Please I need an advice before i made a mistake. I have a Toyota Avensis 2007 model. Its manual transmission but i want to convert it to automatic so i want to know whether it is adviceable, the cost involved, the advantages and the disadvantages especially from people that have done it before whether in Toyota or any car model. Am just new when it comes to automobile just six months experience. I also want to change the dashboard to a new one, anyone with a price idea? Also, how do I contact Toyota company Asaba?

U wan talk waka now abi. Na that motor ur village people wan use take get u

nurey:


in terms of initial purchase, the Rav 4 may be costlier to purchase or be on par with the merc in Naija because of the toyota syndrome (remember you can't find brand new of both cars anymore)

the Rav 4 has two engine variants of 2.0L 4cylinder with manual and automatic gear versions. the merc has multiple engine variants from petrol to diesel I4, I5n V6 and V8 of different specs.

the ML is chunkier so the Rav4 will have better fuel economy and likely faster than the ML due to size and weight when both are compared in the 4cylinder stage. I can't buy a 4cylinder ML cause I believe it will be under powered.

the ML has a 3rd row seat which can seat 2adults comfortable and 3 in a rugged manner, but the rav doesn't. the rav has a good sized boot volume and good looking compared to the ML (my opinion).

the ML will need optimum care, will cost slightly higher to maintain, needs a professional mecho to look into it, is a German machine and will perform wonderfully well but the Rav 4 has a better resale value than it and far/much more reliable than the ML.

the ML is a sport utility vehicle and will perform well in offroad and rough road situations compared to the Rav4 which is a CUV which will have a better fuel economy and drive just like a slightly raised car.

Well ur points are valid , if money is no object the OP should get the Benz. That gen of the rav4 is too feminine IMO

Esteem Forum member,

I would like your candid opinion on the choice of either a RAV4 (1999-2000) and Mercedes ML 320 1999 Model in term of durability, usage, fuel consumption, maintenance cost.

Thanks.

They are not in the same class at all in terms of anything .. The merc will cost more to buy, fuel and maintain

are you dumo1

. Nope

The truth is the Nigerian automobile market still has a long way to go. Most of our mechanics are quacks and people patronize them alot.

Then why would you buy a brand new Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru e.t.c then drive it to kazeem's place to fix, these guys can't fix new model cars as these cars are out of their league. They learnt their trade on datsun and other extinct car models. Also vital components in new vehicles are covered by warranty till around 100,000 km or 5 years, whichever comes first. So your stories ain't adding up.

Then, if you can also afford a new car, then you shouldn't have a problem repairing the car in a standard service centre operated by the car manufacturer or an assigned dealer.

What do u mean my stories ain't adding up, a car bought in 2004 with about 140000km is not possible or what?

Mind u that car didn't get this far with kazeems repairing it, the only work kazeems do in it are basic stuffs like changing of bulbs or brake pads. Everything else is handled by kia specialists

Based on the rating of your engine, for Benzs and Bmws is between 60 to 80 degrees. Predominantly folks don't go below 71 and 85 degrees thermostat here, except, you are looking for trouble. I think same goes for the Jap mobiles, else i stand to be corrected.

If you use 71 to 80 degrees thermo here, you are perfectly in order, you would never experience overheating nor run your engine rich nor burn top gasket.

Thanks a lot , one more Q pls, which of the hoses should I remove to install the thermo, is it the one that goes into the upper part of the radiator or the one that goes into the lower part??...

dumo1:
my dear friend if you love your self and youbdint want Kazeem and his crew 2 use your car to learn work pls stay away from Hyundai and Kia brands. Had a Hyundai and Kia and it was every weekend @ d mechanics shop. no parts readily available except u go to their Dana workshops. Don't get me wrong their cars are not that bad but for our roads its a no go area & their suspensions are as soft as biscuit bones.

Oga , I can tell u that u don't know how to maintain cars. If I show the pix of an optima we have been using for 10 yrs u go hala. I kW the parts are not easy to come by but once u buy a kia part I won't have to replace it for a long time

CityNG:


I frankly don't know unless I do research but I think you should do that because you know you car and it's specs.

I can tell you that our SUV that was shipped in from SoCal has the same thermostat and it hasn't missed a beat.

Nigeria is not that much different from most climates which has summer temperatures.

A useless kazeem took out mine without telling me when he was replacing a bad radiator on the car. So I need to get another , its a 2003 optima i4

CityNG:


Even if you leave in Alaska or Australia, your engine needs a thermostat.

The job of a thermostat is to regulate water through the cooling system. It opens and closes base don temperature.

There are different thermostats with different temperatures settings available in the market place for most cars. On my Austin I can go from a 160 degree thermo to 210 degree based on how my engine is tuned.

But you need a thermo in the system.

Hope you're enjoying Sri Lanka, you should share some pictures of the car scene out there.

please what's the best thermostat temp rating for Nigeria.. Thanks

Nobody will buy this thing for 1m sef, abi u dey try ur new jazz

Oga this car is not toks , this is naija used

VIN please

I spend like 18k on transport and feeding monthly, my office is close to where i stay and i still stay with my folks and i can comfortably save 60k monthly

Hope that's enough

Bro u already said ur office is close to where u live.. IMO leave that car first .. I earn more than u earn now (for bout 20 months now) and I no dey reason motor, I have peeps I join to work tho.

Guy leave that motor matter first cos if motor do u sometimes esp as its not brand new. Apart from the maintenance , some unexpected failures will happen after all its a machine.

OP, that's not an aventador

Rapmoney:
We know ur type! So don't bother

And what type am I if I may ask? I'm just being frank , I don't belong to the class of p*ssywhipped brothers.

BTW no worry wen u born boy , train am finish e come marry tell him to buy an SUV for his wife while he drives a matchbox ..

Buy Jeep for my wife and be using golf?.. Which kind nonsense be DAT one na?

Its my choir gown that she quickly begged someone to borrow her. I don't know how her generation have turn to people we insult online. She is old enough to be my mother twice but i see a thieve rather than a woman and a mother in my eyes and i lost that respect i am supposed to give her.

Young man u and most of people insulting this woman can only do it online, u guys will rather prostrate if u encounter her in real life.. Nigerians respecting thieves since 1960

Edusouls:
shut up witch, who wan buy ring put for ur hand, that man they mad,abby im wan paint im future black,poor women like you are men's worst nightmare, how much do yourself earn a year, and how much do ur father earn, you woman with spirit of wretchedness, i cast and bind you out of men's life,in jesus name amen..

Bro easy on the chic, she is just being childish and myopic , with time she will see life from a different angle #nobetoday

Nna men, this 50k thing depends on where u intend to settle down.. I for example have been earning 150k about 2 yrs now. I have been able to save close to 2m but oboy I still feel its not enough to get married .. Sometimes it depends on where u wanna settle and the lifestyle u have been used to

This Amanpour b*tch never aks about anything positive happening in Nigeria. Always looking for a way to paint us bad.

210k you said ?.Issoraite...
