If you get 5.75m(5,750,000) five million seven hundred and fifty thousand naira, zero kobo buzz me for a naija used well cared for MK2 GTI manual transmission with a transplanted 1.8T engine.

It is not negotiable. If you buzz me to negotiate I will insult you.

@htdot come and see better 2008 camry rival tokunbo less than 3m. No be by force to drive toyota, this Hyundai Sonata is also reliable and strong

40% pay rise that will be equal to 200% rise in goods and services, las las the increment would not be felt.

So I earn 100,000, 40% increase is 140,000.

40% increase of bag of rice 35,000 to 49,000
Soup say 10,000 for a month now 14,000
Protein 20,000 a month now 28,000
Fuel 200L say 50L a month now 500 by 50L 25,000

By the time we add others, inflation would make the increment a GREEK GIFT

But i read that the Pilot engine has a way of shutting down parts of the engine to conserve fuel.

Both 4runner and pilot are quite on the heavy side, i feel the 4runner is heavier being a truck frame

In 2006 honda added a J35 engine with VCM for the FWD variant which shuts down 3 cylinders on light loads. But the early VCMs were very problematic. Avoid any VCM honda engine from 2006 to 2012.

The problem with tino is as u stated abt the CVT issue, what's the best way to spot it out as lost dealers might not be truthful regarding

Or is it just heat to go for manual drive jeje

SR20DE has a circular coils for the plug, while the QG18DE has like a rectangular coils.

Pix 1 and 2 is the SR20DE

Pix 3 is the QG18DE could be black or silver in colour as I found out.

omotolsy:
Its just based on some YouTube reviews watched, experienced mechanics mentioned that its got a lot of issues with transmission & failed radiator issues but what do i know?

That is why i am asking here and if you feel you know something please advise/educate. Dont ask questions for questions.

Nah you talk say the pilot no good nah, and I dey ask for reasons.

The pilot is good sha from the days of joint venture with Isuzu 1998 to 2002 to honda standalone 2003 upwards. The only disadvantage I see is fuel economy, pilot is a 7/8 seater V6 engine, if you don't need all that space.and engine power, buy a CRV instead

Hollawayn05:
Thanks cheif
Which will you recommend bwt Micra and tino, to move around withing small axis, drop kids off school, need a small car that can save me fuel

Micra is the almighty fuel saver the question is can it fit the children and their luggage?

Both vehicles are distinct if micra can fit ur daily load capacity then buy but the Tino with its 1.8L engine isn't bad on fuel economy

oladele239:
How does one identify all these types

1. VIN/Chasis search

2. Check engine bay you should be able to differentiate a hybrid fitted bonnet from non hybrid. The SR20DE has a black plastic cover, the QG18DE does have a cover engine is bare with the 4 coils ontop showing.

3. Ask for the services of an expert to assist in the purchase.

Hello experts.

The above topic is for experienced car experts.

Which do you advise?

From my little research i know it's best to stay away from 2003-2005 Honda Pilots.

4RUNNERS are more expensive, is it because they are better?

Kindly share your thoughts/experience/advise.

Thank you.

Under what premise should one stay away from the pilot?

somehow:
Thank you

But...

The recommended oil is 0W20

Does this not matter?

It does.

If your vehicle is of high mileage it's better to increase the viscosity to avoid oil burn reason I said switch to 5W30, that won't damage your engine

somehow:
You asked for the brand.


Full synthetic Mobil 1
0w20

Good

Switch to mobil 1 5W30 and study the oil guage

somehow:
2012 Camry SE
Mobil 1

Mobil 1 what? There are several mobil 1 if you don't know snap the gallon make we advice you

Somebody should pls help me,about a litre of water was found at the basement of my fuel tank 3days ago. Before then I had been having issues with my acceleration. It stopped its ability to move up the speed ladder in correspondence to my acceleration, thereby causing me issues. All these while,water had damaged my fuel pump,and it was using force to work. Now I am back to gambling with fuel pump.got one from an igbo shop,the car starts and shuts down immediately,called 3 diff mechanics ,they all said its fuel pump. I then replaced the emergency pump I had,and it did work well for like an hour,after which it will start vibrating the engine ,low idle speed ,almost coming to a stall. I went back to the sho and he gave me another one,with guarantee that If it doesn't work,he will love to see my car. Pls what is the price of original fuel pump. I have bought more than 6,they are all like fake,would work perfect for 3 months,then pack up after.

