That was when he put the same 5w30 he is condemning now, has it gotten to his 3000miles not to talk of 3450 he was projecting earlier. Remember, I have used extra 3 gallons of 4litre yet we haven't reached

1. Your next service mileage is what I see there and not the guarantee. That sticker tells you when next to change your oil. Your oil is not due for change yet according to what you posted.
2. Look at the mileage on your receipt and compare that to the mileage on your dashboard. Do the subtraction and then multiply by 1.62.
That will give you the kms you have covered.
3. He stated the guarantee was 3000kms and not 3000miles. Those two units of measurement are very different. 1 mile is 1.62kms. 3000miles is roughly 4500kms.
4. Your post on 17th November shows your car was doing well. Was it between 17th November and now that you used 12 litres or between 29th October and now?

However, that has not resolved the claim that 3 months had expired before your complain.

In all my posts on Nairaland, I try to educate. Sometimes na shalaye.
I earlier advised the brother to sheath his sword and seek peaceful resolution.
I made it clear it was going to be "give and take".

At a point I go enter observation mode when it is clear OP doesn't want a resolution.

Baba40:
Who gave the warranty? Can you share pls?

The onus is on you to show he didn't give you such warranty/guarantee.

Not me.

You are digging deeper holes for yourself.


I've learnt a lesson from this though.

Phone calls can actually be a trap. Written agreements, messages and saved chats can save you a lot of trouble.

Baba40:
What exactly is your point?

That you reported your issue outside the warranty period. The warranty came in two parts.
1. Time: 3months(longer than you will get I ladipo. This is more than enough time to notice any fault, seek redress and or refund.)
2. Mileage: 3000km.

When the time warranty expired, the mileage went with it.

If you had covered 5000km in one week, the time warranty would have expired too.

The warranty was based on whichever part of it is used up first.

Now, from the screenshot attached by accused, you contacted him 6 days after your warranty expired.

Why are you trying to shift the goalpost to his knowledge of your mileage?

Be objective.

The screenshot attached doesnt show you in good light.

Baba40:
Lies! How did you measure the 3,340km? Did you see the car? Yes! It's 3months but I don't use the car I'm not an Uber or taxify driver. It was less than 1000km that the engine oil you bought and poured into a "tokunbo" engine dries up

Make una dey see oo. 3 months or 3000km; whichever comes first. Shey una dey see the problem.

I said it that by the time this thread is over, some people would be made to look stupid.

Baba40, drop proof. Them say there was no complaint about oil burn or shortage until after 3 months or 3340km. Well outside guarantee period.

We await the proof of this and other allegations.

Connoisseur:
Even Toyota that manufactured the car gave a guarantee because they acknowledged that even with all their meticulous testing, something can go wrong.
Brand new parts fail that's why they are under warranty talk more of used parts.
I understand the trust issues but the op didn't complain about this defective engine until after three months.

One bottle of orijin for you.
Sentiments, poor logic and lack of knowledge just full the thread.
A very simple matter has been complicated.

madgoat:
You talk to much and take sides without reasoning. Seems u find it difficult to comprehend all what the OP is saying.

Taa gbafuo tupu nkita amichaa gi onu.
OP made allegations without proof.
The accused has provided evidence to debunk claims by OP.
OP mentioned in a comment here on Nairaland that he is using Mobil 5w30 of 5500 on a thread where people were complaining about engine issues. OP did not hint or suggest his engine was having issues at this point. That at least would have been in his favour to buttress his claim.

OP was given 3 months or 3000km guarantee.
OP contact seller after 3 months and 6 days according to accused.
If OP disputes above claim, na simple thing, show evidence.
Accused has accepted to take back engine after guarantee had expired and refund OP (if that is not goodwill gesture, I wonder what is).

OP has not provided any proof to any of the claims he has made.

Some people are here to get back their pound of flesh and drag a name in the mud.

Make we use our head.

kingreign:
Classic case of greed, and mindset of deceit.

When something was available, you were shown, you didn't make commitment. When it was paid for and awaiting delivery to new owner, you now wanted it at all cost otherwise you'd label the seller a fraudulent folk when you're the one who's actually fraudulent.


Keep up with the story we are learning and observing.

Don't mind them.

Baba40:
Yes, I did.

He said "maybe we would use mineral oil" what that means I don't know
And... He was asking me to check for leakage.... Engine I bought from you that have not even used upto 2000km

You should have taken it back for him to "check for the leakage". That's his bread and butter. The engine was still under warranty at this point. Why didn't you take it back?
Do you have proof of this discussion of checking for leakage or switching to mineral oil? If so post it here.

Welcome to the party. The chief judge will be here soon.
"Pull him down syndrome" on the beat.

