the cell is on. Ac is good, no engine leaks, Gear selects well but I wouldn’t know what it will do when it’s hot. I still want to go and check color and smell of gear oil. Wiring is intact. As I stated in my post, the connection for cooling is still factory. Mileage is low as well . Thanks Boss

Wetin we wan gain if the mileage no low again
