There are two things here.

1. A spare key (like the one you have) with a new code. You will need to take your car to these modern garages where the new key's code will be programmed into the car's ECU. Depending on the car, this can be quite complex and must not be tried by inexperienced persons. I have a friend who does it for VW, Audis, Skoda BMWs etc. Cost is anything from 5k to 50k to 80k

2. A copy of the key you have. Your working key is copied (outline and code) so it works with your car without any problem. I actually did this for my car. Set me back about 30K with what is called an electronic key. Theres a company on Olowu who represent SILCA (manfacturers for locks etc) They can do this for you. They are called CHILEX (If I remember correctly) and are located around the Mr Biggs (but on the opposite side of the road from them). Cost for this is about 30K

All the best

Generally red sign are urgent! As for your description, I cant make out what you could possible mean by tap-like?? Maybe a picture could help??

UPDATE 3

The next available RORO ship will be for the 26/27th of April. So now the waiting begins!!!

Okay o!! We are waiting for the shipping program!!

@Jenju,
This is really neat.

And I really like the colors too. Now when my daughter messes up the back seat while watching Powerpuff girls, it wont be a nightmare to clean!!

Oya, all you have to do is take another 100 photos of every nook and cranny and post to me my email

An another thing; you shouldn't be on the forum posting but talking with your forwarders to push this baby out to me as soon as possible.

Thanks again. Keep us posted!

UPDATE 2
Jenju was at the auctions yesterday and I am happy to say that he got me a Pathfinder LE with all the effizzy that can be imagined (The LE is the top of the range model ). Jenju will post a few pictures of the car here as well as give us the options the car has. Its maroon in color and I must say that Jenju broke everything down to me, giving me every detail of the purchase. Including his commission!! And I will say that I am satisfied. I will be sending Jenju about 30% of the difference on the payment of the car (meaning I would have paid 80% and finish up the payment as soon as we have a confirmation of the ETD of the car.

Watch out for the pictures from Jenju here.

@evergie

Anyway, the end of the matter is that if one has enough money one will have a nice car. And if one does not have enough money, one will say that "it is too expensive." IN which categorie are you??

And just so that you don't go and disgrace yourself outside, you will be doing yourself a favour if you check your spellings.

ofans:
@fotodaddy

im just wondering who the faceless person that hide behind the login name is?
you wont by any chance be refering to jenju
NO OFFENCE

wonder no more; one of the faceless persons is you know who!!!

And in case it hasnt clicked; YOU

@ofans and lungwun,

Why are you guys on my thread!!!!!! why dont you start you own. you may call it: keep of fotodaddy's threads!!!

If you have nothng to gain from this thread PLEASE dont read!!! There other genuine people out there who might gain something from this thread if you cant. Please dont even try to hijack this thread and turn it into something its not. My reasons for doing this were stated at the begining, even if you obviously ignored them. And all the whil;e, I amnot accountable to any of you. See me see trouble o!!!!

I am not a car dealer or some faceless person that hides behind a login name. Have a look at my profile. How I chose to sell or buy may cars is my business and while your intentions might be noble, you obviously have to work on your communication skills. neither viperman or inspire-m are my role models so dont expect me to copy their style. And if that, to you, means I am better then them, then thats your cup of tea

If I decide to open my affairs to the public on nairaland, that is my prerogative. If you would just look before you leap you will be more careful with your comments and insinuations.

Hello All,

A beg I get wan question wey dey trouble me. I know say this no be help line but a beg make una help me.

Ma question be: Why e be say when person dey advertise motor for here, dey try help out some other people, na so some other people wey no even get dough to buy credit go dey yab. Them go dey just yarn any how and mean while them no dey buy?? A beg people make una tell me.

A beg inspired_m make you know mind them. And remember say God pass them

@lungwun, shortwan!!! I dey get am??

I understand your opin. You see, if all your life you have been handed out a raw deal, and you always see the glass half empty, then you will have a warped view on life. And then you become the BLACK MAN wey dey talk say: If one person own no spoil, another person own no go better." Is that the case with you Awwww!!!

Anyway, a beg make you no take panadol for another person headache. And as they say, if you close your eye becos you no wan see bad thing, good thing go pass and you no go see am!!

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Na wah o!!!

I don dey talk this thing tire. But here goes again: The taste of the pie is in the eating.

All those who are talking about Japanese car I have this question for you: How many of you have driven european cars in general and German cars in Particular?? If you do, you will come to an understanding that words cannot convey. Case closed.

