hao wmuch last?

Waiting

My colleague is offering 1.1m. What do U say? He needs this car like yesterday and cash is ready.

Thanx Olanshi. That's far above his budget. Pls do let me know if U come accross something that falls within his budget. He won't mind Rav4.

Any offer? His budget is #1.1m.

Pls correct ur post. This is not 2000 camry.

Still waiting.

tysantez:
what happened to the price of the vehicle and details (VIN etc)?

I woner ooo! This car is exactly what I need for a client but I dont usually respond to adverts that tries to hide relevant details.

A colleague is urgently in need of a good Nija sed CRV. Please post pix, your contact details, vehicle location and selling price if you have any for sale.

Awaiting your response,
Thanks.

There are always two sides of a story. We've heared your but it doesn't sound convincing. You both need to go for counselling. The fact that she begged shows that she regrets her action and deserves to be pardoned. Sending her away is not an option especially when there is a child involved. It seem to me that you are eying someon else otherwise I don't see a reason why you shoul contemplate sendin your wife out over an issue which can be amicably resolved.

.

The car looks clean and well mentained but this is not a 99 carina e. This is either 94 or 95 model.

Happy sale.

I'm just viewing this with a friend who is interested and would like to pay this weekend. How much is the last price?

Thanks Siena. You are indeed a Godsent. I will contact you before the end of this week.

Rauf2000:
If you are really a serious buyer come and inspect it. somewhere in Agindigbin or you can give a call 08034859968

A sincere answer to this question will enable a buyer make an informed decision, and also save him the time of traveling a long distance to inspect. I have bought a car from a reputable dealer here without having to travel a long distance to inspect his vehicle.

@ Siena,
Pls how much will it cost me to ship the car from UK? Also advice if there are other additional charges to enable me make an informed decision.

Thanks.

Siena:

Given the age of your car, relatively new, I would advice against an engine conversion. A conversion will require:

1) Engine mount fabrication.
2) An adapter plate to allow a different engine to bolt up to your Kia transmission.
3) A different engine wiring harness, which will require adapting to the Kia's Central Electronics.
4) A different ECU matched to the alien engine (will also have to be adapted to control the Kia's auto transmission TCU).
5) A matching transpondered key to match the new ECU.
6) New fuel lines, and depending on the new engine's operating pressure, a new fuel pump.
7) Adapted coolant pipes / hoses.

Unless you want your mechanic to wreck your new car, by converting it to a very old engine with a carburettor, I would source the correct engine. The 2,4L I4 engine in your 2007 Kia, is shared with the Hyundai Sonata 2,4L. You should be able to buy good used engines in Nigeria. There are certainly a lot here, with complete running cars going for between £700 - £950.

Best of luck.

Thanks Siena for your timely advice. You have saved me from making a costly mistake. Though I don’t know how much it could cost to ship and clear, it makes a lot of economical sense buying a complete car at that price. However, someone informed me there’s a place around Ikeja where they sell accidental cars. Will try my luck there and get back to you if it doesn’t work out.

Thanks once again.

Siena:
I can only advice you on an engine conversion, if I know a few details. I don't like having to make wild guesses, shooting in the dark.

1) Model year.
2) Engine capacity.
3) Engine configuration (I4 or V6).
4) Transmission type (auto or manual).

Bear in mind, the first generation of Kia Optima was a re-badged Hyundai Sonata, sharing it's engine, suspension, transmission, with just a few external body panels differing. It used the same body shell too.

1) Model year.  = (2007)
2) Engine capacity. = (2.4 ltr)
3) Engine configuration =  (L4)
4) Transmission type = (Manual transmission)

Thanks in anticipation.

still waiting for ur contribution and advice.

I drive a 2007 Kia Optima. it spends most of the time at the mechanic workshop than on the road and due to series of engine problems  i'm tired of trying to fix it.
Almost all the mechanics I've met suggested I get a replacement. Kia engine is so expensive here so my mechanic suggested we adapt an engine from another brand. He said used Japanese engines are cheaper and will outlive any new korean engine, that most guys that drives Korean cars goes for engine replacement due to durability and high cost of mentainance. He said the engine mount can be constructed to fit the new one while a new brain box will also be required for the new engine.

Pleas I need your advice on this. Is it possible to adapt an engine from another brand of car? If yes, what other brand of car engine apart from Korean engine will you suggest.

I bought a Kia Optima recently. The owner probably sold is out due to high cost of mentaining the engine which has now gone terribly bad. Kia engine is so expensive here so my mechanic suggested we adapt an engine from another brand. He said the engine mount can be constructed to fit the new one while a new brain box will also be required for the new engine.

