Bros,kindly re-write your advert in a simple and easy to read format.

Or is that London style? please use paragraphs and try to space your lines.

Moreso if you could be more elaborate on such things as the year of manufacture of the vehicles.
I am interested in the v-boot .

Thanks.

OLIVE TREE I DONT MEAN TO BE RUDE,, I AM JUST 29, AND I AM A LECTURER AT SOUTHBANK UNIVERSITY, LONDON.I TAUGHT ENGLISH IN NIGERIA FOR JAMBITES FOR 3 YRS.THIS IS NT A SITE TO START WASTING TIME AND ARRANGING PARAGRAPHS,, IF YOU CAN'T READ WHT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN THEN TOUGH!I OBSERVED SEVERAL TYPOS TOO IN YOUR COMMENTS BUT I AM NT HERE TO START CORRECTING ESSAYS,,, ANYWAY WE BE BROTHERS, THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE ON THE YR OF THE CARS,
THE ROVER 75 IS YR 2000 FULL SPEC ,RHD
FORD EXPLORER IS YR 2000 FULL SPEC,RHD
MERC 230E AUTO,OPEN ROOF,CARB ENG,LHD,YR 94 BUT SOLIDLY CLEAN,
CHEERS

Lerelondon, your response to Olivetree's comment is nothing short of rude.

He / she could be a potential customer, and saying "tough!" kind of sums up your attitude.
You're in a buyer's market, and comments should be taken on board.

Besides the lack of paragraphing, the fact you've chosen to write in capitals makes for "interesting" reading.
In terms of internet / email / letters, it's considered as shouting.

Just another point - that Mercedes 230E (124 series) won't be carburettor, but Bosch Jetronic fuel injection.
Bosch Jetronic fuel-injected models initially look like carb-fed engines, due to the air filter design, but they're not.
Any Mercedes Benz with the "E" designation after the numbers - 200[b]E[/b], 220[b]E[/b], 230[b]E[/b], 260[b]E[/b], 280[b]E[/b], 300[b]E[/b], 320[b]E[/b], 340[b]E[/b], 360[b]E[/b], 420[b]E[/b], 500[b]E[/b] is fuel-injected.

The "E" stands for "Einspritzung" which is German for fuel injection.

@Siena
You lost your smelling organ?

^^^Not the last time I checked.

SIENNA, YOU WOULD NOT TELL ME HOW I CHOOSE TO TYPE HERE.WOULD BE GOOD IDEA TO TELL KIDS WHT CAPS STANDS FOR, I AM AMAZED AT HOW YOU GUYS TAKE UNNECESSARY THINGS AS YOUR MAIN GOAL.MR. CAR AS I WOULD REFER TO U, THE 230E I HAVE IS CARBURATOR AND FOR YOUR INFO IT IS NOT THE 124,,OK, I KNOW HE IS A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER AS I APPRECIATED HIS ADVICE AND AS YOU WOULD HAVE READ ALL MY COMMENTS BACK I STILL SAID WE ARE BROTHERS.WE DISAGREE TO AGREE. INSTEAD OF CONCENTRATING ON THE POSITIVES OF MY REPLY TO HIM, YOU CHOSE TO PICK THE ONE WORD,'TOUGH', DID YOU NOTE TOO THT HE SAYS ,,'IS THT HW WE DO IN LONDON', DO YOU CONSIDER THAT AS RUDE??
ANYWAY, THE USE OF MY CAPS IS JUST TO AROUSE INTEREST TO READ, OK.

Lerelondon, your mercedes 230E is not a carb-fed engine!

A carb version would be a 230 without the "E".

I did see Olivetree's comment, and whilst it may have had a hint of sarcasm to it, it wasn't rude.
As I said, it's a buyer's market, and dealing with potential customers' requires a lot of patience.
The customer is always King, regardless of how they may come accross.

