Autos › Re: N1,200,000 or Less Tokunbo Cars by Itsrm(m):
Fogman:
I disagree with you sir, rather the price of older cars will shoot up, i don't see them dieing soon. The price difference between 2004 and 2013 vehicles is way more than $2000. For example a 2004 Camry cost around $1500 and 2013 cost way above $3500. Same applies to other vehicles. Rx330 sells around $3000 and Rx350 2013 model is over $90000. Highlander 2004 sells around $2500 and 2013 is over $9000.
I said sometimes and I wasn't referring to all cars.

What is the price difference between a 2003 honda accord and a 2012 Accord or the difference between a 2003 corolla and a 2012 corolla?

How about a 2003 camry and a 2011 camry what's the price difference?

the duty alone for cars below 2013 is 900k+ which means u will pay same duty for 2000 and 2013 model. The best bet now is to buy latest car and enjoy same duty rate with buying a 2003 Camry or Corolla and a 2013 Toyota Camry
That was why I said in another thread that the gradual end of some of the cars on our roads has come. Sometimes, the cost price between a 2003 model and a 2012 model car can be less than $2000

What's the point wasting money to buy an older car

I had to look up their phone no online because it's nice and refreshing to see someone like you seek guidance.

I strongly suggest you visit them since you are in Lagos also.

Wike is gone. Once his hand comot that purse string you think anyone will have his time? Wike is that rich arsehole manager whose phone stops ringing after his last day at the office.
Except that he's putting his stooge in office. Wike will become the Tinubu of Lagos

Lots people blaming Tambuwal for Wike's loss. I wonder what makes them think Tambuwal would've gotten up to 130+ votes assuming he didn't step down for Atiku. With or without Tambuwal stepping down, Atiku would've still floored Wike although the margin might have been smaller.
Saraki had 70 votes. How many do you think Tambuwal who had more than double of Sarakis vote in 2019 would have had.

There's also the psychological effect on delegates who were yet to fully make up their minds.

What do you use in defending a player when things are not put into consideration. We are all been subjective in this discussion, no objectivity hence the argument. If you don’t agree Neymar playing alongside messi in la liga with attacking play or playing in a farmer’s league helped his statistics against Hazard that played under defensive coaches in epl with inferior players compared to barca, then I will give you the evidence which is in Hazard’s number of man of the match after messi and Ronaldo, in order words, he was mostly man of the match for Chelsea. So you see.
Fair enough

I've considered removing mine before.

Eventually it gets blocked and becomes useless so why not remove to sell when it's still working and you can make good money from it.

Hazard is ahead of him in number of man of the match, in order words, Hazard has higher performances than Neymar.

Hazard was the eye of chelsea for years, dominated league 1 with Lille unlike Neymar that play for star studded team and has been carried since he came to Europe, first Messi at barca and then mbappe at psg. Whereas, Hazard has Carrie two teams to glory according to their capacity as at then.
What is this hensben?

If this is all you have to defend a player you should know its time to stop defending the player

If only more Nigerians were like you bro, the place go better. But for now we are just enjoying the clown show because we are no longer shocked or surprised. The same thing happened in 2018 primaries with Atiku, Kwankwaso and Saraki outbidding each other, with Atiku going up to $9k. And Peter Obi who witnessed it all still agreed to be his vice. I put it to you that Peter Obi quit not because of dollarisation (he long expected and normalised such behaviour), but because he was informed that Atiku won't consider him as vice. He is one of them, like every other major party politician, and he only entered the race to prove his popularity in order to be considered for vice.
I already said it that PO tries too hard to portray himself as a saint to the public. It is the hallmark of terrible people.

If you're a saint, you don't need to tell anyone. We have eyes and can see ourselves.

Remember That my insane theory about Tinubu and Wike some days ago

Someone wrote about it

https://www.nairaland.com/7153564/wike-back-tinubu-2023-presidency
While you can't trust politicians 100%, this is almost impossible and is the difference between Wike and several other politicians.

With him you know where he stands. I have never seen him say one thing in public and go back to do another like how Peter Obi claims to be saint in public and is opening offshore accounts behind the scene.

Anybody can put out any conspiracy theory. What we know and have heard the man talk about is his unflinching support and loyalty to the PDP. Going by his antecedents, I have no reasons to doubt him.

What if at one point in the car owners possession, these things failed and were replaced or repaired with genuine brand new OEM or higher quality aftermarket parts?

