AutosRe: Let's Discuss USED Vehicles by HOTARIO(m): 4:22pm On Aug 21, 2022
Nice thread. Let me add the Mitsubishi Pajero to the list and its interestingly the most affordable to scoop up, while holding up nicely. It's an underrated champion and a solid work horse with nice manners and street credibility.

I did a leather replacement job with a guy at Ilasan but I'd score it 70%. He said it was because he had to rush to meet my timeline especially for the front seats (3 days). Leather selected was good, beige colour was near perfect match but the stitch could be better. Some noticeable folds at some edges. Perhaps if I had more time I could have supervised him to get what I want.

On IG, there is @lagoscarfix. I haven't tried them though. You can speak with them and see if they can meet your needs.

There are also some threads here in the Auto section you can look up. Please share feedback when job is done.

Good luck

There may be a peculiar reason for that. Price, condition, specs, etc. From reviews and experience shared by some owners I know I do not think the Pajero will be classed as fragile. But of course no vehicle should be abused or I'll maintained. Repairs will dip holes in pockets.
Car TalkRe: The PAJERO Club by HOTARIO(op): 8:39pm On Apr 14, 2021
Hello Pajero lovers, trust you are having a pleasant relationship with your car?

For the benefits of members or owners who may be dealing with some maintenance issues, can we share recommendations of technicians/garages in cities across the country which offer reliable services. Also, parts supply plugs.

For parts- I know De Great Frank Global Services. Stocks new parts and upgrade body kits. Location is popular Ladipo market at Mushin.

Ideas are welcome.

199bhp, very lethargic power.
For something that's 2.1ton full sized 4x4 truck, it's awful.
I understand from that perspective. My 2007 Acura MDX packs 300bhp and always a pleasure taking off from green lights. But the drive and feel of the Pajero though not as spunk as other cars, pulls through nicely, especially as many Lagos roads have become off road terrains. �

Car TalkThe PAJERO Club by HOTARIO(op):
Do you own a Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun, especially from 2007 upwards? Let's connect here to discuss experience, shared thoughts, Mods, maintenance, parts supply/availability, technical support, etc.

I have been an Acura MDX lover (2007 MDX Tech/Ent/Sports package) from 05/2015 to date. Recently found affection for the Pajero/Shogun full size SUV and got a deal on a 2010 model, black on black. My MDX is also 7 seater black on black�

2010 Pajero, one owner from new. 103KM on Odo.

Issues at purchase:
Minimal. Light scratches and cracks in leather seats edges.
One weak ignition coil (No. 5)
One missing fog light chrome
Worn steering wheel leather
Few scuffs and scratches on body and fender. No dents
Faulty brake switches
Broken key fob

Works done
Leather repair cream. Small touch fixed leather seats
Ignition coil 5 changed
Fog light chrome fixed
Steering wheel cover installed
Full paint refresh. Oven job
Brake switch replaced
Key fob replaced
General service/Oil change (Total Quartz 7000).
Brand new Bridgestone tyres 265/65R17

Mods done
Led headlights low& full beam installed
Led fog light installed
Android entertainment head unit installed
Rear camera installed

Driving experience?

Awesome. Wifey & the kids have left Acura MDX for me. They are fully on Pajero �.

One bummer though:
Floor under driver side gets hotter than normal especially in heavy traffic. Research on forums finger the Cat Converter. Some people said they fixed theirs by removing the Cat (I'm not sure yet). Will update on this fix.

Overall, I'm loving the Mitsubishi Pajero and looks like it's a keeper for the long haul.

If you find a good Pajero from 2007 upwards go for it. That truck is loyal.

Tomilola360:
What year really? That's a No No. Ask those who use it.
Facts: I used a 2003 MDX for 2 years. I currently own (as a daily driver) a 2007 MDX, which I have owned since 2015. It's up for sale now and guess what's No. 1 on my replacement list? A 2007-2012 MDX, pending when the price of 2014 upwards will come down. Not everyone is Toyota Highander/Venza fan.

