Thanks boss. But what about the famed leg pull and transmission issue of the accord?
Which would you have preferred if u were in my shoes
Thanks for your time. I appreciate

I would have prefer the 2002 to 05 Civic because

1. It is more fuel efficient than the Accord

2. Doesn't experience leg pull syndrome

3. can seat 3 at the back and still have a good ground clearance than the Accord with same load.

4. More recent means more parts both as brand-new or tokunbo readily available in Nigerian market.

5. more appealing in out Ward appearance in basic form, sports form or luxurious form (Acura EL)

6. Engine and gear is cheaper than the Accord V6 and close in 4cylinder ACCORD.

7. It doesn't deshape or rust if both vehicles were subjected to same condition Civic would come out tops than the Accord (baby boy)

8. Resale value the Civic still holds it better and would sell faster than the Accord due to Uber demand.

It was started with my Toyota sienna, I do complain about my sienna year 2000 that fuel economy was very bad but to my surprise after making enough enquiry how normal sienna suppose to run, I realized my car is Ok after spending enough to satisfied both kazeems and real engineers....change catalyst,plugs and so many after enough diagnoses ...but just of recent my exhaust pipe burst after 02 censors, i couldn't bear the louder sound but i decided to use it like that for several weeks. To my surprise with that louder sound, where i use to go with #2000 fuel...I'm now using #1000 fuel..pls i dnt really Understand the reason bcs i do hear of busting exhaust leak consume much fuel...i need guru explanation thanks

If you are using the fuel gauge indicator as your fuel economy calculator OYO is your case. Buy full tank, if your engine in the sienna is 1mz and is in top shape then

full tank down to the end of the first quarter mark is 150kms

quarter mark to exactly half point is 180 to 200km meaning full tank to half tank should be 350km, the more you deviate then the more you should be worried about my stats is for combined 20% traffic (1.5hrs) 80% highway (3-4hrs)

good luck.

I'll try the glove box compartment but the key doesn't open the passenger side and the boot so far my observation. It only opens the driver's door.

you have the extra key only, I doubt if it will open or close the glove compartment box, but the passenger side tilts me to think you have extra key only which opens driver door and ignition only.

Stormyweather:
Hello everyone, my car keys only opens the driver's door, it won't open even the boot. It's not keyless entry.
What can I do?

2005 Highlander

if the key opens and locks the glove box compartment and can open the passenger side too if the passenger side has a hole then the key hole of the boot is faulty. just have the hole left opened by a panel beater you just have to unlock/lock using the universal unlock/lock button.

I prefer Infinity FX35, though may have electric issues (Power window may misbehave, fuel guage not working and it cost about 25k, etc) but it is a "balanced " CUV with 22" tires and that sound from the exhaust is something else,Premium BOSE sound system etc.

The issue I noticed is that that engine "eats" oil but I learnt it was because of the type of oil used.

I have driven it so, I know.


Side by side, many people still drive their FX 35 for years and people are still buying but what about the Murano?


There is a reason that people run away from Nissan Murano.

cc:
barrydee

Murano and fx35 utilize same engine but FX35 uses pure Automatic transmission while Murano uses CVT. When Murano first arrived naija the normal automatic transmission fluid was used which caused mass failure.

Next is the transfer case for the 4wd model it leaks oil if not noticed early it fails and bye bye to your transmission.

Apart from those easily avoided scenario Murano is a driver's car anyway anytime

Abeg permit me to call some people name that are generally mentioned here.,
Abeg help a bro

Both cars are reliable and readily available parts. though the Civic has higher ground clearance than the Accord. which ever you buy you are covered

You again no meat for you this year

jidobaba:
Thanks bro. What about the 4runner? Do you think it's a better choice overall? I dey fear expensive engine o.

The 4runner, Prado uses same engine, the only difference is FJ has only 1 Engine 1GR while 4runner has a cheaper V8 engine and the Prado has an i4 engine, diesel etc in it's line up

plugchef:
Good morning to all the Auto guru's in the house, i intend buying a Honda Civic 2009. i am so scared of buying a car that is full of problem or the hand pulling off, kindly advice me if i should buy this car or run away.

