eagleonearth: you're losing your respect by making puerile submissions
eagleonearth: oga I have that motor 2014 for 4.4M. I sold it for 3.250 last year
let me break it down for you since you are shifting to respect matter
2014 Toyota Camry.
Sold for ₦3,250,000
Let's assume you paid the right custom duty (still compromised)
Handling (USA) ₦235,000
Clearing ₦1,500,000
Shipping ₦470,000 (average )
Price of the car ₦X (in dollars )
Total ₦2,205,000 (excluding price of car)
These assumptions are minimum averages.
With your sale price at ₦3,250,000 car price is about ₦1,045,000 (2,200 dollars) it's either a badly salvaged car which will still need repairs (pushing the sale price further) or you picked it for free on the streets of the abroad for you to have made a profit.
I have made this journey more than once in 2019 and 2020 and I can tell you you ran at a big loss.
eagleonearth: desperate you said? No, made my gain and moved on. Lagos is like a wide sky for plenty birds. You don't wanna sell, your neighbour will sell.

I am ready for that debate sir. You sold the car at a loss, or you sold a badly damaged scrap that you put together .
nwaanambra1: i know somebody that bought this 2012 Camry in August 2020 - clean title full custom clearance and non converted. (i can even send you the VIN to confirm it) AND THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FOR N3.9 MILLION - COLOR GREY!
AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION - ATTEMPTED FRAUD IS AN OFFENSE WITH MINIMUM OF 3 YEAR JAIL TERM! GO ASK YOUR LAWYER!
dont always talk as if you know it all!
Has to be proven that she was not ready to help him pay the balance. Court matter is not black and white.
3.9 show me the custom duty. It must be under paid
sholarb: Hi Engineer, my 2010 accord is currently due for B14 service at 101K true miles. I have done everything recommended except the big three; timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment.
Question: How long can I defer these, if I do not want to carry out at this time? Also, what do u recommend?? Car has no history of abuse, I do try my best in terms of maintenance; M1 oil, type2 coolant, DW1, iridium spark plugs etc.
PS: Thanks once again for the M1 free delivery to Lekki 2weeks ago.
Your car that i know is a Honda with a 4clyinder engine and a timing chain .
prince088: He doesn't even know 2011 is different.... He basically opened himself up for fraud when he said even if its 2011 or 2012 for 3.8m. 2 totally different cars in body, shape and price.
Virgohills: Anyways that's how she blocked me on WhatsApp and the ife guy was saying that he knows nothing about it. That the lady called him out of the blues and told him a mechanic was coming to check a car for her. Bla bla bla bla..
I immediately refunded my client his money first as seen below
we are in 2021 not 2019. You and your client de find trouble
Virgohills: So it happened on the 22nd of January 2021.
I wanted to buy a Toyota camry 2013 for a client who already sent me some money to buy it at budget of 3.9m or 4m+ if seen. So I was in search of this car here and there. I checked all car platforms then I saw a red Camry 2012. I call the number (I had no true caller on my phone as at this time. We spoke briefly, said she will get back.
A woman later reached out to me saying we just spoke concerning the camry, that one has been sold. But I have another one at Berger. How much do you want you spend I said 3.8m even if its 011 or 012 its ok.
She said fine. Start heading for mile two. When you get there call ife 07039281760 he is my boy and he waiting for you at the office. I called. He told me to drop at UBA in Berger that he will pick me up. When I got to UBA i dropped called and he came. Then i followed him to see the car his madam said i should come and buy.
I saw the Camry it was super neat. I sent it to my client. He loved it. He just called said I should go ahead and buy it for him. I said okay.
Actually the car cost due to its grade is around 5.5million. But the person the phone who led me here the supposed madam of ife assured me not to worry that the car belongs to her and her husband and she has spoken with her husband that I can make payment to her and she will sort it out.
Meanwhile she already told the people there whom are the owners of the cars that I am just a mechanic that I came to help her confirm car and that she is the one pay. That they should let me test drive the car.
donuba61: Please help. My car ac efficiency always drop after like 20 minute of driving. The ac will first cool well at the initial stage but after like 20 minute, the cooling rate will drop. Please what could be responsible for this? Car is Honda civic 2008.
StubbornGENIUS: Hi.My Mum's Lexus 330 won't start unless you power it with another battery b4 switching back to her own battery.This usually happens if it's not driven for 3 days or more.I recently bought her a new battery during Xmas(thinking it was battery issue) and we thought the problem was fixed but it's now clear that it was because the car was used almost daily during the holidays.What could be the problem?
GAZZUZZ: Poor resale value , poor fuel economy. Weight of the engine makes the front suspension more prone to natural wear and tear.
Upside is it is never stolen
ZaddyJamal: Good morning oga Gazzuzz and thank you. So the basic reason why I want to get a car is for daily work drives from Ajah to VI and back and then occasionally travels from Lagos to the east (Anambra & Abia) maybe twice a year.
Is it possible for the V6 to serve this purpose optimally and a reasonable cost compared to the I4 in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption?
The I4 are always so expensive way above my budget whether Tokunbo or Naija used.
seyema: My car has difficult in selecting gear especially after driving for long hrs from gear 1 to 2. Filter washed, oil changed, still no improvement. Took it to another kazeem, he just unplug one wire located between master cylinder and injector and everything started working fine again at least 80% better.
Now I'm curious on what could be the function of that plug I've google everywhere and I cant find it
2001 Toyota camry
The device is called a TPS, throttle position sensor. It aids the transmission ecu interprete the throttle angle when throttle pedal is depressed. My advice is replace and recalibrate.
Currently your vehicle consumes more fuel as it is, and all gears change without kickdown
pharod: I'm having this reoccurring problem with my civic. Anytime I put on the AC, after a few minutes, the car will stop while in motion. If I switch off the AC, the car will continue moving without stopping. The alternator won't be charging the battery like it should. I've changed 3 alternators in the past 5months. I bought a new battery around June last year, I'm about to buy a new one again. I've changed the fuel pump. I've done basically everything the mechanic said I should do, but the problem still persists...
1. If I put on the AC, the car will stop after like 20 - 30mins 2. Something is killing the alternator and the subsequently, the battery.

Have a look at the harmonic balancer. Ignore the JB weld part.
FuckEveryday: Wahala for who no Sabi this thread o
So apparently my car ran out of Gas , after several checks if there's a leakage in the hose, everything seemed fine.
They sha filled the gas, AC started cooling, Drove to the airport to pickup someone, and back everything seems fine. To God Be the Glory
Original mechanic bill - 134k Total amount spent - 5500
Thanks @ Radautoworks, Gazzuzz, blackbishop DeeDee and co
You have a leak . If you lucky it is a slow leak, if you lucky it's from single point . refrigerant does not just run out. Meanwhile one of the dangers of what you just did is black death, pull a vacuum before recharging or next time you will be singing a different more expensive song.
DelTel: I have threads for salvage vehicles (feel free to check them pls).
That aside, people have different preferences; some people want and can afford Clean Title Vehicles not just 'clean' vehicle. Likewise some people want and can afford brand new vehicles.
The target discerning buyers are already contacting and buying, I have sold 2 of these vehicles in 48 hours. Do note the prices are as stated "asking".
