The Happy sales wey I don wish am since. I even asked for price sef

11.5m only

2special:
ok, I wasn't aware that there's electric power steering....

We learn everyday sir

2special:
have you checked the level of the power steering oil...Top it up

GS350 uses electric power steering. The system does not use power steering fluid since there is no rack and pinion accompanied with pump.

Raysleek:
Because you are saying only an insane person will do oil change at 2000kms. If you read my original post well wihout wanting to attack me you will see that I said the car isn't really brand new.

Bros I am tired of arguing sha, just wish the seller happy sales in order not to derail or spoil his market.

Raysleek:
You are abusing the meaning of brand new. There's a difference between new and brand new oga. From lagos to caeroun and back by road isn't even up to 1777miles equivalent of almost 3000km
So the car is new but not brand new

You sha wan use oyinbo dribble your way out sha

Okay but the ODO of that car is in km not miles.

Brand new or new vehicle which ever tickles your fancy always recommend "at least" 2000km before any oil change, which has been done by the dealership before been sold. But our argument is not about oil change but whether the vehicle is new or naija used.

Your 2000/2500km is for car wey don pass the manufacturer warranty of 100,000kms.

1000km is for engines that were just rebuilt to allow for break in.

Raysleek:
No hard feelings and i wish you well in your sales but Stop claiming to be a too know. A brand new car won't come with 1777 miles. That's 2800 plus miles. It's fairly new but not brand new. That's the mileage for and oil change.

That mileage is still good for a brand new car, not all cars leave factory on cranes and not all cars enter naija through lagos ports, other far away ports are functioning.

Most highly expensive cars are not driven on the road because of cost of repairs if it involves in an accident caused by reckless road users.

Number 2, no sane person would do a oil change for a brand new vehicle whose ODO reads 2000km.

If you hit a pedestrian in Nigeria run fast to the nearest police station to report and ask for help.

If you stay forming Mr good guy, mobs would burn your car, pummel you to stupor and eventually lynch you too.

Dozieson:
Honda DC is not 2m. It is about 2.2-2.6m depending on grade. Even good naija used DC is about 1.4 to 1.65m.

I agree that inflation is the major reason but it is easier to sell a Toyota car than a Honda car in naija. Mazda cars are very difficult to sell because the demand is low

Toyota sells more in naija because people believe it is the best in reliability and it doesn't break like other cars, which is true to a degree.

Honda accord is the most sold honda.in Nigeria but the resale value plummet because of the shaft collapse syndrome, that syndrome was a natural withdrawal of consumers in naija from all honda vehicle models. Tell any nigerian to buy honda and first thing he would as is he heard that the front leg always collapse

Nah people wey don drive several brands no dey shy away from any vehicle yes there are some mazda, nissan, honda you should shy away from but majority a still very ok.

Mazda is just more of a taxi vehicle to most people reason it isn't common.

Dozieson:
Sure but you will get more resale value from Toyota than any other car.

E.g , a friend of mine bought toks Toyota Corolla 2004 about 1.5m in 2019. Bidders wants to buy it for 1.7/1.8m

Most of you are wrong about the resale value any car bought in 2019 as tokunbo would be worth same tokunbo price in naija used now because of

1. Inflation in Nigeria economy

2. Naira depreciation against international currency.

Also a camry 2006 is worth 2.5m tokunbo and naija used around 1.8m, difference of 700k. A honda accord DC is worth 1.8 to 2m tokunbo and naija used is around 1.4m difference of 600k. The honda cost less to purchase and has a better value loss than the camry.

smasher1:
Alternator and battery is in good condition. Thanks

Then scan to pinpoint the problem, hope mechanic no work on your vehicle recently

smasher1:
Good day people,

Kindly assist on how to fix Lexus GS350 2008 with stiff steering wheel and grinding noise while turning. Also assist on pricing to change or fix the issue.

That's an electric power steering. Scan vehicle to pinpoint where you issue lies, also check alternator and battery if they are in good condition.

GAZZUZZ:
Who can know

Yours would be "THE BIAFRAN JOB" starring MNK

HeavenlyBang:
A 2012 Camry isn't more expensive than a 2012 A6, either toks or naija used.

