Hi, very sorry for digressing from the topic.... Please I need expert advice on my car,

I used Audi A4 2002 2.0. I recently walked in to a workshop where I complain about my speedometer not working and they traced it down to a faulty tone ring that is slack on the flywheel.....(I am not too good on this part names). The tone ring was removed and I drove down to another place without the tone ring for like an hour just to check someone. After few hours, I drove out and the problem started.... ... i just observed that the car was not moving well, I shifted the gear to manual mode and saw that the gear has been on gear 1 not able to move to other gear. I packed and tried other position like reverse and N position, they all work. I later called my mechanic who checked the gear oil and confirmed it was okay. Now, some said my gear is faulty that I need to change it, some said it is electrical problem. Can the tone ring absence cause the gear to be stick to gear 1? please I need experience advice before they spoil this car for me.... Thanks
You took your car to a mechanic that has got no clue of what they where doing,1st off ur speedometer is picked up by a sensor that can be on ur ABS, ur output under transfer case or un top axle. I don't see how this has anything to do with what your initial Mech did,
My advice, tell that Mechanic to undo what he did, take your car for a comprehensive scan and get it fixed.

Can someone please help on how to fix rear tyre tilt in Rav4 2002 model? The tyres tilt inward at the top and there is no provision to set alignment on rear tyres.

Was it involved in a rear quarter collision?
What's the state of the shocks?

You just spoiled the early sense you made. If I wanted to get scammed, I would have jumped at it without bringing it on the floor here. Anyway, thanks for your prior advice.

Hello guys. Pls I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but even if it isn't, pls someone should kindly redirect me to the right place. I relocated to Lagos a few months ago cuz I got a job here. But Transportation has been an issue. I'm not really used to the struggling. So I've decided to get a car. So my question is, what's the cheapest car that I can get as a bachelor that's fuel efficient and can do the job. I'm not looking for smtin flashy. All I want is a healthy used car. Not Nigerian used Sha. I know ppl buy cars from cotonou so smtin like that. A friend suggested golf 3. So if I'm to get a golf, how much do I need. Other car suggestions are welcome.
P.S. I have like 500k to spare.

196.7miles*1.6= 314.72km
314.72km/29=10.58km/l
That's a good average.

Someone should help me out here, I met this dude online and he showed me a car Toyota Camry 2000 and that the car is going for 300k. Just that the only problem is the AC. That it needs to be refilled.

2)is there any possibility that I am going to be scammed. Because the dude sounded so genuine
