The issue now id that the pedal is dropping..no brake at all

Vibration when brake is applied has to do with worn out brake discs and solution is to replace brake disc and then put fresh brake pads along. Why going to touch ABS I no understand.

Anyway, start from scratch and check your brake lines for rupture, then replace with exactly what was removed

I used my last card to buy a Chevrolet Aveo 2007, I wan to use it for bolt business, I have changed the engine because the other was too weak to carry a.c, so now I have a new engine but I want to know if the car is reliable, thank you

My sister has been using hers for like 8 months, I drove it once, has good legroom, responsive acceleration, bland interior, very good AC, good ground clearance but don't ever, I repeat don't ever wade in pool of water, no enter flooded roads I believe the air intake position is very bad

How are we sure you're not igwebuike doing free adverts for yourself.

He isn't, he is too clean and fresh to even be a mechanic also his hands are soft like puffpuff

Honda element, Pilot or CRV

Nissan pathfinder, qashqai

Kia sportage, mohave

Hyundai Tucson, ix35

Volvo XC90, XC60, xc70

Cx9 isn't bad as its same thing as ford edge very identical, but I would choose some brands b4 it

seanwilliam:
Good morning Chief
Attached are the pics
And comparing the prices , which is more expensive and which one will add ‘ STATUS’ to person .. coming from someone with little to zero knowledge on cars.
Beauty, design , performance, luxury , class etc pls boss. Thank you

Status well we go pick lexus but the ES has been bastardized, nah yahoo boy car, he full everywhere like pure water.

That corolla isn't that common but looks sporty and beautiful on the inside, it is still a basic ride sha. But if I were in your shoes I would pick the lexus, I love powerful ride, good accessories and gadgets which the ES has more than the corolla ofcourse lexus is luxury assured

seanwilliam:
pls which did you finally choose?
Cc: Nurey , pls which between the two will you choose if money is not the problem .. for a layman pls

The Corolla 2014 and Lexus es350

Luxury buy the ES350 more luxurious the corolla isn't bad but it's a basic ride

VeryWickedMan:
We are not buying from Google, we are buying from you sir.

Show us the charger you brain dead scammer.

Seems you never seen Nissan leaf before, even Hyundai KONA is all electric and there are private citizens using it all over Lagos.

Charging these vehicles isn't rocket science

lindseykibler:
Please I need advise urgently. I want to purchase a small car tomorrow. I’m considering either buying Lexus ES 350 or Hyundai Sonata. Please which one is more durable and easy to maintain ? My budget is 4m to 5m. If there is recommendations for any better car I can also get between that range please let me know. Thank you

With your price quote.am certain its sonata 2011 yo 2015 you dey talk about with those GDI engines, nah larimo we dey call am ( bad investment) if nah V6 still okay but those 4cylinder GDI engines I would rather buy a ES350 but then a 2013 upwards accord is appealing though

LeJeun3:


Prices on this #thread have more than doubled .....

My brother no be small thing, Total 20w50 5L is almost 10k now nah wetin our engine dey drink now

AZ 1L is 2k
Ammasco 1L 1800 now all those oil we used to stay far away are now poor man's succour

adeniranfam:
How much is it and how many do i need ?

If you need expert advice, parts and general information on nissan talk to the moniker in the link

https://www.nairaland.com/nissparts

Do your necessary due diligence too

RainValley:
The CRV is a poor attempt at a light recreational vehicle. It makes Honda look bad. I don't even want to tell you about how bad that vehicle is fairing.

I hope you know I am using an honda CRV that landed in naija in 2010 still factory engine and gear. No dey cap carelessly please

RainValley:
I am really disappointed. How can you be talking about Audi 80 in 2022. We are not talking about cars that your father will buy, we are talking about Cars that you yourself will buy... Bros if you have the money what brand of car will you buy. Help me shame devil.

If I have money right now the only car on my mind is a mini cooper Clubman

RainValley:
Audi? Haba Bros. It was in the past that Audi reigned in Benin now? now it's either Benz, Lexus or Toyota. You hardly see Honda's.

I am telling you Audi 80 pass corolla and camry join together and benz W202 Sara 4 Benin pass anything, you only see toyota lexus once in a while even benz GLE Sara 4 yahoo boys hand, nah their trade mark be that.

It's a good car as long as you buy one in good condition and maintain it well.

The body parts are very very very expensive (doors, boot, headlamps)

The engine and transmission is very very very very very very very very not pocket friendly

Doesnt mean you shouldn't buy but ensure you use the recommended fluids and change at the right time

RainValley:
Really? I hardly see any of your government agencies or officials commissioning Honda's. Why? Why are they always coming for Toyota's?

Why are the Northern governors not buying Honda pickups for your security agencies? Bros Honda is not doing well anywhere in Nigeria.

Here in Benin kingdom nah Audi, benz and nissan we know, we no dey use toyota or Honda

adeniranfam:
What about changinh it every 6month

Changing it every six months is extreme but if you have the money, no problem. Heat is what kills CVT faster reason I said to fix an external transmission cooler to help reduce heat especially this our bad traffic prone environment

adeniranfam:
I just bought this car from auction export with $3,000 and according to the review i have read online, Nissan products are becoming scary to use.