Yes but a 2008 camry is more expensive than a 2008 passat and audi A6

HeavenlyBang:
Lol, not sure where you got this information. Go price a 2012 A6 and Camry and get back to us.

Naija used bro and am not talking about foreign used because oyinbo know value better than naija pipu

SchoolPedia:
Hello House,

I intend getting a naija used civic. The current owner claims car was bought brand new, so it doesn't have a customs paper. Moreover, there is no evidence or invoice it was bought brand new by the original owner.

I am afraid- will customs men disturb me on the road with this car.

Note: It's a 2006 Honda Civic. It's been registered and currently being used.


Thanks.

As long as your plate number isnt recent like Hx for lagos and the car is not shiny, you are good to go

dryakson:
Sorry for the misinformation. The woman actually bought it 3.7m, Nigerian used.
I thought it was Tok.... The car clean like Tok. I later asked her.
But still, it's not that expensive like the likes of Lexus, Benz... Considering the caliber of the car

Car price in Nigeria is not by caliber. A VW passat and Audi A6 are more loaded than a camry but camry is more expensive in value than them.

The 508 must have been bought brand new In Nigeria and was official vehicle of top Gov workers so its expected for it to be well maintained and still in mint condition with all things being equal.

dryakson:
Please can someone tell me why is this Peugeot cheap. Is there any factory defects or errors?

It's a 2014 Peugeot 508

Cheap, how much is the asking price. Though I haven't heard of any known defect about the 508, naija used retails around 5m now

bims198x:
@ nurey
Is it that the hardex gold viscosity is too thin/light and dries up even before the next oil change? Or does it also have any side effects on the engine when used?

Seems this brand does not have good customer reviews.

Thanks.

Leave it alone if you can. Buy other brands

Elcapitan0:
Thanks boss.
The crosstour is like 0.4in higher theoretically but then i researched the crosstour handles like a sedan which is a plus for me. Is the 2013 V6 Accord engine prone to VCM issues too? I thought the earth dreams V6 doesn't have the VCM? Personally, i don't drive anything less than a V6 [maybe I'll try all these turboed 4 cylinders in the future sha] and i don't like a 4 cylinders lugging around an suv body. To me the venza is also overpriced and i don't really like what its offering for its outrageous price too. Just a reliable 2GR, big cargo space and panoramic roof. The RX is way too costly but i like it is why im even considering if i can see a well maintained used.

Both 3.5L v6 offered in the accord crosstour has VCM, except the j30 in the china variant.

OfficialDJ:
at the bolded, an 09 rx350 is anything but "a beauty to behold"

The 2010? Yes. But never the 09

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder not a 3rd party

Elcapitan0:
Hello house, i just want to seek a second opinion on these choice of cars. Which do you guys think is best?
2013 Crosstour
2009 Venza
2009 RX 350
I have a budget of 5.5 - 5.8m and while i don't fancy nigerian used cars, i know my budget cannot get me the venza or RX but i may likely get the Honda.
I am a sedan guy mostly and i still prefer sedan but my new area road is just manageable and not great hence these choices.
I like having plentythings to press in a car

CC Heavenlybang
Nurey
Et al

Cross tour is not bigger than accord interms of ground clearance because its actually accord wagon. People tend to shy away because of the VCM in the V6 engine. But the 4 cylinder is okay.

The venza I don't see a correlation between its features and price point, its tad too expensive for its available options even among competition but nah toyota make am sha.

The RX is a beauty to behold, has good features but also an expensive option to buy.

But for bad roads, the RX would do fine and better than the rest. The crosstour would do fine too as long as the under doesn't scrap the ground and not a flooded area. But interms OF SOLID PARTS, my brother I know honda trumps toyota, their shocks, steering, bushings and all suspension parts of honda always last bad road or not. In essence look at the honda CRV and see whether you like it.

Zprince7:
pls i need a very cheap car to buy.
sellers pls comment.

Go to jiji enter filter and input your price point, you should see list of cars within your price point.

