Please Is it possible to ship a car from the USA to Nigeria in 22 days??

austinkenneth:


Car eventually fixed by a reliable mechanic in Lekki..... it is running like new now. I'm impressed by this engine. He had to do an extensive work on it. I'm impressed.

No more Check engine light, good fuel economy, oil leaks solved, no more coolant leaks......

I'll recommend him anyday: Abe ......08167071246, 09065036210

Greetings my people. I am new to Mercedes and I somehow was convinced to buy a Mercedes e200 2007 that was up for sale at a mechanic's place. The car was already in limp mode. It displays something about reduce break power, abs etc. Somebody said the problem was the sbc. Those regular mechanics don't know how to go about it. I am in Lagos. Please help.

Churock:
Guys Good morning and happy Sunday. So my recently acquired c320 doesn’t have verryyy bright headlamps. Is there something I could do to get it brighter?

9icetoo:

All things being equal,it's possible but we know how things work in real life. If the car has already been bought, trucked to the port, processed for shipping and loaded on the ship before the 22 days timeline, yes it's possible.

Bought this car direct tokunbo, W203 C200 kompressor M271 engine

On trying to gas up the AC system the technician discovered the air isn't blowing into the cabin, which is the air is not coming out from the vent especially through the centre and back vents. And even the one on top of the dashboard facing the windshield directly so he recommended an electrician.

Elerectrician said its the AC fan, possibly not blowing towards the right direction. After some troubleshooting, brought down the dashboard and the fan (blower) he said we have to get the one that blows to both directions.

Got another from ladipo, fixed it yet problem persists.

I was frustrated, after spending money and time... This job has taken 2 whole days yet no tangible result.

I asked him to couple everything and after that the steering wheel refused to turn. B4 that while he was coupling back the dashboard I'd noticed that the steering wheel nokkle below the steering neck doesn't push in and out again so the steering neck can't even easily do it's normal up and down adjustments. I complained to him he said he waz going to fix that later.

So right now, the steering neck can't adjust easily, that nokkle below it is stiff can't even go in let alone come out and the worst of it all the steering wheel doesn't turn.

So I'm confused and frustrated right now but I'm calm, this is first time to own and use a MB so no experience whatsoever.

So please anyone with experience or advice should kindly help.

Could thus be some sort of security or something, if it's some sort of security car wouldn't have start na.

NB: It was discovered car was converted in Europe by some professionals b4 car was brought into nigeria, I must confess they did a professional job leaving no trace unless by someone who has had an experience b4.

Pls tag anyone that can as well help especially with the vent issue

i was a fan of halogens, but the rate at whivh they died discouraged me totally. Get those original yellow bulbs, and it should last

nakoks:

Please everyone your advise is needed here.

The dealer that sold the MB I bought didn't inform me it was conversation even for the 3 times I went b4 closing the deal. The only mistake I did was not going with a mechanic but must one always go with a mechanic to inspect a car especially a tokunbo b4 buying? Now, I've not even started using the car it's already giving issues.

I've done registration already. I've done change of break pad and stabilizer linkage and have also bought some parts to replace the bad once, e.g... Side mirror and water can for the radiator. I've spent almost 100k already.

What do I do now please, the dealer asked me to bring the car tomorow to give to his AC technician, he claims not to have any knowledge of conversion about the car.

What advise do you have for .this situation.

Praxtech:

You didn't do due diligence. You may not be able to insure that car. Return it. Let him give you a normal car

THE DEALER MUST NOT INFORM
YOU. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DISCOVER IT YOURSELF. AT LEAST, YOU DO NOT NEED A MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE DOCUMENTS FOR YOU. IF YOU INSPECTED THE PURCHASE AND SHIPPING DOCUMENTS, YOU COULD HAVE SAVED YOURSELF THE TIME, STRESS AND MONEY.

The only mistake I did was not going with a mechanic but must one always go with a mechanic to inspect a car especially a tokunbo b4 buying?

YOU AGREE ITS A MISTAKE AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU ARE ASKING IF ONE MUST GO WITH A MECHANIC. WELL, ONE MUST NOT BUT MUST DO DUE DILIGENCE ON INSPECTION.

Now, I've not even started using the car it's already giving issues.

kingreign:

AC blend door mixer and actuator faulty or jammed or disconnected or incorrectly installed. Unfortunately, dashboard must be dropped or under dash opened and blend door actuators or/and mixers checked manually or if you have a bi-directional scan tool you can use it to initialize individual blend door/mixer motor to know that which is causing this issue then resolve it.

What your AC technician replace was NOT the problematic part.

Philadelphia:


Sell that car now, count your loss and learn your lessons.

Felicity001:


Sorry pls how can one point out a right handed car from custom please educate me.

The conversion according to the dealer yesterday was done in Europe b4 the car was shipped into Nigeria.

The dearler is a 3rd party and according to him the real owner who lives abroad did everything over there b4 shipping.

No, I'm not a technician, I'm a kazeem.

Philadelphia:


BL, purchase and shipping docs show point of origin.
It showed Ireland as point of origin and this should’ve told you that it’s a RHD car since Ireland and UK drive on the left.
This is just the most basic and easiest way to confirm without inspecting other components.

kingreign:

Believe this at you own fault.

Na trinity or Ladipo or Ojuolegba e dey when dem convert am.
If you know you know.

Thanks to everyone shall I really appreciate your concerns on this.

I'll keep the house updated.

Nope no need. You didn't inform us when you were about to throw away your millions of naira. Ordinary 50k max for inspection will have prevented this hullabaloo. Diportivo would have opened your eyes, gazzuzz would have gone on an M16 espionage to warn you, nakoks would have written it off and even gotten you a better offer, but no you went solo ... Now you're going to keep moving from ojekunle to trinity to aspamda looking for part sellers... Kazeems will open office on your head... You will sweat like a monkey trapped in a bakery oven.... Ol'boy you're going to suffer on this apparition you bought. Mechanics will no you by first name basis.... reputable mechs will evade you consistently leaving you with those almajiri kazeems....who don't have a specific shop... who will fix serpentine belt and brakes will stop working.... Brake pads and fuel pump will cease to work.... If you're not careful it may catch fire with you inside.... In short say what say what anything can happen.... If you have not been checking your blood pressure please get a monitor and keep in the car....what you bought will require it.