As for the way you choose to write, I'm not telling you how to do so.
I can only comment, how you choose to take that's entirely down to you.
Writing in capitals does not neccessarily arouse interest - if it was an application in paper format, it's would probably be discarded.
I'm not being derogatory here, merely stating the obvious.
At 29, you're a lot younger than I am, I've lived a long time.

Back to the Mercedes 230E, I can state with confidence, Mercedes never built a 230E with a carburettor engine.
230E = Bosch Jetronic fuel injection
230 = Carburettor

Please disregard the way the air filter housing looks, it's not a carb.
The "V boot" as it was generally regarded in Nigeria was W124, Mercedes-Benz internal chassis-designation for the 1984 to 1995 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

I work on cars for a living, Lerelondon, and don't make mistakes when it comes to things such as model designation, or engine type.
Perhaps if you post the VIN, it'll help, and I can tell you more about your car.

Just to let you know for sure, your Mercedes 230E's a fuel-injected model:

"With the exception of the 200, which was equipped with a Stromberg or Pierburg carburetor but was not available to the United States, fuel injection was standard, and the engines incorporated features that maximised performance".

@siena
siena, u knw wht it means dealing with ourselves,, So briefly, if i chose to use caps , it wld nt necessarily portray shouting, ok.
Well,, I am here to sell my car, Thanks for the info on the v-boot,,,
cars still available for very good prices,

hi all, i have gt a rover 75 connosseur full spec(rhd) ford explorer (rhd)ful spec(both yr 2000 and a v-boot 230e 94,auto,,lhd,,the cars are in ibadan, all the three cars are very very clean, never used in nigeria , I am in london and coming by march ,,the cars are in Ibadan,,You can go and see them and then see how clean they all are,if interested then we can strike a deal,,,traders welcome , contact me on +447859730430.

Lerelondon, I'm glad we at least got that sorted, the Mercedes 230E's engine type, that is.

Sienna ,, if you are older than me, you are not better in the use of English language.take it or leave it. I am not writing an essay or proposal here so you should know when I said i was arousing interest you should have known I meant eye-catching stunts or not even necessarily paying attention to it even in the first instant, I think that is fair rather than doing typo errors,
I would rather you gave car advice as I have read your posts, It is not how old but how reasonable!
No grudges held against you, but I am apalled at how people reply to messages here,
Where are you based??I can see you know lots abt cars,,,what do u think the rover 75 rhd,full spec,rhd,never used in Nigeria, ford explorer yr 2000 full spec rhd, wld cost in Nigeria,,they are very very clean and never been used in Nigeria. can you recommend a buyer??

The Mercedes is hard to place a price on, as it's long been obsolete.
It was popular here, especially in 300D form, diesel's are generally preferred here in large cars.

The Explorer again, is hard to determine how much it's worth in a buyers market - I guess any car's worth what a buyer's willing to pay.
The Rover may be more popular, there was one on here recently, that had been converted to LHD, but was a lesser spec than yours.

I'd say allowances should be made for their conversion to LHD - the Ford and the Mercedes.

Point taken, I won't get involved in how you word your adverts - you know best.
But one thing I'd say - advertise each vehicle seperately, with clear descriptions, pictures, VIN and any other information that'll make them more attractive to potential buyers.

People are attracted to pictures, the way they're grouped here in a single advert, doesn't say much about them.
A pictures's worth a thousand words.

As for myself, I'm based in the UK.

Its funny the way we human beings are.
Simply cos this guy lectures at Southbank Uni, he feels he has achieved one very "big" thing like that. Or maybe cos he is in London.

