Tokunbo Parts are relatively cheap.

Strong car but requires a specialist.

Read up more on VAG and adaptation on Volkswagen vehicles

This car has no fan belt.

How does it drive without belts.

Yes the tyres were removed from the rim

I dropped the vehicle with him at 9am and picked up by 7pm.

This is what it looks like now.

Wish I had the before pix.

Thanks sir

Visited his shop today and had my alloys refurbished.

That guy is damn good though a bit pricey but the outcome was worth every penny.

Thanks once again.

Hello sir

Could you please assist with contact details of your alloys man.

Need to urgently refurbish some alloys

Thanks

Please it's a known fact that Honda has a lower sitting position than Toyota vehicles

As for parts not OEM the corolla is cheaper and easier to maintain.

The accord is a better build though with a nice sound system

The Camry has a delicate aluminium block engine

In summary due to the fact that all three vehicles are older than 12 years Op will be safer with the corolla in terms of maintenance as every Kazeem can handle this.

But if you want class then go with the accord

Kazeems do not have a lot of apprentice as much as in the past.

The apprentice are now wiser and will prefer to ride okada,play Baba Ijebu or sports bet than to change a brake pad or engine oil and then you pay them a miserable NGN 500.

I have come to understand, with Nigerians, when they cannot achieve something, they try to bring you down.
I am not responsible for your financial misfortune . . if I decide to pay a mechanic 4,000 GBP to change my pads; how is it your headache, fam? I was asked a question and I answered, kapish !!!
Gazzuzz charges about 10,000 for A/C diagnosis; a regular mechanic will charge maybe 2,000 while another would jump straight at changing parts without diagnosis . . . there is a reason he charges 10,000 . . and there is a reason why we pay . . .not because we have money to waste ( poor man's thinking ). The difference is in the taste; the taste . . . you know the rest

Please ignore this people.

Some Nigerians detest paying for quality service.

They don't even understand what the previous users of these vehicles spend on maintenance abroad.

If they were doing oil change for GBP1.00 or USD2.00 am sure there will be nothing like Tokunbo vehicles.

They prefer the one Kazeem will place mortar under car sump to change oil.�

Ideasgates or whatever you call your self.

Do you have a heart,soul or moral conscience or abi you dey think say you be sharp guy.

It's clear you are exhibiting Berger yard tendencies.

Chief do the right thing and stop beating around the bush.

Post VIN or just remain at Berger yard.

angels09:
It is high time you stopped your misguided and misoriented sermons. Stop trying to tacitly deflect the issues. I can see your direction...since your comrade in arms have failed.. you have been drafted to do the yeoman's job...guess what wimp? You have failed in this task... and no amount of grammar you blow here will change the fact that cars45 is a fraudulent organisation both online and offline. I strongly believe that you are on their payroll...yes you wimp!
Now do everyone here a favour deactivate your moniker or leave this thread. Who asked for your nonsense sympathy... you must be a megalomaniac or a schizophrenic patient... Who even gives a rat's portion what you think? Don't confuse nairaland with your family meeting... If you want to be taken seriously go and convoke your family meeting...if you can.

I suggest you stop all this insults and dragging peoples family into this.

Some of us are not kids and its heartbreaking because at this rate it is beginning to appear this forum is not a place for discussion with proper decorum but where peoples fathers, mothers and family members are being insulted.

If this is what you desire then it is an unfortunate situation on this cartalk forum.

Thanks for visiting Cars45.

what the Op is going through is what happens when you throw caution to the wind.

Not paying attention to disclaimers,terms and condition etc.

Our body too dey hot as naijas always over excited when making purchases.

I have visited one of their offices where they were struggling to get a 2013 Ranger Rover started.

I just dey laugh as i cant even buy bicycle from that place.

She will sure need more than a smart lawyer to win this case.

When you are ready to sell your vehicles you will post the VIN.

We hope you will be posting VIN of vehicles and not asking buyers to contact you for same.

Haba

Why do we like insulting ourselves on this forum which is rather unfortunate.

We are all entitled to our own opinion and views.It is immature to call forum members derogatory names and we won't gain anything from going down this route.

What everyone is doing is just to state their views here and expect people to understand their view point.

Op has stated a case of frauds without any evidence and we here are all fighting ourselves.Despite Cars 45 process of pasting known faults on vehicle.

We have had series of grievances levelled against auto parts sellers,car dealers and Auto repairers on this forum and Evidences were provided which made it easy for us all to align and resolve some of the cases.

Its unfair to call people fraud without evidences.We have seen videos been circulated on whatsapp attempting to destroy big brands.

Can we just respect our selves and stop the bullying online.

Please we Nigerians need to wake up so people stop taking advantage of our inability to follow instructions on vehicle maintenance

Example one takes a 2006 corolla or matrix to cars45.Car with a value of N1m is values at 450-600.Why won't they do so.

After using 20w-50 on same vehicle for 2 years you know expect it to be sold for N1m.Definitely not.

If am a buyer I will factor in the cost of a new engine into this.

Because a car drives well after using 20w-50 doesn't mean all is well.Its a matter of time before the grace period will be over.

Cars45 is taking advantage of our poor maintenance culture and spinning it into a money making venture.

To be fair there are a lot of Nigerians who maintain there cars properly but there are still a lot who don't which makes people generalise that all Nigerians have a poor culture at maintaining vehicles.

Exactly let the buyer post the report that was pasted on vehicle before purchase.

We are the cause of our problems.

Want to buy clean title 08 Camry for 2 million
Buy car pour Mobil Xhp engine oil.
Refuse to use coolant.
Tell Musa to gauge tyre to 45psi.
Buy 200 naira plug.
Remove thermostat.
Connect fine directly.

Now a company is hear to buy all this crap vehicles and pastes the known faults on them for intending buyers and everyone is screaming.

OP thanks for bringing this to our notice.
It’s a lesson to other prospective car buyers as vehicle purchase in Nigeria is no longer a child’s play and due diligence must be observed.

Autojosh has carried out investigative journalism though it appears to everyone you were paid for this. I have my reservations about this on how Cars45 a corporate organization could disclose to you a third party certain details concerning this deal.

Now was OP at any point provided with detailed report of mechanical issues car had at point of purchase as similar to what Denn provided above. If this wasn’t presented then this is termed mis-selling and the dealer must be held liable for this.

The driver also needs to be questioned because some drivers handle overheating situations poorly and also involving a bad mechanic will lead to sudden death of the engine.

It’s a 50-50 thing. Take the risk ship with color.
Truck might be cleared or seized. You don’t wanna toy with NCS.
OR
Change color, ship and clear your truck in peace.
My own opinion I will rather not tour Africa with a truck of such color due to the level of terrorism in some areas.

Kashif is right

There is no issue with your car.

I own a Toyota sienna 06 and these same symptoms manifests on my ride. When you slow down after light acceleration and listen to your engine the car goes into neutral. If you accelerate immediately car will rev but if you allow those 3 seconds pass gear will engage again.

Please note on top speed and aggressive driving you won’t notice any of these
