Ok, so what's the best price for a Nigerian used sonata and Electra @ the bolded. A hint would do.
Between 2.7 to 3.0mils
Varies depending on your bargaining bars

Mr Bishop, hope you're good. I noticed you advised Hyundai cars some time ago. With your experience, which is more suitable for e-hailing BTW sonata and Electra? And what's the average cost of buying a Nigerian used 2011 or 13 sonata/ Electra?
Both cars are good with few issues here and there. 2011 Hyundai Elantra 2WD Sedan with Automatic transmission of 1.8L 148 HP 4 Cyl.

Sonata 2011
Performance
Base engine size 2.4 liters
Base engine type I-4

And almost similar to the 2013. So from engine size the Elantra is better on fuel economy.
When it comes to parts they are relatively ok.

My car finds it difficult to selecting gears easily these days. When you move after the light turns green, it'll select 1,2 then instead of 3, it'll do as if it pulled off gear. Then I'll have to reduce acceleration then it'll gradually select 3 and above. Then cars behind you will notice you aren't picking pace and start honking. Any idea what the problem might be?
First run a scan and get back to me bro

C1201 - Engine Control System Malfunction
Causes and solution
Car TalkRe: Mechanic Roundtable by Blackbishop(op): 2:12pm On Jul 05, 2021
C1201 – Engine Control System Malfunction

A fault is found in Toyota SUV engine control system and is detected through the CEL (Check Engine Light) and running a Diagnosis, the fault code that came up are P0430 and C1201. The fail-safe feature of C1201 that came up on the dashboard bans the operations of VSC and TRAC. When the signals from the engine are input normally, the fail-safe is cancelled and the DTC is not stored.

One major issue with this C1201 code, it comes with other fault codes; mostly

P0455: Evaporator Emission Control System Leak Detected (no purge flow or large leak)

P0441: Evaporator Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

The 3 codes are related to each other.

The C1201 code is the one which tells the vehicle to turn on the light of the check engine and to disable the traction and VSC. Basically, when the other two codes pop up, this one is responsible for letting you know that there is a problem there. This one can also be solved by changing the other codes because they are the ones that caused it.

But in this case I have to deal with[b] P0430 – 2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER[/b] – Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2.

Causes

Faulty Three-way Catalyst Converter Bank 2
Exhaust Tube
Intake Air Leaks
Faulty Oxygen (O2) Sensor
Faulty Fuel injector(s)
Leaking Fuel Injector (s)
Faulty Spark plugs
Improper Ignition Timing
Dirty Air Filter and lastly but rarely
Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

After fixing the P0430, the next step was to check if the VSC [/b]light on the dashboard was gone or still showing. Which was showing with the [b]CEL.

C1201 codes is mostly corrected by changing the gas cap tank to an OEM gas cap to solve the issue.

In conclusion we decided to order for a new one online to solve the issue and the car now run smoothly.

I did mention insecurity reasons here, but got insult in return, I honestly don't want to say what I think, but it's cool he finally find someone to go on the dirty play with him today. I don't see anyone running anyone down here, what I see is folks that burns out and let me say it in the way I see it, the older u get in this driving the more it becomes tiring to u, for me it just doesn't stimulate fascination anymore. The newbies can get in with fresh energy and do their thing, it happens in all works of life, even football (maybe thats why Ronaldo is special), I just look at his 2 months activities and I'm tempted to ask what happened, but menh! Energy no deh me.

Truth about this work is u can make as much as u want to make if u have the zeal and energy to drive, but when peeps come out with magic blah blah, I just crack a smile, we all got our trial and goes on our war. For the better part of this week shollyWendy have done above 11k b4 noon if u call him, baba go say em don deh house, dats what he want and I can't force him. As drag as d rain makes today look like I've done 11k b4 1pm and obviously after church is d main party (do I look like I can't do 25 by 11pm?), but I knew what I went thro at agungi rain last week that made me go work on my AC.