Baba40:
The engine isn't smoking... Maybe I meant to say 2000km. The 3000miles range in gave me for next servicing hasn't reached AT ALL before 4 GALLONS of 5litres has gone down the drain.

Note: I continued with same Mobil 5w 30 he bought and poured inside himself

When the engine went through the first 4 litres of oil, did you call Gazzuzz or send a chat or message to complain this unusual oil consumption. I assume this must have happened within the first month of the change.

weyreypey:
Stop attention seeking. Try to add value. If you cannot. Shut up!

Stick your advice up your arse! Chief Judge.
And this will be my last response to you. Stay off my mention.

weyreypey:
You sound like a thief. You're not gazzuzz. Shut up. This is how some people gathered to vote in the terrible govt we have today. Now shut up and break your phone screen

You sound like an slowpoke.
Go through my previous posts. Read carefully and tell me where I answered any question on his behalf. Keep insulting your ancestors. I asked OP questions and made reference to my own dealings with the accused.

weyreypey:
No wonder

Did you get off on that revelation?

asamwababy:
Are you not bothered that this issue if arrogance and insults keep coming up all the time?

Of course Gazzuz is not shady.

Every human being has a weakness. Fact.
I have met gazzuzz. I have had several discussions with him. He has never come across as arrogant or proud. When you approach a fellow human being with respect, most times the respect is reciprocated.
If you call me by 11.00pm and start ranting about a transaction I had with you, you may flip a switch and I may snap. Nobody is perfect.
In all my discussions with Gazzuzz (consultations which I didn't pay a dime for his time), he has never insulted me nor sounded condescending. Even his boys displayed similar trait when I have interacted with them.
Manner of approach matters.

Just like that efulefu that told his father to shut up. Usually I don't respond with such insult but it is what it is.
OP should get to the root cause of the matter and sort it out with Gazzuzz.
It is that simple.
When all this blows over, some people may wish they had been more reasonable.

Kindly shut up and let him express himself. Don't let some of us take sides.

Swine.

Baba40:
I was ignorant... I don't know anything. The reason I chose to pay that much to him thinking he's an Angel going by the post here on Nairaland.

It was when the issue of oil drying, note, he bought the engine oil there himself, people started telling me he bought borale. He was even subtling explaining to my neighbor why he had to buy borale. That one wanted to patronize him but experiencing how he shortchanged me my neighbor changed his mind

Are you calling a reworked Nigerian used engine borale or are you calling a toks engine without accessories a borale?

Baba40:
Gazzuzz bought the engine oil himself... Pls check the invoice

Bros I was referring to your statement on Nairaland. You stated categorically that you use Mobil 5w30 sold 5500.
This your smear campaign isn't going to do you any good.
Man up. Shit does happen. Approach Gazzuzz and discuss matters. It's a give an take thing.
I do not stick my neck out for people but guy, I've met a lot of people outside Nairaland who give me 100% attention and trust just for the fact that I know the guy.
If he was a shady fellow or a man that lacks integrity, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Take my advice or leave it. The choice is yours.

kingreign:
The guy is arrogant, proud and uncout. Yet, he sees others as that.

Just reading his submission gave me an insight into his type of person.
Just glad the details have been posted to bust him. Imagine being given a guarantee of 3 months. Ha. Who will give him that in ladipo?
Chai. It is well sha.

GAZZUZZ:
pls stop using this particular engine oil, as it is neither here nor there.

But he said it was Mobil 1 he used that dried up.

Very simple things yet people make it look difficult.
A used part is a used part. There are no guarantees. Engine and transmission sellers give a maximum of one week guarantee. Sometimes, the insist on using their own techs to perform the installation.
If things don't work out, they either refund or replace. They never bear responsibility for logistics or consumables such as oil, water, filters etc.
It's on the buyer except it was explicitly agreed to in writing.
Now, for a seller to guarantee such, you will pay above premium for that item of purchase. Do you think that same engine would have cost 220k if these conditions were attached?
Let's be realistic here. I've bought a failed gear box from a reputable seller in pH. I didn't go to his shop to insult him. I wasn't pleased either but I had to be reasonable.
I paid for the logistic, paid for new fluids but this time around, I insisted he include the clause to refund logistics and fluid expenses should the second bear box fail. He gave me his tech to go and the installation and it went without a hitch.
I had to pay for the installation to be performed by his tech.
These things aren't always black and white.
OP he has offered to refund you for the engine if you bring it back within 24 hrs. Do you want him to nail himself to the cross for you?
Haba. How you approached this matter also mattered.
This is the same Gazzuzz that gives things freely here. Things worth more than your engine in some cases.

personal59:
please is. it advice able to order car?
like is it cheaper and better?


if yes please how do I go about it?