Focus on mazda 323, honda civic 19xx, toyota Corolla first lady 19xx, rover6xx with honda engine, Peugeot 305, acura CL 19xx, nissan sunny

Inspect b4 payment, make you no buy and park at mechanic shop

Digatron:
Good day gurus in the house. I need advise on choosing an SUV. Budget is 3m to 3.5m
Key point: reliability, easy to maintain, RUGGEDNESS and high resale value.
Am having in mind lexus rx300 2003, Acura mdx 2006, Honda pilot 2006 but still open to any recommendation.

CC
Everyone

1. Lexus RX300

3. Honda pilot

Leave the MDX though transmission brohaha

In primary school then, I thought 505 Evolution was the fastest car in the world, the way our driver handles the steering, steps on the throttle, zooms in and out of lanes, overtakes other drivers chai that car nah bomb back then

After hustling and buzzling in Kaduna ... I decided to head down south to Uyo , Akwa ibom to meet my people for the Christmas holidays..

Well, Uyo is a very nice and serene place with wide and smooth road networks...I actually enjoy staying there...than the hot sunny north

A family friend came over and we went out to pick somebody at the Victor attah international airport... since her flight was to land by 7 :15pm ( ibom air)

I don't really know the names of most roads in Uyo so pardon me

We were using a Crysler 300 but I don't know the engine displacement..


We started off from IBB avenue through Aka road to
Udo udoma avenue....

He decided to refuel at the NNPC mega station along the airport road....

As we were fueling ...a 2003 Toyota Corolla was behind us ...and a neat blue Peugeot 504 bestline in also branched to Fill up.. I didn't see who drove it because it had a little tint and it's glasses were Up.....

Paid the attendant and we zoomed off every body knows the 300 is a very fast car!!

The road leading to the airport was very wide ...smooth and OMG !...
He floored the 300 to about 110kmhr cause I was sitting in front ..enjoy some jamz with its AC...

Then I now pictured the corolla we had left ... In the wing mirror well... I lost interest and we were chatting..
The next moment the corolla disappeared and was replaced with the Peugeot... It was catching up fast

It had dusted the corolla

Well, not surprised The fuvking Europeans always keep doing this shits on the road !

My guy noticed as it was horning to overtake and a Kia cerato was Infront of us..

I told my guy to give it a gap... We increased to 120kmhr and over took the Kia ... The next moment...it overtook the Kia also
Still tailing us..

I just told him ... U no dey respect your elders...

And we gave it space .....
And the legend roared past us...

I could hear the engine roaring and it's AC was on...I think the engine was overworking.. well not bad for a
40year old Car.....

Before taking its own route we bid the legend farewell..

We took the other side to the airport...

Wow what a nice experience

120km/h is a very safe speed at highway for a vehicle in good condition. I don't see why a 40years car in good condition shouldn't humble you, even a 1.5L i4 engine would do 140km/h easily.

The major difference between different vehicles has to do with acceleration and top speed which is determined by several factors a manufacturer incorporates in the said vehicle.

A Bugatti doing 200km/h can be left behind by a lexus IS350 running at 220km/h

your 'neighbor' will soon drive the Tesla S plaid or its Cybertruck

Yes, it's not my fault I live in a wealthy neighborhood and I am doing well financially, if you focus more on your hustle, work on yourself and put your house in order, you may attain greatness slightly identical to mine.

Itsrm:
Neighbour using a hybrid highlander



Your neighbour using a Ford escape



Another neighbour using an XC90



There's no vehicle your neighbours don't use.

Do you actually think I have driven all those vehicles I give advice of? I may have owned a couple of them but definitely not all of them. Best advice comes from user experience which can be neighbours, friends, colleagues, siblings, acquaintances.

I am also a very friendly guy so I know and interact with a lot of people.

Dougthy:
Good evening guys! I have been following this thread for a while and I have learnt a lot. I want ask for reviews/opinions on Mitsubishi Outlander and the best model/year. Thanks.

I had a neighbor who used brand new unit of 07 upwards model year but that was years ago. They only opened the bonnet once to change the battery. But above all I believe it's a good vehicle from online reviews