I would like to hear from nissan users. What have you experienced so far about their product ? Do we have experts that can fix it here ? What do you think about CVT transmission ? Can this car cover a long distance without having problem?

It's a reliable vehicle all round. The engine is very okay too but the transmission is where the problem may occur often. Ensure you get the original nissan CVT transmission fluid along with the vehicle.

Nissan. Resale value is also whack in Nigeria just enjoy it for some years and sale it to someone who like to drive rare vehicle

Change transmission fluid every year if possible to extend the transmission life and for the love of God ensure the fan isnt run direct and don't let the vehicle overheat, the transmission gets itself cooled from the radiator if possible afix an extra external cooler.

That is a Nissan serena bus not made by toyota

For every full tank, buy octane booster join.

Using regular fuel can cause pinging, damage to catalyst leading to engine failure as honda is unforgiven, you can also have engine issues like detonation.

bonnyhope:
Oga what's your testimony on MAXXIS tyres

I want to get new ones

Never used it b4, but back then it was of good quality don't know about now

iWing1:
I made my mind to get a 2011 Camry XLE, should I go for the 4Cyl or v6. Fueling it wouldn't be my problem though but it's gonna be a daily driver from home to work mostly and long distances (From Lekki to Oshogbo - Ilorin) once in a while. Kindly advise. Thanks.

I will go with the i4, the 2.5L 4 cylinder has enough power for all it's worth, less stops at fueling station, better gas mileage and can run as fast as other cars on the highway

Originalsly:
Hmmm.... which brand is the yardstick for reliability? There is a good reason why those going on expeditions..... terrorists going on missions.... in remote areas almost always ... always choose Toyota.

@ topic... still.waiting to hear what Peugeot has over Lexus to justify the higher cost. I suspect it is less about the quality of car..... but about cost of production.

Know this car?

No brand is, depends on how many complaints are reported at a certain time by owners.

That 508 is packing though, but once we see anything Lexus, most believe nothing can beat it in luxury.

Your pix is a 407

Dynamicboss:
A turbocharge 4 cylinder engine made in Europe can confidently defeat V6 Japanese brand engine

This is fallacy of Racism, an engine having turbo doesn't mean it is faster than its NA counterparts.

Siberia01:
I have observed that the Peugeot 508 is more expensive than Lexus ES350.... Have checking across
Retailers and jiji

Considering the fact that the Lexus is more luxurious with Good trimmed interior

While the Peugeot is mostly plastic interior ( my opinion)

The Lexus comes with 3.5L V6 and more powerful than the Peugeot ( I guess)

I don't know In terms of handling and others

But I know European cars tend to have a good highway performance and handling than the Japanese


BTW

I think the Peugeot is too overpriced abeg

You have not driven the Peugeot 508 and don't know what features it comes with. Toyota or Lexus is not the yardstick for reliability or luxury.

In other words, with what the 508 is packing, it can comfortably stand toe to toe with the ES. It's more expensive because it is packed full of options and techs

So now nah to snatch and still kidnap pipu join

Cc Marpol help move to front page, may the vehicle and the occupants be found hail and hearty

arthurwillia:
Infact thanks a lot for this
They told me v6 burns gas more than v4 that’s why I’m going for v4, the v4 is very scarce also

So what’s your take on this

I4 has better fuel economy than V6 means you will buy less gas for each km moved with an i4 engine provided every other thing is in order.

But am talking of oil burn ( engine oil)

arthurwillia:
Someone one wants to buy a car and the mileage is about 242474miles for about 2.3 million, is it good enough? Please help I know nothing about cars

That's almost 400,000km though I am not worried about the car itself I bought one at 500,000km and used it for 8years still factory engine and factory gear.

But the 4cylinder highlander has the 2azfe engine known for extreme oil burn, I would prefer you find one with the V6 engine

If people find it hard to buy tokunbo corolla would they be able to afford brandnew one at 7m plus?

The real issue is affordability and purchasing power cause those that can afford 7m cars would rather buy something else

Toyota WS transmission fluid is the recommended r Replacement fluid

Rad is even cheaper in my own Workshop, I charge 1k first to pass through the gate of my establishment

Then you pay 500 for parking and 200 naira for every extra hour your car stays, this ensures nosy customers trying to disturb the technicians are eliminated.

You register your car with a non refundable fee of 20k which covers dealer high end scanning, scan result and a worksheet of what needs to be done. Whether you implore us to fix or not is left to you. We give the scan results to compliment the money paid.

I charge 5k every hour for SUV and CUVs their engine bay is easier to work on

I charge 7k every hour for sedans and midsized vehicles.

I charge 10k flat for compact vehicles cause the engine bay is very tiny, I need to unbolt alot of parts to fix small issues.

sooperrescue:
Great. I am yet to go there. Did you by chance enter the workshop. I was told that they have the means of determining the cause of engine oil shortage and the solution. This will reduce the frequency of buying used engines in the market. Maybe I should invite you when I am going there.

I didn't enter the workshop just their office. I am not in lagos anymore though so may not be opportune to go with you