No Honda Civic has ever pulled leg since inception in the 1970s and it won't start now. you are covered

jidobaba:
Bros and chairmen, what's the verdict on 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser? I think that's the year the engine was tuned to use regular fuel. I just like the spartan looks of the vehicle. Inside and outside.

The Engine was tuned for more horse power both Engines were required to use 91octane but 87 would do too but reduction in power.

The fj cruiser is identical to 4runner, Prado Lexus GX of same year, the only downside I feel is the 1GR which is an expensive Engine so take care of it.

Thank you for your time nor be only 1960 car does 100k car he nor better I buy bike or keke than to go carry 1960 car...baba fear God mAke I go car carry of 1960..when car for half a million 600k 550k full every where..tell ur own brother make he go buy 1960 cat

You are funny yet sassy

They won't even sell the car to you why will they sell something that fetches money regularly. Anyway my delving into that area is to tell you, you can make money through other transportation means not necessarily Uber. You should always read between the lines.

larryevil:
God bless you so much sir,pls sir which car can I buy with 500k that is all I have now and I want to buy buy any car with it that we be okay for me to feed my self and pay my rent..I don’t like staying home doing nothing

I don't know if your 500k car can be Uber certified. You can do the normal kabu kabu or those delivery things.

Naija used Suzuki every or it's other korope siblings. or golf wagon, Nissan primera wagon Mazda 626 wagon or Carina E or the avensis variant or Volvo 740. There is actually money in transportation.

I know a guy who uses Datsun wagon all those 1960s vehicle and makes 10k profit (after buying fuel, paying bus boy, repairing one or 2 things and buying drugs) every 2 days. There is more money in the forest regions of Southwest than Lagos but everybody wan do Uber

Smoking marijuana is actually a milder poison compared to smoking cigarettes. I hope he reads that part where it's written that 'Smokers are liable to die young' with grasp? If he hasn't, please put it to his notice.

I need a self realized man who has found himself and isn't dabbling, or at least not confused and always contemplating suicide every fortnight of each month. I don't need kids, age isn't just a contributory factor, I think maturity is just a personal thing. He, isn't mature, and until he does, we can never rock and roll.

And for your notice, I'm not a therapist nor do I run a rehabilitation center where I harbour people and have the intention to want to change their habits. I'm human as well. If his parents failed in raising him as a fine gentleman, then that's his hassle, and not mine. We can't totally change our habits, then why try to change other people? I hope he finds peace.

Subtle Rejection noted. I wish you good luck in your search

UyaiIncomparabl:
Yeah right! Alfa male online, warm water offline. You'll surely support your ilk. What do you have to say about the part where I wrote about his nasty habits?

he smokes cigarettes still mild compared marijuana, he drinks better than a chronic alcoholic and used to womanize he has stopped the womanizing, you can trim the other nasty habits, you are a very intelligent being I am certain you are upto the task.

As for supporting him, what are friends for and not all sheep that walk with dogs eventually taste feaceas.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Age, in his stead is quite considerable. He acts, writes and yaps like a kid! He has nasty habits which I can never condone from any man. He smokes, drinks and womanizes with reckless abandon. Those are turn offs, seriously. Another pointer, he's an atheist. I need someone who knows and have a good relationship with the Lord, he mustn't necessarily be overtly religious, but he has to be morally upright. He curses God out loud and isn't remorseful. I'll never refer him to anyone who needs his LOVE.

Don't be judgmental (no offence) Not everything one writes online is right, also you can't judge ALL books by their cover, he may be loud online but once you get to know him he is as sweet and warm like blackcurrant in real life.

UyaiIncomparabl:
LOL. If na only that guy remain for this whole wide world, then I'll rather perish a spinster. Besides, I said 31-37! I need full grown adults.

But I followed your school of thought that "Age is just a number"

Also we find LOVE in strange and mysterious circumstances.

UyaiIncomparabl:
How old is he?

don't bother again you just bashed him because he wanted to commit suicide. Yes it's him my 27years old guy.

UyaiIncomparabl:
LOL. Tell am say I dey wait am for here.

Your post is a joke after all. Don't bother again, have a lovely day.

SkinnyNigga:
then let him come forward and answer..

