Used cars in Nigeria come in various grades. Some of them have been around for over 20 years, while others are just barely 4-5 years old. At the same time, there are many Nigerians who are looking for the best recently used cars to purchase. 

Now, which recently used cars have the highest reliability ratings? There are a handful of brands you can consistently look to to find long-lasting cars, but nailing down specific makes, models, and years can be tricky. 

However, here’s a list of the top four recently used cars you should pick one from if that’s what you’re in the market for.

These Four Recently Used Cars Will Last a Long Time

The  #1 good thing about these cars is that they will last for a long time because of the reputation of their manufacturers of being one of the most reliable car brands across the globe. So, get your hands on any of these cars:

1. The 2019 Honda Accord 

A used Honda Accord is almost always a good idea, particularly if you’re looking for one of the most reliable pre-owned vehicles. The 2019 Accords you’ll find on dealership lots right now are more than likely lease returns. Leased cars tend to have lower mileage and be in better condition than their owned counterparts—so you could find a real steal.

How much does a 2019 Honda Accord cost? Honda is another brand with an exceptional talent for retaining value, so you’ll likely need to spend between N25 – N30 million, depending on trim level.

2. The 2019 Mazda6

The 2019 Mazda6 is a surprisingly efficient sedan along with being reliable. It’s likely to return around 32 mpg combined with its standard four-cylinder models, but it doesn’t compromise performance for fuel economy. The Mazda6 is fun to drive and channels that “Zoom-Zoom” spirit.

The 2019 Mazda6 has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a six-speed automatic transmission and has increased horsepower and torque compared to the 2018 model. While these changes are significant, Mazda also took things a step further by retuning the chassis and also reducing the vehicle’s interior noise levels.

The Mazda brand is slightly more affordable compared to other cars on this list and the price range for the used model in Nigeria is between N20 – N25 million.

3. The 2019 Toyota Avalon 

The impressive 2019 Toyota Avalon is a full-sized sedan that was redesigned for the 2019 model year so you’ll benefit from any newer changes or updates, even if you buy one used. It boasts high owner satisfaction ratings, it’s decently fuel-efficient, and its V6 engine provides plenty of fun.

How much does a 2019 Toyota Avalon cost? Finding a used model for under N30 – N35 million. Along with being one of the most reliable brands, Toyota cars are known for holding their value.

4. The 2019 Toyota Camry

The 2019 Camry—wouldn’t be a reliable used cars list without a handful of Toyotas. The 2019 Toyota Camry is almost guaranteed to outlast all of your friends’ cooler, sportier, more expensive cars. Its roomy interior, comfortable ride, and an array of safety features make any modern used Camry a smart choice.

In addition to its reliability, the 2019 Camry benefits from its great crash test results and safety features. It has three powertrains to pick from: the standard four-cylinder engine, a hybrid option, and a V6 engine available on certain trims. All trims come with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto has been added for 2019.

However, the Camry will be a lot more expensive compared to others. The price of the Camry in Nigeria today is between N30 – N38 million, depending on the trim level.

Conclusion

Nobody knows what the Nigerian used car market is going to look like over the next year or two. Buying a used car that’s built to last and won’t break the bank could be a smart move. “Cheap reliable used car” is often not the best choice, because those cars will be going out of shape.
