vali1000: Reliability goes with some degree of maintenance. Of course, Camry is a reliable car but a preventive maintenance will prolong the life of your car. Most Nigerians use substandard spare parts & wrong engine oil & transmission fluid at their cars and expect it to be durable. Yet some others wait until the car is broken down before attempting to fix it. Get a well maintained Camry & ensure you stick with the maintenance schedule which guarantees happy motoring. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

vali1000: Both cars cannot necessarily be compared; Corolla is a compact car while Toyota Camry is a family size sedan. Camry has three engine variants; 2.4, 2.5 and 3.5l V6 whereas the Corolla has 1.6. 1.8 & 2.0l engine. So you know, fuel consumption certainly can't be the same as well as cost of spare parts. If you 've got a family, the Camry will be ideal. But comparatively, both cars are relatively cost effective to run. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Car Talk / Re: Best Route: Owerri To Abuja Road Trip by bravolad(m): 8:57am On Jun 05, 2016 |
I do Owerri to Abuja regularly but I go through Owerri to Onitsha - Onicha Ugbo - Uromi to Ewu junction to Okene to Lokoja and then Abuja. I spend less hours via this route because the roads are relatively ok. However, I have peeps who do the Enugu route but each time we take off together, I usually get to Abuja before them. They also complain that the Enugu route is lonely. The Ajeokuta stretch of the route is very bad so you need to be careful there. Safe trip. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
Car Talk / Re: Useful Advice On Buying & Paying Required Duty For A Car In Cotonou By Oneself by bravolad(m): 9:37pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
aieromon: Custom Officials stop all vehicles they assume have just been cleared irrespective of the age of the vehicle. @autojoshng that's part of the major challenge. Why would an agent choose to under pay for a vehicle for which the owner has paid him in order to ensure full duty payment? NCS holds car owners responsible for any compromise arising from duty payment when indeed, it should be the other way. As a punitive measure, NCS should implement a policy of license withdrawal from such erring agents to serve as a caution to other intending offenders rather than punish an innocent car owner who desires an honest service. In addition, such agents should be made to face the full wrath of the law. This measure will drastically reduce fraud if not outright elimination of such. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Car Talk / Useful Advice On Buying & Paying Required Duty For A Car In Cotonou By Oneself by bravolad(m): 10:09am On May 31, 2016 |
I seek information concerning purchasing a car from Cotonou and paying the required duty by myself. Is it possible for me to purchase a car & pay for the duty of the said car without going through a middleman/agent. This becomes necessary as most dealers are unscrupulous and would not pay the required duty for a car & choose other dubious means to bring the vehicle to Nigeria in order to make outrageous profit from the transaction. Don't get me wrong, there are some sincere & genuine dealers but they are difficult to come by. Recently on Nairaland, we read stories of pre-Order deals going sour and none payment of duties by some conscienceless dealers. I have seen folks who paid some agents to deliver cars on their behalf from Cotonou but ended up regretting such decisions. Given the above scenario, can I obtain valuation from the customs office & proceed to the bank for onward payment & in return obtain all necessary genuine documents regarding the particular vehicle from the Nigerian Customs Service. I also plan to drive the vehicle by myself to Lagos & consequently, to my destination. As part of the plan, I will to set out two weeks of my time for this purpose. This thread aims to elicit contributions from devout & trustworthy dealers and Nairalanders who have gone this route so we can learn from them. In your response, kindly answer the following questions: 1. What are the stages of buying a car in Cotonou? 2. What are the challenges & issues to be encountered? 3. How would they be mitigated? 4. After payment of duty where can it be verified to ensure that all payments are valid? Thank you so very immensely for your anticipated response. 1 Like |
Car Talk / Re: Toyota Hybrid Does Not Start by bravolad(m): 9:38am On May 16, 2016 |
Truth be told; most of the technicians claiming to understand & fix hybrid cars in Nigeria do that by trial & error. Owners of such hybrid cars spend more money than they anticipated searching for solution. Majority of spare parts dealers don't stock hybrid spare parts. To source for their parts in Nigeria, you have to expend an enormous amount of energy to get them. Not everyone has the capacity to import spare parts. To import the parts implies that you must have other cars to use while waiting for the parts to arrive. When the parts eventually arrive, the machanic who will fix the parts will charge a leg & an arm because it's a specialised vehicle. In the event that the inverter systems requires an overhaul, the gains in fuel will be eroded completely. Are hybrid cars good? Yes but currently, the system in Nigeria does not support their use. I could own one as part of a fleet but not as a lone car. A few owners may have been lucky to use theirs for a few years with no hitch but once the system starts to fail, they will tell a horrifying stories of hybrid ownership. Again, nobody has discouraged anybody from the ownership of a hybrid but you need to weigh your options against the realities of ownership of regular cars in terms of spare parts availability, technical know-how etc. Fuel consumption is not the only yardstick when purchasing a car. |

Siena: Sure, I didn't miss it. If your use of average underscores 'ordinary' then that's fine. Meanwhile, the indiscriminate issuance of license to just anyone without recourse to the persons actual ability to drive & understand rules thereof is a major challenge facing road users in this part of the world. The man tested by @montyng is just one of those who obtained DL with no driving knowledge. The test ought to have ended with the first overt mistake. |
Car Talk / Re: I Found This Professional Driver... by bravolad(m): 2:08pm On May 01, 2016 |
Siena: @Siena the above generalization is faulty. In as much as I agree there are poor drivers in Nigeria, many are still very good drivers. The person he tested is not a driver but an impending accident waiting to happen. His possession of a DL just exposed the porous nature of obtaining a driver's license in Nigeria & the leadership inept inherent in our system. Those errors he pointed out as made by the driver are too obvious to be made by a driver. The issue of nervousness should not arise. I don't know how @montyng found him & decided to test him as a driver. In Nigeria, people who have no idea what a steering wheel is have drivers' license. This is part of the corruption that will be eliminated when we have the right & good leadership in strategic positions. This also suffice it to say that there are numerous ways to find a driver not by possession of a driver's license. There are good drivers in Nigeria. Moreover, poor drivers exist everywhere in the world including Nigeria. 4 Likes |

funso77: I doubt any business person who genuinely gets his money will give you a vehicle based on your terms. To get a mini bus for hirer purchase, you must make some deposits, pay up the balance within a short period so that such owner can maximise profit. Also, your tone on this thread does not portray you as genuinely seeking for help but looking for someone to prey on. I don't think you will meet the conditions for hirer purchase. Just my thought based on your responses. 1 Like |

NnamdiChidi: I find the above response harsh & insulting. You are a salesman bruh; absolutely unwarranted. Simply stating it's your sales strategy would have pitched you as a good salesman. He may have been interested in purchasing the vehicle but your reaction will put him off & some other interested buyers on this forum. You are also wrong with that response. Adding price value to your cars informs your potential buyers whether to proceed with calls especially if the price is within their budget. Intending buyers don't have to call you to know the price of a car. It's a waste of time & money to call only to realise it's beyond their budget. Additionally, revealing your price presents you as a transparent seller. Obviously, you have poor sales skills, impatient and a tad pompous. 21 Likes |
