But since you said you will use it for Uber. Then good 2005 Corolla is your best.

mejai:
There's no way u can ignore the sound. A very embarrassing sound.

ok thanks

Piyke:
Lol



Beyond the ball joint issue, the real reason why a lot of Nigerians experience breakdowns is that they don't treat cars the way they've been designed to be treated. We buy cars with a plan to abuse them.
How often do planes crash? A major reason is that planes go through a strict preventive maintenance schedule. People don't want to spend money on this critical tool for movement which can determine their life or death.
There are very few faults in a car that can leave you stranded which don't come with warning signs or have a preventive maintenance schedule recommended at a certain mileage.
On the ball joint, you will hear sounds akin to a door with rusted hinges being forced open when you turn the steering. You will also have the popular ka-ka-ka-ka sound when you turn the steering if its the CV axle that is worn leg pull.
I had the former symptoms in 2015, replaced it with a cheap Chinese brand and immediately ordered the OEM from the US. Once fitted, the car remained solid till I sold it in 2022. Last time I tested the ball joint it still had no gap. Yea, it cost an arm and a leg, but I'd rather fix it that way and go to sleep.
Sorry for the long answer!

thanks.

But when you roll up on AC and playing music are you going to still hear the sound?

Is it like a vibration or just a noice? Or a kind of tightness from the steering wheel. As per difficulty turning the tyres.

On Thursday I went to Enugu biggest auto mechanic and part market called "coal calm" to purchase ODB2 scanner.

To my amusement Non of them know what it was. I was like a fool in the market. I kept on explaining myself car scanner the Device to scan a car for error code.

Once an Igbo man doesn't have or know what you are looking for. He will direct you go check that side. That's how they keep directing me up and down until I finally find one guy who knows about it. He called it obi scanner. He said I cannot get it in the whole of this market. It was so shameful.

Then I saw a guy holding a programmer and I thought it was a scanner I ask him where he bought that thing I want to buy. It looks strange to him he ask me what I want to do with it. He said he got it from Lagos I can't find it here. That thing I am seeing is over 400k.

I told him that there are cheaper ones now, is that not a car scanner he said no it's a programmer.

If all the many auto part seller and kazeem mechanic in Enugu biggest auto market don't even know what obd2 scanner means. Than there is a problem in that state.

kingreign:
He can never experience such!

I know him

how do one avoid that please explain in details.

Did you experience leg pulling off?

Okadarider:
Buy it, its just a basic scanner and it's good
That's what am using. got it at jumia for 8k +630 shipping.

lol it's now almost 12k. Can if be use when buying a car? I head someone saying it's just for engine and check engine light only

Is Google map really that accurate? Because it's showing km and hours.

Revolution2022:
No buy from jumia

why?

Kasdat5:
Where's the vehicle located ??

North

ospreywin:
Hit me up lemme do it for you at a discount

I don't need it now.

Kasdat5:
Good luck on your new ride . Looks lovely

my major problem no custom papers

nurey:
They may ask if the vehicle is clean and neat also if the plates are recent, less than 2 years old

I need advice should I go ahead to buy this car?

Adedaniel123:
It's a good bro. Believe you'll enjoy it

it look like baby boy. What year?

princejones:
How did you order it sir, l need one

it's on jumia or konga. But I ordered from konga

I ordered this obd2 scanner already and awaiting delivery. But another part of me is not so sure or clear if it will do the job.

remi4ever:
Happened just 2 days after I registered mine.

how much did you register Ur?

You see them running over 100 inside city. Ending to a junction stone throw away. Then the next thing is sudden break and slow down. It's foolishness to be away if a bump or bad spot. But still spend then with a sudden brake to pass the bumps.

Is that not badness?

Custom papers?

DUNKA:
Mr. Gbenga when am I getting the exit documents for my vehicle? You have suddenly stopped picking my calls nor responding to me on Whatsapp or text messages

did you finally sorted it out? Because I'm experiencing the same.

budaatum:
But not the monicker? What you hiding?

giving him evidence of doubts until tomorrow.

Post the nairalanders moniker if what you claim is true, and save others from falling for the scam you fell for.

uploaded the WhatsApp.

Driggs:
See your life.. you said 10k was too much.. you don see another person weyn go do am cheap.. now, your money don go.. sope otilo

this one is custom. Not vin check

There is a nairalander here who told me that he can check car custom duty report via VIN.

He requested for fees. But since I sent the money in the morning I haven't heard from him. He stop responding to chats.

TPound:
I'm not the owner...but as a car dealer, I use them often when I want to verify the authenticity of a vehicle I feel is suspicious.
Been using them since 2017

I didn't pay again as it didn't clear to me where they source there data from.

How would they know if a vehicle was stolen? That was my thought exactly.

Do a Custom Duty Verification

For Retrieval Of Lost Custom Duty

how can I check? Only have the vin number ?

slimmoney:
if the seller is sure the car duty was fully paid, u guys can drive down to custom office pay them some agreed fee which is not up to 50k and the paper will be retrieved via the car vin or chasis num.

why are you going to pay again if the duty was initially paid and it's in the system.

Currently in a dilemma to purchase 2003 accord. Seller claim there is no custom papers.

I'm in between cross road.

nurey:
They may ask if the vehicle is clean and neat also if the plates are recent, less than 2 years old

it looks like I will abort mission. We have really gone far in this deal. Chai

nurey:
From the documents you shall know

Verify that the plate no match the model and color from the link
https://nvis.frsc.gov.ng/VehicleManagement/VerifyPlateNo

Also ensure you get a copy of the ID of seller

I’m going to federal road safety tomorrow. They sent me the vin and plate number. So i will very rhat before going. The latest now as i was discussing with the guy is that he doesn’t have custom papers. Does custom ask papers for 2003 accord?

Driggs:
