Car Talk › Re: My Car Fuel Consumption Is Draining Me, I'm So Frustrated, Please Help Me by maddman:
The scan tool clearly pointed you to the problems wrong with the car

Your engine is already on its last legs, runs too lean and also too cold (perfect culprits for your poor mpg)

If you're like me and value your peace of mind sell off this car.

95% of Nigerian mechanics are evil and they'll suck you dry while doing the wrong things and possibly damaging other components... I sabi dem well well

Ukeme8:
No it does not, and cost so much money to maintain. Best you get a specialist who knows how to fix it
Stop spreading misinformation. If you get a well maintained unit from the USA you'll only be doing normal servicing for years.
Car Talk › Re: Is Acura MDX 2015 Model A Good Car by maddman: 7:41pm On Sep 17
Swizzio:
The 2015 Acura MDX is fundamentally a great and reliable car, but doesn't tolerate abuse Its 9-speed automatic transmission and intricate push-button gear system require specialized diagnostic scanners and requires original specific oil not abro and seahorse, avoid roadside mechanics they'll ruin it for you, If a general mechanic messes with its network or sensors, it can permanently ground the car

Now you asked about it's second hand value, in Nigeria Toyota and Lexus got better second hand value than other brands like Honda, Acura, Nissan, infiniti ETC, so if you want to sell it later people will bargain at a price more lower than it's Lexus rival (RX350), Acuras don't have strong resale value like Toyota and Lexus

But not everyone cares about second hand value, some car buyers like me buy cars because of what they enjoy from it rather than second hand value, I prioritize driving enjoyment, modern comfort, and personal satisfaction over how much money i make when selling the car down the line. A vehicle is an intimate space where you spend hours every week, so buying a car that makes you feel good is a perfectly valid investment in your quality of life, if a car makes you smile anytime you are in it, disposing it would be difficult
The 2015 mdx came with the durable 6 speed. 2016/17 was when they introduced the 9 speed and the reviews for the first few years weren't great.

It's a very reliable car speaking from experience

Try to know what the different indicators on your dashboard signifies. Also know what different smoke colors means . White smoke is water related,black smoke is fuel related, while blue smoke is oil related . None of those color are manageable.
An irresponsible rewire once told me that illuminating check engine light means the vehicle is operating optimally. I'll never forget that day in my life . 🤣🤣🤣
I swear, very anyhow people.

When I got my first car and saw that light I panicked and went to see a rewire, dude told me to go home and not to worry but to call him if the check engine light goes off because that's when we have a problem 😂😂😂

Investment › Re: How True Is This by maddman: 8:20pm On Jun 27
Bearfruit:
Good morning everyone.i need enlightenment on this nrc investment how true is it has anyone tried putting any real money into it and any info on how long it exists.NRC Earning..
See ehn I like the fact you're curious it shows you're smart. Let me give you a nugget on making money

Any "update" that the owner or users are pushing aggressively or constantly forcing and guilt tripping you to join then it's most certainly a ponzi scheme -- robbing Peter to pay Paul

Any true update is passionately guarded you'll be the one begging them to put you on

NRC, NTL, Tag and whatever name they go by are basically task scams. They hide behind phantom tasks tricking you into believing you're actually doing something to earn that money but the truth is the amount they pay you for those tasks is just impossible

NRC promises over 1200% annually, a massive red flag. In the real world 20% to 30% is considered excellent

Don't let the dude up there to fool you. Every member must recruit aggressively otherwise the platform will crumble once there's no new intake so he's doing his part to keep the ponzi alive
Business › Re: Dangote Refinery Reduces Fuel Price To ₦1125/litre by maddman: 7:18pm On Jun 25
CharleyBright:
And the evil marketers are still selling about N1300 and ripping off customers.
Nigerians are our own problems.

Since price dropped in international market, fuel stations have refused to bring down pump prices, and they are claiming they need to sell off old stocks. Let the prices go up now, they will increase immediately now minding it is old stocks.

This rubbish is what you get when there are no price regulatory bodies.
Nigerians are as evil as their leaders.
I swear. Our leaders are just a reflection of who we are

Gaming › Steam To Stop Selling Gift Cards, Because Of Yahoo Boys by maddman(op): 6:53pm On Jun 10
For years, Valve’s physical Steam gift cards have been the closest you could come to buying a Steam game at a brick-and-mortar store. Now, Valve says it is phasing out the production of new retail gift cards, citing a losing battle against scammers exploiting the hard-to-track payment method.

Since launching the retail cards in 2012, Valve says it has been fighting a constant battle with scammers, who instruct victims to purchase gift cards and share the pertinent details and security PIN. Those scammers can then resell the gift card details at a discount on gray-market sites to effectively launder the funds, creating an anonymous and hard-to-trace form of payment.

Valve says it has made various moves to slow scammers, including placing limits on redemption and availability and adding a prominent warning on the cards themselves: “Never share a pin via email, social media or over the phone.”

But the company now admits that “scammers have adapted” and “continue to have an impact on Steam customers and other unsuspecting individuals.” Rather than continue to fight against that “impact,” Valve writes that it has “made the difficult decision to end the Steam Gift Card program at retail stores.”

Steam users will still be able to redeem existing physical gift cards, and retailers will be able to sell physical gift cards that are already in stores. But Valve estimates that those existing stocks will be completely gone by the end of 2026 as it ceases new production.

Car Talk › Re: Can This 2017 Camry Be Sold for 8.5m Or Too Good To Be True. by maddman: 12:43pm On Jun 10
Aniwhyte:
Too good to be true, I swear.

I bought my 2012 Camry, Nigerian used, not even half as clean as this, I bought it 12m. The motor one kill me, I normally uses 20 liters of fuel for 44 kilometers, my dashboard Is showing 3mpg, I saw it the day I bought it but over excitement nor make me abort. I was still the one that painted and buffed the car, still worked on the steering, on my way home the gasket burnt as there was no water in the radiator, I spent 130k changing the gasket the next day.

The fuel draining Is killing, I have checked for leaks, changed all 4 coils, all 4 plugs, I bought catalyst, changed air filter, I changed the Oxygen and maf sensor, I changed all four fuel injectors. The car came with bigger tyres and 20 inch wheel when I first bought it, june last year.... I went as far as changing all 4 wheels and all 4 tyres. Yet no significant difference, not even slightly, I have been driving it like that since then, I spend roughly 300k - 370k on fuel every month, and I haven't travelled out of my local Govt area ever since I bought and started driving the car.... I buy 10k fuel every blessed day, sometimes 15k fuel, It's a 4 four plug car. It's just so pathetic that I have no other option than to drive it like that.
Paying 12m for a 2012 Nigerian used Camry is outrageous undecided

If what you're saying is true about your fuel consumption, even after changing all you mentioned, then your engine's probably weak (low compression)

Just change the engine and peace of mind will say hello to you

Portiphaaa:
Nissan Maxima 2004, I was too occupied to travel to Benin city for inspection, I called a pastor friend and he sent his brother who claimed was a mechanic, the seller offered him money to call me and say the car was perfect, he collected the money and gave me assurance. I paid, I also paid for the delivery to my state. the driver left immediately but they didn't call me until they're halfway telling me they are moving now, in a few hours they called again and said they have arrived my state, Omo, the driver said "for my mind I calculated the few hours and thought the car was a moving object"
they delivered and hurriedly went back to Benin declining all my hospitality. 2 days later when I had chance to drive the car for the first time, the car refused to start, that was the beginning of the story ... ...... ......
Continue the gist na... Normally, 04 Maxima sweet to drive. What type of shege did you see?
