Aside from the words in bold, every other thing you said has no relevance with my previous mention to you. I still maintain that you check this your statement and the previous one in bold. You’re wrong again even though you’re sounding like you know what you’re saying.
A simple Google search will tell you that both cars you mentioned again are on different chassis and different engine.

Please do a simple Google search before mentioning me.

Thanks I got you but there are 2006 Nissan G35 V36 though as production date badge as skyline.

Your bone of contention is model year.

I would correct it though not to be confused

2009 accord vs 2009 Passat CC best option for someone who loves interactive cars and maintenance conscious

The passat beats the accord all the way its premium to premium and more premium but reliability, ease of use even resale value, the Accord is far better.

The passat has luxury going for it but maintenance even for someone ready to doll out cash is a bit high and frustarting

Philadelphia:
You may need to check this bold statement of yours because both model years are completely different; different chassis and different engines entirely.

There is EX35 and EX37
35 uses VQ35HR 5 speed auto transmission RWD or AWD

37 uses VQ37 engine. With 7spd

The G35 03 to 05 uses VQ35DE 5 spd
G35 06 and 07 uses VQ35HR 5spd
G37 uses VQ37 7 speed transmission

And yes the G35 and EX have a few parts in common as the EX was a crossover variant of the G35 V36, Nissan 370z and skyline for JDM

asking for a friend.
is the infiniti ex35 09/10 a good buy. and what are the cons of the car?

kingreign Nurey heavenlybang

The model should be okay since it shares parts with the 06/07 G35 with the 5 speed transmission. And the VQ35HR doesn't experience oil issues like the DE.

God bless you for this wonderful piece Nurey.
You will collect two printed and signed documents
a. Change of ownership document
b. Receipt of purchase from previous owner

Please as a private seller, how do I get the bolded documents above when selling to potential buyer. I can’t just hand over the ones I received from the seller to the new buyer, cos that was an agreement between the previous owner and me. So to sell the vehicle to a new buyer, do I just type and print the declaration of change of ownership and receipt for the new buyer?

Also the names were never changed on the other documents (customs, police report, change of engine number etc) so it still bears the names of the person that I bought from. Would I need to change these to my name before I can sell the vehicle or do I just hand over those documents I received to the new buyer?

For the first question, you do yours from scratch, you can copy the format of the previous owner doc he used for you. Just go to a cyber cafe and it would be done for you.

For the name of document in previous owners name, no issue about that, just tell the new buyer you didn't change name when you bought the vehicle. Hence the change of ownership and rest of doc would be in the name of previous owner not yours. The intending buyer

1. would have to just do due diligence by checking the name on the document and ensure they all correspond and are original

2. Snap seller and offcourse get a valid means of identifying the seller by getting his drivers license, voters card etc incase of future reference

Nurey,

Can you recommend any sound (very good ) Honda mechanic in lagos please

I utilize kazeem but I ensure to tell him what to fix when my vehicle is faulty

You can go to Oyingbo in Ebutemeta it's the honda place of anything honda/Acura

You can contact gazzuzz and get appointments or drop what you are experiencing maybe we can help you diagnose here

Dat2jo:
Pls, are there dealerships in Abuja who deal on strictly clean title vehicles? Or one has to keep searching and spending money on VIN checks to be able to find a clean title car? Thanks

Kingreign, Nurey, Presegs, Tpound

Kingreign is your best plug for clean title cars in Abuja, that's his territory

Hi guys , a friend planning to get an Acura that requires premium fuel -91 octane level .. nothing less than 87 … does anyone know the average octane level of Nigerian fuels

The Octane level in naija is very low, what people who buy cars that require premium fuel do is to buy octane booster for every full tank, it helps to increase the octane level.

valarinz:
Its the sound for me

Your rpm reaches 4 and 5 before the vehicle changes gear why is that so?

The last time I was in osiele salami abiola school to see family was around 1997. Ogun poly was around same time. Lef t Ijokodo, Ibadan in 92 I have not been back to Egba since 97, so when I see those cities I have not heard of or seen in decades memories of old times comes back.

I know University of agriculture was building their permanent site around that area, they were still at Oke Ilewo then. Which other School is there now

The Oke-ilewo has been returned to the missionary I believe they owned that place then, my set 08-09 did pre degree last there. It is a pity sha as those landlords around oke ilewo lost big time with the movement.

Odeda LG should have been the biggest Agrucultural Hub in Ogun with its huge cast of land surrounding Ibadan. But the indigenes lazy sha, nah To buy phone and wear fashion cloths dem know. They also know how to collect money without commensurate work

sultaan:
Well I spent a minute or 2 in Ojere before I resumed in Ago Iwoye.



Salau in Osiele was a place I was familiar with too.

Had a party at the Ogundele village decades ago, and it was real fun being at the Olodo market and spending 3 days in that village.

All those places that seems to be long distances now look like stone throws looking at the distance on those boards.

They are now developed areas thanks to Funaab and Osiele school

Hi guys , a friend is about to get 2013 Nissan Sentra S . A good one ?

S is the base model, the sentra is equipped with CVT sha I don't know much about this model year but I have seen it around and it doesn't give owner trouble.

Salami71:
Please which of this ride is better ?
Lexus ES350
Camry XLE leather seat (muscle V6)
Both year 2019/10

Year for year an ES is always better than the camry counter part.

[quote author=tropaz post=108088179]@nurey,
Thanks Sir.
The c240 would have been the best option for me but you know how our mechanics down talk anything German machine...[/quopte]

Nothing complicated in the C240 though it is a moderate benz to own

tropaz:
I'm stuck between chosing from matrix, C240 Benz, Corolla and Pontiac. I would have opt for the Civic but the road to my house I very terrible. I just need a small engine/economical car for my wife to ferry kids to school daily.

