I'm thinking to try the pcv valve cause the engine sounds well and it doesn't smoke.

Hello please advise. I want to buy suv I'm stuck between this 2, lexus RX350 2010 or highlander 2010.. The issue is that I prefer the lexus RX350 but I can't get a tok for 5m but I think I can get a tok for highlander 5m... So my question is, should I buy a good fairly used Lexus RX350 for 5m or buy tok Highlander for 5m thereabout?
And if you have any for sale please let me know, 08125670754

If you love the RX350, I will advise you save the little extra and get foreign used.
If you can’t wait till you can afford the RX just go and buy the Highlander in peace. No sense in spending that huge amount on Naija used car.

Not all Nigerian used cars are abused. Not all tokumbo are well taken care of. I know some Nigerian car owners that maintain their cars by strictly following manufacturers service guide and would quickly call out for repairs when even the tiniest of issues crop up. I've seen imported cars that are POS.

Go for the Lexus, however, the ensure you due diligence and carry out very thorough inspections and find out the history and maintenance records before parting with cash.

Do you have a valid Comprehensive Car Insurance?

If you own a car for Personal Use or Business Purpose on platforms like Uber or Taxify and you still leverage on a Third Party Insurance Cover, believe me. be ready to spend from your personal earnings or business proceed.

With Comprehensive Insurance specially designed for Personal Use, E-hailing businesses like Uber or Taxify and other Commercial Purposes, you worry less about the following;

1. When the car gets burnt, be it partial or total
2. When the car gets stolen
3. Accidental damage of the car, partial or total
4. Third party property damage
5. Bodily Injury of the insured or third party
6. Flood Extension
7. Damages caused by malicious act

Imagine a car of 2.5 million gets stolen and you don't have a Comprehensive Insurance on the car
Imagine there was a fire outbreak where you parked your car overnight
Imagine a Danfo driver hit your car on the highway and run away
Imagine a dispatch bike ran into your car

With a Comprehensive Insurance cover, all unforeseen circumstances resulting to accidental damage, fire, theft of/on your car are covered;

You get your money back or a replacement car (your car type) if stolen or got burnt. T& C applies
Your damaged car gets repaired without a kobo coming out from you T & C applies.

To know more about Car Insurance or any other type of Insurance, kindly reach me on 07056213630.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Nobody: 4:51am On Jan 14, 2021
Hi. I drive a corolla 03. Its running smoothly but the issue I have is that it makes this loud, rumbling sound when I'm doing say 50 km/h and above. My mechanic said it was the shocks. I changed all 4 yet the noise persists. I don't know if its and engine problem but the engine runs smoothly when I start the car and no issues while driving at high speeds. The sound is like a high rumbling sound. It disappears when I decelerate and comes back when I'm doing those high speeds again. Any ideas how I can go about this pls?

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by somehow: 8:17pm On Jan 14, 2021
Please help choose a car for a first timer if you have good information and experience on cars.

I am not a good authority on cars, so I FOUND it difficult to pick for the person.

He wants either Toyota Highlander 2008
Ford Edge 2010
Or Toyota Camry 2012.

But here are some of his conditions :

He wants a vehicle with ground clearance, a bit of class and at the same time with a good performance rating, less fuel consuming and an easy to maintain one.

His budget is maximum of 4M for (Tokunbo/Non accidental/clean title.).

He is also a new driver, meaning he has not driven before.

Thanks

Considering the available cash, ground clearance
Ford Edge is the only option but if ground clearance is not that important then Camry is d best option

I experience the same thing with my Camry. Mine is when the speed limit exceeds 90km/h.
