Don't mind the fool. Looks like we got a lot in common bro. We both don't like Camrys and Corollas. We're both into tech, and we're both looking to buy our first car. Let's connect, I'd like to find out which car you ended up buying, and how it's treating you so far. Zero seven zero three three seven five zero six seven three. Cheers!

Olayetan:


What are you looking at
SUV or saloon car?

Alejobs:



Where una dey see these money


What is your taste like? Do you wear designer shoes and belt or are you on a low key like they legit Igbo men hustling the street?

Your car is just like the cloth you wear sometimes....driving a 2003 corrolla may cost you a multi million naira contract because they may fail to believe in your ability due to how you appear. By the way, i sell external battery for Laptop, recommend me to your friends and brother. Thanks

Lightway:


Corolla and Camry are the cheapest and easiest to maintain.. why do you hate them

yesloaded:

Corolla would have been better but you already stated you don't like it. Nothing too special about Corolla anyway just that it can endure abuse

If you wouldn't mind, you can go for Lexus ES series

330 or 350 should be fine

If you get a good one. Don't hesitate. It's a great ride!

So I have been driving this car for 1 year now. Engine light was on when I bought it tokunbo February last year but I felt it was something I can easily fix since I know what the problem is.

Now fast forward to 1 year later, the check engine light is still on and over the last 12 months, I have done everything humanly possible to remove the course of this issue which is the warning displaced on my vehicle message screen... CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM!
When I remove the battery heads, the check emission system warning disappears and the check engine light goes off but as soon as I turn off the engine and start the vehicle again. Both of them come back starting with the check emission system!

At first when I started trying, i was changing little things like filter, then I connected the pipes properly and all but no luck then I decided to change the entire filter box. Also asked a mechanic to clean somethings and many other things I tried!

Over the 1 year period, the car drives great. No stall, drips water when I start it in the morning and sounds wonderful but seeing that check engine light and the check emission system message every morning gives me sadness. I ran a scan a few times and it always come up with nothing. Recently I had to drive 2 hours to a technician I was told has a very expensive scanner that can detect almost any fault. He did a scan for me and said I should change my o2 sensors. I was happy, thinking the end has finally come to this problem so I bought all 3 o2 sensors attached to the front, back and exhaust!
We changed them, but lo and behold.... Check engine! Check emission system! I give up!

I even tested my catalytic converter to be sure it's okay and it's all fine! I bought this car with a very low mile age of 49k and I'm shocked that this issue will persist for this long.

You know what! I'm putting a bounty on its head. If you can fix this CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM in this car, I'll give you 50k extra. Apart from the price of the things you'll buy oo.

Kelvin30286063:
I don't like to talk to much about speed when assessing a car cuz I know speed kills but it has to get to a point where you just have to say how you feel about something that you think is exceptionally brilliant.

I bought my Acura TL 2012 about 7 months ago, even though I did a lot of research before finally dropping the money, I didn't expect that I'll enjoy this much peace of mind and joy when driving this machine.

Apart from all the amazing features that comes with TL 2012, The most fascinating to me is the sport mode coupled with the manual shift gears that is carefully placed in the steering area.

God that thing is bae! I don't even bother if a car is trying to drag race me anymore, I just let them go cuz I know if I want to, all I need to do is switch to sport mode and engage my manual gears!

I don't know how Acura did it and how they made it so perfect but they sure did it! I'm sure everybody that drives that car will testify to this too.

Now this brings me to the question I have. ARE THERE NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO USING THIS MANUAL GEARS?

If you also drive this car and you have more experience with it. I'd like to know what you think.

As for stuffs to look out for, hmmmnnnn, I’m not a car guru sha

*History
*General cleanliness (interior, exterior, engine, mechanical parts)
*Mileage (a high mileage car isn’t too advisable)
*check electronics to see if they’re all functional

The car’s history, a mechanic and ur preferences are enough to help in buying a toks car

But a naija used, you need Jesus himself
Lol

9icetoo:

Why compare spare parts prices of acura and Lexus when your choice is between acura TL and mercedes c300?

DAVE5:


When buying cars in Nigeria, what I check is availability of skilled mechanic that are relatively pocket friendly, that being said, I’m tilted towards the c300 cos I use it and it’s been great and I would definitely get another Benz as my next car, it gives me everything I need in a car, in you stay in Lagos, Clegg street, Ojuelegba has you covered on all Benz related matter

The Acura is good too, a friend uses the mdx, driven it once or twice and it handled very fine too

Me: I’ll pick the c300 over the TL everyday all day, I’m not a Benz or nothing gang member

id4sho:

Hope it's direct Belgium, Naija mechanically abused one will make you regret your decision. it's a luxury car and parts don't come cheap, the engine power no be here.
I guess u r a speed freak

legacystore:
2012 rav 4
Any corolla or camry it can afford

DAVE5:
So far it is tokumbo, it is a good buy in my books if you take good care of it, you should also check it’s history and carry a trusted and reliable mechanic along in the whole process.

But if nah Nigerian used, run very far away ohh
We Nigerians lack proper maintenance culture

Aaaaarghmed:
yes it is

Kiddyong123ayo:
Hi

I need expert advices on the steps I need to take to start this car business.

Its not a new thing, people buy accident cars from the USA, UK, Germany etc, import them and fix, then resell at a killer rate.

It's a goldmine and people are into it already, I intend going into it. But I have questions

1. How do I get the Salvaged cars at the lowest prices. Auctions or Car shows.

2. How much will it cost to import them.

3. What is the estimated costs to fix? Is it running into millions?

4. Can a normal average mechanic workshop do the needed justice, and make the cars come out great.

5. After the car has been fixed, best way of marketing and getting a buyer ASAP.

6. For those of you in the business already. Please don't deceive me is it Profitable?

nurey:


I am part of the cartels here and I can tell you we make around half of the cost we bill on a car if we sell 2m, just know our profit is close or exactly a million naira, after removing expenses.

I would have showed you the way because we have 2 spots for new partners but you are not humble enough

I wish you goodluck in your startup

People of God, as predicted, Sprint has raced from yesterday's closing price of $4.80 to $8.35 as I type this.
A handsome 73.96% in one day.
This US market is the next sweetest thing after Nigerian jollof.

RaphaellaDD:
I was too scared to take risks and missed out on a lot of opportunities. I left my investment capital in a money market fund earning 5% p.a.. Imagine!

But I received sense in July and diversified: US stocks (mostly blue chip), real estate and a fixed income fund.

I also missed out on a particular company, palintir, found them when their stocks were about $8 but I didn't buy and they've more than doubled.

Next year, I'm focusing on increasing my knowledge about companies, how they're valued, sticks, etc. Venture capitalism is calling my name but I need to start getting the knowledge now.

Las las it was a good year investment wise, these last 6 months made up for the losses (due to inflation) of the first half of the year.

onyiloxy:
Personally, I am not really a risk-taker when it comes to investment especially when I am growing my money, I learned it not the best way of growing your money.
However, there are online businesses that pay really well like Search Engine Evaluator. I worked for them last year between January to April and I made over $1,000.

I have heard a lot about forex trading but I just don't trust the system or people handling it. I cant invest in something I don't fully understand how it works or something someone has to trade on my behalf. That doesn't add up for me

Samconcepts:


Sorry for the late response. I hope have a friend or relative in US. Or at least someone you can trust very well. The first step is searching and buying the car, then shipping. These two can be handled by your US based trusted person. When the car arrives Lagos port, you now go about the clearing process yourself.
