maynation: There you have it. It is plausible that you bought a lemon out of desperation. The same way I told my evil spirited friend to chill but ended up with a lemon. Please tell us the truth, you bought a lemon, period. Trusted Kazeem? Do you even know what brand of parts he installs on you car? Do you even know whether your car had a CAT converter or not as at when you bought and sold it? My neighbor's trusted mechanic collected 20k and poured 4k Forte Visco 2000 20w50 in his 4 months old toks 2008 Corolla gear box. He bought another gear box thereafter but his mechanic is still trustworthy till today. You got ripped off by your car dealer and continued to get ripped off by your Kazeem. I guess he is still trust worthy, just go now and tell him your steering freezes intermittently if he will not ask you to buy a new steering rack. Try it. I bet you, he will not reject the offer to rip you off as usual. The difference between me and you is that I overcome challenges with solutions while you are overcomed by challenges with blames. At the current state of my Accord, if I get a pull out, believe me, I am 100% responsible. If I put a non OEM ball joint and decided to manage, and it pulls out, why shift blame? But a person like you who has no idea what was put in the car has no one to blame but the stereotypical way, Honda. Will you mechanic accept responsibility and lose a customer? Hell, I used a badly kazeemed Mazda, we didnt enjoy the car right from day 1 which was toks. Do I blame Mazda when I know who kazeemed the car and what was actually done to it. A Mazda car with Mazda engine but Toyota ECU and Honda fuel injectors. I sold the car and will buy the same car again because the car is strong. I wish you luck, you will need it on your next Kazeem appointment. 1 Like |

Yes i understand the re-sale factor. But again i maintain my vehicles very well and i got my Benz almost new . When iam ready to upgrade, the re-sale factor would not be an issue. Thanks When you want to sell it, the value you would have lost, you will come back to tell us another story. I love Benz, but I had nothing but pity on the my friends and family who have it. I will get it, but not as a daily driver.[/quote] |

adanny01:Okay I bought a Lemon out of desperation, the tons of others having this same experience bought Lemons too? Common, call a spade a spade. I could remember my Kazeem saying it is an error from the company, the weight of the tyres are resting on the ball joint or however he put it. I am sure you understand what he meant with that. I really may not understand the mechanical gimmicks he might have played on me as you suggested but Honda is a huge disaster. It would have made more sense if it happened to just me or a few people but it is a universal problem. The maker's error not ours. I don't overcome challenges like this by proffering solutions, avoiding the defective and substandard make is my own solution. Thanks for the good luck, but I ain't visiting Kazeem anytime soon. My baby is too perfect for that. I dash you the luck. And ohh! I learnt a new word from you today 'Lemon', thanks for that. 2 Likes |

waaclef: Trust me, its an issue. With a BMW, its even worst. Nigerians are not very reasonable people. The fact that they price a certain car a certain way will stand no matter how good you keep yours because buyers would have been separated into 2 before they meet you. One part have been discouraged from buying anything Naija used so yours fall into it no matter the condition or care you put into it. The other part believe every Naija used car of the same brand has a certain devalued price, that is what they set their minds and that is what is affordable to them so you wont get a better bargain no matter how you push. 1 Like |

LordAzubuike:in the West how many people know what mercedes is? Bozo, I said worlds presidents use mercedes than any other car brand. Your ignorance is groundbreaking and staggering being so bold and same time so ignorant. You're guilty of a grave sacrilegious sin. There's no luxury car that drives like an S class. Audi is strictly a driver's car. It lacks the smooth carpet ride quality mercedes has. Same with Audi. The prestige of owning a Mercedes in the West can only be compared to the hyper luxury cars like Bugatti, Ferrari and Lamborghini. No female posses the brain power to analyse cars when 99.9% of you can't even drive properly. But I'm glad you're deflecting with with Audi and BMW shamelessly shifting focus from your bland world's dumpyard Toyota. Lastly, I hope you realize no Asian car maker has branched into the hyper luxury car segment? 1 Like |

