You don't know for sure if the gun he brandished was registered or not.

Pray, tell me, which security agency registers an RPG and an AK 47.

I am all ears.

perfectbuy:
Can you explain a bit more?

You wrote arrant nonsense.

Pure unadulterated tripe.

Undiluted rubbish.

Actually he is not lying. You can get reasonable deals... But would most likely be accidented. However even with fixing it may still be cheaper by at least 2.5 million.

Last month, a friend got and cleared an accidented 2016 accord via copart . Damage was not bad ( the 2 front and rear right passenger doors replaced), everything cost him 8million including fixing. That same car was priced not less than 10 million at car stands in Lagos

I doubt the 2016 accord costs N10m. Also remember, there are trims.
Your friend maybe was also lucky.
Modified*. I just checked and saw prices ranging from 8.5m to 12m on Jiji. Remember these are asking prices. So in reality, sale price might be around 7.5m to 9m.

So your friend bought at the typical cost of a dealer. No serious savings there. And that is what I always tell people. You might not get to save so much but you will be sure of the history of what you are buying.

Same people who buy accidented cars on their own for their own use turn their noses up at accidented cars on car stands.

They want clean title but don't want to pay for clean title.


Buying yourself is sometimes worth it but you have to be patient and be ready to pay above car stand prices sometimes so that you can get what you like.

Am not fond of them VIO people, but what the person did was wrong, and the VIO officer was doing his job.

Also, if the Sienna driver did not have his papers in full, none of this would have happened.

The VIO officer was unjustly attacked, no two ways about it.

As for me, so long as my papers and licence are in order, I gat no issue with VIO.

The VIO officer was not doing his job at the right place.

They have no right to be on the road.
That responsibility lies with the FRSC and the NPF.

Know this and know peace.

Elbizzcklinz:
It's not true.

If you intend to buy a tokunbo car in Nigeria. I'll advise you to buy from USA.


If a 2015 acura mdx is sold 14m in a car stand.

You would spend a total of 10m to get the car from USA to Nigeria including clearing.

Dey play. Just dey play.

jjcena:
In most newer vehicles, If transmission oil is changed when engine is still warm, it messes up the transmission. In your case I don't know the process of oil change. Did you try to find out if there was leakage somewhere that caused the oil level to be low

Really?

Nah the explosive tendency of the CNG/LNG dey fear me.

But this is good, let more people switch yo CNG/LNG so the price of petrol can come down for poor people like me

It won't affect the price.

Rest.

Load or idle, gen will run on similar conditions for both fuels .

Hmmmmm

Not entirely true but let's see how it fares first.

Load affects some stuffs oo.

After 11 years?

Wow.

jceesquare:
Coasting downhill on neutral with a manual transmission will not save you fuel but work the other way round and it's equally not safe.
You need that boosted pressure from the engine for your brakes to work well, besides modern cars are designed with a fuel cut off system when coasting in gear.
It's advisable to just leave the car in the appropriate gear when coasting downhill.

I couldn't have said it better.

TheOldGods:
You must really be a bad mechanic. So because of 600 naira fuel, I should start my car immediately and start driving at full speed without allowing my engine to warm up about, or even telling your clients to drive slow if they happen not to warm up. I pity those who listens to your advice. You're among those bad mechanic that fixed one and destroys 4

you are wasting fuel idling your car.

Start the car, engage drive and move. this is not Alaska.

Your engine will not grenade.

You are wasting fuel idling. Drive gently and within 5 minutes, your car would have warmed up sufficiently for you to rev shege out of it.

Will your fabled Toyota engine survive being driven without oil?

Do Toyota engines not burn oil?

Have you condemned Toyota because their engines burn oil?

There is no known engine defect in the 2014 to 20 Hyundai engine setup. Engines burn oil. Owners should check their engine oil after every fill-up.

Period.

GAZZUZZ:
Never!

I don't know a happy Ford Edge owner in Lagos .

Cumrade, open Ford workshop na.

The scan results then said we should clean the injector something... We bought fuel purifier and poured into the tank.. It didn't work

The scan didn't say that.

Post the codes from the scan.

That car , ( from 2011 to 2020) na scam!

You want con put your hand for the turbo!!!