OP, what you want in a car should determine which car you settle for within your budget. But by all means by a good one and not a packaged one.

Do not forget that the MDX is a luxury vehicle and is designed so. Not an economy car. For me, 3.7liter engine churning out 300hp, seven seater premium leather and high grade acoustic system and solid looks, makes the MDX a favourite, again, for ME.

Point to note: Reselling can pose a small challenge because the used car market favours Toyota/Lexus brands above any other brand.

Car TalkRe: Advice Needed On Acura MDX 2008 by HOTARIO(m): 10:16pm On Jun 09, 2019
I have owned the 2007 MDX (Sport/Ent/Tech) spec since May 2015. Great car.

Fuel economy is a relative issue. Engine is bigger than most v6 all wheel drives at 3.7l (current models have been dropped to 3.5l), and review at release puts it ahead of cars in its class (eg. BMW X5) in fuel economy (www.edmunds.com). If you are moving up from a 4 cylinder engine then you may need some time to adjust.

If all is well with the particular car you are buying then you will be fine.

When you have maintenance apart from very basic oil change, make out time to go to Oyingbo and find Muri's yard.

That said, I'm definitely getting another Acura MDX when I let this one go.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Spends N14,000 Daily To Feed Each Prisoner- Minister by HOTARIO(m): 9:53am On Mar 05, 2018
Ewelesuo:
Since the writer of such a mischievous  story has shown
that he does not understand simple arithmetic let alone
getting his facts together before going public,  I have
decided to educate him a little on the subject matter.

In last year's budget, the sum of N450 was appropriated for
each prison inmate per day; this includes N150 for gas! And
there are 65, 000 inmates nationwide.

Now, if you multiply N450 by 65, 000 you will get N29, 250,
000 as the total amount consumed by prisoners everyday. So,
to get the yearly cost, you multiply N29, 250, 000 by 365
which is the number of days we have in a year. Now, if you
do this, you will get N10, 676, 250, 000 being the annual
amount spent on prisoners.

The Minister also said that government cannot sustain this
huge amount spent on feeding prisoners alone. Hence, the
Ministry is looking at other options such as the reviving of
the  moribund prison farms which he ordered their reopening
last year!
Bro, the sad thing is that the current generation of Nigerians don't read. They are more concerned about the fun of mud slinging, shades, clapbacks and negative vibes hence don't expect anything constructive or objective. The blogs too are all about traffic and everyone now is a news peddler. Sadly even the so called main stream media are not left out in the rush for breaking news and traffic. When i hear people talk about giving youths a chance I laugh because the people in that bracket are unprepared.

Even on this forum, start an intelligent discussion that requires intellectual inputs and you are not likely to see traction. But start a discussion about celebrities, sex, how much someone is worth, or lavish spending and you will see traction.

Sometimes it's best to just watch because you go talk tire for this country.

Peace.

PoliticsRe: U.S Doesn’t See IPOB As Terrorist Organisation – Russell Brooks by HOTARIO(m): 11:36am On Sep 24, 2017
Rawani:
The headline is highly misleading and heavily mischievous.



The above is pretty obvious, the law that is in operation where IPOB carries out its terrorist activities is Nigerian Law so nobody expected that U.S. law would view them as terrorists, until they begin attacking U.S. Military convoys and innocent people in America and with stones, bottles and sticks, setting up bonfires on American public roads, burning down American police stations, disarming American soldiers at checkpoints and blocking American roads while searching for innocent people to attack inside buses, and threatening to burn the USA down and bring back the head of President Trump, like Kanu and IPOB did recently in Abia before they were declared terrorists.

IPOB are bloody terrorists under Nigerian Law, and under any law where they perform their terrorist activities.
well said. Most Nigerians especially the young people do not read. Even the headline is misleading. We just love the sensation and verbal attacks which add no value. My hope in the youths diminishes everyday.
