It is always best to use taxis especially when indisposed oh, in that case call 08172065753 for Uber rides. You can also order taxis yourself in such situations that require them but I can subsidize any Uber ride you take.

There are only two private taxi companies I recognize Uber and Taxify the rest still have a lot to prove. I prefer Uber simply cos it offers discounts which you can use also.

pls could anyone help.
I'm contemplating buying a sienna but something gets me confused. I see some Toyota sienna of the same model range being shorter or longer than the other. i.e, 2001-2003 xle
1, are they made by different company
2, is there any performance difference
3, if there is, which is better.

They are all same size from 1997 to 2003 the only difference is 01 to 03 has an engine and minor body upgrade than the first type. This sienna has 4 levels of trim and I arrange them from kpangolo to best
- CE
- LE
- XLE
- SYMPHONY EDITION

There are some with gold badge as in the Toyota logo and Model name is in gold instead of the normal silver colour this one's are loaded than their trim counter part both interior wise and exterior

Example I have seen a gold CE edition with roof rail, side step rail, tail roof fin and alloy wheels an ordinary CE will not have any of this.

Thanks. Your response appreciated. I agree with you on the gold badged sienna brand. I also noticed what you said about it.

Regarding the length, i don't quite agree because i spotted them parked somewhere and one was actually longer than the other by at least a foot.
Though i didn't measure them with a tape but my eyes couldn't be deceiving me.

Please confirm for me.

There is no difference in length but my guess is when this car becomes "accidented" and fixed it becomes shorter I can't really tell why. (my mother in laws own had a serious accident and was fixed I can swear it is way shorter than need be)

But I have pitched my 2000 to a 2002 model they are both same length mine even looks fatter because it's newer then but I am certain the reason is a clean one will look some how different in the eye from a old one.

From my own point of view, the Honda comes top because it isn't a robbers magnet, the corolla is solid but buy only if you will install tracker and confirm ogbonge insurance. Peugeot should be for someone who already knows about cars, so you don't get cheated by mechanic and also get stranded on the road due to negligence.

Some cars have specific issues that cannot be solved by every Tom, dick and Harry reason why I don't advice you pick Peugeot as your first car except you are buying brand new tear rubber.

Hi everyone,

If you are looking to sell or buy a car, there is a new website in Nigeria that allows you to sell your car in three simple steps:

1. Create a free account with your name and phone number,
2. Record a video of the car (Maximum of 250MB and 3 minutes).
3. Post your free ad.

All you after to do after this is wait for buyers.

If you want to buy a car also, [url]kwilist.com[/url] makes it so simple to find cars and inspect them before calling any seller.

NOTICE: Though [url]kwilist.com[/url] uses videos instead of traditional pictures (It also have an option for uses pictures if you insist on doing it the old fashioned way), watching a video doesn't consume your data. As a matter of fact, any video on [url]kwilist.com[/url] can be watched in less than 3.5MB. If a seller uploads a 100MB video, you will be watching it in less than 1.65MB.

Thanks!

Buy what is common and easily accessible in the spare parts market. The Nissan is the choice here.

But if you want to feel uncharted waters like captain jack sparrow you can buy the Antara and feel fly always grin

Depending on the weather, it takes time for the temperature to move when you aren't driving. It shouldn't pass 10mins for the car to reach optimum temperature when at stand still (what Nigerians term warming the car)

It shouldn't take less that 2mins to notice a rise in the temperature Gauge when you are driving the car so before 5mins the Guage should be at optimum when driving the car.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by pufframmy: 1:59pm On May 10, 2017
