Hello bossos I'm about to buy a car. Noticed a few things. 1. The steering isnt smooth enough. Has a stiff turn. I won't enjoy driving it this way atall. I'm used to light steering and easy turning of the wheel. 2. The AC really pulls at the engine especially when moving from a stop. This is a Honda Accord 2009. I understand I'm buying a Nigerian used car and it won't be nearly 100% perfect. But are this things fixable and not cause regret if I proceed further to purchase the car Also noticed the vehicle paper has expired way back in 2016 (same time the custom duty was done). According to the dealer, the person has been using the car in the core north (where all this uniform people don't trouble them) so didn't see need to renew the vehicle papers. What do you think ? Appreciate your thought on this too |

Obidikejr: Actually, like you mentioned, there are hardly any perfect Nigerian vehicles. So the trick is to get one that isnt too abused. I'd start with a simple scan of the vehicle..it may reveal more potentially serious issues with vehicle. But strictly going by the symtoms you mentioned, they aren't very critical problems. The steering issue could be linked to steering pump or steering rack or other related components which are totally fixable. For the AC, it might be using a manual compressor which is the preferred option for most AC kazeems nowadays.. so it shouldnt surprise you being a Nigerian used car... you can budget to switch to automatic after purchase - if you feel the need to do so. Start with a scan. Bid the car as low as possible so you can budget for the smaller fixes. 2 Likes |
