A friend of mine informed me about his colleagues car which he want me to buy because the car is very good . I went there with a mechanic. Though the mechanic complained about fuel pump and little things which he believes it will be resolved with little money. I was not convotable but my friend confused me that the car was good that he always drove the car and he know when he bought the car. I agreed base on my friend word which i transferred to his colleague. I asked my friend to brought the car home from Gbagada to mushin. On his arrival, I noticed the car was doing overheating.... I wanted to reject the car but my friend still insist that the issue is minor. I have spend 40k so far to service and change something and the issue is yet to be resolved. Please advise me on what to do.

Should i contact the owner to return my money if it will be possible or request for money to sort out the issue as the mechanic told us that we need to replace the catalyst of the car and other things which I didn't plan to spend. The car is Toyota big dadday 2003 and he sold it 800k for me.

diportivo:

I saw a thread on nairaland about car45 where the sold a Camry to someone who intend using it for Uba Uber at the cost of 1.6 mill after giving him a fake computer check that was generated by them only for them to buy the car and use it for 2 days and the car pack up only for the buyer to spend money to fix the car without solution, to cut the story short the buyer return the car and ask car45 to buy back the car guess what it was then the generate the true situation of the car and told the seller the will only buy the car for 650 k, chai car of 1.6 million finally after some weeks another person fell for the same fraudulent activities on the same car was sold to him for 1.4 million

GAZZUZZ:
You really don't want to hear my opinion.

maxygirl:
i notice the jerking while the car is idling and also while moving on interlocked roads.

maxygirl:
I bought it as a foreign used car.. I was the one that registered it.. So I guess i would just stick to 5W30 and do a proper servicing.. I am thinking of going to Total auto shop so i could get a history as i have used several road side mechanic until now. what do you think?

obekediamondfuto:
I respectfully reject this offer... Only because my good friend - Automotech - has been praying and fasting to get another property to add to his collection of props


Over to u automotech.... Enjoy

Is there a better way to know the level of sludge in the car apart from looking through the oil filler cap?
Besides my valve seals are beginning to wear off (I suppose) as engine puffs out little white smoke when you step hard on the gas pedal and goes off especially when engine has heated up.
The smoke is not continuous, it puffs out and stops only on hard rev limiter revving.
Engine is a Nissan SR20DE engine.

What's your take on using chemical substance or diesel blend to desludge an engine.
I've seen several videos on YouTube where they used a diesel engine oil mix in the engine and ran the car for 5-10min before draining to clean the internals.
I'd like an expert opinion before I shoot myself in the foot.
