[quote author=Joy2Dwise! link=topic=288526.msg4259978#msg4259978 date=1248776358]1996 Toyota Carina E Wagon. Manual Trans. I don't know if its 2.0 or 1.8. Tried running a carfax report but it did not work cause its an European specs, Manufactured in Australia. Bought 56 liters on June 1, It covered 537 km (city and highway) = 22 MPG. Bought 54 liters on July 9th, it covered 405 km in Lagos road with the usual trafic. I used AC throughout. = 18 MPG. I think this car has a good fuel economy.[/quote]I hope you will agree with me that Manual transmission if far better than auto in terms of mentainance and good milage for your gas.

Thanks once again. Just out of curiousity, I hardly see a Mitsu on the road that doesn't smoke. I was told that the smoke is due to oil seal problems which is common in Mitsus. I also learnt from an auto specialist that Mitsubishis are notorious on transmission problems and that it takes a lot of efforts and money to change the spark plug because you will have to take off the entire engine manifold off to do this. How true this. Yeah, I am a redeemer, hope you wont miss next month's convention. |
Clean ride. Looks like manual trans. How much arfe you selling? |
In case you are tired of intermitent interuptions during telephone conversation. Dont worry, just try this and your problem is as good as solved. ![]()

lagerwhenindoubt:I like your sincerity. If you can you upload pix, that'll be fine. |
Thanks akanxpress for your input and advice. I believe Mitsu have great cars but I really wonder what went wrong with their market values. |
lagerwhenindoubt:You're damn lucky to get babyboy at 700k. Nija used babyboy is sold bw 850-950. |
temmytanny:. . . .but Vin Report says it's 96. |
hiceema:Do you mean there are 4 cylinder villager in Cotonou or am I missing something? |
. . .still waiting for response. |
I've already done that. |
emeshot:How we go take get money feed our children and buy your cars when everybody goes on strike? Strike is supposed to be the last resort when all negotiation procedures fails to yield result but in Nija, the reverse is the case. |
ebuwa101:Manual Trans is not bad at all for a small car. It consumes less fuel, has more torque, cheaper and easier to maintain when compared to auto trans. The only advantage with auto is that it is more comfortable to drive. Ever wonder why most BM's and Audi's comes with manual? Well I see auto as a lazy man's car. ebuwa101:Agreed, price is OK! how about reliability and maintenance? |
I was only dissapointed with the interior design for their sedan which is made of cheap plastic fininshing upon inspection about 18 months ago. That was the only thing that stopped me from purchasing it. I just hope the've improved with their recent cars. |
I'll prefer 2007 CRV that has a good maintenance history and low milage. In the absence of the CRV, I'll go for Sportage. I just like the design. Tukson has a funny design which looks very toyish to me. Just my opinion anyway. |
xodus:This is bulldog, not academy. |
This is interesting. |
oldave:I totally agree with you. |
I've always followed your posts. Your prices are very generous compared to other dealers in this forum. Hope to do business with you some day. Wish you a nice sale. |
Due to increasing Lagos traffic, I spend an average of 4 hours everyday to and fro work instead of 1 hour which it used to be 3 years back. Now I’m deciding to upgrade to 4X4 so I can join those who follow the seaside track to save man hours and the two cars I have in mind are Pathfinder 1999 – 2002 and Montero 1998 – 2001. Montero is almost 500k cheaper than Pathfinder so I’m considering settling for it but I don’t know how reliable the car is. I will appreciate any input from anyone who can inform me about things to watch out for in these two cars. Thanks.[/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000] |
OK! Nice sale bro. |
amosundele:Hope my eyes is not deceiving me. I have never seen a 4cylinder Sigma before. You need to correct your post. |
Cool ride with a great milage. How much are you selling? |
Are you sure this is a 98 model? 98 is supposed to be BabyBoy not bullet. |
Is the 1.675 fixed or an asking price? If it's fixed, you will need to review it 'cos it's on a high side considering the current market value. |
Very clean indeed! The price is very generous too. Nice sale. |