You have changed 6 fuel pump and same issue, shouldn't that tell you your problem isn't fuel pump?

I have adviced you to sell the vehicle and buy something less complicated. Get a good mechanic, scan vehicle first and treat codes related to your issues.

somehow:
Okay, any reason and solutions?

What vehicle are you talking about

What brand of engine oil was used?

Hollawayn05:
Kindly explain the above in a local man's language
Lol

1.8L petrol engine is fitted with 4spd automatic transmission.

1.8L petrol plus hybrid power incorporated is fitted with a CVT transmission

2.0L petrol engine is fitted with CVT transmission

Best to avoid nissan CVT of those.years

Bros c180 kompressor no get turbo o

Supercharger should be the M271

htdot:
Why would you sell a nigeria used camry you bought for 5300 dolar (, clearing inclusiv) that you have for for 3year for 4300 usd?

1. Car price is not a function of years the car is used but rather the condition the vehicle is currently in. Reason why a 2008 camry used for 1year won't have same price across board even if both had same accessories and same specs.

2. Naija used prices have gone up because inflation has occured. It would cost more to get tokunbo of replacement of what one is selling reason why prices too have to go up. What you bought for $1000 2 years ago has appreciated in value because of inflation.

3 demand and supply basic economics rule the more the demand, the more the cost price

4. Leave toyota buy Renault they are far cheaper and reliable too

ReformerD:
9h, my car engine cost 1.3m

Besides, i figured the issues, it was the turbo engine that causing the smoke not the car engine

Turbo charged engines are very sensitive.

1. Did you use Mobil 1 original extended performance 5w30 oil?

2. When turbo is faulty they don't work on it, new unit should be bought and replaced I learned this from VOLVO and VW

3. Those 2011 hyundai and their GDI and turbo engines especially the NA ones aren't very reliable especially when they land in naija with our low quality fuel and I'll trained specialist. But I understand no be everybody wan drive toyota.

oladele239:
Manual not an option for me

1.8L petrol 4speed auto

1.8L hybrid CVT

2.0L petrol CVT

No go buy one with CVT so you won't cry tomorrow. Manual transmission is the best for this vehicle especially if nah for transportation.

somehow:
Please, is it normal for oil in the car to dry up within 3-4 months when the car isn't driven daily nor does it use up to 15-20 hours in total per week?

It's not normal, my mind dey tell me say nah toyota be the car

Mechanic handled a neighbors W203 with the Turbo engine should be the C180 kompressor, they have warned him severally to leave the vehicle alone he can't handle it.

I was peeping at my window as a peeping TOM that I am, na so I hear gboa, engine come catch faya it was put off sha but the car remained in that position till the owner left a year later

No. Not volvo but VOLUVO, it's a premium club and their moto is to believe they are the best even though the odds are not in their favor

Yes there is a car club here in my location.

It's called VOLUVO

eanestca:
Good evening house

Please am stuck between
Honda crosstour v6 2010 and
Acura mdx 2008

Both are toks, which is more reliable?

Crosstour with VCM is dicey except maybe you pick 2013 upwards.

The MDX is reliable but not good on gas

Oghodua:
bros how can I upload my passport? I have tried using my phone to change the passport format from jpeg to jpg yet it is still on jpeg and not uploading? Do you have or know of any app that I can use to change the format?

Yes you can do it online there are sites for that just google it.

2. You can use ES file explorer to change the extension name from jpeg to jpg once you change extension name and your phone gallery opens it, gbam you don hammer.

3. Pix size must not be less than 50kb and more than 100kb

Obalende to Ogudu (using 3rd mainland bridge) is around 25km, do it 4 times to and fro between the hours of 10:30am to 1:30pm when the road is very free

Over 3yrs since I made this post, prophecy fulfilled

What prophecy exactly?

Last time I checked VOLUVO is still the same ugly, old A55 vehicle to ride on earth
