Hello guys, please I need your suggestions. My friend is about buying a car, 2017 Honda Accord to be exact. He has the option of choosing between a tokunbo car and a Nigerian used that was bought brand new in 2021 from Honda dealership in Lagos. The person that owns the Nigerian used car is selling because he is relocating from the country. The tokunbo is expensive because of the import duties and all but he really doesn’t mind. He just wants to know which will be better. The Nigerian used is tokunbo standard clean from the pictures but his worry is that he believes that even though they’re both Honda cars, he feels that the one produced for the American market will be more durable and reliable than the ones sent to the West African markets. Could this be true? Should he go for the Nigerian used since it is significantly cheaper than the tokunbo?

a 2021 honda accord bought new in nigeria is a good deal. carry your technician along and scan, let him certify the condition, all those tokunbo too are used vehicles and mostly accidented and packaged.

wait you bought a 1mzfe with VVti for 540k toyota owners dey suffer sha. engine ooo without transmission even if it has compressor, alternator and kickstarter 540k for 1mzfe is fu*king expensive. engine that was 120k in 2019 nawa ooo

Just wondering if one can use them as temporary home in some state in Nigeria instead of buying land or renting apartment in far away states

Yes you can, Govt has no problem with that. But it's a vehicle, expect serious trouble in tout infested areas cause you have to get sticker of all those haulage vehicles whether your plate is blue or Red.

My car is a 07/08 Toyota Camry V6 , with a 22 pin gearbox , i first noticed that my reverse was jerking and will eventually off whenever i try to reverse . A computer scan was done , plugs were checked , and none was the issue , then my mechanic suggested we visit a gear box specialist who eventually charged me over 250k to change the valve body , pump and one other item I have forgotten, but then after all that, the gear performed fairly okay with the reverse working , but after a few weeks, the movement became so dull and the movement become so slow and doesn’t select fine .

Am actually tired and frustrated on trying to fix anything again, which leaves me with considering changing the entire gearbox , please experts here, what would you suggest I do and that would work ?
Also I noticed my gear doesn’t enter into S anymore , Only P, N , R, D , because my car has S in the gear selection, please advice me what I can do

Thank you

Buy new tokunbo direct gear box. Your gearbox is U660E and a bit expensive around 500k or so. But when fixing they must be extremely careful cause dirt is the major killer of that transmission which is introduced when doing shaft or suspension work.

Thanks for your reply, but my friends Carina e is Salon 2.0 precisely,

I also observed that the car is not too common expecially in Abuja, drivers in Abuja prfare Nissan or Mazda, most of the Carina e I have seen are looking so tantant and unkept.

People are saying the parts are scarce.

Please can you share Me more light as regards to that sir.

If the parts are scarce its because of your location. CARINA E = toyota Avensis 1998 to 2002. So if you see that Avensis the part is same to carina E.

But my advice use what is common in your location yo gain people trust and easy of maintenance.

Yes it is, especially the wagon variant.

Babaken:
With budget of 5m can I get Toyota sienna 07 or 08 direct Belgium.

Or if I get someone in US can 5m buy ship and clear it in Lagos.

I don't want any Nigeria used car.

Bought 05 6m december. Not possible but honda Odyssey maybe within your budget just avoid EX and touring trims

the Peugeot 206 safe fuel pass Corolla ?

Yes It does

The world is on hold currently interms of growth and financial aspect. Only war can loosen things up and that is what this power hungry leaders are seeking, world war to sell weapons plus destruction to rebuild again

No be today. Police will harass you, abuse their power in the end they will tell you to write statement of lies claiming you insulted the officer.

I try as much as possible to avoid the police, they align with highest bidder or trap people they know can give them raba when held

Normal mafian and mob memo, grab it and runaway with it byforce

Police rarely stop my car and ask for the docs but I think they are interested more in fresh plates who won't have the doc. Old plates they still accept the CMR. Only for sagamu to Ore checkpoints

Good morning gentlemen. Please, how effective is this car tracker? I was told to pay #30,000 for the tracker.

For the first time ever, I was able to login to the device and factory reset it using "admin" as password. I was also able to get the router password. I think I am cool now.

