My Worst Car Was A Ford Explorer I Bought Toks From A Friend. It Was My First Suv And The Car Showed Me Pepper. The First Problem Started After About 3weeks When I Went To Church And The Car Started Having Problem Changing To Second Gear, I Got My First Ford Mechanic And Parted With 25k And The Gear Looked Like It Was Ok Again Only For Me To Take It To My Viewing Center To Watch Ball And The Car Refused To Enter Drive Again, I Had To Use Reverse And Get Home After Waiting Till 11pm. I Spent Money Repairing The Gear And The Gear Started Working Again But Not Entering Reverse. Finally I Closed My Eyes And Bought Tok Gear For Around 130k Minus Money I Spent Moving The Gear From Ladipo To Akute With Mechanics O. After They Fixed It I Traveled With It And Got The Biggest Disgrace Of My Life, I Used 3 Days To Drive From Owerri To Lagos Back. I Later Sold It To Ladipo Boys For 100k And Am Still Been Owed 10k. As For That My So Called Friend Who Sold That Curse To Me, Hmm

Bought a Hummer H2 Jeep because of the hype, big, luxurious and V8 engine, thought the world of it and was convinced it is the best thing after ewa agoyin. Lo and behold, it is the slowest car I have ever driven, very big that I can maneuver through some space and don't let me get started with parking space that one nah wahala

I abandoned it in my garage and bought a Bentley continental flying Spur V12 GT from the money I made doing a nasty job. White on cream, voice assistance, driving sensor assist, 21inch chrome wheels, custom built finger ID door unlock. Ignition keycard. The summary of the story is that the Bentley is to heavy and not very smooth in driving, the understeer at high speed is violation of the right of a driver, customization is zero as it comes with special suspension parts.
Both vehicles are in my garage in Need4speedMW gathering dust

I haven't bought a problematic car yet Sha....

But make I gist una Tori


So we were all young boys fresh out of school employed in the same office...So we kinda made a bet one day on who will be the first to buy a car...

That's how this my colleague on top say he wan win bet of 5k went and bought one Nigerian used Peugeot 307 for 350k...He told us he didn't buy it to win the bet...but we knew he bought it to win the bet and carry his girlfriend upandan

Anyway, the car started displaying Ogbanje symptoms almost immediately...first off, the car radio was dead and nothing the guy did could bring it back to life...Baba was using earpiece and his phone to listen to music while driving

One day when he decided to buy us lunch in celebration of his new car, all the car windows refused to wind up and it was raining heavily...We had to go help him source those thick nylon yam sellers use to cover their wares in the rain.. That's how four young lawyers were busy covering car with nylon inside heavy rain outside Jevniks Abuja...People were just passing and shaking their heads at us....Till now, one of the waiters there still looks at me with amusement whenever I go there to eat

Next thing...Car will just be on its own and refuse to Start...It stranded bros and his girlfriend along Gwagwalada Express one evening...and he could not even lock it and leave as the windows refused to wind up ...I had to help him carry waterproof to where the car packed up to cover the car before he could leave the area ..since then Bros drives around with big nylon in his boot..

Bros has changed brain box, fuel pump and all what not...He calls Mechanics and rewires more times than he calls his girlfriend..in fact, he has them on speed dial in case car strands him anywhere..in fact he doesn't go out with the car at night or when it is raining or for any journey more than 50 kilometres....he has been complaining recently that the car slips out of gear and won't enter gear until the car is parked for a full day...Wahala eveeywhere

That car has made me really terrified of Peugeot 307s...

nurey:


Sh1t happens, best is not to panic, worst case leave the car and get to a safe place.

Toyotas too do get owners stranded so no big deal

I Thought It Would Be That Your Nissan Almera

Praxtech:

Lies. You have only used the Nissan and the Toyota Sienna 2003. What do you gain from lying?

nurey:


when them say go school, you will scale fence and run to game centre and play PS1. Now you can't read simple narration.

nurey:


The only issue you will have is it's underpowered because of the puny engine. don't expect any great acceleration or try stunt driving it through traffic. for the love of God, please don't over take trailer uphill and when doing so use Gear 3 incase it is manual

But as usual, buy crank and camshaft sensor extra in case of incasity

excanny:
Naija used vehicles are notorious for problems.
This is why I will never buy one again.

Bought one neat looking naija used Corrolla for 500k. Had to sell off after 3 weeks for 300k, thats after dashing over 150k to mechanics and rewires.(The idiots were annoyed that I sold it They turned me to customer)

Not Only Nigerian Used Car, Because The Ford That Nearly Sent Me Back To Village Was A Clean Tok

luxy44:
1999 Toyota Camry in 2007 (in Nigeria).

2010 Audi a4 in 2014, (in Europe).

I bought beer for friends the day I sold both cars.

Praxtech:


You shouldn't have bought a Ford without having a mech who specialises in the car. And have a knowledge of what it takes to maintain and repair such cars.

Praxtech:


Which cars have you been able to handle... given that both cars on your list are easy to maintain for a DIY

How Would I Have Known It Was Created By The Devil? Remember I Bought It From A Friend

That wasn't that bad, simply replacing the engine 150k job or rebuilding 50k job and life for continue.

Well this is one I almost made but na God save me, I saw an hybrid Honda Civic 2006 here on nairaland for 100k, my plan was to buy and change to conventional engine based on mechanic recommendations for 500k, luckily I met a guy who did same... He said he had spend up to 700k and still issue with electrical etc