You are quite right on this. Hopefully , when i need to buy i wont need to sell to acquire another one. The reason i got the Benz because of the handling and the comfort of driving it. to some extend, i think it is a symbol status to some. People kind of stare when you drive and to be honest i am getting very uncomfortable in a way. I had to obtain my tint permit. |

maynation: If you donot understand the mechanics, how can you be of an opinion which car is better? If we talk about weave-ons, hand bags, pumps etc, you will properly give reasons for each choice you make other that its physical appearance. Not discriminating you gender wise, but I think you should not be in the front of this kind of argument since the only appreciable contribution you will have is the face value. Benz are cute, what more can you say about it if no one told you his/her opinion? You are giving a passionate opinion on Honda but that opinion in the real sense is not yours. Your Kazeem said this or that. You need an opinion of your own other than what someone who is not well grounded has giving you. Have you visited car complaints website before? Have you seen the Honda "universal problem" in the site or any other website. US Toyota drivers filed a class action lawsuit over vehicles with 2AZ-FE that burn excessive amounts of oil but have forgotten to remember that Honda legs pull out. What about the Takata airbag issue that affects Honda, Toyota, Benz and a long list of manufacturers. If there was a universal suspension problem with Honda, am sure airbag will be of least concern and a class action lawsuit would have made Honda bankrupt. Besides, you say you spent alot on your DC, how much is considered too much when the only problem you mentioned is ball joint. Even if you replaced ball joint with the chinko ones sold less than 5k, how many did you change to qualify your spending as a disaster. If your complain was a 2008 Accord V6, I will not argue with you.

Toyota is a bigger company than mercedes, Obviously. Which means it is more global, richer and greater than mercedes. Even those working in mercedes would wish to work in toyota because they would likely earn more as toyota is a bigger company. In terms of their products. Mercedes is primarily luxury While Toyota is primarily mainstream. Toyota matches mercedes cos it also makes luxury in its lexus and crown brands. Toyota also has an ultra luxury line known as “century” However mercedes products have more prestige normally. But in terms of the companies , toyota is bigger, better and richer than mercedes by farrr 1 Like |

Re: Is Toyota A Better Company Than Mercedes? by DownChelsea(f): 2:28pm On Feb 24, 2020 |
BadBradley:check the latest reviews, audi cars are superior to mercedes cars (even in tech and luxury) In your last paragraph you lied. Toyota has an ultra luxury line that is beyond Lexus/Crown, known as Century. Also, when you say most presidents use mercedes. How? I believe they use Audis more. The audi A8 and bmw 7series drive better than an s class. Lastly, mercedes maybach is a joke compared to Bmw’s rolls royce and volkswagen’s bentley 1 Like |

erico2k2:bmw’s rolls royce is what it is. The answer to your question is “influence”. Influence bro! Rolls royce and 7series share alot of components. If A owns B, saying that B is A’s property is logically correct. |

adanny01:Firstly, If I didn't learn from my Kazeem where then would I learn? From medical school? If I kept visiting my Kareem with the substandard Honda I bought, am I not expected to ask questions why the Honda was the 2nd worst thing on earth after the devil? That is about that. Secondly, the first time I had this experience with my ball joint was right in front of my church why I was trying to turn in and the embarrassment alone was haunting. I spent above 30k just that day alone if not more. I only laid emphasis on ball joint because that is off course the only name I will never forget. No way I could remember all that he listed to buy but I spent above 30K just that Sunday and then he advised I should be replacing it periodically. And off course several other faults were developing along the line. That is that. Thirdly, can a Nigerian file a law suit against a maker of a car? Nigerians would never, we haven't gotten to that level. And these white guys don't have bad roads like we Africans so they don't majorly experience it like we do. This doesn't change the fact that it is a universal problem. If we had a reasonable platform like the whites to tender our aggressions then Honda would have been a thing of the past. You yourself know that Honda products are known to always have this ball joints/suspension issues. I can swear with my life that you know. Then again, do you know how many times Toyota has withdrawn a number of their vehicles from the market because people's complained about some mechanical faults?? That is what is expected from a company that is ready to give nothing but the best. Lastly, No. It wasn't a 2008 accord, it was 2006. You can continue with your gender discrimination tho. |

maynation: You are still not getting the point. Follow this link, that's how much an original Honda ball joint cost. This is for one single lower ball joint. If you have to buy a pair, multiply by two and add shipping costs, you're looking at 100k already. https://www.oemacuraparts.com/oem-parts/acura-joint-front-ball-51220sda305?c=cT01MTIyMC1TREEtQTAy So if you used fake parts and it failed or you had to replace it frequently, it's not the manufacturers fault. You only have yourself to blame. 1 Like |
