diportivo:
anoda moniker has started looking for parts already


lets know how it all goes

The only reason people change user name on here is to Scam people . Now OP what's the reason behind this ? 1st it was wrong car ie Toyota ok we got that but different user name ?

halima83:
yes boss. You are right. But that price excludes shipping and fees.
I pray there is nothing wrong with the engine.

if You are bent on bringing this car to 9ja, look for people who do consolidated cargo,they have a one stop approach, you collect your car from thier ware house.They know how to dismantle a car to make it look like parts without damaging nothing.

halima83:
I mistakenly bought a non-drivable car toyota corolla with rear accident from one of the auction sites in the US. and I can't cancel it.
After I clicked on buy now option I got an email from the site that my car is a none drivable. chaiii


I went back to the site and confirmed as that.

I am yet to make full payment though.

Those with experience with buying the non-drivable cars what is your take on this?

What were the issues with these types of cars?

lalasticlala please help your sister for feedback from the experts.

Take my advice, sell this car as part bits by bits,you will get your money back this way.

LeJeun3:


They won't understand....

Na true

SImple put, There is nothing like Dansuki coming out, cos he has nothing to offer
My Take, he was used to blackmail a whole lot of people,If one follows this case carefully, all the evidence always start with *Dansuki said*
No one took a written statement from him or was he put under Oat.
SO If he is placed on the dock Im sure He would deny every saying loads of waht he was put at saying more so under cross examination he will fumble if indeed he said so but lying!
Lets watch and see if the SS will release him in the 1st place

SalamRushdie:
The bill should have gone further to outlaw payments of Ransome and also prescribe death sentence to those who pay Ransom to kidnappers . silly as it sounds that would be the fastest way to stem the growth

name one country who practice that? you also forgot that fact that it was lack of security that will make a person get adopted,its like fining a person for having bad shock on their cars when the road have massive pot holes.I think teh death sentence is a great step 4ward.Some people have become Billionaires overnight all claiming Ghana Burgers.

LeJeun3:


Premium price for premium parts.....

But many people feel their brakes work only when they hear fiiiiiiiii

When you tell some people your brake Pads are 3 to 4 years Old they think you are high on cheap weed

Kereokwu:
Pls which is the best brand of break-pad, I changed mine a month ago and since then it's been 1 funny noise or the other. I went to a different mechanic and he told me to use Toyota break-pads that they are noiseless, what I am currently using is Yamasida(I hope I got d spellings correct).

Any Ceramic Brake pad will set ur mind at ease . They are premium though .

LeJeun3:



Ceramic Brake pads are the ish! No screetching sound, no wear dust, better wet braking etc

Baba U forgot to add they are expensive plus the tittle of this thread should be *How often you check your Brake Pads *

AutoReportNG:
All is now set as work officially begins at the new 10-lane Lagos airport Road. If you have any business within that road, its better you find an alternative road, though law enforcements will be on ground to enforce traffic rules and ensure the road moves. These are some of the pictures

musicwriter:
The real thing APC wants is create a one party state, not to be challenged. The signs are there this party would do "anything" to remain in power. In the process, they'll destroy all the achievements made in the past years to enthrone democracy in this country.

But that nor go work nah,, the vast majority of teh SS states are still in the Hands of PDP and thats where the real money lay for NOW!¬

Antipob777:
See how you just spoke rubbish. I'm sure you are an iPod terrorist.

Why not told us why they were arrested before you spoke this rubbish

English jst got murdered

EgunMogaji:
BMW, Mercedes do not assemble CKD and call them manufacture. Just two examples.

Are you going to now call yourself a manufacturer because you assembled the dashboard in your Rover?

We insult the Chinese engineers that actually manufactured these cars.

Anyways we’ll agree to disagree.

Ahaha baba you dey underestimate these chinko people . In BMW and Mercedes the ABS plastic
Trims are made in China BMW branded it's a bit dark here now.I would have taken pic of my Own headlight made in Hungary in a BMW .
All these manufacturers of cars have the Engines only exclusively manufactured by 5 hem for secrecy .
Oh as per your question I will be a Dashboard manufacturer

EgunMogaji:
My Bro, you dey fall my hand o.

IVM is an assembler not a manufacturer.

They just assemble from real Chinese CKD cars.

Bet you knew this

Bross word on street you are very correct but tel me who amongst car manufacturers who don't do this ?
The vast majority of Engineering companies do the same
Look at the Range rover sport 2012 chasis Land rover Engine Jaguar , Gear box Jaguar . So who is the manufacturer of the car ofcos the person who assembled it .
True he buys flat packed cars but he puts them together to produce his own Brand . That's the line I'm trailing .

AutoReportNG:
Then its better not to say manufacture... That word has a large meaning.. Thats my personal take bro

Stop this . You are more than this school of thought
When you put various parts together to form one functioning entity is that not manufacturing !

AreaFada2:
People have forgotten that to get money in the past, you had to go into a bank. No ATM. Just because you can collect money from ATM now does not mean you don't get money OTC anymore.

Automation does not mean no more old fashioned manufacturing.

With time, automation will come. It is expensive.

Even top car brands like Mercedes, Toyota, General Motors, BMW do not make their own car batteries, tyres, spark plugs, car jacks, cables and hundreds of other car parts. Many other industries feed into the automobile industry creating millions of other jobs worldwide.

What do you expect from indomi generation who dont know we once listen to music from catridge . And we never had FM

nurey:
so why dont they just call it welding and fabricating plant abi nah joining plant

Anywhere you weld and assemble machines is called a plant . With money he can Automate some of the process

AutoReportNG:
Thats why I said I doubt if any manufacturing takes place in what I am seeing. This is more like an apprentice workshop learning how to panel-beat irons.. Take a look at these

This was our everybody started and let me also tell you . There are cars still built this way as we speak . Some classic cars are built by Hand not machine .

nurey:
The Pix i posted is what car manufacturing plant looks like, even the pictures my father brought from abroad in these factories are identical to my pix, the op pix looks like baba Tawa the great welder shop.

Until we stop deceiving ourselves in these country and call rubbish, rubbish, mediocre mediocre and ask the right questions then the dream of attaining greatness cannot be fulfilled in this country

Bross these are Robots at work . We have men welding and fabricating in the plants in Nigeria . Our level never reach like dis .

ikukuhero:
The truth hurts. Yes, it does! The writer's English is grossly embarrassing. Fact! When autocorrect does its magic, we know. We also know when deliberate abbreviations, words and tenses become unreadable and annoying. No one is perfect; however, don't applaud and encourage mediocrity.

Read what I wrote again, I imported the car from the US,in 2014, it was a 2001 model of what you are selling and I sold it then for the said amount, if I buy a 2016 model of same car, it is going to cost me exactly same price to ship it as yours, like I said, your car in all landing price frm USA to Lagos min N950K,disadvantage of importing such cars and for this price nah Joke U dey abi?
