AbelAbdul:
Where are those who said I will be scammed?

Though I have spent close to N4.1m in this journey.

seniorgozman:

The op non just wise, buy corolla that corolla 4.1m everything? U too. Fuckup, normally u supposed collect Sha.

AbelAbdul:
FEEDING
Food are cheaper in Lagos compare to Port Harcourt though they are notyou neatly prepared.

I remember how I was tired of junks then I told myself let me move to the locals and buy good food to eat.

Getting there I discovered that food were cheap. You can eat rice for N100.

I went to mama-put told her to put N300 rice for me which she did. When it was time to put meat, she put her bare hand inside a container and brought out pieces of meats and put in the rice. I was shocked.

I told her I was not interested in the food again.

Paid her and left. (People were lining up to get food from her).

I went to another stand. Her food was under an umbrella because it was raining.
When she opened the pot to bring out food, rain water from the umbrella was dripping inside the pot.

I left the place went to bed without food.

In Lagos food is cheap but poorly prepared.

I didn't buy the car for N4.1m

I said the cost of everything including feeding, hotels, settlement

This op is not hungry: D.

AbelAbdul:
I NEED TIPS ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THE CAR.

Please Corolla users give me TIPS. The dos and donts of the car.

I have finally arrived PH with the car I went to Lagos to buy.

TheI car and I are in good shape.
Though I'm just recovering from body pains.

This is my first time driving a car that long.

Congratulations

Wow! My friend Ibrahim lived all his life in PH, he’s from Katsina State; won’t you call Ibrahim a PH boy? I’m really amazed at your question but it’s all good

Don't mind him. So because I live in PH i should answer Wike. He should ask Emeka Ike why his name is Emeka Ike yet he lives in South Africa

Bravetunde:
With 4 million naira I believe you can get a neatly used es 350 in ph and instantly girls will be tripping for you.
These car you bought is now even used as taxi and the clean once as bolt.
In my opinion u should have bought a Lexus even is 250 will give you so much respect.
But what do I know shall.

True. Corrolla don lose respect. He should have gone for a 2009 es350. That one still get respect small.

mactoni91:
4.1m for Toyota Corolla...

Omo!.. People get mind.

That money would have given you a Very Neat, high performance V8 Volvo x90 SUV

I stopped reading when i saw the price mehn

That amt could hv gotten u a 2010 toyota camry xle 4plugs that saves almost the same amt of fuel he so wished for,and still ppl will recognize the car anywhwere he pulls in!

fxdee:
you mean a whole dealer in Lagos waiting for ordinary alert to sell a car?.. Why could nt he log in to his mobile app to check his statement of account?..

His bank held the money. He checked his statement of acct. He wasn't the only one with the issue.

Congrats!I enjoyed reading your stories.

AbelAbdul:
FINALLY SAW A CAR I WANTED TO BUY
Where I went to buy the car was a warehouse that contains a lot of cars. What port harcourt doesn't have.

I checked the car, it was ok to my taste. Told the dealer I was going with the vehicle that same day.

I made transfer while waiting for the dealer to get alert I have already started the registration of the car.

I was advised to register it so police would not disturb me on the road.

After registration of the vehicle it took more than 24hrs for the dealer to receive alert. In fact the dealer and I went to his bank and my bank to complain.

Finally the alert entered the following day at about 2pm. That was when the dealer issued me receipt for the car.

The car dealer and his brother were very cool and understandable

The Car dealer and his brother are not nice, this is Lagos... They will give you in return what you offer, if you bring madness you will get double... Nobody does business of millions is a nice man in Lagos

AbelAbdul:
WHAT I DISCOVERED ABOUT ONLINE GOODS.
Most GOODS you see online, their price tags are not the real prices of those goods.

Sellers put lower prices to lure buyers to their shops.

The prices of that TOYOTA Corolla cars I saw on jiji were different when I went to meet the sellers.

They put N3m on jiji while the actual price is N3.8m
Most guys on jiji do not own cars. they are pure agents. They will go to car stands snap pictures and upload online with very low prices.

Pure truth. At least tell people the actual price, just like Abdul psychologically you would be ready to pick any car and just go home cos you would be tired. And leaving without the car makes your trip worthless.

360command:
with Google map, you can drive from Lagos to Porthacourt. Why ask drivers or police for directions?

And you don't use network to use Google map?

U try no be small,,,, congrats

All the expenses are part of the final cost of purchasing the car

AbelAbdul:
I didnt buy it for that amount.

Op you have never been to Lagos, what you did was just sight seeing and not visiting Lagos state… I was born in Lagos and I live there and also spent like three years in Phc.. Lagos is far better than Phc in terms of your comparison of beauty, you didn’t go inside Lekki penuinsala or Vgc or Banana island or Osborne estate and so on and so on.. Try and visit all these places and many more before comparing the two states..

Kudos distinguished. U 1 brave comrade. U got urself a superb ride. Weldone bro. I dey come PH because of u. I must chop una fish.

AbelAbdul:
DAY 1: SEARCHING FOR TOYOTA COROLLA IN AJAH

I woke up from the hotel bed at some minutes past 5am. I was raining.
Then I created a thread asking for a good car dealer in Ajah. Thanks to some of you with your responses.

I was still in the hotel till past 3pm the rain refuses to stop. I told myself if I wait one more minute this day will go.

My plan was to buy a car that day and go back the following day.

So I began searching for the car in that rain.
I only saw it in few car stands and the prices were same with Port Harcourt price. I was shocked.

I boarded a bus to Lekki. I arrived Lekki at night so I slept in Lekki.

Greenscientist:



The same PH that was in the news for intense Air Pollution?

I've not been to PH but I'm very sure Lagos is mile ahead of PH.

Ever heard flood carried a car in PH?

formerUKSF:


Stop saying this thing.
Lekki na your mate

Lekki is stinky. I can never live there. I am PH born and bred and have also lived in Lagos too.

AbelAbdul:
Where are those who said I will be scammed?

Though I have spent close to N4.1m in this journey.

What year is the corolla 2004, 2005 or 2006 and is it CE or LE?

Congrats man I love your zeal and never give up spirit.

Seun can you just stop this guy now because just to come to Lagos to buy a car almost 20 pages of text book already written.

jaxxy:


Are u talking about Corolla 2005 or Corolla 2009?

Cos 2005/06 can't be more that 3m or 3.3m max

The prices ure mentioning are absurd.

Tho duty payment increased the prices since 2months back cos they are now considered below required year to enter the country.

Go and price corolla 2005 to 2008 again and tell me the price. Go to car stand not online.

seniorgozman:
You did 170kph with this car and you are still alive? A car that the maximum speed is 180kph, op easy with your lies

Nigga that car is with ah 1.8 engine so that 170km/hr he sped with might just be 140kph on a 3.5engine like the Lexus es350
