Carshopper:
nope ...ur car had issues more often than u claim to reveal...

u fail to see the hidden discussion ... who told u the client wasn't advised on what to pay...

2. after inspection done and assessment given it's left to client to make a calculated purchase based on assessment given and that is what is paid for..

3. right to help in negotiations is voluntary NOT Compulsory.


remember this discussion we had on Scot Kia rio

Your chat screen shots proof nothing, it's no evidence, it's just a hear say. From someone that wasn't part of the transaction, Don't divert our attention.

Scott might not actually know you cheated him, base on our experience we know.

Well done sir

GAZZUZZ:
I have gone thru your threads, you have no integrity, you sell a car and after that you delete your numbers and the pictures so you cannot be discovered.

You are very stupid boy.

Car sold, why will I keep pictures? Why will I keep my number online for spam callers, when I have nothing more to sell.

Don't divert our attention, talk about how you cheated the poor driver that hustle so hard to raise 780k for a car.

Criminal mechanic, I have always said it all mechanics are the same.

darmilolah:
On the low..... You helped me to negitiate and we got a good deal and I spent less than 300k to refurbish it.

I took my car to Gazzus for review afterwards. I got a good review. The only thing Gazzuss said was he can hear a rattling sound from the engine and that I should not go above 100km. I went back to my mechanic. My mechanic set the taper valve and we change the adjuster shock absorber. This is the 17th months. Car still run on the platform. I have not change the engine and gear nor work on the AC except changing of relay.

My civic cover average of 250km daily and I do over 100km on high way as against Oracle advice that I shouldn't go above 100km.

What I have been saying is if you are charging 20k. Atleast, help your client negotiate.

GAZZUZZ charge 20k to inspect car and still went ahead to collect another money from the seller, then deceive the buyer into buying a dead car.

Then come to nairaland to form oracle.

In as much as we are not always on the same page, I want to thank you for coming out to expose this thief mechanic.

He has frustrated a hardworking driver from owning his own car.

GAZZUZZ:
I see a gathering of MAD people.

I will not waste my data on any of you.

Last last the buyer of the car will come address all you fools.

Idiots.

You are a fool.

Your fada idiot.

All your family MAD.

Carshopper:
blah blah blah and more blah

I'm sure you are the owner of that dead car.

Probably one of the cars you advertise here.

Trust this cheat at your own peril.

Oluwabengz:
You guyz are not asking the right question(s) here. I think the question should be; did GAZZUZZ told the buyer the condition of the car? I mean, did GAZZUZZ told Scott that the car has a bad engine and gear? If he did, his job has been done, if he didn't he should be blamed and should also refund the guy's 20k he collected.

No one will buy Kia rio 780k when informed the engine and gear is bad.

Scot was deceive into buying that car.

Kia rio with dead engine and gear should not be more than 300k.

Carshopper:
This year aunty may ur unguided speech and lack of knowledge lead you to where such gathers...

and yes it's less than 400k to refurbish a Kia rio and No wasn't my Kia rio ... Scot drove on my fleet for 4months before he decided to venture on his own... A decision I and others advised against, but pikin were go stubborn go stubborn

And your defense is scot drove on your fleet and you advise him against getting his own car. That's all the wrong scot did.

Scot biggest mistake is trusting Carshopper and GAZZUZZ with his hard earn money.

When I told you guys they are deceivers you won't believe me

Everyone beware of GAZZUZZ and Carshopper, they are accomplice in this whole thing.

Carshopper:
Nope... I stand to correct this because I was involved in the purchase process. Scot was told to overhaul Engine, transmission and AC (he didn't have d finance power)... Or Use/manage the car for say 1-2months and overhaul if finances isn't available... There are records to proof this. Please never say things u were not involved in the process or listen to only the one with the pains.

The ride was negotiated about 780k by Scot due to the fact the transmission was noted to be 'slipping' and other works was due.

They have come to defend their master, dead Kia rio for 780k.

Pls show us ur records, we don't want hear say.

darmilolah:
Gazzuss forget jare. With the pre purchase inspection you did for Scott. He still bought a dead car with no engine and gear at very expensive price.

Probably the seller bribed GAZZUZZ, so he gain in both ways.

Don't trust any mechanic take 2 or 3 more mechanic to go for inspection, b4 concluding.

Most car sellers negotiate with mechanics behind your back.

Derayo01:
Good morning house.!
Anyone who could help a pilot with a car for rental, and preferably 25k...would so appreciate...Thanks.
I can be reached by Olatundeidowu34@gmail.com or 09071447776.

I have golf 3 for you.