All those talking about economy; you guys are not yet in our century. Hello!!! This is 2008. All manufactures, American, European Japanese, Chinese etc make economic cars. We should only compare like with like. How can you compare the cost of running a 1980 504 with a 2006 Toyota Corrolla Or a 5.0 l truck from the states with you 2.0 l 1992 honda accord.

And for all those who have never driven a jeep; Dont make another post untill you do. Thats when you will know what the best car for our roads is.

And if you are still not sure after all that then try a bike

Hello All; UPDATE 1
Jenju must have called me no less than 5 times during the weekend. Just so that we work out every little detail. So far I can say that "customer service" is the bomb. I am so confortable that the car will be too. And from the looks of things there might even be the possibility to share a container with some other cars that he is working on. This is so much better that RORO as there are no risks of damage or theft.

Another thing. Jenju tells me that we are working towards getting the car within the next 2 weeks. Getting a bargain is not easy. Anywhere in the world.

Funny thing though; I am actually so uninvolved, as in here I have given out this much money to someone and I am so at peace with everything. I just guess that Jenju just exudes confidence, so there no need to get worried.

Well thats the update for today. Will keep you guys posted.

Sorry!! For now we are based out of Lagos.

Sorry but the only models we are offering are the IG3000, IG6000, KDE14STA and the KDE19STA3. These are the 3kva, 6kva, 14kva and 16kva respectively.

On these models we give a 1 year warranty and we have our own workshop and trained personel with large stock of spares. Products have already been proven by extensive tests and SONCAP. We have a units running alomost 40hours per week for 4 years now with nothing except timely servicing.

A beg no vex but no be Nissan Primera brother be this moto. And you never tell us the mileage!! How far

Gamine, you don come here again!!!

Its like you just love all things mechanical sha!! Well thats great!! To see a woman who like mechanical stuff.

Keep it up. Remeber what I told you, if you need specific info then ask me. There's also a very nice internet site www.howstuffworks.com you should check out.

Also if you like these things then you will flip over the RC model plance, helicopters trucks and cars. Just google them and see. Thats like the next level after a bike.

A beg, which kin man dey answer vanesa!!

ol boy I wouldnt want to be stuck on a deserted island with o!!!

I fear what will happen everytime a plane flies over head!!!

But is all good!! IAnd I guess you are right. Perhaps Seun can rename this the All things mechanical section!!! Cos bikers are here, right?? So why not plane freaks!! And before you now it I can start showing off with my RC heli and truck etc!!

Seun Take note!!!

We offer 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. And yes we have stock of spares and out technicians, who must be the ones carrying out repairs/maintenance for the warranty to be effective.

welome to the club gamine. You are now officially a biker girl.

The burn you have is called road rash and it will only go away with a skin graft. Sorry!! But I can tell you from experience, your trousers would not have helped much. And what I can tell you for sure is that you couldnt have been doing over 50km/h. I know of someone who fell at fell of at eighty and is dead.

Without protective gear, ever fall is a potential step to the grave.

However, the problem is not the bikes but we, who use them!!

So why should we ban them when people who use them are irresponsible or don't fully grasp whats at stake. Hello!!!!

Following the sale of the 2002 Pathfinder in the auction, I am going to chronicle here all I am doing to get another jeep.

I mentioned in another post that I wanted a 2005 look pathfinder and look around lagos and I can tell you that all the cars I saw were either over-priced (5.5 m in one case for a 60 mile repaired car) or were accidented.

I even went to Sun Motor who sell nissans and got the price for e new one 7.8 to 8.4 M

So I got in touch with some of the guys on the forum who claim to help get cars and all that.

If you want specific information of what transpired between me and the popular ones on nairaland you can mail me asking for this at oekanu@yahoo.com. But on the whole, I found out people who are looking for margins of between 30 and 50% on a car!!! HELLO

Anyway the long and short of it is that I just came in from Abuja where I met up with Jenju. I can tell you that I have sealed a deal with him for getting a low mileage (30K) Pathfinder (2006 on) for 25,000 USD, shipping included.

Jenju was completely open with me and at the end of the day I was more than happy to pay the 10% which his commission comes up to.

He has promised to give me the best deal with a fully loaded car (we will all see) and from our meet I can tell you that I am confident that he will.

I am paying all the mony for the car upfront and within the next 2 to 3 weeks I expect the car will be getting ready to ship.

Like I said I will post everything that happens here so that other poeple on this forum can understand how these things work and be in a better position to decide who to work with.
