Olawrites:


Even though at times, I no say u dey cap..but I enjoy your trolling. The world need people like you at this time.

Dey play

There goes the answers you seek for those who've had dealings with me.
The cars I ride alone dwarfs whatever measly earnings you make. Check attached screenshot.
The wise learn..
The envious hate and wallow in abject misery.

If ee sure for you, post your upwork earnings for this year till date, and I'd do same.

Noticed I don't even answer mentions on here again?
I only respond to post when I feel like..
Gtfoh with your ramblings. Not needed, and you'll never be on my level earnings wise, because I never hated, but learned on my own.
Don't bother quoting me....
I won't reply.🤡🤡🤡

Deypray:
what's going on onUpwork lately? I've been freelancing for long to know that the Introduction of the Upwork project dashboard will not go down well for freelancers. Just as it also made fiverr look totally unattractive. Where a client gives you one bag of cement to build him a mansion.

And I don't want to assume I'm the only one affected. I get at least 3 invites daily. At least 2-3k monthly with a writing Gig. Most of my jobs are through invites.

Lately, it's like a jungle. Within minutes, more than 20 people justling for a 20$ job proposal.

Any way forward?

it's only you Mr.
Make your proposal standout.. It's not that hard of a thing is it? I've made about 4k from 1st of may to present!

kingreign:


How did you arrived at it being a Nigerian used car?

Because he asked questions only a user with the mindset of getting a Nigerian used car will ask..

Revisit the OP'S initial post.

kingreign:


Teesha please ignore this comment.

Dispute with facts?

Old mercs are money pits.
Granted the E-Klasse sedans are fairly reliable, but something tends to break down every now and often, which makes it A MONEY PIT.

And to worsen the scenario, it's a Nigerian used car with Nigerians having a perchance for negligent maintenance culture.

TeeSha:
Good day guys
I need advise on this 2008 E350 I'm thinking of purchasing.
Is it reliable as a daily driver to and from work(Roughly an hour's drive per trip)?

What's the maintenance like?
Are the parts readily available in Abuja?
What's the average cost of maintenance......say.... monthly

money pit.

toobasky:
I will try that but please how much does it cost to replace a gasket? thanks.

Should be between 4-10k for your car.

toobasky:
Hello house. I use a c230 benz 2007 model. A rewire did some work on the car and forgot to replace the fan switch (the fan works direct by the way not auto) and I didn’t notice also. I was actually very distracted and drove the car for some hours before I noticed the fan isn’t working and temp stat had gotten to 100... I immediately turned it off and allowed it cool and fixed the fan switch. But few days after this incident I started noticing milky oil in my water tank, at first it was little and then it became much and I was worried. Yesterday I decided to check the engine oil gauge and I saw it was well below minimum. This is my first Mercedes car and I am confused as to what to do... I have parked the car for now... I don’t trust the mechanic I have been using so I guess what I need is what the solution to this problem is and any reputable benz mechanic that can help fix this in Kaduna. Thank you as I await your kind responses...

Gasket õtîlo.

Here's how to know if you have a blown gasket.
Turn on the car with the radiator cover off, and if it gushes water in rapid succession, there you have it.

Milky substances in your radiator is a major indicator of a blown head gasket.

Blowout!

BucketMan:
hello boss I'm very sorry for being a bother, I've been following your tips avidly on the Upwork thread and as a newbie I just recently landed my first $30 gig, but I'm currently out of data to complete the task and the agreed deadline is tomorrow, will really appreciate if you can assist me with something, anything at all sir, I'm much obliged sir. More wins

Na today? It is very surprising that most of you do not know the implications of this event but continue to spew thrash. British pounds isn't the world's trading currency yet, it has the highest value in the world.

The pounds isn't the highest valued currency in the world oga.

Yes I will pick CVT if the particular transmission model is okay. If that model only comes with CVT and it's my choice, I will buy it.

Yen yen yen

nurey:


There is no CVT engine, what we have is CVT transmission and honda variant are reliable

reliable? A Cvt transmission is never reliable, and with the callous maintenance culture of Nigerians with a tendency to put wrong oils in those transmissions..

So would you choose a Cvt over an automatic?

You meant fragile?
Dey play.

nurey:


CVT engine indeed. Otondo JJC

Cvt transmission or engine?
Ómó ale

I was obviously deferring to the Cvt transmission mumu.

TrebleChamp:
You seem like an expert in Honda cars, please what is your honest view about CVT engine? I saw a Honda CRV vs Toyota rav4 review on YouTube, and the Oyinbo guys review the cars complained about CVT engine in Honda cars.

Abort mission.
Any wrong oil in that engine means death.
Too fragile of an engine.
Abort mission.

ActivatedDreams:
Good evening house,

Please I need suggestions for a first time car owner who also wants to consider doing bolt at free time not full time.

