Zizzo,

4matic is not a car or model of car, it is an AWD four-wheel drive system developed and used by Mercedes-Benz.
Pls state if its a C, ML, GL etc you are refering to.

A friend too had a bitter experience dealing with a "POPULAR" Nairaland dealer based in Agidingbi. I have a feeling its the same fellow Joy2Dwise and Amdman are referring to. 

Naija Dealers and their funny, dubious ways

Scenario 1 - A dealer changing the emblem behind a 2008 camry from "LE" to "XLE" because he wants to maximise profit. I have seen like 6 instances on NL.

Scenario 2 - Posting a naija used car on NL without stating the known issues with the car. He presents the car as being perfect and almost new on NL. When the buyer comes around to inspect the car, the seller tries to distract him from noticing the flaws by over-emphasizing irrelevant things in the car.

Scenario 3 - Dealer tells buyer a 2009 accord doesnt require radio codes before money changes hands. Buyer changes battery and the radio requires code to work. He calls the dealer who claims ignorance of the fact that even a 2003 accord requires code. Buyer has to pay N8,000 to get code.

Scenario 4 - Dealer posting VIN of a clean title car on a similar car (salvage) he has posted on NL. How can I forget the biggest of them all, ODOMETER ROLLBACK. A friend visited a car shop in Lagos and all the cars there ranging from 2000-2009 model had mileage between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. He didnt even bother running VIN checks.

Once they collect money, the buyer is ON HIS OWN to manage the issues because they will not take responsibility for it. So "SHINE your EYES" before paying. Dont believe this line "Someone else is coming to deposit for the car TODAY, so hurry up", its a big lie. Why is it same day you came around that another person wants to deposit?

May GOD help us all.

I got both codes today but had to pay dearly for them. Navi and radio are working again. Paid N12,000.00 to get them.

It seems this thread aint offering help on HONDA radio unlock codes anymore. The last time the original poster Mistakay responded on this thread was 2009. PLEASE, who can assist with the codes? I do not mind paying. I need the codes for my 2008 accord radio/navi. email is seyeola@hotmail.com

No wahala. By the way did you buy your dogs locally or you imported them? I think i'm beginning to like boerboels but i'm partial to dobermans. I love their sleek mean look.

I got the brindle and one of the fawn bboels from SA but the 3rd one from SA parents raised in Naija.
I called Ruvela concerning the trainer and the fella said he would get back to me.

1759:
Those are lovely dogs you got there. Well i don't know any trainer personally but they are good ones around. You can contact Ruvela Nig Ltd the organizers of the dog show. If they don't train dogs i'm sure they can link you to trainers.

Ruvela: 74, Okota Road, Isolo, Lagos, ruvelanija@yahoo.com, 08033318093 or 07055054095

You could also contact the publishers of Dog's World magazine o 01-4818128, 01-4611856 or caninewelfare@aol.com

You could also contact the Nigeria Police dog section. I'm sure you should be able to make a private arrangement with any of their dog trainers/handlers. I've seen one or two police dogs and they seem to be disciplined. If you are in Lagos i think they have a barracks at obalande, beside the mobile police barracks which is right beside Dodan barracks.

Good luck.

Thanks 1759, I will get in touch with the contacts you gave. Cheers mate.

@ 1759, Do you know of any reputable guard dog trainer? I am in serious need of one b4 my 3 juvenile boerboels chase me from my house, lol

At the background is my 10 yr old GSD.

a friend will call you as per this LR3 soon.

So fresh and so clean. Wish you speedy sales.

I think we have some sub standard cars in Nigeria been sold as New Cars. A couple of weeks back, a 2008 Hyundai SUV was brought to a friend's workshop for body repairs. What baffled everyone was that the SUV got hit seriously by the side (doors had to be replaced) but the air bags in the door panels didnt deploy. When the door panels were removed, there was no sign of any airbag in both doors. The other doors were also examined, no airbags installed but they all had the airbag sign on them.


What do you guys think about this case?

please provide check for VIN:4c1te32k66u724735