GAZZUZZ:
what kind of wife do you have? Immediately a well brought up woman encounters such drivers, before he finishes the first sentence she shuts him up.

Chief mechanic, chief relationship adviser. Chief of traditional village men.

Well done.

I thought going to UK to study will change your orientation.

dru23:
I agree with you about 80% ... I buy most of my parts for my uber cars on ebay.. When u now compare buying it from ladipo market... now the China part..most parts that come from China into the USA market, are better regulated than other African markets ...but you can't blame the Chinese people... it is what you ask the Chinese is what they will make .....can you imagine I bought a pair of shocks for $60 for my uber cars ...1 year plus the shock is doing great no complain from my drivers... but am sure those shocks might not give a very smooth ride. But for uber and factor in bad Nigerian road.. It is a win win for me

The tokunbo shocks we normally get from ladipo is either from America or Malaysia/Singapore Those shocks are very good. They last more than one year.

I actually prefer tokunbo than the new parts.

If you know your way, you will understand that corolla is one of the cheapest car to maintain.

Tyche:
This guy Sabi buy chinko parts

All brand new spare parts you buy in Nigeria are all chinko.

Nobody import from Japan or America all is China, only few Indian.

MobilityExpress:
You claim Kia Rio is worth 250k but you said your girlfriend bought her own Kia Rio for 800k. Why? Why did she pay so much if Kia Rio has no value; why didn’t she pay 250k for it?

At that time she join Uber, only 2008 upward cars are required.

So corolla 2008 is above 3m, so she stumble on this Kia rio of 800k and she was like in 4months I will recover my money.

Rather in 2months she keep putting in money until she is frustrated and sell it off.

There are people here who don't know about cars, they can easily be deceive into paying much higher.

When ogunvic introduce 407 to people, alot of people bought 407 for 1.2/1.4.

So when you start singing praise of Kia rio people might pay that guy 700k thinking is good a buy.

But I can bet you they will surely regret.

thebigkendo:
Resale value is just perception..if all Kia rio owners in Nigeria decide their Kia rio's are worth more value & refuse to sell cheap.. What do you think will happen to the price?

Resale value!! It's all in our head..
Example
I would never buy a naija used 2005 corolla for 1m, no matter how clean.. It's not worth that value to me.
Somebody like you will probably jump at same corolla for 1.4m and feel it was a great bargain.

Market is control by demand. Not by meeting and agreeing.

Despite plenty of corolla in Lagos resell value remain high.

Few Kia rio put for sale what you get is 250k. While corolla you beg with 1.2 nobody listen to you.

Carshopper:
parked for a long time .. so took it for a spin n car wash ... my old fav

some people will shout n rant .. but the decision remains urs... if you like use hybrid or electric vehicle, Toyota, Kia, Peugeot or Nissan... at end of the tunnel it's d same noni... all brands deliver a particular rental based on d decision of the owner ..

The truth is coming out gradually, park for long time. Why was it parked?
Why not on the road generating money.

We know the problem you have been through using Kia rio on Uber, now you want to push your problems to other people.

Go jiji and post your car, don't deceive people here.

MobilityExpress:
With 50k you will fix all the problems of a lemon corolla? Wow, take it easy with the lies. This is beyond exaggeration, and you’re literally hallucinating. The same Corolla that I just bought only new front shock absorbers last month for 20k? Smh, your lies are disgusting.

New shock sold at trade fair whole sale price is 12000.

Go aspanda block b, plenty of it in the market.

TheCar:
Except we are taking about using aftermarket or tokunbo part for repairs, No car is cheap to maintain in Nigeria.

A Toyota Corolla Alternator OEM cost NGN 100,000.00, a second-hand or tokunbo goes for about 15k I believe.

A Toyota Corolla Front Shock Absorber (Tokico) cost NGN45,000

A Toyota Corolla Rear Shock Absorber (Tokico) cost NGN 40,000

I would definitely not buy a Kia Rio (Personal Opinion) ahead of a Toyota Corolla.

Anyday, Anywhere, Anyplace, A Toyota Corolla is way ahead of a KIA RIO (personal opinion).

I don't even understand the basis of these comparison between a KIA RIO and Toyota Corolla.

Do a KIA RIO command a good resale value compared to a Toyota Corolla.

Well, I maintain my corolla with grade a tokunbo parts.

Alternator you listed is 10k tokunbo, to change the kitting less than 1500, it's the kitting that normally spoil

Front shock is 4k each without spring, the spring will be there forever hardly spoil.

Back shock 3500 each without spring.

