I need a little help here guys, any good advice is welcome but if you choose to yab,abuse me, no yawa can live with it.

I am about to pay for a 2005 model Toyota Corolla, auto transmission, tokunbo car but know little about the car apart from the fact it is used by many banks,its number on the rise on naija roads. Want to know the following:

1. Does it have a second hand value?
2. If i will have to change the engine later how easilly is it available.
3. How much will a new engine cost(tokunboh).
4. Is the acceleration good.
5. Is it a durable car on naija roads.
6. Are parts easy to come by and do they come cheap. You can give me example of some parts and the cost.
7. Any particular/peculiar problems.
8. What is the best way to maintain it to last a while (3 years).
9. Can you give me the names of 2 other cars that can be compared to this?

Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

All i can say is that u will not regreat it nwhen u buy it, everything about it is durable, economical and the second hand value is that if u neatly use it u can just loose between 1 to 20 persent of what u orinally buy the car because it is hot cake for those who know the worth. Goodluck.
