At old glory,

someone wants to sell a benz 190 for 400k here in Nigeria, what is your opinion?

Otoks

That is a Good Question, do you by any chance have a Picture of the vehicle?Do not pay more than N350k.

FYI: I will be in Nigeria/Ghana/SA on Vacation from December20th - February 4th. I am sorry but i will not be around to answer Automotive questions during that time period. I guess i will resume my freelance Automotive review when i get back to the USA in Feb.

what are the pros and cons of benz 190?

Ol' Shame, how u dey? Need your opinion on this. The '89/90 Nissan Primera looks very much like the Infiniti G20, u would agree. Is the Infiniti car an american response to the japanese auto maker? I bet i could use a few parts of the G20 as replacement for my Primera. Am i right? Do they have same engine as well? Again on Mitsubishi, the Nativa and Montero Sport LE look too similar. Are these automakers crazy enough to give us old wine in new bottles, or what, with a few variations, of course? Wishin' u a cool vac and merry xmas in advance,

SeyiJay,
The Nissan Primera is same as the Infiniti G20. Nissan owns Infiniti and what they did was that they transferred Primera to there luxury line which is Infiniti. That's how they operate in the states. It's just like Toyota Landcruiser but it's called Lexus Landcruiser in the states now. I hope this helps.

This is responding to Seyijay.

The concept of giving the same cars 2 differnt names is called "Rebadge engineering". Its not that they think the consumers are crazy but its done for several reasons.

1. Image.
People on the "come up" might not mind driving a primera. However some big boys might think they are too big for nissan. so they buy infiniti g20. which is essentially the same car so the manuf. gets to satisfy 2 diff sets of with one product.

A case in point.Believe it or not Lexus, though made in Japan was targeted mainly for the US. I say "targeted mainly". even though its made by toyota. The same Lex 400 is sold in japan as a simple toyota for years. its not until last year sept that lex 430 is available in japan. sold as lex. As crazy as it sounds, lex will be produced in japan ans shipped outside in entirety without any one being sold in japan. that only stopped last year.
If lex has been shipped to US as a toyota, i guarantee you they will fail simply cos fo image. Rich people dont want to say they drive toyota

2. Economy.
On the side of the manuf. they get to spead out the same product over several brand and charge for it like crazy. If you walk into nissan dealership and say you want a primera brake pads. they may say $25. however same pads labelled as infiniti will be about 30% more cos you pay more for infiniti.

so if you know what cars are equivalent. you will save a lot of $$$ if you buy the cheap equivalent. its same thing by same manuf.

hope it helps.

OK Guys!

I see you all have missed me. This is your boy Old Glory!! I just open my own Auto outfit in the USA and i have all the tools to answer any question you might have or fill your needs. My Vacation was cool, Nigeria was fun, i do not know how you guys survive out there, God Bless you all that live it up there. I cannot live there any more. But anyway, i am very busy and i will try to help "As much as i can". Go ahead and let me have it.

Democrat formerly Old Glory!!
We took back the House and Senate in America and we swept the Governorship races and in 2008 Hillary or Barack will be residing on Pennsylvania Ave!!

Democrat,

I am happy that you enjoyed your vacation in Nigeria. I believe that this Country will change for the better.

Anyway, someone told me that I can get a Toyota Camry 1999 Model for about N1.2m (Cost + Shipping) here in Nigeria.

Please can you confirm if this possible? What will be the condition of this type of car? Is it advisable to go ahead with this option or alternatively get a Kia for about N1.7m.

Lewa

Superman

What year S70 are you talking about?

Ajibade

I would advice you to go for the Camry, i think you should be able to get it for N1.2Million easy! Just check the VIN number and seatbelt and door panel to make sure you are getting a 99 and not a 97. Send me the VIN number before you buy and i will advice you better.

Old Glory or any other used car guru on this forum, can you please tell me how much a Toyota Yaris Hatchback is? How much approximately would I spend on shipping?

Skosko02

What year Yaris? 2006 or 2007. I think you should budget btw $12500 - $13500 to landed in Lagos.

DEmo

s70 8yrs and less i mean 7 , 6 5 yrs down

and what do u think about that car is it strong can it survive in nigeria after long journey and stuff !

still me brov

much respect!!

Old Glory, true talk!Hope say u no mind me refering to you as O.G!Never used to Democrat.