I am not surprised sha, when i saw d ID, "lerelondon", i laughed cos its those kind of pple dt spend years sleeping at walter carrington b4 they got their visa dt use such ids.
Obviously, he feels every other person living in naija na bush person.

as if its not the same southbank dt we knw. If he were lecturing at LSE, imperial or oxford nko?, dt means d chip on his shoulder will require a bulldozer to remove. Upon say u claim to be english instructor, u no fit construct ur sentences to be appealing. olodo, mr london

Abeg go sell your cars for hackney and stop boasting here. 29 yrs old guy wey never mature.

olivetree u are so daft!ur mates are busy sorting their lives out you are there wasting away,,you are just another foolish guy on here.I am 29 but richer than your family put together.I had my first degree at O.A.U and finished with first class.Finished my M.B.A at Herriot Watt .
You can't match me in anyway.You are upset that I brought out your foolishness.I told you guys what I do, to let you know my caps was not a mistake, ok. Idiot, another deported cleaner, you have not even smelt the airport before, fool.If I come to Nigeria I can set u up big time, If you are not scared leave your number for me .I swear I would meet u up and beat nonsense from your body.If you do not know me go and ask of lere family from the north! Were you not the first to say that is how we london guys write.You are so so daft. That shows you are a clown.I am Nigerian, ok.
Your sentences are just useless, plus you don't use small 'i'in sentences, you use 'I'.If that is a new thing you learn then thank your stars,
your mates are buying solid ride , you are looking for v-boot,obo!
People like you are not worth taking the time to even use English Language for, talkless of CAPS,
LEAVE YOUR NUMBER IF YOU ARE MAN ENOUGH, IDIOT.BUSH GOAT!

Shuoo,    una 2 get beef before?

Lere, you may be all that and even more, but you sure do need some coaching on your attitude and interpersonal skills. There was really NO need to spit out such venom, you may find you'll hold onto your vehicles for a really loooooong time mate!

@darqly if u read up you would know this guy is so stupid, there are things you would just ignore and say wht u are here for ,,but he was so foolish he said london guys write in caps,,foolishly not knowing he is talking to someone who he cant even walk with on the road due to his inferiority,,True talk I spilt venom but he sure deserves it.I was warned b4 i joined this site of some people who just try to stupid.
@siena who has the right to tell you wht to do? you knw why u are here and I must ssay u are one of the nicest guys here,fact! and I am guessing you are not based in nigeria,,I can tell,
so siena do u knw wht the spec on the one listed earlier was and wht the asking price was for so i know if to convert b4 selling although I intend selling like that.Its a beautiful car i used for abt a yr here and just had a yrs mot so it drives perfect and very clean,,Please advice,

Here's one in RHD:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-200733.0.html

You'll have to dig for the other one - it was a RHD converted to LHD, can't remember any more details.

Abeg, All of una, make una leave this lere guy before he fight all nairalander finish. Mr lecturer, you are just wasting ur time lecturing, thank God for your life, you are in the state just contact Mike Tyson and state training. Boxing will be more of it for you than lecturing because the way you dey behave you go dey beat students for class oooooooooooooooooo.

My brother change your attitude. Me I know say u go abuse me say i no go school, no wahala but take my advice, it will help you.

Love yahhhhhhhhhhhhh

lerelondon,
You have no reason to be unduly combative when guys are merely suggesting that you need to make yourself comprehensible.
For your education, where you live or work does not derogate from your upbringing. When someone comes from a deprived background, it is not unusual for such a fellow to be carried away by common achievements.
You claim to be an English Lecturer yet you muddle up an ad in such a way that the essence of communication is lost. You put up an ad with no outline, no paragraphs and obfuscated in such a way that puts off the reader and all you need to tell us is that you are a rich lecturer. What you consider an impossible achievement is taken for granted in the part of Nigeria that I come from, so go back and polish your manners.
You are a language specialist (so you said), what is the essence of language if not to communicate? When you employ a language in a marketing medium, it should be done in such a way that your audience dont lose the essence.

