 Car Talk › Re: Is This Real Or Just Body Kit??? by billy187(m): 9:28am On Jun 14, 2017 |
Totally a body kit.....see how crooked the emblems and wordings are in the back....besides I doubt the geniune bugatti will have 'V12' printed on its rear. Got any more pictures though @op? I'm kinda interested in seeing how the rest looks. 1 Like |

| Phones › Re: How Do You Cope With GLO Data Network Frustration? by billy187(m): 10:50am On Jun 06, 2017 |
Glo is terrible in Nigeria? ha! Why am I not surprised? The speed is ok here in Ghana but the quality is bar none, the worst I have ever experienced. I used Glo for a month after being attracted by their great bundle offers and out of this month, random unannounced blackouts took 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS! 2 weeks of not being able to browse, make calls, anything! When u attempt to call the helpline...they cut u off as soon as they hear what the problem is!  The final nail to the coffin was when they expired my bundle waaay before it's due date. I promptly flushed my glo sim down the toilet. Wack network. |

Lexusgs430:This is more like it, 3 months or 5000km is just too short for modern oils. I bet synthetics go even longer - heck, the Valvoline High mileage 5w30 full synthetic I have in my rust bucket claims 360,000km of protection! (not that I'd wait that long though ) |

Even the slow Mack and Dangote trucks are massacring people. How much more when their semi-trained drivers lay hands on a truck that moves as quickly as a 'sports car?' Lets pray they delay before entering Naija. 21 Likes 1 Share |

| Car Talk › Re: Olx crazy prices by billy187(m): 8:06am On May 03, 2017 |
elshanAutos:Ok,let's look at it this way .... buying a used econo car that's most likely somersaulted for 7 million would be a terrible idea- especially when said vehicle is a recent model. Why? Repair costs can assume quite ridiculous levels. We're looking at complete body piece replacements + possible airbag module replacement + drivetrain issues and trust me, the side hidden by the seller is not any better. To get this car back to factory spec via certified dealer might cost anywhere around $10,000- give or take. Total cost would be enough to bring down a brand new corolla You could choose to cheapen out and go all cheap parts and Bondo on the car but then that begs the question: why don't you just buy a certified older, safer car at that price?! I think Readonee35L posted a list of cars that fit that bill nicely. I typically won't poke my nose into someone's business but then, come to think of it; there's always that poor fool that's gonna see this ad and go like 'darn, this is a good deal' and pull out his chequebook! |
| Car Talk › Re: Olx crazy prices by billy187(m): 11:43pm On May 02, 2017 |
T hat's more than $20,000 if I'm correct. You can buy a tear-rubber 2017 Corolla that nobody's farted in for $18,500 - in the US though. It's either one of two things; the Corolla was Buhari's official ride; or the weed they sell in Ikorodu is pretty strong. |

Whizpeter:I think no substantial frontal collision occured before the somersault so its airbag sensors weren't triggered......But all that flies out the window if this particular car had side airbags. |

diportivo:Where I'm at, the engines from 90s Pathfinders/Hardbodys are the go- to choice for mechan- ....I mean Kazeems working on mostly American larger vehicles. I have even seen a diesel variant in a 2000s Ford Expedition before. This is my first time seeing it in a German car though, no less a Porsche. Move? Definitely, it will- until it has to face a hill. But then this old porschefinder will definitely confuse any car enthusiast unfortunate enough to hear its exhaust note. 1 Like |

greenhulk:The Pics you posted here look more like the series 2 that ran from the late 60s into the 70s. The series one (which I think includes the centre piece of this thread) is much, much more valuable....despite the subtle differences. I stand to be corrected though I still do wonder is restoration is still feasible- considering the level of disrepair. |

It's not beyond them....nobody in the US has died in a Volvo XC90 since 2009. Volvo's happen to be the safest cars on the planet...in my opinion. I fear the case would very much different in Naija and similar countries where folks buy accident cars, fix 'em up haphazardly and sell 'em off- without giving a crap about their safety. 1 Like |

That was the price when brand new-almost 10 years ago.....today I would be surprised if a clean model is able to command anything much north of $20,000. I think this one has been most likely parked 'cos of a repair that might surpass it's value. 2 Likes |
