And like I said, as you mov up the food chain, you'll start finding less manual an more automatics. So let's compare the Golf (VW's entry level vehicle) now to Jetta (VW's mid range vehicle).

On eBay in the entire United States, there are 153 automatics compared to only 33 manuals.

For the Passat, there are 83 autos versus 2 manuals, int he entire USA for sale on eBay.

Arggg brov we are both saying same thing.more auto than manual in America but Europe Mor Manual than Auto

CityNG:
Automatic always has a premium over manual, I am not debating that.

What I don't believe is that the American spec would be Auto .

Ok well I said more likely.Also I was reffering to the european brand to be manual even on American soil.That being said u r more likely to find more manual VWs in Europe than the US.

CityNG:
Sorry no offense meant but I cannot trust you because your data is faulty.

Maybe it's near those numbers for upscale models like Passat/Jetta but not true for VWs intro cars like Golf.

You can check Autotrader.co.uk the datas will speak 4 itself.U can check the percentage n prices of manual relative to the Auto.

ZIMDRILL:
you are being lazy and you want to be spoonfed

the answers you have them by the fingertips google and you will get all the answers

Brov free the guy small, he might just be browsing with is 2" phone

CityNG:
Not true.

Brov trust me, the Eu is %89 stick shift,the USA is more like %90 Auto, now down here Auto cost %10 more than Manual.My BMW is Auto same make,same year ,same Engine cost £1000 less.People are not really into Auto in the Eu.Ironically, teh VW brand and some other EU brand are cheaper to buy in the USA, I don't know why.ie the Jag and Audis

Truckpusher:
How about airbags of tokunbo cars that didn't deploy because they're old,obsolete and have stayed beyond their normal operational time frame?

You fail to realize that cars get tested yearly abroad,moresoe how do you know the expiring date of your Air bag?if your Air bag fails to deploy trust me you Nigerian brother bought and Cat C car shipped it and re packaged the air bag simple.

Golf ke. Do you have an idea of how much it cost to buy a new Volkswagen golf.

christopher123:
sorry for the use of caps....but why wont i drive these bro? just give me one good reason

Ok, please take photos of these cars in real life and come back then I will give you 30 reason why you must not drive these
in the US and EU certain schools would say never buy a new released cars as you might not know what comes with it. Have you been to their factory, seen the safety test? crash test? You dey look am say E fine abi? lol

I want to assume that you posted this out of Ignorance. PLEASE, Buhari never Promised to make Nigeria ungovernable, a PDP Chifetain Lawal Kaita Did. Shamefully, Ruben Abati attributed it to GMB when he was at guardian, he was sued, he apologised.
Here is the statement....

“ANYTHING short of a northern president is tantamount to stealing our presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he will be frustrated out,” he was quoted as saying. He further said that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that would befall Nigeria if Jonathan emerged as the president. - ALhaji Lawal Kaita, PDP BoT Member, 2010

donnypool:

N/B:
Of the $9.3 billion EXTERNAL DEBT, Federal Government’s owes $6.36b, while ALL 36 States plus FCT owes $3.0 billion
As at 2010, Oil Price was at $89 per barrel
As at 2011, It was $103 per barrel
As at Now it is $100 per barrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_oil_market_chronology_from_2003
Meaning, Jonathan have access to more more money than Yar Adua, but he depleted the Foreign Reserve and Still Purge Us into Further Debt With NOTHING to show

If you are a true Economist, you will also note the expenditure in those calculations. We owe nothing compared to the developed world, did you not hear of a state going bankrupt in the US, the state where EMINEM is from.

Hello auto guru,I drives nissan frontier pick up
2000 model,the brake pad is the problem I have,I do change the brake pad every 2weeks
Is it normal? pls house I need your help

two things are Involved, check you brake Disc to see how far grinded they are, if the surface are rough, change them
after driving for a while check the tyre/wheel see if there is excessive heat, if that's the case you got Binding problem, service your callipers, the returning pin might need brake grease
Thirdly. you might be buying substandard brake pads

joedrae:
Who else has noticed an increase in the way Lagos drivers stop in the middle of the road once the car behind them touches them.

The most annoying part is that they don't even care how many cars are behind them or the traffic that arise due to this singular action.

Most traffic in recent times are because of this behaviour in our drivers.

Pls air your views on what can be done to stop or reduce this...

The standard practice is to stop at exact point of contact, take pictures and sort it at the corner if applicable lol

You missed the point, they are expensive, twice the price of TOKS, if your Honda at toks is 2M new will be 4M, you confused me when you asked question about what's special about American and European cars, Answer, the are built to specifics according to motoring laws. Your car is an American car even though its Toyota.

Just to add to my argument, everyone shouting I bought brand new cars, I noticed its all Korean cars, I'm waiting to see who bought brand new Japanese ,European or American cars, I'm waiting,

christopher123:
OH WHAT SAFETY LEVEL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT BRO...INNOSSON HAS AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT WHICH EVERY OTHER MODERN CAR HAVE...THERE ARE CALLED PRIMARY SAFETY AND SECONDARY SAFETY.....


SO LET US ASSUME THAT INNOSSON DONT OFFER SAFETY SO MUST WE BE CONSUMERS OF WESTERN PRODUCTS INSTEAD OF PRODUCING....


THIS IS WHY THEY LAUGH AT US BLACKS......PLS CHANGE THIS ORIENTATION

no need to type in upper case, let me ask you a question, do you drive one of these vehicles? Innosson or Kia?

This is my point, it would be good if you have fixed price on here along your product so no one need to call you for quote, do you get me?

WHy don't you break away from the Nigerian Syndrome and quote prices, this is one thing holding broadcast of Biz in Nigeria, check foreign sight, they always add quotation per square metres so people can make up their mind before they even call you.

you are more likely to get the manual transmission from Europe, the American spec would be Auto

mrakin:
HOW MUCH IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE NEW CAR?
This is one of the the questions I expect to find answer to on this thread.
Someone should please tell us the price range of new cars and where to go. I believe we are here to learn from one another.
E.g. can 1.2m buy a new small car?

Never.

Truckpusher:
Spending some cool millions to buy a tokunbo car is madness........unless somebody you knew that just bought a particular car and decided to sell it due to problems and you're well aware of the history of the car

If you've been disappointed and dissatisfied by a tokunbo car you'll understand me.


I'd rather buy and drive a Kia picanto car than spend money to drive a fairly used range rover sport.

howmany Air bags has that Kia got?how confffy is it,that car is rubbish trust me.
