Better load it in a truck and offload at destination

Thanks for the input. Is it something they do in Nigeria? Where does one get the truck for this purpose?

Car Talk › Re: Help! My Car Is Always At The Mechanic by Dwightventures(m): 8:24am On May 08, 2023

ipobarecriminals:
some of those idiots mechanic are out to squeeze /dig hole inside your pocket.i guess you bought this car from another Naija fellow. It is Wickedness to sell problem to another man. Contact Gazzuz for necessary assistance

It is the standard Nigerian way, and God save you to criticise them for it. This same car now, when they want to sell it they will advertise as "very good condition". Anything they admit wrong with it is a thing everybody would be able to see easily.

After they will tell me they're not a wicked nation. I know this country very well and that's why they hate me.

Anyway, trust me: a lot of problems cars face in Nigeria are both mechanic incompetence AND user stupidity and total ignorance. They said the car was running well for a period after initial purchase. Cars don't behave themselves just to change owners. Maybe the latest owners did something wrong. I have a LOT of experience. I'm using a 32 year old car for the past 5 years now and I don't have a mechanic and the car has never broken down on the road (I have had issues but they were sorted out and moved on). I do have vast technical knowledge but the most important which any car owner should have is knowledge how their car works for proper diagnosis when incidents arise. Mechanics can carry out specific tasks (which they don't even do very well), but they're not the most intelligent bunch in society to make a correct diagnosis of a problem

Car Talk › Is It Possible To Tow A Vehicle Hundreds Of Kilometers? by Dwightventures(op): 4:07am On May 08, 2023

Hi there. In the search for a vehicle to purchase one can find their perfect match but which is far away.

Is it a normal thing to tow a vehicle on Nigerian highways from say Kano or Abuja to say Lagos? More importantly how much would it cost, for a normal salon car ("sedan" has taken over in Nigerian lingua) and for a massive jeep like the Landcruiser.

Thank you

Poverty no good o. Thank God I'm now free. I'll ride it as long as I can, get whatever I can from individual item sale. No way to close this thread but I think this comment is important. I've already spent 800k after this post. I can now write the 600k unrecouped investment as a loss pending any change i get from the rest of the items. I'm simply in a BETTER place. Thank Jah! You don't want to need a Nigerian's help or else you're most likely finished. The crab mentality is real.

FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT THIS DEAL IS OVER! A sensible person could have made something from it, but they didn't because they would be helping me in the process. I will either make 500k or more from the items or leave them to rot. Nobody deserves generosity from me. No one earned it

I used to own a 2005 Prado v6.. Nice car.. But lacks the refinement of its sibling Lexus GX.. Fuel consumption is quite high and parts are expensive for a vehicle that looks like a towing van.

I got tired of of its looks and swapped it out for a 2007 Lexus GX460... Difference is like night and day.

Lol to that. I'm seeing too many Lexus SUVs these days on the road. Might as well be Nigeria's most popular SUV now

Before you blame buyer, I have transacted a whole lot here and the sellers delivered.

Thieves and scammers are to be blamed

I am one such seller. It is the buyers that have robbed me by the way. People looking for unrealistic price are the main problem. My prices are always competitive. They will still be looking for even less. My business line has now gone with one phone that a buyer took from me. I no longer want to prove to anyone that I am clean. I want them to prove they're not crooks. Result: little sales volume. This country is sick

I dunno, I don’t do Peugeot so I can’t answer for that. However, I’m a firm believer in driving your car regularly for long distance to warm up properly and keep things in shape.

I just joined this part of nairaland as I'm planning to go into car market.

I have a V-boot that for most of the past 5 years I've had it, I drive it twice or thrice a month, 30-50km on average and it's in top shape.

I only changed the battery I bought in 2018 last year. Total maintenance expenditure in 5 years is probably 100k and I do most things myself -- I don't have a mechanic. Only major work done that was a must was water pump change, which existed before I bought the car. One kick start till date, the record was after parking for 12 days straight! I changed the fuel accumulator today which was compromising that one-kick start of late. Price: 2k.

I understand recent cars are made to expire after a while (planned obsolescence). So to each his own

You have no right to come to the public and declare a car was stolen just because your computer told you VIN don't match.

If you can properly identify the seller and it happens he's genuine and there are other reasons for this apparent discrepancy, I would sue you for defamation

Autos › Re: Is Increased Dollar Price The Reason For Inflated Car Price Or Wickedness? by Dwightventures(m): 5:19pm On Apr 21, 2023

buygala:
The hike in price of toks cars has led to a correspondent hike in price of its alternative, Nigerian used Vehicles. This is because there is now more demand for Nigerian used Vehicles, since toks vehicle is out of most people's grasp.. The current reality is that Clean Nigerian used is the new Toks.. If you like buy, if you like, no buy.

Also maintenance costs have also gone up...Car parts dealers do not care if the car whose parts you wanna replace is toks or Nigerian used.. So if someone is maintaining his car at current car part rates, why will he sell the car at old rates?.. A 4litre can of Mobil 20W50 cost 4500 as recently as 3 years ago.. Now it's more than 10k...So if a car owner serviced his car with mobil of 10k, he should sell it as if he was buying the oil at 4500?

Yes my theory still applies.. If you have a car you bought pre-2018, feel free to sell it at pre-2018 price, as a Father Christmas that you are.. Only then will you realize how much you have jonzed when you realize you sold the car for less or a little more than the present cost of its toks or packaged Nigerian used engine and gearbox.. Criticising people's actions is easy until you try to do the action you criticise..

Show the "greedy car dealers" how to fairly sell their cars by posting your own here at Alubarika prices...Talk is cheap, walking the talking is what is expensive.

I'm truly shocked by our people's basic lack of understanding of economics and demand and supply law. They do understand if they're the seller though. I'm not a car importer. If a human being can find buyers of a broom stick for 1 million naira, he would sell it for as such. The moderating factor is the demand (the willingness to pay such and such). That's why a price is an equilibrium of demand and supply.

I sell cameras and I know how much I used to buy them before the 2020 dollar disaster. Today people are still demanding I sell same price or even less than in 2020. I refuse to take a 50+% loss; they find other photographers who have made money with their own cameras and can afford to maintain that price at a loss to we importers who don't use the cameras to make money. I can not force them that they must pay x2.5 because dollar has risen by that amount. It cuts both ways but each person is looking only for his own benefit
