Things To Note Before Buying Tokunbo Car Engines by bobi4brown(m): 5:51pm On Feb 28, 2018
Being a spare parts dealer for over 15years plus, there are very few things you should look out for before buying a tokunbo engine.
1. Ensure the there is no condemned oil left in the engine. In other words the engine must be neat inside-out.
2. Ensure the compressor is not broken. As it will devalue the engine greatly.
3. It is important you buy from an importer. To ensure you are buying straight the main dealers. Of course there are a lot of them in Lagos Nigeria. However, you should have it in mind that not every importer has a good heart. Some are out to make money at all cost.
4. Ensure you get at a good deal. Bargain very well before paying.
I will keep updating this post to assist those who might be interested.

If you have anything to add no one is stopping you from doing so. Besides I said I'd modify the post as time goes on. Why do we have to be difficult all the time.

why PM? Place your phone number and shop address.

He has has said nothing to help a buyer select a good engine, but prefers a private arrangement to sell an engine, also he is yet to give a specific address.


he might have good intentions, but I will prefer Nairalanders deal with individuals who have specific verifiable addresses, and know their trade.
