DoggoneDogg:when a car have slept days or severally at a mechanic workshop. The boot tend to be dirty with oil stain and all that. And mechanic tools |
Some time you don't need to tell anyone or invite a mechanic. And also most time we often forget to check all the thing we should have check. But when we list them down like this and check them one after the other with a good sign marker and failed sign marker we could make a good conclusion at the ends of the inspection. 1, Check engine compartment (ensure everything is intact and in the right place they should be. No wiring running up an down. Although this depends on your budget for the said car) 2, Check under the car for rust. (Ensure there are no rust and minimal discoloration underneath the car. Check the under side if the engine too) 3, Check the boot ( look for sign of dirt and oil stain in the compartment, as this are sign of abuse and problematic car especially if all the tools to repair car is there) 4, observe the interior and exterior (if there are any damage. And make sure they are minimal, also check sign of filler and repaint especially accident impact area like the bumpers) 5, Start the engine several times( note the engine should start at once not at many attempt.) 6, go near the exhaust (and check sign for smoke or smell. If there are smell of unburnt fuel or carbon odor) 7, check the sound of the engine ( if the engine is silent or unusual sound, also check for sign of jerking or engine vibration.) 8, check all the lights ( both headlight, inner light, traffigator and brake light, including dashboard for all the signs and signers if they are working correctly. And all this will determine your bargaining chip) 9, check the doors and handles ( if they open correctly and observe the sound they makes when you jam the doors) 10, VIN (do a Vin check for the car history) 11, Scanner (put in your scanner and check for error codes, the error that appear will also determine your bargaining chip ) 12, Papers ( check the paperwork, ensure they are original and authentic including custom clearance paper, if car is registered also verify plate number) 13, Check the Oil ( ensure the oil is not dirty, check for sign of contamination, it's a sign. Of abuse ) 14, Test run the car on highway ( observe the gear selection and for any unusual sound or noise, jerks and all that, make sure the engine has power and run smoothly) |

Itsrm:yes that why you take advantage of it and load it. |
I have a thing for hatchback cars and they are kind of expensive for a budget person who only need it for point A to point B. The Ford focus hatchback is something that currently caughts my attention because of its low profile and budget price both toks and Nigerian used. I am a tactical person who repair so many things. I service and r repair my generator myself. And if it comes to that if i can't find I good mechanic for repair I can be forced to repair my car myself if I have the tools to work it and parts available to me. I need from experience people about this Ford focus cars. |
Itsrm:see you haven't seen where 4 to 6 cars are loaded into container? It more cheaper that way for older cars. |
computersoft:mentioned his name here. And called him to this thread. |
computersoft:why don't you call the dealer and tell them the car braje down in warri? |
How much. |
Itsrm:when you buy from dealership store. You can return and change to another one. That's why it's advisable to buy toks from where they have options of another. Example, i do operate a boutique. People do return clothes. They will collect another one as a solution. If he can reach out to the dealership and collect another one. He will only need to add money. Instead of buying new engine. The car must be really cheap. Maybe 1.5m |
Buy budget toks |

seanfer:PH to Lagos is 450km |
computersoft:My only problem is how could the engine dried a whole 4 liters in less than 500km? That's my only worried oh. If it 0.5 liter that's understandable. I have a generator I bought brand new since two years ago. Right from when I bought it. It short oil. And I have been using it like that since then. Over two years still counting and I don't plan to sell it. The oil does not leak and Neither does it smoke. I really don't know where the oil keep disappearing to. The generator keep serving it purpose only that I keep toping oil from time to time it's just an additional cost because oil is costly right now. I make sure I check the gauge from after some time. You can still use that can for 2-3 years before you sell it. So that you don't lose that much. Just put an eye on the oil gauge and That all. |
computersoft:For the main time work with your mechanic to change the metal. Never bordered to drop the engine for now. You will regrets dropping that engine. The oil consumption is a common problem with that car. I'm not sure rings will fix that. You will need to be toping oil at some kilometers. If it's city driving you won't even feel it that much. |
computersoft:you didn't consult people here with experience before buying that car. You butter saved up to pay the Asian version of the engine. For the main time work with your mechanic to change the metal. Never bordered to drop the engine for now. You will regrets dropping that engine. The oil consumption is a common problem with that car. I'm not sure rings will fix that. |
computersoft:how did you manage to move it from warri to aba in that condition? |
seunny4lif:it was fixed. And not from a free fall. Just some way the naira is exchanging with the dollar. The parallel market is the koko |
