Amono:
Gazzuzz is first a mechanic before being a Cardealer, if any one has read this thread properly, gazzuzz is yet to call out Canadian cars in his own words, all that he posted are links to user reviews, and websites that have information on Canadian cars and he has done so objectively with balance.

What I do not understand is why no one is saying yes I sell Canadian cars but see pictures of the underbody of the cars I sell, THEY ARE NOT RUSTED , that will make gazzuzz look like a fool and paint the car dealer from Canada as a saint. I have seen the adverts gazzuzz makes and he takes out time to show case his products, he even goes as far as taking pictures of the underbody of cars he sells, I am yet to see a car dealer on Nairaland who meticulously makes a car advert like gazzuzz, this is a forum and not a Jiji or checki where you can sell cars without any questions asked, there is a consumer base and gazzuzz is protecting that consumer base objectively , what he is doing is what every mechanic here on Nairaland is avoiding because of backlash and the funny thing is there is now a gang up of all his enemies online "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" . Be objective in your responses, if you advertise cars to sell on Nairaland, show case what you have to sell to the public and not in quiet where the potential buyer cannot receive any counsel because he thinks he will miss this deal if he does not pay up quickly.
Gazzuzz is right to have brought this up because at this time there are several inexperienced buyers about to make life changing decisions.

Good work gazzuzz I am proud of you.
Well said but will these children here understand?
Just like Gazuz,cosplayy,ipfreely etc made ppl more knowledgable about VIN reports,he's also doing d forum a lot of good by reminding prospective buyers about d issue of rust.
I understand d gang up against him sha cos he's sometimes very blunt which is a good thing compared to those who will be diplomatic but still "chop" you.
Even as per d timing of d thread, what time is better than now that a lot of nairalanders are migrating to Canada?
One thing I can swear on is that 100% of those warriors calling him names are not ready to buy even a rim in the next 5yrs,cos there's no prospective car buyer that won't appreciate this info.

RUST BUCKET: TOYOTA RAV4



Toyota has made reliable vehicles for many years. Its cars regularly feature on the Consumer Reports Reliable list and are some of the best selling vehicles in North America.

Drivers who purchase the Rav4 can take pleasure knowing that they not only drive a reliable vehicle, but the safety features in the Rav4 are some of the best on the market.

The interior styling and materials are uninspiring, but drivers will get around 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The feature that owners of the vehicle will dislike the most is the corrosion that the vehicle often experiences.

RUST BUCKET: NISSAN ALTIMA
via motor1
Buyers who want to own a vehicle that provides good fuel consumption should take a peek at the Altima. In the city, drivers will get 27 mpg and 38 mpg on the highway. The car has a 3.5-liter engine, which pumps out 270 horsepower. With a top speed of 121 mph, the Altima needs 8.2 seconds to reach 0 to 60 mph. The vehicle does not provide great performance but is reliable. Altima owners will enjoy good fuel economy but will have to tolerate the rust. Your Altima may change colors, and you will not be thrilled with the transformation. The white paint may become brown.

RUST BUCKET: LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT


Consumers who have deep pockets and enjoy a versatile sports SUV might pop into a Land Rover dealership to find out why everybody is making a fuss about the vehicle. The car has a 3-liter V6 supercharged engine, which pumps out 340 horsepower and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds.

The car delivers performance, a comfortable ride and contains many features in the cabin.

Those qualities may be enough to lure in buyers, but what most buyers do not know is that the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is prone to rust. The car also has poor fuel economy.

RUST BUCKET: FORD KA

When the American manufacturer produced the Ford Ka, it intended to provide a reliable vehicle that owners could use to commute around the city. The product it ended up with is a vehicle that has a 1.3-liter engine and needs 13 seconds to reach 0 to 60 mph. The design of the car is unappealing, and the interior is cramped. Apart from being a slow vehicle that does not offer much cabin room, owners of the vehicle will also have to deal with the rust. Once the vehicle begins to corrode, you will be the proud owner of a small, rusty car.

RUST BUCKET: JEEP WRANGLER

Jeep unveiled the Wrangler in 2006 at the North American International Auto Show and has kept the vehicle in production since. Although the car has changed since its debut, the one thing that remains the same is the rust.

Owning a Wrangler enables you to experience off-roading in a way that other cars struggle to replicate, but the fun ride has a price.

The design and the features of the Wrangler are appealing, but none of that will matter once the vehicle's exterior begins to peel away due to rust.

