skywalker240: kid, you just want to speak to be noticed
with good negotiation, a Nigerian used corolla can be bought for that amount, dont come here and form woke. Listen when elders speak. Nobody in his right sense would sell a 1 year registered or less than 2years corolla 2003 to 2007 model years less than 2m. |
Car Talk › Re: Is The Honda Civic Good For A 6.4 by nurey(m): 9:37am On Jul 27, 2022 |
Nigeriaiscasted: Good morning house. I am contemplating getting a Honda Civic (I have once owned a Honda eod terrible experience) (and I once owned a pencil Toyota Camry) reasons is because it doesn’t pull legs out tho I am skeptical about anything Honda.
Another thing I observed is the car is too short for me as I am a 6.4 and I want to avoid any thing that will make me slouch.
Will it be comfortable for me or I should wait till December to get a big daddy?
Your suggestions will be well appreciated Cars are made to fit many sizes, I am 6.2 and driven the civic b4 and very comfortable, just adjust the seat to fit a comfortable position for yourself. |

Gist247: Honestly, I never knew there was an extensive car section here on NL until I started doing research on buying a car.
So a little backstory.
I've had my eyes on a 2008 ES350 Lexus that is on sale for 3.2M for a while not sure what the mileage is but recently my friend is pitching his second really neat toks Honda Civic 09 car with 170k mileage for me to buy at 3m. I've seen the car and it's really nice plus he assured me that it's good quality. I know and trust him there so no issues there.
I just want some clarification on a couple of things as I'm not too loaded like that but I can def pay up for the car.
Here are some concerns.
1. Is the civic 09 really worth 3m or should I just go for my 3.2m ES350? 2. What are we vital questions to ask him before I go for it? 3. Is that high mileage an issue? 4. General advice for a newbie car owner?
T for thanks everyone. The 09 civic told is better here apart from the fact that the ES is more luxurious with tremendously better build quality. The civic maintenance is pocket friendly, it has honda top notch reliability, good fuel economy, simplistic engine and transmission. 170k mileage is quite okay if its kms the maintenance history from previous owner is the koko |

Op no sabi say im parts go fit all the cars you mentioned before he decided to fling it like okrika clothing 
With the kind of hyperinflation happening presently,keeping that vehicle isn't good business..Op knows this, and it's quite sad you don't
Abeg buy the vehicle off the Op make we learn from your mistake  I don't understand you even if nigeria starts getting things right, from this moment the naira won't gain enough to be 300naira to a dollar. Those that bought 2006 corolla for 1.6m 10years ago are selling naija used 2m plus now.

I can count how many of the vehicle I see on the road sef....Parts might bring in a good return, but who go buy? ..
Past sellers who might be interested in buying couldn't buy the car whole..why then would they want to buy it more expensively as parts? The engine is 1GR which is 1million plus as tokunbo, if you wan buy engine and he sells naija used one for you at 500k half tokunbo price, won't you jump at it. I know for sure that parts of goods command considerable amounts just part sellers would also like to buy everything cheap and make 1000% profit on money spent. Engine 500k Transmission 150k Complete exhaust sys with catalyst can go for 200k or more Compressor 50k Radiator 20k Complete steering rack 150k Complete chassis 200k 5sets of alloy rim with tyres to match 100k Etc From my list you would have arrived at 1.250 and still other parts to sell |

Car Talk › Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by nurey(m): 8:00am On Jul 19, 2022 |
Stubborn82: Good day good people
I drive honda accord 2005, though I do not usually drive it like that. At least once in a week I do drive it.
Yesterday I drove it to church, on my way coming back home I noticed the D light blinking, then a reverse light shows up while driving. Before now, when I turn on ignition the D light shows up and goes off withing a second but now the light is blinking, some time it goes normal or not even show up at all.
When I reach home I do some research on Google, one of the cause was to check the ATF level which I did this morning, and truly the level was below the first hole.
Now, where I got lost is, can I add ATF or flush out the one that is inside and refill it with new one, because I don't know the fluid that was there before, and I don't know the previous owner as to ask him with ATF he was using on it.
Budget is tight right now, I want to know which fluid to buy in the case if I can't get original dw1. Thanks If you cannot buy honda DW1 park the car and take public transport, any other fluid you use apart from the recommended, B4 2years runs out, you will be shopping for a replacement gear box. DW1 you need 4Ls should not be more than 30k, do a drain and refill which will last another 2years. |

CC mynd44 Cruise is used for highway driving (interstate) when the road is free, with cruise control on, the car would maintain the speed you set only decelerating when brake pedal is used. That way you can rest your legs and just focus on the road ahead Overdrive no much talk just use it especially when towing a trailer or anything else it is on when not displayed on dash and off when displayed on dash. It should be left ON for normal driving |

MOTOROLA A1000 1. I used desktop to charge it for over 2months, couldn't find the charger. Then the chargers I bought in CV were all fake, I couldn't charge the phone while on, as soon as I put charger, it would switch off so I could only charge it while off, this lasted for 6months till I was able to buy used charger from a Guru repairer for 2k back then in 2005 or so  2. I took the phone for upgrading and since then it wouldn't stay booted, anytime I tried to call out, it would switch off and restart so I couldn't make call with it. I didn't enjoy the phone for the almost 2years I had it but I was glad I sold it for 10k, I bought it around 25k and people who saw it thought I bought it for 100k back then. I enjoyed it sha, it was one of the most advance Symbian gaming phone after the nokia N-gage QD

SAMMY4352: Good day everyone. Is it advisable to buy a naija used Acura MDX 2001-2003 model on a monthly income of 150k? I won't be using it for everyday driving though, and my reason for considering it is due to 1. It's stylish design 2. It will be used to move goods in bulk once in a while 3. It's within my budget range ie 1.2m to 1.6m What's the maintenance cost like? The first generation MDX 2001 to 2006 was plagued with transmission issues though a bit reduced in 2005 and 2006, just ensure the specimen you are buying has a good transmission and the recommended fluid DW1 was used and changed as at when due. |

ChristineC: thanks. for a G35 for instance. the tank is under the back seat. I'm told the exhaust need to be cut for the tank to come down and I don't really want all that damage in my absence. so I want to know if there's another technique or liquid that can do a trick. Remove the seat, fuel pump assembly has to come out then either drain the fuel from the external tank drain hole under the vehicle or look for a manual way to pump out excess fuel (hose and a bucket should do) You would need big foam, I don't need to tell you no flammable object near the work place. What you would likely see is muddy petrol towards the bottom, rusted metal fillings, the foam can be used to remove all these and petrol is a good detergent in washing the tank. Use foam to remove remaining dirt, bolt back the fuel pump assembly, pour your clean fuel back, that's all. As long as the fuel pump can come out from the back seat, I don't see the need to drop the tank, foam would get yo all corners even if the tank is compartmental. |