I am from Ogun State (Ijebu) and most of our grandfathers went to Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, not to talk of our immediate parents, so your Southbank deal is commonplace here. So quit this pettiness and find better things to do with your time. You dont have the temperament to manage your success and same applies to business.
Before you start off, I am a Lawyer (aged 40) with my first degree from Yale(US) and my LLM from Southhampton(UK). I worked in the UK/US from 91 till 2005 before I returned to Nigeria to run my family business. You should stop running your mouth that the guys here are paupers. Im sure you are one of those guys who struggle to buy economy tickets (once in a year) yet you keep bragging that you have money. It does appear that London is your ultimate but we have seen it all, so go get some sleep.

@Lerelondon,

It's amazing to hear from you that you finished at IFE (O.A.U) with distinction and also finished with your MBA in London.

1) I finished from O.A.U (Ile-Ife)- Greattttt Ife myself and i must say you've let us down with your attitude witnessed above in your reply to different postings. How soon you forgot GREAT IFE motto "FOR LEARNING & CULTURE" . I'm ashamed to identify with your area boy attitudes and to say that you are a teacher/lecturer for that matter. If you persist in bringing the name of the school to total disrepute, i will have no choice but to recommend to the school that your alumni status be withdrawn. Even though i don't have the power to withdraw your 1st degree certificate(Like they do for those in medical proffession) i will have done that for proffessional ethics.

2) You said you've finished MBA in London and i've just finished the theory aspect of my MBA in Nigeria and i'm writing my project presently. From the way you projected yourself,i can only deduce that you went through the school without learning anything. You've learnt the act of cramming stuffs enough to earn marks to get first class(to amass certificates-typical Nigerian)) but your expression and manifestation of knowledge is zero[b]( Remember Jesus said "by their fruits we shall know them"--- not by the quality of their certificates, their boasting, strength,family background)[/b]

Let me remind you the following subjects at MBA class(I might not be as intelligent as you are but i'm a practical person like Bill Gates) to reset/refresh your memory;-

- MARKETING MANAGEMENT & STRATEGY

- BUSINESS POLICY & STRATEGY

-CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

- INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

- BUSINESS RESEARCH METHOD

- ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR

- BUSINESS LAW

Just to mention few relevant ones for you to go back and brush up your lecture notes. Please take note of the Business Law- It is very essential before you run foul of the law(It's just an advice- before you're properly charged for Threat,
manslaugther/Murder).

- I'm doing an assignment on a topic presently titled "No customer No organisation" and i'm learning fast that CUSTOMER IS KING and i will implore you to stop bragging about who you are because it is irrelevant to the customers but i have an assignment for you i.e Do a research on CONSUMERISM and get back to the forum with a change attitude,you'll be saved and blessed if you do.

3) A TYPICAL ADVICE-- Keep the focuss and attention of your customers on your product and not on yourself. By your attitude you have successfully directed the attention of everybody on your attitude and your cars are suffering for it.


FINALLY-- Henceforth i will implore you to watch your attitudes on the web, i've been in the IT/ICT/TELECOMS Environment for a while to know the benefits and the calamity it can bring to your person-- brother wake-up from your slumber you're in the glare of the whole world. i.e this thread can be wired to your MBA School for them to see how one of their product is advertising them or to the School in London where you're lecturing(I trust your supervising proffessor will like to have first hand info as to your attitude).

NOTE also that your threat of coming to Nigeria in march to come and commit manslaughter/murder can be sent to Nigerian Police(They will be waiting to pick you up at the airport--Infact they will like your Pounds denomination)

"FOR THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVE BASHING FROM Lerelondon I'M APPOLOGISING TO ALL BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF GREAT IFE(O.AU) THAT WAS DRAGGED ON THE MUD,IT IS NOT IN OUR CHARACTER TO DO THAT. WE NEVER TAUGHT HIM THAT IN IFE,HE MUST HAVE LEARNT IT FROM LONDON"

Please Lerelondon, i will not reply you if you reply with abusive language,i'm already putting on my CRASH HELMENT.

HAPPY SELLING

@ poster.
Since your business here was just selling a car,I wonder what your being defensive was all about.Totally uncalled for.It wasn't like you needed to prove your quality to anyone.Relax, it's only a public forum.Leave the arguments for boardroom and bedroom issues.

