Car Talk / The 2006 Mercedes Benz E-350: To Buy Or Not To Buy... by freezy(m): 5:46pm On Sep 12, 2012 |
I recently lost my 2007 Honda Accord (Borrowed a friend whilst I was outta town and he said armed robbers collected the car @ gunpoint bal bla bla) and I am on the verge of getting another car. However, the machine that has been on my mind is the 2006 Mercedes Benz E-350. Looking at the cars the dealers in America put up for sale I must say I am impressed with the cars appearance and performace reviews. Further reviews I read however indicated that this car has a lot of electrical problem which takes weeks to resolve at times. The cost of maintenance also is kinda high with spark plugs (set of 6) alone going as high as 450 USD (NGN 72,000). Some even advised I get the VMI (Vehicle maintenance inquiry) document before comitting to buying any of these guys (E-350). I really do not mind maintenance costs, but I'd if the car is prone to such faults especially as it shall be doing a lot of mileage on Naija roads. So, professionals in the house, y'all that have dealt with this car one way or the other. . . Please, what is your take on this? Is the car a good buy or am I setting myself up for plenty of worries ahead? Would you advise I go ahead or would it be wise to change lanes? Thanks. |

The manner with which Nigeria is being run under Goodluck's government will make a dead man want to come back to life, contest, win and put some sanity into Nigeria. Goodluck is a mistake. He had no business at Aso Rock if you ask me. We shall all make our decisions come 2015. Until then. . . |

Going by his antecedents, I don't have any doubt in me that Mr Lamorde is going to be the worst EFCC chair ever. A product of the Nigerian Police can never be trusted. By the time Jona is through with this tenure, Naija would have been set back like 200 years, oloun. |

Wallie: Is the concession country Nigerian? Maybe they do not have the pedigree to handle such projects yet. Japan has been known to grant home loans as much as 40 years and there has been tal of loans that go as much as a hundred years. Errr, what is the average tenure of Morgages in the UK these days? Well, a school of thought says those are morgages anyway In granting loans, the higher the risk, the shorter the tenure. African countries are high risk, thus the short tenure. |
Business / Re: Hundreds Of Light Rail Trains Left Canada For Lagos by freezy(m): 3:48pm On Sep 29, 2011 |
Wallie: My boss does just that and one day, I should, God willing. C'mon, don't be such a bore. . . I understood you metaphor and you ought to have seen that I was just being a cynic. Of course, if you could get the cost of rail cars, you'd sure have the capacity to get the cost of an aircraft. Since this is a public forum, we all are entitled to our opinions. Mine is, with proper planning, nothing stops us from buying new cars. Are you aware that government funding helped MARTA complete the rail project? In proper environments, such projects are not done in isolation but alas, this is Naija. I believe in tackling issues in a wholistic view. Without proper planning (which include mitigating every form of corrupt practice), new or old rail cars will never come to light. If the stupendous resources this country has is not being shared by a few, buying new rail cars will be the least of our problems. I'm sure manufacturing companies will give it out and tell us to pay at our convenience. . . A business contnuity plan for them. |
Business / Re: Hundreds Of Light Rail Trains Left Canada For Lagos by freezy(m): 3:12pm On Sep 29, 2011 |
@ Wallie. My apologies. I take it back. No. I am not laying blame. I said with proper planning, brand new cars can be bought without much ado. If the private guys are coming up with the funds for purchase of the cars, why not mandate them to buy new ones and be given a consession for a longer amount of time? The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transport Authority (MARTA www.itsmarta.com) refurbished each train car in 2009 at a cost of about $250k. However, those cars will do a maximum of 15 active years, with a lot more maintenance than new ones will ever require. As per links to cost for an aircraft, simply type cost of an airbus on www.google.com search and you'll see them costs. My car? Lets not go there. There is no need to show off. I'll just say God has been kind to me concerning that aspect |

kulutempa: Mediocrity. At its peak. Learn not to settle for second best. Always settle for the best. Note that I am not complaining. I am putting that here for record purposes. I only said we could have done much better. Refurbished trains according to research have a lifespan of about 15 years. New ones do have more than 50. |

Wallie:^^^ Arrant nonsense. A single Tokunbo Airbus costs as much $100m. Some single individuals have no qualms in aquiring large number of such machines with the intention of owning an airline. Some already do. Some are about to. And who on earth says the payments for such are to be made at a single go? The cost of the attendant infrastructure is the same, either new or Tokunbo. Why not buy new cars? Proper arrangements with manufacturing companies wil make BRAND NEW TRAINS available in no time. You buy in Canada, refurbish in USA and Ship into Naija. I'll keep this figures and we'll compare to figures declared spent when operations begin. If resources are properly allocated for the past God know how many years of misappropriation, we'd have more than enough to buy new trains all over again. While I am not running down Governor Fashola's attempts, Tokunbo train cars are not our Uhuru. The old saying goes. . . "Anything worth doing AT ALL is worth doing well". We are so used to being troden over that we have begun celebrating forms of mediocrity. |

Investment / Re: Shareholders Of Oceanic Bank Approve ETI Acquisition by freezy(m): 4:05pm On Sep 28, 2011 |
Unfortunately, stuff like assets, share capital, paid up capital, etc have been clearly defined. SLS' "bull in a chinashop" approach is responsible for all this. There is definitely a much better way of managing arising situations such as this without allowing the stock market to plummet the way it did. |
