500k Isn't rich, please. Especially if you have a lot of responsibilities/mouths to feed.

Na average salary. Start earning it and you'll know how far.

Wow!

ashewoboy:
I'm serious. I'm about to make a decision.

Preshieben:

emmyluizzz:

GAZZUZZ:
There is no doubting the Ninth generation (E120, E130 ) Toyota Corolla is Nigeria's best selling vehicle, it is a car you will find on every street in the country.


It is rugged

It is easy fix

Easy to maintain

Excellent fuel economy

Excellent resale value after decades of use.



Sadly with the introduction of E-valuation (age restrictions) this very reliable vehicle will soon disappear from our lands as foreign used cars.

Currently a used 2006/7 goes for about ₦3.3-3.5m

In a few days prices will reach 3.6-3.7m (new tarrif)

I am just thinking out loud, our very own innoson could buy up patent and production lines for this discontinued vehicles and I am certain there is a ready market to absorb and possibly export to other African countries brand new units of this vehicle.

Just thinking out loud.

After what I experience a week ago, I will say nay to this suggestion. Brain box, glass buttons stolen.


God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

YorubaNiBaba:
May God continue to bless her
May God bless all Yoruba people

And Nigeria in general

This road is strategic and will be one of the most important road, not only for Lagos, but for Nigeria... because it will serve as major evacuation route for Dangote Refinery to Epe then to Lagos-Benin Expressway bypassing Lagos Metropolis.

Beautiful

Perfectnumber6:



No don't get Nigerian used ... Go for Direct Tokunbo better

Meticulously noted Boss, most Nigerian used are problem cars.

springLogistics:



They had less time! They will come back.

Before they do, pls sale this car for your peace of mind.

I had this similar experience. Sadly, I had just returned from hospital with wiffy around 2am.

Before 4pm, the same car was something else.

Far more worst is the fact that the brain box later installed did not matched the car, it was from one problem to the other.

One day, from the mechanic I took the car straight to road side car sellers. Collected what they can raise, put it my pocket and went home happily.

End of this type of corolla. Na so I take go to Honda brand that I detest for long o!

I don't like Honda before, but everything has changed now. I hope 2008 Accord will not be like Corolla soon?

Someone wanna sell 2009Volvo S60 Toks to me @2.3m.

slimmoney:
2006 - 2011 civic engine no pass 150k, and u fit pack am for lagos go sambisa still come back lagos, u go meet am exactly where u park am, so dear OP do u wonna switch or u wonna stick to d vandals magnet?

I am switching after complete replacement of the stolen parts, I replaced brain box today at 51k. Others will be replaced within the week.

Funny enough, there are five cars parked adjacent to my car. Only my car was vandalized.

BigTableShaker:

At first, I never want to say anything but the moment you mentioned Honda Accord!!!

Accord is a super car compared to that overrated toy cum Corolla.

Toyota Corolla sad-boys won't like my comment tho

I gonna buy Honda Accord 2008 upward. I won't mind it's ball joint issues. I will buy and stock enough ball joints

Perfectnumber6:


Yes it is but depends if you are buying tokunbo or Nigerian used.

I am considering Tokunbo, however, if I see a good Nigerian use (less than a year) I won't mind

NOETHNICITY:
Just be thanking God, you are very lucky. When they did this to me, they removed all four roller from doors, removed my battery, removed my brain box, removed my 2side mirrors, removed my back lights, stole two shoes from my booth(my car is like my house, that's where I keep my shoes and lots of other things)

I spent 210k replacing the parts stolen from the car. Them no tell me before I relocate within 2weeks out of that area

I have contacted an agent to search for good apartment for me, though my rent expires November 2022

Toktee:
I swear to my balls your mechanic have hand in this operation... the operation look much like it was done by someone with mechanical experience.


Is not easy to take out brain box just like that, also look the way the control on the driver side is removed.



Something like this happened to later I discover it's my mechanic that did it... I almost roast the ediot.. He replaced everything with Abeg you.

I am suspecting the mechanic that damaged my car engine. He was totally against the idea of involving police. Even the way he talks was suspicious. He promised to get the parts at cheaper price.
How did you find out that it was your mechanic that stole parts of your car

Perfectnumber6:



No. Na bro atleast you should have known that people have been observing you... At least if you own another car and you want to park outside let it be in a filling station give aboki Watch night. 100-300 naira your car is safe until the next morning.. Sorry for Your loss just sell off this car they vandalized my candid advice.

I want to buy 2008 Honda Accord, hope it's a safe car. Also, is it a good buy

tmoneyu:

Are u planning of selling it

Yes, but after replacing those parts. I replaced the brain box today. Others will be replaced within the week.

Perfectnumber6:
Can i ask @,Op where did you pack your car all night ?

I normally park on the road side since 2020

diportivo:

I don't frequent NL

revcompaty:


Then play along if possible

Exactly what I am currently doing

Ceeman18:


Engage him. Try to act loose and ingnorant so he would relax and expose himself, then you act more smart nd use other means to measure him up. You can then involve the police and point fingers at him

That's exactly what I am doing.


I want to switch to less popular car: which is better between 2008 Honda Accord and 2008 Volvo S60?

revcompaty:

Sorry for your loss.

Tell the guy you’re interested, let him bring ‘‘em or take you to where it can be bought for the 20k, once item is seen check for every possibility of it been those removed from your car.

I engaged him, he said he can get the brain box and switches at 20k. I was shocked.

Ceeman18:


Leave those rippers. Even street person wey wan give you tip no go gree again when em see say police is involved to avoid sabo..

Use street way. Align with those rough boys for ur area or ur street security. Use style do noise nd tell people around. Just make sure de gist go round your street or area. With this you'll hear something one day. Somebody must have seen that thief when em dey patrol around the car. Once hands start pointing. Then you can involve the police

I am suspecting one guy, he said he can get the brain box and glass switch at 20k

fineboynl:
Look very well. The break the last small glass at the side from there they gain access into the car. From that hole they open the back door and the rest was history.

I was surprised you didn't mention battery and radio. It looks like they didn't remove your battery and radio.

The theif is in the same street with you and probably an electrician.

Every night from 1am to 2am. They go about the street looking for car to vandalized. Especially cars that are pack in the dark.

Look like the person don't want load because he would have remove your 4 rims.

Jesus!

Are u serious?

Noted with appreciation

Mynd44:
If that car was insured, you would not be worried right now.

But now that this has happened, find a way to move the vehicle somewhere safe until you can fix it then insure it after fixing.

I did normal 5k car insurance (3rd party)
Oga, pls move this thread to FP, I need more contribution.

Thanks

Ceeman18:
So sad. Escalate the matter, Make noise and make sure everybody in your street is aware of what happened. With this someone might tip yyou of a suspected person or movement around that car while you were out.

Pls patronise us today for your power steering pump of all car models.

Should I invite the Police

GreatAdvice:
Driving a car in Nigeria is a luxury. As painful as this experience is, I will advise you to replace the parts or use public transportation for now.

That's it Sir. I am kinda stuck, I don't even know whether I can still go to work today. I am thinking of securing the car first.

KolaShangOne:
Sorry bro.

These guys are everywhere.

I hope you get a brain box that matches your car.

I sincerely hope so.
I am now planning to quit Corolla

So, someone can't drive Corolla with peace of mind?