RUST BUCKET: FORD FOCUS
via curbside classic
Although Ford has done a sublime job with the manufacturing of pickup trucks, its production skills lack with sedans. Consumer Reports has regularly featured the Focus on its Least Reliable Vehicles list for several years, and it seems that mechanical problems are not the only troubles that Focus owners face. The car is also known to have its exterior peel away. If you buy a Focus, do not be surprised to see rust on the vehicle. Consumers who want to avoid mechanical and corrosion problems should stay clear of the Focus. After all, the market is saturated with quality vehicles.

RUST BUCKET: MAZDA 3

The Japanese car is currently in its third generation. Mazda 3 was Mazda's fastest selling vehicle in 2014, but the numbers have decreased since. The Japanese manufacturer introduced the vehicle in 2003 to replace the 323 series.

For the 2012 model, Mazda offered the newly developed SkyActiv technology, a direct injection engine, and a new 6-speed transmission.

Although Mazda made significant changes to the design and features of the vehicle, it has not managed to correct the exterior problem that the car faces. If you buy a Mazda 3, the probabilities of experiencing corrosion are high and most probably inevitable.

RUST BUCKET: MINI COOPER
via moss motoring
The Mini used to be the car that everybody made fun of, and ownership was reserved for characters who resembled Mr. Bean. Since then, the redesigned Mini has been made into a commercial success. The new design is hip and popular amongst female drivers. They followed up the success with the Countryman and Clubman. The appeal and the performance of the Mini Cooper have improved, but the English manufacturer has had a difficult time preventing corrosion. You may look cool while cruising in a Cooper around town, but a rusty vehicle is anything but attractive.

RUST BUCKET: PONTIAC WAVE
via meetauto.ca
The Pontiac Wave, otherwise known as the G3 in the United States, is one of the least appealing cars on the list. The car suits a college student who needs a ride around town without expecting performance.

Under the bonnet, you will find a 1.6-liter engine that is capable of spurting out only 106 horsepower.

The performance is bad, and the safety features are mediocre. The car has various names in the different markets that Chevrolet sells the vehicle but is globally known to rust. The only good aspect of the vehicle is the price. A 2009 model costs $3,000.

RUST BUCKET: SATURN RELAY
via LA Auto RV Sales and Service
General Motors manufactured the Saturn Relay from 2005 to 2007. One of the reasons that the car lasted only two years on the market is that it was prone to corrosion. Owners of the vehicle discovered after purchasing it that the exterior suffered irreparable damage due to corrosion. The car is also prone to breakdowns and was available for around $22,000 new. That might sound like a reasonable price, but the vehicle is unreliable and aesthetically unappealing due to the high possibility of corrosion. Owners of the Saturn Relay turned their backs on the brand after experiencing innumerable problems.

NEVER RUSTS: HYUNDAI ACCENT

It seems that the Asian manufacturers dominate the list. Although the Mazda 3 and Rav4 are prone to rust, the South Korean manufacturer has ensured that the Accent does not corrode. Drivers of the Accent will be exposed to the 1.6-liter engine that has been in production since 1994. Besides the strong body of the Accent, J.D. Power and Associates named the vehicle the most dependable car of 2008. Owners of the vehicle will be glad to know that they are driving a car that will be around for a long time as the parts and exterior are durable



buyers should be on the look out for this

NEVER RUSTS : KIA FORTE
via Audi West Palm Beach
The South Korean market knows the Forte as the K3 and has seen it on its roads since 2008. Kia stated that it designed the Forte specifically to attract younger buyers who want a vehicle that has a sharp auto design.

To ensure that young buyers are impressed by the vehicle, Kia designed the exterior to last a long time and made the car with the highest quality materials to prevent corrosion.

The car may not provide great performance as the engine is capable of pumping out only 173 horsepower, but the exterior will not suffer from rust.

NEVER RUSTS: LEXUS LS

The Asian manufacturers are on a roll. It seems that if you want a car that will not provide any hassles with rust, then stick to Asian vehicles. The Lexus LS is a full-size luxury car, which serves as the flagship model for the brand. The first four generations contained a V8 engine and were predominantly rear-wheel drive vehicles. Lexus installed a V6 engine into the fifth generation and did not offer a V8 option. The LS stands for Luxury Sedan, and owners will experience a comfortable vehicle that is not prone to corrosion .

NEVER RUSTS : VOLVO S60

Sweden may not be known for many things, but the European country knows how to make reliable vehicles. Volvo introduced the S60 to the market in 2000 and marketed the vehicle as a compact luxury sedan to replace the S70. Volvo released the second generation in 2010 as a 2011 model. The third generation is scheduled for a 2018, latest 2019, release and built in America's first Volvo factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina. The United States will be the sole global source of the S60 when production in China phases out in 2019.