This Lerelondon is by no means a true reflection of the london based nairalanders on this site.
Lerelondon you come across as violent and rude, thats no way to try and sell your cars.
you claim to be a lecturer at southbank university indeed i am suprised, i did not know southbank now employs holigans.
i personally would recomend you are ignored at all costs.

Mr Lecturer, I am very happy to tell you that you're probably the most stupid person yet on this website. You completely ignored the rules of posting cars on this forum and went on to insult and threaten other users of the forum. I am glad to announce to you and all that know you that your education was a waste of money and I am certain that you definitely cannot do better than you have so far. It might do you some good to jump into the Thames.
Foolish goat like you, people dey this website dey sell 2008 Mercedes, you carrry V.Boot wey I don dash person 4 years ago and useless RHD Rover, come dey make yanga dey abuse person. God punish you, waka.
If you want my number, I will put it up here and if you know say you dey crase call me when you reach Naija. Egbesu punish you. Bastard.

ROFLMAO @ Mr Lerelondon
They always say an empty barrel makes the loudest noise. Have you ever seen Jarus (someone with great educational achievements) brag all over nairaland about his educational achievements?
What you don't know/realise is that a lot of peeps here are first class students with great jobs living happily but extremely modest. You come on NL bragging about u being a common lecturer in London.
The last time i checked the rich issue pay cheques not the other way round. Your salary is probably not more than 25k per annum which is serious chicken change for some of us on NL
Go get a serious life and learn how to be modest as it might help you reach greater heights in life.

@siena, thanks for your help, apparently u are a reflection of these guys here below, keep it up, some wldbe here to tell their stories ,, trust me.
@chukster,, you are so daft and foolish that your life as i can decipher is thrash.For one I am very sure you are an ugly bastard but I have great news for you.Please leave your number for me. I swear I would render you incapacitated.I would really love to deal with you.Ibo bastard! or where ever you are from, fool.What have you posted here.Mr. car dasher,,who do u think you are talking to.I bet u were disowned ,,,May God destroy you and your family.Please leave your number here, I would make sure your legs are broken, trust me,
@jaybee if your entire family is on 25k then I singularly can feed ur family, ok,, bushman!I for one I am content but I bet you you are another ugly teetotaller on here,, I now know some stupid Nigerians like yourself still exists,I am thinking I have much to do in Nigeria. please leave ur number here for me, animal!
@jodesky,, you are 40 and still a big fool, how many times has ur wife cheated on you, I bet you are a clown.It takes a few minutes to establish that fact,, Well if I get to 40 then i must have tripled ur senses,,fool, Mr southampton.I have been invited for my Atc training there ,,Does it ring a bell??It shows someone with real intelligence can be successful there,,So if ur common sense does nt tell you that the way I posted my adverts was so tht stupid goats like u are non important then knw tht for now.and if atall u gt kids , go do a dna test as you are not the biological father(s),,,
@ibroman, you sound reasonable. good luck
@astar2008, well u make no sense atall, I would rather u keep ur incompetencies to ur self,
@kaestro, my intention was nt to make up trouble as I have championed trouble in its most serious sense and people like some guys i mentioned above are just so so small, trust me,, Do u know the best of both worlds? well I am very innocent as a dove and I cld charge like a lion.name it , we've done it!just read on as the guys here would tell their stories here soonest, !I am using that as my job for spring,
@evangy69, you have gt real time, you are just so vain,,listing course and topics,, who ask u,, yes i would threaten any fool who comes into my business, In the first place, how many of u thrash did I send messages to? Can you see how foolish and jobless you guys are??well go through ur studies as u wld just be another jobless passaway!
@ all u idiots how many of you did I send messages to? None , do u see your foolishnesswhy cant u idiots mind ur business,
may God damage anyone who fiddles in my affairs again, AMEN.