Your suggestions has been really helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Uwc

Stupidanimal:
The problem is, there is no reset button. Only the WPS button and a little hole I used to poke with a broom if I need to connect.

The router is connected to the computer as I type, but it doesn't reset - nothing. What I have is the upgraded interface with some weird russian interface.

Then look for another custom firmware that is in english and flash it on it. The issue you have is you don't understand russia language

There is this popular firmware mobilebroadband you can google for specific firmware to the model number.

Stupidanimal:
Thanks for the suggestion.

Reset the router and use 0000 or 1234, if that doesn't work. You need to connect the router to a computer it will automatically install the software with that you can reset everything necessary. Default user name and password is normally admin for both

Good afternoon.

Please do you know how much A/F sensor for Honda Accord 2010 cost?

Good work, it will reduce the number of sinners in this Holy Month of December

Smadav0909:
Good afternoon please. Please recommend a good car for a first timer between
Hyundai sonata and toyota camry, although I prefer hyundai because of price which is a little cheaper than toyota of same year range. And does hyundai sonata has second hand value ? My budget is 5m

Avoid 2010 to 2014 hyundai sonata and kia Optima those engines have a factory defect. So you a left with the camry

Hullabaloon:
Good evening great minds.

I'm looking to buy my first car. I practically know nothing about cars. Don't even know how to drive.

I'll be getting a Nigerian used. Budget is 3 to 3.5M

I've been seeing lots of 2008 Camry and Lexus Es 300 (2002 - 2004), and 2010 Honda withing that price range on jiji.

I work from home hence it's a car I'll barely use. Just getting it with the intention of having a ride before marrying a wife.

Should I get any of those two? Is there a better brand out there withing that price range?

What are the things I should look out for when going to get the car?

What kind of mechanic should I go with?

Pardon the plenty questions. I'm a total novice when it comes to cars. Don't even know what mileage means.

All your choices are very okay pick the accord first if you see a good unit, the 4cylinder is more reliable than that of camry and the parts are also available. Also it is solid all round and has that premium feel.

The ES is good too though a bit outdated it is still premium of your choice if you don't mind the year gap.

tmultinat:
Can anyone help me with the following answers please.

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S20 5G on eBay with Sprint network lock. It's not reading Sim cards here . Is it possible to unlock it? If yes, how much am in Lagos.

Secondly I have a Samsung Galaxy Z flip 3 5G from Verizon. They say it's CDMA unlocked. Does this mean when the phone gets to Nigeria, there will be no sim card accepted? If yes whay can be done.

Thirdly, A Samsung Galaxy S20 was shipped to me and on arrival, I try charging it but it doesn't take charge and has an error not on all chargers ..what can be the problems

You can unlock the S20 5G but it will cost you.

If the Z flip 3 is a CDMA phone you just bought crap cause no CDMA network except maybe MTN still has CDMA

Charging error could be due to the panel or debris or probably those chargers are fake. Buy an original one that works with it and sell with the original charger

Tucode:
Truth is I really like the 2017/18 Honda CR-V. It has everything I want. Good looks, nice interior, great gas mileage for a compact SUV. But I am still unsure about the 1.5l turbo engine and the oil dilution problem. Although I have read that the issue was mostly observed in colder climate regions. I'm thinking using the engine in Nigeria won't be much of a problem because of our weather. I'm ready to get the car now and that is the only compact SUV that is within my budget that ticks almost every box in my shopping list. More advice please.

There is no other advice than to do a VIN check first on the unit for sale then go along with a qualified technician for inspection of the unit, pay and enjoy.

Labelle:
Experts in the house. Please help me clarify this, I have been arguing with my friend about brand new tyres and how its is mandatory for them to have those small threads if they are truly brand new. But my friend says it is not a must.

Please who is correct here?

First off those small things are called hairs not threads. All new tires should have it as it is excess rubbers left over during manufacture of tire.

But rethreaded tires don't have it depending on the process of rethreading the tire.

Good car 3.5L or 3.7L all good. The fuel economy isn't too friendly sha watch out for the timing belt that one fit knack 3star for road