Some stuff I buy tokunbo some new one.

Brake pad corolla wholesale in trade fair is 1800, retail outlet some sell 2500/3000

Stabilizer leakage the 2pcs is 1200 whole sale price in trade fair. Retail sale for 1800/2000

This are common things that spoils in corolla.

The spare parts are very cheap forget mechanic quotation. Forget this one na original this one na fake all parts comes from China, some repackage to sell it expensive.

Tgiirl:
Bro, which other line of yours is available. I called you glo line with my airtel line that ends with 200.

I just want to know where and when to come inspect the car. I'm serious. And hope we can negotiate further

Believe this conversation at your own peril.

No more whatsapp to drop message or text, only nairaland.

oluwaseunla:
Complete engine and gearbox of a 1zz engine: 200k. Apparently, it's not only lemon cars you buy.

Have fun in your delusional world. I'm out.

Well, as a mechanic I know I'm spoiling market for you, because most mechanic always quote 1zz engine for 200k, but the real price is 140k without baranda.

Sorry I'm spoiling your business, but I'm saving alot of people.

oluwaseunla:
Every single statement you wrote up there is very wrong. I fix cars, so I know. I assume you are doing that intentionally.

Proof to me how wrong I am.

Apart from buying corolla engine that cost 140k or complete gear box that cost 60k tell me other stuff in corolla that is expensive, the major thing that spoils in corolla. if all of them spoil you won't spend 50k to fix it.

Give me the list, for people who don't know car parts they can be cheated, but for us we know it.

MobilityExpress:
Don’t be stupid! Mind your words when you talk to me, i’m not like Gazzuz that will tolerate your insults because he keeps his cool, always striving to keeps things professional and he’s trying to protect his hard-earned reputation. Nobody is feeding me here on Nairaland. If it’s the small change in your pocket that is fueling your arrogance, you better park one side. Or do you think you’re the only person on this forum that has millions? You must be really stupid to ask if my brain is misfiring. Rubbish!

I can't believe a big boy that has corolla, Kia rio and Ford will use the word nobody is feeding me? This are words use by hungry boys.

I will not tolerate insults is also used by very frustrated human being with empty pocket.

Ass licking the chief mechanic to make a point gives you away as a sockpuppet.

Then do you think you are the only one that has millions, are statements used by jealous people, that live in a ghetto, that find one rich guy among them.

You came here posted copy and paste your oga gave you, sound like one intelligent guy that have used plenty of cars, but this your last post gave you away.

You are busted, we know who you are, they are trying to use you to sell the Kia rio to vulnerable investors.

This was exactly what happen during the days ogunvic was trying to sell peogeout to new investors , you say one everybody attack you.

Repent Jesus is coming soon.

oluwaseunla:
@mobilityexpress, it is the Kia Rio's from Dana motors that have expensive engines. The ones brought in from North America actually have cheaper engines.

Kia Rio is very rugged. People should learn to accept other people's preferences.

The guy that talked about a Kia Rio of 800k bought a lemon.

There is no such thing as lemon corolla with 50k you can fix all your corolla problems.

But Kia rio you will struggle forever even after fixing.

A car that won't notify you via dashboard your car is over heating what type of car is that?

Ogbunigwe2018:
Did you read where he said he has been driving it for SEVEN years?

In that 7years ask him if he has driven that Kia rio up to 10k miles.

Kia rio is not design for ruggedness, use it for Uber in few months the car will pack up.