Ever heard of Dealership maintained cars?
A car has over 30,000 parts and about 1800 large parts. How many of them would the previous owners have replaced? There are enough things to break in high mileage cars

Lower mileage doesn't guarantee better reliability. That mileage is a bit high, though, and you'd probably be better off with something having less miles on it than. Unless, of course, you have evidence that this car has been well-maintained.
Agreed. Neither does high mileage. Chances of having better reliability is higher with low mileage vehicles.

Maintenance or no maintenance, high mileage is when you start having issues with failing door actuators, windows not rolling down or not coming up after rolling down, and plenty other little things that add up.

I’m sorry I don’t understand somethings in Nigeria . You quoted the first door as 250k Turkish door . I also bought something similar just this Friday at abayomi iwo road in ibadan and it’s Turkish door made by Anotec . I got it for 160k. How come this prices are way ridiculous or are you online vendors ripping people off ?
Look at what he posted and what you posted. Do they look the same to you?

Some people sha.

Same people making noise about never buying high mileage vehicles will walk into a car stand and tell a dealer that his low mileage accident free 08 ES350 is too expensive at N5.5m because his neighbour has a similar car on sale for N4.5m.

Same people will eventually buy an accidented or privately sold problematic (usually transmission or engine) vehicle and be visiting one mechanic or the other after a few months or get stuck at ore on the cars first trip out of Lagos.

Maintenance is key!!!

My car is 201xxx and was bought with 173xxx.
It's still going strong.

Don't expect low mileage on an old car.
In this case the OPs car is below average mileage expected.

These cars can easily do 300k+ if maintained properly.

The average Nigerian barely covers 5000 miles in a year.

At that rate it will take the OP about ten years to get to 300k miles.

He would have got his money's worth from the car.

Car has been bought already OP, so enjoy your ride.

Don't allow negative people dampen your joy.

Cheers.
Any car can do 1m miles if you have enough money to spend on it.

What we are talking about is the cost of ownership. You bought your vehicle at 173k miles and is now at 201k miles. How much have you spent to keep it on the road compared to someone who bought his at 73k miles and is now at 101k miles. That is the point you're missing.



Granted you would have gotten yours cheaper than he got his but how about the cost of downtime while the vehicle is sitting at the mechanic workshop for repairs.

It's even funny how people who know better forced you to buy a car with 173k miles and you're here still arguing the obvious.

There are several well maintained 18 year old cars on auction still below 150k miles with decent prices. Why are we not advising the OP to get them? He must not use a highlander if he can't afford the cost of getting one with reasonable mileage.

To keep this thread alive, I will advice andman to post cars with shipping and purchase fees alone while intending buyers do the clearing.

Just my suggestion
I don't think it's just about the clearing fees.

My wild theory is that it was a stop gap for him. He has something better going on for him and when he looks at the stress, dollar rate, clearing and his profit margin, he has realised its no longer worth his time

Again, just my wild theory

Unfortunately some information I give might be of no use to you either because you don't have a car/ car problem yet or you just love vawulence.
The information worked for at least one individual who got a refund and will help others know how the industry should work with better informed owners.

Imagine if you bring your car to a shop because it loses power and struggles to move.
They scan it and see multiple misfire code you only had 2 out of 4 cylinders working.
Replaced bad plugs car drove better when it was tested . Now you take it home it completes a test cycle, misfire comes back, now it is caused by worn cam lobes and loss of compression in a cylinder.
Owner will say the car is worse but the car just show there is bigger peoblem
If they will not detect this when diagnosing then why not just take it to a Kazeem. Wetin con be the difference

Thank you. The guy just throw abuse from nowhere all because i expressed my informed opinion on something i know well. In the last 8 years, ive changed cars 6 times. The higher the mileage the harder it is to sell. 242k miles i wont even click on the link.
At the back of their minds they all know the truth. Give them a 60k and a 240k mile car and ask them to pick one.

Like RSSDA like PRESSID. Goodluck Jonathan was to blame for this. May be someone has to remind you people but Jonathan started holding back federal allocation from Rivers state in Amaechi's second term after they fell out. It was that allocation that Buhari returned to Wike during Wike's first term.
Or it was never a priority. The same Ameachi had enough to fund elections in 2015

Security in rivers state is still poor and terrible, especially that Eche axis.

The only things Wike has done are road and flyover, and he did this at the expense of some Igbo businessmen in Ikoku, rendering them useless with demolition.
Security is still poor in rivers state and this is based on Etche. You're by this actually confirming what I just said.

There is no where in the world without pockets of insecurity.

What any government can do is reduce it to the barest minimum which is what Wike has done.
