I speed a lot cos I don't like staying on the road for long and I hate slow driving. However, I'm always very focused and alert when speeding. I don't take calls or look at irrelevant things on the road at that moment. My eyes move from my side mirrors to inner mirror and my front... The thrill of going past several cars at times could be a little bit exciting. If my vehicle isn't in a sound state, I wouldn't try that though. I'd just drive gently. I also noticed that I drive very fast and rough at times, when I'm upset. It feels like I transfer my aggression to the car...

Hmmm. Finding out that someone is cheating on you, can do so many things to you. It could mess up your mind badly and you'd start seeing almost everyone as the same. It could also cause you to have a low self esteem at some point and you'd start wondering how you managed not to be good enough, not knowing you are not really at fault. The thought of someone trying to play smart with you, is even annoying. They'd make it look like you are a fool... I really admire the courage victims of infidelity, exude in forgiving their partners and moving on. Nothing is as bad as not being able to trust the person your heart beats for.

Also, never accept the position of a side guy or girl. If they can't make you number 1, move on quietly with your life.

Lol. This government would go down as the most unserious, comic and useless government in the history of this country.

I don't know the kind of training our security agencies get but one thing I know is that most of them are unintelligent. 3 policemen were in a security post and robbers drove in. What could they have done? One of them could have aimed shots at the tyres of the vehicle to prevent them from having a quick get away while the other two, aim shots at the head of the driver and the dude that came out from the left passenger door of the vehicle at the back. Killing the driver and the guy at the left back passenger door, with the tyres deflated, would have left them a little bit shaken and they would have needed another getaway car... This would have at least kept some of the officers alive. Instead, they chose to shoot sporadically at the glass and body of the car, knowing how inaccurate shots from an AK47 can be....

How you dey?

Please guys what is ponyor?

It's an Edo / Delta slang for pussy.

pryme:
OK, pls can you give some names of reputable car dealers that are honest?

Go out to car lots around Lagos or wherever you stay. Check for a car you like, get the vin and do a carfax report. If it shows it's a clean title, do a test drive and close the deal with them. It's that simple.

pryme:
Wow, so how do one get a clean accident free tokunbo car? at a good price

If you are ready to pay the price, you'd get one. People still import clean title cars. Their prices are usually higher though.

pryme:
Do auction sites give accurate info about cars on auction?, if yes which are the best auction sites?
Thanks.

Not exactly. For example, a car with a faulty kick starter, can be listed with the tag "salvaged" and when they want to state the type of damage, you would see "mechanical damage". You can't know exactly what the fault is until you buy it and start working on it here or over there as the case may be.

I need a good car

Go through my topics and check out the ones you can afford.

Divorce straight up. I don't like liars and I can't stand someone who would always give me a reason to doubt her loyalty.

Nice post but let's get some things straight.

1. Not every accidented car is bad. Some have just minor impacts. So long as the impact doesn't affect the chasis, you are good to go.

2. Rolled back mileages aren't only done here. They are also done overseas. The major reason why mileages are being rolled back in naija, is the greed and unrealistic expectations of most clients. The average yearly drive of a car in the US should give you around 15,000 miles. A Nigerian would be asking for a 2003 toyota corolla with 80,000 miles. Dealers who are desperate to sell, would have it rolled back to suit the clients. That a mileage is high, doesn't necessarily mean the engine is gone. I have gotten cars from Canada that the owners replaced engine at around 180k or 200k miles. So when such a car comes with a mileage of 300k, you hear people saying the mileage is too high, not knowing it's not the same engine that ran the entire 300k miles.

3. No Car Dealer can make 700k on a 2006 corolla as at today. It's almost impossible. Even if you calculate with the lowest of estimate. Let's assume shipping cost just $1000,clearing cost 500k, auction fees and trucking costs, $800. That would give you a total of 1,166,000. Let's assume the car was bought at $2,500(925,000) using 370 as exchange rate. Add it up to previous figure and it gives a total of 2,091,000. How much is the average selling price of a corolla in the market? 2.4-2.5m. There are some other charges not even added.

4. I like the fact that this topic is right here. Clients would appreciate it when they see clean title cars for good prices. Most times, when you try to tell them your price is higher cos it's accident free, they'd tell you how they got one for way cheaper (using price of seriously accidented cars to negotiate).


5. No matter how we look at it, the truth is if some people weren't importing accident and flooded cars, most Nigerians won't be able to afford cars. I once saw a 99 Camry with 42k original miles in the US, for $7500. Imagine buying that type of car and trying to sell it on Nairaland? All the miscreants on this site would start calling you all manner of names and telling you how much the car is worth.

Listened to and watched the video of the dammy vee, and I'm still at a loss what the hype is all about. Nothing fantastic or extraordinary about him.