Key points
Appearance:
maintenance
Full consumptions
And more

Please budget is 2-3M (Nigeria used)

go for a corolla. Yeah yeah, the bandwagon effect; but if it isn't broken don't fix it.
I don't even like Toyotas my self, but a corolla ticks all those boxes you've mentioned.
For the purpose of the purchase - a 2006 corolla fits the bill.

TT20:


Thank you bro.

And again, for that enormous V8, it's never a fuel guzzler.

A full tank takes me considerably long, although I got mine with the catalyst still intact.
The parts are fairly cheap unlike its 4matic counterparts.

Budget 60k for its oil change every 6 months.

8 liters of original Mobil 1 should do, alongside the OEM mercedes benz oil filter.

I rarely drive my 015 except on special occasions, and I've turned the 09 to a daily driver, as it's ever reliable.

I have an affinity for white cars, so choose a color that suits your preference.

Again,YOLO.

TT20:
Please house, I'm considering a 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. Please are there what to look out for ? Please educate me. Thanks

Ignore that dude.
I have the 09 cls550 and 2015 variant, and I can give you first hand experience, not hearsay.


I'm assuming you're looking at the 2009 generations downwards.

Things to look out for....
The engine is almost indestructible, with the 302 hp(cls500) always roaring when you need it.

The airmatic suspension gives you this buttery riding experience.
My older cls550 still turns heads.

Cons.
The transmission is fragile, so you need original fluids.
If you can, replace the airmatic to regular struts.


I've had mine for 3 years now, and I've not had issues other than the regular oil change, once in 6 months, and minor suspension replacements.


YOLO.

Bukayo Saja, this is on you.

kingreign:


No hyping what’s not needed. I’d take the RX, it’s no brainer, I’ve owned an RX330 for 6.5years and NO break down. Most lexus owners can attest to the quality of what they are driving.

Finally it boils down to preference, but saying a GLE will out do a lexus RX, I’d be forced to ask by what margins? Repair bills or what?

yen yen yen. Forget any bandwagon effect, you're not taking any Rx over a Gle.

Oh!!!
Are you in Phc?

Hello house.
I changed my C class engine as the previous one got overheated and I decided to drive it to a safe place. It stopped and knocked off my block engine.
For this new one, after successful mounting and coupling, it refuses to start. They said the key started was damaged by the mechanic, had to get a new one. The vehicle worked for like 10mins upon steaming and went off. They said a Coil is not working, I got a new Coil. Vehicle still didn't start. They now said the ECU maybe faulty that I shd take it for testing. They tested and said only two plug sensors are working out of the 6. I'm maxed out right now and don't want to spend another dime with my vehicle not working.
Any recommendations of a good mechanic and auto electrician in Abuja?
Thanks

I hate the MF, but kingreign should be able to fix your issues.

Kelvin30286063:
So it's been a while since I last posted in the car section. That is because I have found a new love and I'm just enjoying my new found love for motorcycles.
But I still want to share something that happened to me a few months ago so that you guys can learn a few things from it.

You all know I bought a 2012 ZDX early last year. The car has been amazing so far. Infact it has opened my eyes to a few things I don't know about cars. One of which is that if you have a good car, you may forget the road to your mechanic's workshop 😂
Apart from oil change (which I only do every 3 months when the warning shows up) I don't do anything else.
That was my joy until about 3 months ago when I suddenly saw that a check engine light came up on my dash. I've never had check engine light so I immediately check the info screen and it says Check Emission System.
I literally panicked cos we all know how stubborn that problem is. Infact I've that problem on my other car and it never got resolved until now even though I threw a lot of money at it at one time.
So I went to a very big auto repair company here in Akure and complained about the issue. At first I was worried that it's something to do with the fact that someone bumped me from behind at a checkpoint recently but it shouldn't be cos I checked and there was no issue with my exhaust or bumpers.
Long story short, after an exhausting check with machines and physical inspections, they concluded that my catalytic converter is not there anymore. I laughed so hard cos if there is no catalyst in the car, I will have check engine light long before now. But the mechanic insisted that we take out the catalysts and check them. So I gave them the go ahead. My car people, you won't believe what we saw inside my catalytic converters

This people filled the catalyst with bokoharam wires. They filled it so much that it didn't trigger check engine light until it later did. And when my car was having slow pick up, I thought it was because of the cats. I didn't know it was because the exhaust can't breath well.
ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US FROM THIS PEOPLE.

I tried to trace who could have done it but I couldn't pinpoint anyone cos I don't remember ever leaving my car at a mechanic for so long for that to be done. That job must have taken two straight days to do!
At the end, I had to spend 450k on complete tokunbo catalytic converters cos somehow the car didn't work fine without them.

My conclusion is that they did this at the dealership where I bought the car. So my people, even if there is no check engine light or Check Emission System on the car you want to buy, don't conclude that the catalysts are okay. These people are pure evil.

no we don't