My gf bought it for Uber 800k and sold it to car45 for 165k

MobilityExpress:
This is a rubbish statement! I own a Kia Rio, 2008 hatchback model, bought brand new from Dana in November 2011, and up till today, no issues whatsoever. Other than normal routine service of oil change, brake pads change, AC gas refill, I have never done any repairs on the car. In fact, I just replaced the fan / timing belt early October 2018, that’s like almost 7 years. Show me how many cars that their belts are that durable? And it was a simple fix for the mechanic. As for fuel efficiency that people usually hype corollas for, Kia Rio is even more fuel efficient. And i’m speaking from 1st hand angle, because I use both cars. There was a time in 2016, my 2004 Ford Transit van, high roof, long wheel base, with about 5000+ GVWR broke down around Ogudu, towing vans were calling high price, hmm, I just called for my Kia Rio and I towed the Ford from Ogudu to bariga and my Kia engine was up to the task. I towed another bigger car with it this year from Lekki to mainland, and no problems whatsoever. As for me, let me speak for myself, my Kia has been a very reliable workhorse. 7 years, I have never topped the coolant, no leaks in the cooling system. I only replace coolant after 3 years as a general protocol. When I bought the car, it had an electric temp gauge, you won’t see any reading at all, just the temp symbol and I wasn’t comfortable with that. I like to look at the temp reading, so that I can know when and if the car is about to overheat. But in 7 years, I have never had any overheating, not even once. My radiator fans have never failed for one day in 7 years, and it’s an intermittent fan, shuts on and off, low speed, high speed etc. Never replaced thermostat in 7 years, never replaced any fuse or relays in seven years, only changed the rear light bulbs. For 7 years, my headlights are still working well, no burn outs, even the fog light still works (unlike Corollas that die out easy, barely 2 months, my corolla fog light and full beam light is dead because i entered some flooded areas, but my Rio has been in more flood than I can count). In 7 years, all my dashboard instrument panel set still works fine, car stereo still works fine, although the CD player misbehaves sometimes. Bottom line is, among all my cars and cars that i’ve used, only the Kia Rio has lasted 7 years straight without giving me any major problems. So i’m wondering how you came up with this type of false premise about Kia Rio. Kia Rio is a car I would recommend to anybody, and I hardly recommend any car brand. If you maintain it well and drive it well, it will serve you. But if you fire down regularly anyhow, flooring your pedal to be competing with V6 and V8’s on the road, as if the Kia Rio is a Ferrari, then you will have yourself to blame. As for Uber/Taxify the only reason i chose Corolla over the Rio was because when I asked about it, the corolla engine was far cheaper to buy. But Kia is in the same league with Hyundai: costly engine. And for a car that will be driven all day, all week, all year long, better to use a car whose engine can be easily replaced without cutting my head off. Anyway, this your claim about Kia being a problematic car is false as far as I’m concerned. Like Trump would say - #FAKENEWS

PS: here’s another spoiler, since January 2018, i’ve been parking my Kia Rio on the street and this is November 2018, no single case of theft or vandalism . And mind you, this is an open community on the mainland with bad boys all around, not like a restricted estate or exclusive court. Sometimes the car might not even move in 2 weeks, other than dust, nobody has interest in touching it, no missing side mirror glass or missing emblem, or missing brainbox. But my corolla, ehn, who born me well, after all the stories that touch i’ve heard online and offline?

It seems you are the owner of Kia rio put up for sale? Or you want to sell your Kia rio.

You bought a car brand new and use it to visit your church and other social gathering and you want to use it to compare Uber work.

The only advantage Kia rio has is your last statement free from vandalism.

Carshopper:
I don't have money ooo ... but hell fire is already with u that want to pay 250k


Peugeot people that got deceived by we know who didn't do their due diligence... they were still comparing Peugeot to my fav ..now Peugeot is gone and my fav is still here

You are one of them, your moniker started functioning immediately ogunvic quit this forum.

GAZZUZZ was the chief mechanic that certified those Peugeot when problem started as a smart man, he deny all of you.

Romeo was the hussler that moves around streets of kaduna looking for dead 407.

Now you have started singing praise of Kia rio knowing fully well that vehicle malfunction alot.

I repeat, repent if not hell fire will consume you.

Carshopper:
when u read my post did you see I NEED HELP written there... or did any driver come and meet you for help?... if you want help drivers do your rental at 25k and leave my fav alone ..she no like u

Corolla is non negotiable, 35k weekly.

Anybody that buy your Kia rio for 700 is an angel sent from heaven.

For you to sell that Kia rio you need serious help.

Carshopper:
bring the check ... put it on the table .. a.c. Wil be ready by Monday evening

So you dont have money to fix common AC, yet you boast how Kia rio made you dangote.

That was how you guys deceive people with peogeut, now you are looking for jjc to push that dead and most rejected car in uber/taxify for 700k.

Hell fire is waiting you if you don't repent.

Carshopper:
hurry pull out ooo ... u wan come enjoy wetin we dey enjoy with Kia rio abi... corolla is the best remember ... oh I see u no get corolla money

I wanted to help you, and at the same time help drivers that are looking for cheap cars.

If I buy from you 250k, I will only give it out on hp for 450k

Will never try rental with it. The Kia rio gives alot of trouble, so driver that want cheap car will get it.

Dzeph1:
Please I need a car for rental 30k contact 09052515878
I stay in magboro

Do you want Kia rio? Let me know soon. I'm about to buy one.

Carshopper:

no resell value and u wan buy my fav wey u go give 1star... double standards oo

In politics and business double standard is a normal procedure.


Let me know if you accept my offer, car45 won't offer you more than 120k.

Hurry up b4 I pull out from the deal.