That engine alone has crossed the 1.5 million naira mark FYI. The engine is simply a disaster from a design standpoint. How Hyundai/Kia manage to pull the stunt of good sales is a mystery.

It is not a matter of if it will fail, it is a matter of WHEN the engine will fail.

My advice, port to any Toyota or Honda accord for peace of mind abeg.

So far, the 2015 and up engines have been known to be more reliable than the GDI in 2011 to 2013 which were known to fail.

consumer complaints for the model year he bought have mostly been about the radio and infotainment system.

Coolgent:
Oga Gazzuzz i just brought myself foreign used (almost brand new) Sonata 2016 Sport Limited 2.0T.
Which advise can i get from you?

Thanks

You bought a good car.

Do not use road side oils for servicing or kiss that turbo good bye and say welcome to multitude of other problems.
Use the manufacturer specced oil. No allow kazeem do their normal fan things. It has been overflogged here.

Stick to manufacturers recommended maintenance intervals and you should be good.

Congrats on your new whip.

First time car owner. I’m female too🙏
Got a foreign used 2007 camry 4plugs last year august. I have serviced 3 times

I saw the previous service sticker. Mobil 1 was used to service last.

First oil change i did i used mobil xhp 20w50, second oil change mechanic adviced to use Mobil 5w30 semi synthetic. I serviced last week and i used 20w50.
Car is barely driven though. i have done only around 2400km since i got.
My worry is which oil is best to use as I cannot find the recommended oil around me which is 5w20

Use 5w30 if you can't find 5w20.

It will still serve.

Johnpaul1099:
Good day house, i have the option of getting a Toks 2014 Camry Sport and a super clean Nigerian used 2020 Hyundai Sonata with 40k Miles (Was given brand new and has only been driven within Abuja). Please which will you advise i can also optimally maintain both cars

Get the sonata.

Newer car with lower miles.

cellywit:
my engine cover leaks oil around the seal i have used black gum to seal it several times but issues still persist. camry muscle 09 xle.

Secondly the AC keeps cutting like it works and stop at intervals and pick up again.

Happy motoring!!

Replace the valve cover gasket. Gum will not solve the problem. Buy a new gasket and replace the old one.

Check the refrigerant in your system. Low refrigerant can sometimes cause what you are experiencing.

Have an AC technician who uses a gauge to check it though and check if the compressor is failing.

ikechialex1:
Can I have a good skoda mechanic in Ph?

Any Volkswagen mechanic who works on modern Volkswagens will do.

Skoda is basically a Volkswagen in a different body.

jnrcess:
Fellow NL's, I currently feel devastated. I bought my first car ever in February, an Hyundai Elantra 2015. I passed by a bad spot sometime last week and after driving for over an hour with the AC on, I noticed steam was coming from my engine. To cut the story short, my electrician discovered my radiator fan was disconnected as a result of the bad spot.

Fast forward to yesterday, the fan stopped working again and I didn't notice until the car went off. Since I am inexperienced, I tried putting on the car again, and it went off after a couple of seconds. I put off the AC and drove down to a mechanic workshop, on getting there they told me the top gasket is gone.


Please is this a big deal? The car's engine has never been tempered with. As a matter of fact there is no check engine light on my dashboard.

If repaired, will the car still drive normally or I should expect a drop in performance?

Please help me, I am totally inexperienced, and I just want to know what to expect.


PS: on getting to the mechanic shop, they put so much water in the radiator, and started the car, after a short while the water was bubbling and forcing it's way through the coolant tank.

If done by an experienced mechanic and with quality parts, the engine should still serve you for a long time.

Pressure test the cooling system, replace defective components and replace the failing fan.

You should be fine.

I have come across same year and model of your car that had a similar issue in 2021 and owner is still using the car to date.

Who told you the 2015 ES350 doesn't have those features? The fact your 3IS isn't loaded says nothing about the ES. I know for a fact that the 2015 ES350 came equipped with heated and cooled front seats, rain-sensing wipers, telescope steering controls, and auto-tilt mirrors.

Don't make blanket statements based on your purely anecdotal experience.

In addition, it has been a very long time you post Volvo vehicles or things about them. Has the brand shown you shege to the extent of you breaking ties with them?
