shipping is 4-6weeks, you ll get your car. be patient. Thus by end of july or early august. Changes to USA custom processes and documentations adds to delays, they have to confirm who is selling and buying. eg (this process has reduced the extent of stolen cars shipped /smuggled out of the states by cabals.... etc etc and many more benefits but more bottles necks. STAY CALM!
AutosRe: 2005 Mercedes Benz S500 Tokunbo (low Mileage) by FLAKARIBE(m): 9:41am On May 24, 2018
from vin you can always know year, "tenth digit" tells the year
example 1, Vin XXXXXXXXX" 4 " XXXX.. 4 is 2004.
(check vin you posted its "1" in the tenth place meaning 2001 and not to 2005. its not rocket science, you do not need to plug a scanner to know this if its actual vin)
NB!!, between 1990-2000 alphabet s was in use. 2000-2010 numbers in use. 2010 - 2020 alphabets again will be in use etc.
(changes every 10 years)

Read more from goggle.... I hope you are not confused the more. please read up.

Car TalkRe: I Mistakenly Bought A Non-drivable Car by FLAKARIBE(m): 9:50am On Sep 26, 2017
(1)Can be returned to auction, but you will definitely be fined. Your account can be terminated at most.
(2)if you are boxed up, you can buy a drivable small truck in addition that can haulage the car at the back, ship all and clear all. More expensive that way, but you can now sell the truck.
Good luck

robobo:
Hello Flakaribe

how about the 3.2L 2007 how is that compared to the 2.5L 2006
2006 2.5= cheaper running cost and good hands on @ladipo.
2007 3.2=fuel consumption is more, but remember also except engine size so many other things affect fuel consumption..but not as bad as people would say.
Why I prefer 08 3.2 and above, is that 07 3.2 was it's first intro, and usually if they are bugs/errors are worked on, corrected for subsequent models. But it, s OK too.
Still better msg than v8.
V8 I love, would def own one for travelling interstate...(men of underworld looking for who to chase and rob)
HealthRe: Half Of Married Couples In Akwa Ibom Are HIV Positive! - AKSACA by FLAKARIBE(m): 4:12pm On Aug 02, 2017
In my over 8 years of professional practice in the field of Medicine,
3 areas are peculiar :- PH, Calabar, Benue residence
Occupations exposed:- military, paramilitary, transporters, students, sex workers,
[peculiar areas X occupational exposure = likely hazard]

NB! More often than not, come back as HIV POSITIVE.
#likely hazard #FACT #The scourge is real
I can give so many case examples, but will not due to confidentiality.
He who has ears, let him hear......enough words for the wise

Your village peeps are at work. (smiles),
Sorry bro, let's know how you eventually had it soughted out for others to learn.
Car TalkRe: Highlander For Volvo XC 90 by FLAKARIBE(m): 3:27pm On Jul 18, 2017
2.5L 2006 is best, all bugs sorted out.
V8 is good, but thirsty
If you must do "v6", avoid the 2.9 matted to a 4 speed auto gear prone to trans failure, however the year 08 and above 3.2L engine you can do.

You only live Once, why not take a risk and enjoy life at its best...do not let the fear of the unknown limit your goals and objectives.

Stay blessed!
Car TalkRe: How Do I Know When A Car Battery Was Produced? by FLAKARIBE(m): 4:16am On Jun 18, 2017
4 battery
Go to JIMMS place at Olowu, ikeja. Buy your battery and have peace of mind. You get a monthly check up on alternator, battery and related components for 12 months. I get close to 4 years out of the battery.

AutosRe: Vulcanizers In Nigeria Are Killing People by FLAKARIBE(m): 11:11am On Mar 25, 2017
Air expansion, approximately 1psi/hour. So for a 5hours trip. Added up as seen below
32psi + 5psi =37psi
40psi + 5psi =45psi
50psi + 5psi =55psi
55psi + 5psi =60psi
Thus, the longer the per hour trip, the more the expansion.
Q: what is the max psi on a brand new tyre?
Q: what is the expiration date on tyres from date of manufacture? Approximately 4 years.
Q: what does the number "4016" mean on tyres? Date if production 40th week of year 2016.
So, Have your own personal tyre Guage, and recheck after a pump. You can also have a personal electric pump. Remember to rest if on a very long trip
Inside lag, I use 35psi.
Traveling outside Lagos I reduce to about 30psi,
Stay safe

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Job Offer As A Teacher In Federal College, Should I Take It Or Not? by FLAKARIBE(m): 10:39pm On Mar 21, 2017
Teaching and the need for cash to sustain one.
Back in the days as a medical student from oau ife, was able to get a teaching job at agbara, badagry . Lagos during a long strike that lasted one year. Took maths jss1. Extra lessons and home lessons... Am-pm, 7days of the week 2004/2005, saved 1/2 a million bro. Imagine... Took me a long way on resumption. I went in for short term. I know someone that started same, then after school lesson, jamb classes, now a full college /school....

Car TalkRe: Which Is The Best Cost Effective New Tyre? by FLAKARIBE(m): 7:41am On Mar 18, 2017
Still using my 4set of Wanli China tyres bought at obafemi awolowo way, ikj. Dec, 2017 will make it 4 years and bro, no issues. Car travels wella.
Before you buy, pls check year of manufacture eg 4217. Meaning wk 42 in year 2017.
Life span 4 years from manufacturers date
Max, psi 35 for me, as was educated. (A journey of an hour increase your psi by 1. Five hour trip 5psi, tyre max psi 44/45. So 35+5=40psi thus max not reached. Reason for a lot of blown tyres especially commercial buses and imagine if toks tyre not new.
Car TalkRe: Cotonou Car by FLAKARIBE(m): 10:06am On Feb 23, 2017
Risk vs any proposed advantage = +/-favorable outcome
The decision is yours..
How is it done?
Vehicle Vin is copied and taken to tin can for clearing.
Problems envisaged?
"arranged Bill of laden saying car was shipped into Lagos via sea ports",
"settlement of customs at border or smuggle car in and go for Lagos clearing"
Conclusion!
Would you want to risk so much...
Cash/ Car/ always afraid to travel in case customs see any irregularities and risk total loss.
