Hello gurus in the house, pls I need advice on ford escape 2002 model, both neat nigerian used or tokumbor. What are the chalenges with the car, is it a user friendly car I.e fuel consumption, spare parts, resale value and any other info. Pls reply with good reasons.

pato405:
Withdraw this 'Thanks' abeg!

When you ask, ask people who drive one, don't allow others who are simply biased and form their opinion out of sheer ignorance to deceive you.

Get a toks Escape and thank me later. I will advise against any Nigerian used car. Reason: Many Nigerians have a very poor maintenance culture. They dont mind using wrong parts, wrong engine oil, and patronize wrong mechanics. They eventually resort to selling the car when problems resulting from their poor maintenance habits become insoluble..and guess what? When you turn up as a potential buyer, You'll NEVER be told of the problems they've been grappling with - so you end up buying a pig in a poke - another man's whahala with your hard earned money. Nothing can be more painful than such. Pls go for toks and do a routine VIN check, Check milage, scan the car...if it's all OK, pay, service the car and you are good to go!

I live in GRA Keffi Nassarawa State, an isolated area that you hardly see people moving around everyone minds his business.....

I was inside my house today around 11 am, I heard the door bell ringing, I went to check, I saw a man, he pointed at my car and said the owner of that car just collected his motor circle, I was puzzled. I told him I am the owner of the car, the man was even trying to argue with me, I call my negbours and we asked him to explain what really happened.

He said, he carried a man in front of a police station, and the man told him that he's a police man he was holding a handcuff in his hand, the man told him to take him to GRA, when they reach the front of my house, the man showed the okada rider my house and my car that that's his house and his car so the okada rider should wait for him there, he wants to use his bike to go and check one crime scene in a close by house, that okada riders are not allowed in but for him being a police man, will show his ID card and pass. And he doesn't want to use his car because they know his car.....

The bike man foolishly gave him the bike and the man collected 1k from the con police man, the okada rider should arrange change before the con police man will come back.. After like 15mins he decided to knock at my door........ How foolish! .

Good Morning Gentlemen and Mechanics, please i would appreciate information on the cost of a complete Honda Accord 2008 V6 engine Or contact of a reputable mechanic Here in Lagos who can efficiently refurbish the present one.

The present engine performs and responds just fine but burns oil and smokes especially when in heavy traffic.

I'm talking about a 2008 toyota highlander.

I want to change my front bumper as my cousin had an accident with it and scratched it severely.

How much should it cost? I was given a ridiculous price by someone who imports Toyota parts. Please help.

shamecurls:
Common.....An Infiniti is as reliable as a Lexus with better handling, stability and excess of power. Boss, If u cruise and FX, U will agree with me that an RX is a toy

i am confused on which car to get. I love the design and build of Honda Accord, but i am hearing that it has transmission problems and also the tyre stuff.

That a toyota would be the best deal for me. I am confused, although i work and want to look classy. i won't want to bore a hole in my pocket because of a car. anyone using Honda accord and hardly have problems with it? or is the Avalon simply the best buy for me

Good day, good people. I refuelled my car, a 2007 Honda accord last week. The malfunction indicator came on about two days later,and a scan brought a code, P2138, showing there was a problem with the TPS. The car stalls and also jerks when shifting from gear 1 to 2 while in motion, and when the gear stick is shifted to R or from R while stationary.

Now, two of my office vehicles, both of them, Toyota had issues after buying fuel from the same source earlier that week, so that the fuel pump of one of them had to be changed.

Each time I reset the engine with the scanner, the light comes up in 5mins or less.

Could it be possible that it is the bad fuel that could be affecting the engine while the system is throwing a code p2138 that has to do with the TPS?

Please, I await your responses and suggestions. Thank you.

ZIMDRILL:
i will blant

you buy a car of your choice not from what people choose for you



what you need is to just compare facts from the chosen cars and the decision is yours

we cant help to choose but might give you facts to compare

coninse:
Please help choose.

I want to buy a 2003/4 Lexus RX 330 but at the same time, people are advising me to by Infiniti FX35 or Nissan Murano.

Which one should I choose? Or do you have a better suggestion? Please state your reasons.

obitryce:
Good day Sir/Oga Gazzuzz and a big thanks for the good work you have been doing. Please i drive a lexus RX330 and my check engine light came up sometime ago and i had the vehicle scanned and was told that my O2 sensor (the one under the car) was bad but since the car seems to be moving well i shouldn't bother changing it. Kindly advice me if this is a wise suggestion or not and how much would it cost to get it replaced thanks.

Trying to list our problems more then one time...i write him any point of kritik, with include explaining What is wrong and why...but if i ask him what is wrong for him, he just say All. If i please him to give an example, so we could find a solution to change, he dont know what to say. Then he swear his love to me and he promise to change, to take responsibility and carry out its duties, to stop lying and to try beeing straight for the future...but its just working 1-2 days, then he is back in his old behaving.