You can preorder.
There are many reputable car dealers here.
I bought my first car preorder. A 2008 mdx. I saved over 1 million naira from the cost at the stand. My case is an extreme one. I was damn lucky.
Now here are the factors to consider when doing preorder.
1. Time. It will take between 3 weeks to 3 months for a preorder to arrive. This depends on the location it was bought. Containerised cars from areas like texas, florida and california take a longer time to get here (60 days or more on average). Also note that containerised cars are not prone to pilfering by wharf rats.
2. Car condition. You will see what you are buying. Level of damage. Mileage.
3. Vin check. Your dealer may be able to give you an autocheck report for the car you want to buy as some of them get it for free or might give it to you as a goodwill gesture. This way, you know what you are getting into
4. Money. This will be in your control. You will be the person to determine your clearing cost as you are free to clear by yourself if you want to or nominate an agent of your choice. You will also determine how much your shipping and transport cost will be as well as bidding cost. Trucking and shipping will depend on the location you are buying from. Your buyer will advice you on the cost of trucking and shipping.
5. Repairs. If applicable, you will be able to determine and direct how well your car will be repaired. Since it's your personal car, you can do justice to the repairs. Instead of masking airbag lights like dealers do, you can repair the airbag and reset it properly.
6. Patience. You will need lots of this.


Kaakakibuy bought for me. Deltel is a tested and trusted person on this platform.

I also do preorder now if you are interested.

Like suggested above, you can walk to the stands and buy any car of your choice and be done with it.

But bear this in mind, good things don't come easy.

Available

Mileage of 136k is no issue. Na brand new car you wan buy?
If they bring a 2005 Corolla with 30k miles and tell you to pay 2.8m, will you pay?
Your vin check shouldn't have been to check if it was Nigerian used. You should have checked for the history of the car is usa, the maintenance, if it was involved in a previous accident, title changes, number of owners and the date it was shipped or auctioned off from the usa/canada.

I hope you have not bought a cotonou car this one it's carrying 2018 clearing in 2020.

The deed is done. I doubt you will get your money back. Unless of course you have powerful friends who can come into this matter. You accepted the car as it was and paid.

Drive your car.

mrcoolautofix:
Cars that are lighter have lighter parts, cars that are heavy on ground can never use a light weight metals for it parts cos it won't last..
Like check Toyota SUVs and cars, their suv parts last longer than their car parts. Check

I'm trying to point out the error in your assumption. I am not checking anything.
There are lightweight alloys of steel that are stronger than steel itself.
Duralmin used in making aircraft shells are lighter than aluminium yet they are stronger than aluminum.
My point is light weight does not mean low quality or low strength. The spider silk is stronger than steel. It is lighter.
Mechanical properties go beyond weight.
History of use of the cars are also a factor.
You cannot generalise without data or statistics to back it up.
Reliability studies have always proven otherwise.

mrcoolautofix:
Lot of you will have a close mind to look critically into this, but based on my point of view and observations on this our politically castrated roads and cars, I have seen a lot, and what most asian car user would say is,

Check most cars you see in mechanic garages, you are seeing japanese and asian cars not because they are many but cos these cars is designed without ruggedness and durability in mind, so that's why they spoil easily on the control and handling parts,

My technical analysis for this reason is, a light weight cars can never measure up in terms of parts durability, Benz check, volvo check, BMW check heavy duty trucks check, from vw mk4 ford check, peugeot check, contrast to japanese cars that are light weight,

Cheap parts good fuel consumption or better gas mileage but in my book if you buy parts more often than fuel, I am certain you rubbing peter to pay Paul,

Listen for each time a volkswagen, audi, mercedes, bmw opel, volvo car owner purchased one hub for his car,

Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia have replaced 4 if not 5,

This is the pure and undiluted truth,

When I speak of volkswagen most of you who have phobia for quality runs into hiding, and found toyota Nissan as your save heaven,

The Volkswagen mk4 that I currently have is going about 3 years now, and has been touring around this forbidden roads we have, that pothole and unfortunate bumps created by poor people will shake you up to heavens.
And the most interesting thing is, the shocks, the hub, brake disk, break pads, cv joints, lower arms haven't been changed, including steering racks and power steering pumps, as much engine mounts and bushing.

Grow up africans, even americans respect German auto makers when quality and durability comes to mind,

Lightweight equals poor quality and durability?
Seriously, why do you do this?
You started well but recently.....
Take am easy oo.
If you care to know, some Asian cars weigh more than their european counterparts. But who cares, they are light weight.

Ofemmanu1:
Thanks for your prompt response, I will be waiting for other gurus in the house.

Thank you.

65 amp - 75 amp battery is very adequate. Korea was about 21k back then. With the recent dollar increase, I wouldn't know but you should budget about 25k for a decent battery.