Glad u gross 20k daily, I go as far as 15 to 16k daily even with d indriver shitty price and with all ease-Ness. Ogba to yaba always first trip 2500, yaba to island 2500 upwards to 3 plus, then I run island to yaba back to island till I feel like going on. Mind where u live have major effect on ur daily income in this hustle.


Apology to shollywendy for calling u on this, I plead boss as I know u respect ur privacy. I just dislike this vibe of thinking hatred feelings. Far from it, all man should do things according to their power, but I'll say it again security should not b neglected like is no man's business.
Pope see most people here don't need your service of telling them the truth or advise seriously. Men come and go. But let your sanity still remain at the end.

At the end "It is what It is"

Problem is, someone says something most folks here don't agree with, BOOM ... Insults. They bully the person into silence. Check the people that comment on a regular here, it's pretty much the same set of people and they generally agree on things, the older handles don't comment but I see them viewing the thread. Many still drive but they no get time for some of the things wey people de talk here. When newbies come and read the thread imagine the orientation they're greeted with.
Cheerfulgiver however is not afraid to go up against anybody and he comes correct, however this is the result, clearly nobody has a monopoly of these things.
People must understand that it's okay to disagree after all even twins have differences form time to time, but the manner in which we express our differences is important. If you have to resort to insults then I don't think you have anything to say to me cos our levels are clearly different.
Imagine if someone said "it's nice that you're making so much and trying to motivate people, but because of security reasons it's not ideal as it can make drivers targets". But Una no go follow that road, na abuse straight.
I remember farenz did same and y'all ran him out of the thread, but I said it that that guy's posts made me reflect and sit up cos I see say man must stop play and get serious. Imagine if he didn't post that time, maybe I'll still be doing rental now.
I posted something recently, it was meant to inspire people but as usual, people started making stupid insinuations and asking silly questions. Thankfully some people mailed me and I shared the little I could help with. It doesn't in any way reduce my earnings. I now the number of people who ask if this gig is profitable and y'all discourage them, to what end? How many trips can you do in a day sef. If I get 10 good trips a day I'm good. As long as I gross my 20k daily and thankfully I am, even with the "e don cast" anthem here. Now I even close around 4 5 except weekends when I push a little more.

We rise by lifting others, and it's the insecure and inferior that feel threatened at every turn. Face your front sha
Respectfully you have made an intelligent analysis of all they do here.

No hate here famz.... one US based oil mogul will come here knowing that na naija people dey come advertise still criticize all about the drivers and the system how bad it is. Yet he won't import his buyers from US or drivers from US.

If your opinion or view of things are different air it in a constructive way and we move but many are myopic when it comes to reasoning ability.

I am not here jagajagaing anybody but jejely analyse my own opinion

Erratic Performance After Warming Up

A Toyota Sequoia 2005 starts up well, sometimes the idle will sound a little low, but it has never stalled out while idling. If the idle is rough. When the car is taking off from a standstill it moves smoothly, there is no misfire/stuttering problem. But when the vehicle has warm after driving some distance, the vehicle misfires/stutters very badly, misfiring/stuttering also occurs after shifting but seems to only occur below about 2,500 RPM

Good day Ayo,
My ford Explorer 2005 I noticed lately that whenever I first engage the gear in drive or reverse it make this sharp noise "Gah". Please note when I first bought it in 2015 I changed the Gear filter and so the oil which I used Motorcraft ATF. What do you think might be the issue to get rid of this scary sharp noise. Thanks

A 2010 Toyota Camry le with 2ar-fe engine was having a problem. The problem is when starting for the 1st time in the morning, the car will attempt to start while jecking and then switch off. On the 2nd attempt, it will start normal as if nothing happen on the previous attempt.
No check engine light seen while the engine is on but seen when you turn on the ignition.
A scan was performed and p0015 was seen as a pending code.
But the code disappeared after an oil change and driving for about 50+ miles.
My question is can this code cause the starting problem because the car still starts like that especially after being parked for about 6hrs even if you driven it for the day.
This sounds like a fuel system issue