Pleas I need your advice on this. Is it possible to adapt an engine from another brand of car? If yes, what other brand of car engine apart from Korean engine will you suggest.

Perdoname senora, Muchas gracias.

You don't need a visa to enter Ghana. Once you get to their Kotoka Airport, your passport will be stamped and I think you can stay there for up to three months before you need a renewal.
What are your tastes though? It'll determine what you want to spend your time and money on in Ghana.
You might want to check out http://www.aximbeach.com/ though. Perfect vacation spot though it is outside Accra.
Also, check out El'orr Hotels and Jazz Court if you are into African and contemporary Jazz and the likes.
Both affordable too. About $60 or so.

Thanks a million bro.
That site is quite helpful.

We're both on the same shoe here. You can contact Quincy via this e-mail address titi.travels.tours@gmail.com. She is a tested and trusted travel agent in this forum.

@Quincy

Just sent you a mail. Kindly respond ASAP.

Rgds,

Have you tried Obudu Cattle ranch? Though the hotel fee is a little on the high side but you'll get a value for your money there.

Lemme take you through a short walk through history here, see history repeating itself Some of it makes for unpleasant reading, but all the same, enjoy

According to Onwan, Police001 (aka violent) is posting trash to tarnish ptconsult's image.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.0.html#msg5992919
According to Onwan, Police001 is an a.s.s.w.i.p.e and a misfit

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.32.html#msg6003546
Even after linking Onwan to evidence, he still claimed that Ptconsult is not a scammer, and that the OP Police001 is a phoney hater. Even when shown evidence that Ptconsult had refused to speak up for over 2 weeks, his response was let the victim supply his bank account and the number he'd been calling Ptconsult on. That people should hold back on going to the Police until the victims showed concrete proof.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.64.html#msg6012837
And here is Onwan saying the victims need to apologise to PTconsult and calling the victims a fraud.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.64.html#msg6013012
And here is Onwan asking why nobody had been to the Police? Wasn't it him who said people should wait earlier?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.96.html#msg6014693
Post 106 on the thread, and Onwan says he doesn't blame PTconsult for not showing up, BECAUSE THE VICTIMS GAVE UP AFTER ONWAN KEPT ASKING THEM FOR EVIDENCES UPON EVIDENCES UPON EVIDENCES YET NEVER FOR ONCE ASKED PTCONSULT TO COME OUT AND DEFEND HIMSELF. SAD , REALLY SAD

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-440645.96.html#msg6020827
HERE WE have Onwan giving nauseating authoritative reasons for why he thinks PTconsult had delayed delivering one of the victim's car - and his reason was PTconsult don't like to update customers every step of the way like Inspired_men, Fhemmy and German007, AS USUAL PROVIDING EXCUSES AND ALIBIS FOR PTCONSULT THE FRAUDSTER'S SHORTCOMINGS. SAME WAY HE WAS DEFENDING AGARIAUTOS AKA PTCONSULT, SAME THING HE IS DOING HERE, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE LIKES OF SIENA AND CO





And there is soooooooooo many other posts of Onwan along this same line, it makes one wonder that JuDGING on his stance on issues like this, is there a syndicate of fraudsters on Nairaland who are out to defraud buyers, i can't wrap my head around this, THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM, HOPE THE AUTOSECTION WOULD NOT BE THE SWAN SONG OF NAIRALAND AS A WHOLE. its curtain call for me and Nairaland as i bow and take my leave, HMMN, HUMAN BEING AND THE DESTRUCTIVE, INHILISTIC AND MALOVELENT PATH WE LIKE TO TOW, NIGERIANS I HAIL THEE, GOD DEY, I REST MY CASE.[/quote]@ Owan,
I have an impression that you are hired by these con men to do their dirty laundry. You know why? Because, I have waited for you to respond to the quoted, but it seems you are carefully avoiding that part. I might be wrong anyway, but we need an explanation here.

hmmm? HOPE U DON'T PLAN USING IT IN LAGOS, OTHERWISE U'LL NEED ANOTHER TELESCOPE TO PURCHASE THOSE CUTE LAMPS WHENEVER THOSE MAD OKADAS WELCOMES U TO EKO.

GOOD LUCK IN UR SEARCH ANYWAY.

Clean ride.

Just wondering why a 2008 car doesn't come with a single airbag.

Thanks Zuzuki for your advice. If i buy the car for 500k and give it out on installmental payment, how much will be the total amount and what will the payment period look like. Just trying to weigh my options.
