Where do I start from?
Sold a perfectly good 97 Toyota Carina E with fantastic engine for a Naija used BMW325i. Nothing I didn't change in the car. Suspension, battery, tyres, sensors, even bought half engine .. the car was totally useless.. sold it off for crap.
As If I never learn lesson.. fast forward.. sold my Toyota Camry 09 I bought toks and bought Naija used Acura MDX 05.
Plethora of issues.. suspension issues, engine issues.. car drank fuel like a fish. So tired of the car .. barely 7 months after ownership.. I want to get rid of it..
Gosh.

nymphomaniac:
sorry bro. These Nigerian used cars you bought, who helped you buy them? Did a mechanic go along? Competent one o

alienvirus:
One Nigerian used 1999 RAV 4 o. You know what, mechanics ran away from me even with my cash in my pocket.

In fact, chief Gazzuzz asked me to bring the car but I had already made up my mind to sell it off.

I had to rest for almost 2 years before I considered buying another car. A complete relief after I sold it off.
How

Actually, the experience made me understand how to buy car either toks or Nig used.

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

BusterG:



BSI means Built-in System Interface.

It’s kind of like an ECU for all other electrical systems other than the engine, but it is connected to the engine ECU via a CANBUS interface.

It also controls everything electrical in the car, from immobiliser, to communicating with the indicator stalk unit/wiper unit, wiper speed, electric windows etc..

Once it goes bad, and you can't get a specialist to fix it, then you're in for a long ride.

sexyto:

Please can't this BSI be replaced?

fineboynl:
Lol. Nigeria used car is not worth it. Its just the bad economy and dollar inflation.

BusterG:


Sure it can.

You will however need to get the right one that works perfectly with your car.

Also for the new BSI to work some remapping might be required to connect to the engine ECU.

I don't own a Peugeot but admire it alot, I heard it has a lot of electrical issues may be that's why Nigerians are afraid of driving it. Thanks.

BusterG:


Fact bro.

People should just avoid any model of car that plenty pple are complaining about.

No go say " they just dont understand the car" OR Corolla is over-hyped, Nissan is the best Car etc etc.... Laughs.

Na your body go tell you oooo.

On the contrary, in Kaduna for instance, sit by the roadside n u'd see nothing less than 15-20 Peugeot 307 had passed in 5mins.

BusterG:


Excellent question.

There are good and bad cars everywhere both tokunbo or Naija used.

The issue is the ability to identify, verify, inspect and buy the right car of your choice.

The most important things are past maintainance history, rust issues, transmission, engine condition etc

So basically you should get a specialist diagnostic person i.e a car doctor to guide before buying so you don't end up buying a lemon.

I suggest you read from Page 1

You go laff tire

sexyto:

I love that, but why is it not common in the south and west? May be they have the technical know how to maintain it there.
I would love to have the Peugeot 308.

Rinoxy:

I don't know why, but within my office compound alone, we have two Peugeot mechanics who are PAN staff.

3kay945:
My first car I bought Nigeria used taught me many things about vehicles parts and repairs.
I sold the rav4 almost two years of use.
The toks I bought afterwards, treats me like her zaddy.

BusterG:


Lol
Hope you treat it like your daughter too?

3kay945:


I said zaddy not daddy.....so I treat her like a babe!

You are based in the North.

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

chukel:
all you needed to do was change the neutral switch sensor. Nothing was wrong with that transmission.