Come forward and answer what? nah you dey feed am

bro go and have a good night rest, when he feels better he would show face.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Okay. I've replied.

Reply seen, he would contact you, he is currently down now if the offer still stands when he recovers he would definitely contact you.

SkinnyNigga:
you dont know anything..

I don't need to know anything, he is hail and hearty and I still repeat he is just down

SkinnyNigga:
he did. his line has been off since yesterday. his neighbours confirmed it. i am shocked

stop spreading what you don't know. He hasn't killed himself he is just down that's all.

Good evening bro pls what do u no about Mazda 6 2004 car because many people here are telling me not to buy Mazda car spoil very easily..but when I want to see this car it was okay and the guy use it for Uber which I want to be using also and it is my first car I just lost my job

The Mazda 6 is not a bad car but it is not the wisest choice for uber considering

1. Not a popular brand and model on road so parts would not be easy to source

2. if the engine is pure Mazda not the Mazda/Ford joint venture engines, if there is a fault technician without the expertise can compound your issue.

3. Uber is for profit and you can only maximize profit by having less.down time do you prefer to be sourcing technician around while you stay offline due to one fault or the other.

4. There are cost effective and cheaper vehicles in the price category of the Mazda that are more economical to purchase than Mazda 6.

5. Uber is a 7days knock about vehicle, vehicle would breakdown and need assistance from technician won't you be happy that every tom dick and Harry mechanic can fix your problem or you prefer to run to your technician Everytime your Mazda develops fault. if your vehicle can't get to the technician what will you now do.

6. In business we buy what we need not what we want, every Uber driver WANTS to use Benz S class but what he really NEEDS is Toyota Yaris.

Night 1

No serious attack all through the night. At around 3 - 4 am, I couldn't find any around the bed and the walls, nothing.

However, upon waking this morning I perceived a bite around my upper arm. Then I saw a tiny bedbug laying obviously weak on my bed spread, it was already drying. Thanks.

Sniper works but doesn't eradicate them. There eggs are tiny and layed in cracks where sniper can't penetrate.

The solution to bed bug is to fight them in all rooms including living room you can leave kitchen and toilet.

Then get yourself an engineer heat gun those handheld used by phone engineer to heat phone panel and an extension long enough to follow you and maneuver. Use the heat on wood and metal surfaces and see them and their egg fry to pieces then get kerosene mix GO90 into it 2 bottles to 1 or 2L kerosene and spray. I use coke 1L bottle and nail to make a small hole on the cork and I spray without mercy.

Do these often if you have children who bed wet and you will become bed bug free

The topic is self-explainatory I assume.

I will be clocking 35 years old next month, on the 21st, so time isn't on my side any longer. I'm so tired as to the threats friends and my parents have been dishing out to me recently. I really think I need to settle down. I'm a very fair skinned beautiful young woman, age is just but a number, you should know that. I'm petite and a bit bulky at my bossom region, not so bulky though (smirks). I'm highly intelligent and in dire need of someone who's highly intelligent than I am. I'm very Sapiosexual.

For starters, I'd appreciate if you're dark skinned, but if you're a little on the light side, I might consider you but I'll appreciate better that you will not be as light skinned as I am. You must be very rich, please. If your parents are also rich, then that's an added advantage to your CV. You mustn't be ugly. You must be very neat. No short men please. 6ft and above, but not too tall either.

Ages 31-37. You must be based in Canada or the USA, having a citizenship of either countries is a very sacrosanct advantage. You know how Nigeria is these days. I'm tired of the stress it gives me, I really don't like stress. I'm too soft.

I admire charismatic men, so if you think you fit my profile, do not hesitate to hit me up.

I repeat, only if you fit my profile. I don't want kids sending me mails. I'll be irate if this happens, and hell usually let loose when I'm very irate.

Nairalanders, I'm tensed please. Make this easy for me, and you too of course. Let's be positive.

Amuocha, I believe you can call on your master to take this to the front page, thanks.

Lalasticlala. Mynd44. Farano.

I know an acquaintance who fit your description, if you are serious reply my mention if not don't bother, he recently got heartbroken and you know once bitten twice shy.
