selfmadeOLX: Thanks so much
And yes I haven’t seen a Veracruz on the road, yet As much information as I have come to, The reviews on the engine was that every 60k miles or so, the valve head gasket do leak oil on the alternator and kills it which stalls the vehicle
So when the oil drip starts, the head gasket, alternator needs changing. Can this be done I don't know where u get ur reviews from . Have shipped about 5 vearcruz so far . They are harder and harder to find. The ones have sold are around 160k miles. No issues at all. They are good cars, if buying anyone plz make sure u buy Tokunbo . And follow owners manual at all times....... Pics below.. Have sold 5 so far ..looking for more ....

kanuisagoat: He who has an ear let him hear. If you have a trusted source for Mobil 1, by all means buy. If you can't get from a trusted source, its better to buy original 20w50.
I almost destroyed my engine because I bought fake synthetic oil from a so called trusted seller on nairaland. You should mention names o ...... And if you can't mention names . It means you not sure if it was the oil or your engine packed up .......... |

komodapson: Omo!!! Reasoning too full your head....I thought about this, all these foreign brands of items...whenever they come into country they ain't the same standard bro....so why waste your money...na just trademark dem dey sell...I'll rather go with this piece of advise Penny wise , pound foolish........... Mobil 20w50 at an accredited station is 9k Naira for 4liter. Depending on ur car usage .. Especially for ehailing ... You will need to change every 3k miles.......
Uber driver does at least 2k miles a month .... Break down cost each oil change every month or 10k miles.....
Mobil 20w50........ 9k Oil Change labour.......3k Oil Filter.................... 2500k Total = 14500k each month or every 3k miles
Super Tech Advance for 20k miles 22500k Naira. ( Change oil every 3months or 10k miles) *** use quality filter...........
Super Tech .....22500k Fram Extended Oil filter 5k naira....... good for 10k miles oil change.
Oil change Labour .......3k
..........kindly do the math....... Keep the following in mind .......
Fram oil Filter 10k miles oil change.... Filter will last for the whole 3months or 10k miles .......
Non Extended Oil filter .... You have to change them every time you do oil change.
As we enter 2022 make we buckle up . make we use sense on how we spend money..... |

peeps4u: LOL, no be ehailing e wan do now. The guy is buying is very first car , I don't think you read that part  so let me educate you young man  When buying your very first car , you want something cheap , manageable, something you can learn from before buying more expensive car ...... When buying ur first car, you will get into a little accident here and their. People will scratch your car and you will scratch theirs etc You might even forget to do the basic things as car owner . So when u learn all these things it will prepare u better when u are ready to buy your dream car or whatever upgrade u can afford. |

Ernesttoby30: Good day gurus in the house. Please my Honda civic 07 is really frustrating me with over heating.
I've changed Radiator cover One fan Single cell radiator to NEW double cell radiator
And yet my car water is drying up very quickly causing overheating. No leakage has been seen so far. Please help me. I'm really frustrated. My mechanic keep on working on Guess work. I'm tired The manufacture has configure and design the engine to work at a certain level. Certain things in the engine are design to protect the engine etc ..... But when mechanics or car owners start to deviate from manufacture design like , changing from Automatic compressor to manual, from single cell to double cell , from coolant to using water, from 1 fan to rewire to use 2 fans. From removing thermostat etc . "All because our Nigerian weather is not like abroad" all these design are done to protect the engine from further damage, but u start to do ur own thing on the car , you end up damaging the car .. It might not happen right away , but with time the car will break down. And this is why I don't buy Nigerian used cars. There is a reason why the previous owner decides to sell of the car |

donfortune48: Lolzz. I like your positivity sha. At least, it's quite likely that you'll do well when you start. But just know that you will never understand all our jabs, insults and counter arguments here, till you drive on the platform.
Before I started driving, I followed the thread for months without commenting here. And during that period, I was an ardent supporter of Dru23, and an opponent to Gazzuzz. I almost rejected the matrix given to me and was rather requesting for a Honda civic; due to how brainwashed I was, following dru23.
It took me less than 1month on the Hustle to turn against him and became an absolute fan of Gazzuzz.
Dru23 have cars on the hustle, but have never driven on it. And till he drives on Uber (either for fun or profit) we may never be on the same page.
Uber driving experience is unique and quite peculiar to paper statistics.

kanuisagoat: This is clear now. Thanks.
This model assumes there will always be multiple buyers for every vehicle.
What if the vehicle the person want to buy is rare and he's the only one interested in it. How do you determine the amount of deposit to take We do have multiple buyers for each vehicles and sometimes we dont. And if we don't we sell the cars when it gets to LAGOS.. I try to buy the cars low as possible . This is why I prefer buying from private sellers ....... And to put it out there. The profit margin on cars are very low .Some of these guys are making 50k 100k or some are getting just their capital, and some are 3rd party car dealers. Someone will bring a car today to sell. They fix it up etc and than sell on behalf of their client . we have many of them on nairaland and all over LAGOS. The exchange rate is not helping at all . As of today Dec 28th 2021 buying dollar is 565 and selling is 558. .......... But in my own case , I load containers and I can't just load without filling it with cars. The cars are used to offset the container goods. So whether person put deposit or not . I go buy and load inside container. And cars I look for are not that rare .... I usually buy the following types of cars....... 1. Hyundai elantra 2. Volvo Xc90 3. Hyundai vearcruz 4. Camry and Toyota if the price is right for container loading... 5. Toyota sienna. There is nothing rare about this vehicles. And I was thinking of buying a ford edge(pic below) . but the deal didn't go through ... And I have never had issues selling this cars at all . The most important thing is to buy them cheap enough. And most times I do come across very good deals.