Diportivo and other car gurus in the building

Matrix = pontiac = corolla.

Year for year those vehicles are 70% identical very minute differences. Though I did recommend matrix because it is not a robbers magnet like Corolla. Pontiac too is not a robber magnet but body parts are expensive.

Benz C240 is okay am guessing a W203 (03 _07) model years.

Depends on what you want but the benz parts aren't expensive, 03 to 05 interior is whack 06 and 07 were built well.

The best car for women would have been a ToyotaCorolla, that's what my sisters use. But for security purpose I did say a civic is the right one just my opinion

lagusboyyy:
I agree with you.

Nobody knows it all, we learn everyday including I

lagusboyyy:
I understand your angle.

But i'm just being particular about general spare parts here,and not a specific one.

The funny thing is that you are still not correct though, no offence. Lexus ES is samething as the Camry of that year from 1990 ES up to 2012 ES. ES just share more parts with a V6 camry exactly the same thing.
Engine, shocks, spring, transmission, shaft, bearing, compressor etc. So no special ES parts except for interior

Buharifan:
Is 1999 Mercedes-Benz M Class ML320 a good car ?

I want to buy one and manage.

Please advise.

It is a good, strong and reliable vehicle. Parts are available and affordable.

But in would advice against buying big engine cars due to increasing prices of fuel. Buy something less bulky with smaller engine.
Rav4, CRV, HRV, sportage,Tucson, Xtrail etc,

I4 for fuel economy

V6 for power.

I would prefer a V6 though because of the know issues associated the the 2azfe engine offered in the 4 cylinder. Besides the Rav 4 isn't that heavy so the V6 fuel economy would still be pocket friendly.

Duokc:
Thank you all.. I'm following.
Where can I get this Honda CVTF in Lagos?

Oyingbo ebutemetta area in Lagos is the home of honda parts.

Or call luvinghubby on nairaland here I buy my fluid from him, he sells genuine product

https://www.nairaland.com/luvinghubby

id4sho:
I think it's DW1 (not sure), contact dru23 he imports from USA.
Confirm year&model for appropriate ATF

Honda city is pure CVT fluid is honda genuine CVTF not DW1

Duokc:
Please, which one is the original Honda oil for gear? Mention name.please. Thanks.. �

Honda city uses honda CVT transmission and the recommended oil is Honda genuine CVTf.

If you like buy original honda ATF you will damage that gear.

CvT I'd not as forgiving as conventional auto transmission.

Change fluid first, check the drive condition if bad scan first if no code, you have successfully damaged the CVT transmission buy a replacement

Very good and solid car

Parts available everywhere and cost effective

Fuel economy is superb and convenient use to do 20L from Lagos to Ondo when fuel was 14x

Small fuel tank around 40L, 1k fuel would make you happy sef cause guage would always jump up.

The greatest con why i hate the vehicle is because of its red and blue temp guage (bought new in naija) units. If the car overheat, you wont know on time and engine must get damaged. Engine is expensive sha. If I wan buy again nah direct US market variant I go buy.

The manual sweet to drive but for long distance 500km plus for a tall person manual is a no no because you will have paja paja (numbing of the left leg) because of the shikini interior space

Have you check whether radiator is blocked?

Have you replaced the thermostat, the current one may be stucked closed

Michaeltoss:
Hello Nairalanders and Car Gurus, My friend needs to buy his official first car direct Belgium as in tokumbo Toyota Corolla but he is wondering if there is much difference between 2004 to 2006 please which one is best between the 2004-2006 toyota corolla? And also LE, CE, ALTIS which is the best edition? as it's for his personal use and how much is the current price now?
What are thing's he should look out for too when buying the car?

Thank you all as we will be reading your suggestions below.

Note: He is hell bent on buying toyota corolla and no other brands.

2005 upwards, better key security. Altis if you can find one that is direct LHD not converted.

CE, LE and sport have minute differences in 03 to 07 nah 08 trim difference dey.

CE is kpangolo edition manual windows,

LE sometimes has 6 CD changer with auto windows and minor wood grain.

Sport just added outward appeal to the vehicle it doesn't mean it is faster than CE or LE

IDnoble1:
When you pay a mechanic to replace a worn out part eg wheel hub bearing etc of your vehicle, do you leave the worn out part with the mechanic or go with it.

You must sight the replaced part when bought new. Then, decision to take the worn out part is left for you. I normally drop some so they can sell and get extra change. I patronize kazeem 100%

chiefbuchiV12:
Boss if you don't know then you don't know, if you're buying a foreign used Hiace bus(hummer) bus and it wasn't used in GCC market then you're left with no other option than buying a RHD from Asia that has been converted to a LHD, go to ladipo and confirm.
Same goes for 95% of korope buses in Nigeria, they all come from Asia as they're not for sale in any other region.

You keep talking about korope, I am not on about that. Besides Hiace, hilux full UAE and Dubai and them plenty for south Africa and available in LHD.

I am talking of regular cars, if it was that easy we should be seeing more of Corolla Altis, Asia camry, Toyota crown which are far better than their NA counterparts in terms of luxury, accessories and build quality.

chiefbuchiV12:
I'd have to disagree with your last line, shipping from Asia is a regular thing. Just like we have people bringing in vehicles from NA and Europe. Where do you think kei vans (korope bus) are imported from ? Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore same goes for used Hiace buses and Coaster buses

How many regular cars do you see shipped from Asia? Look at all the Corolla, civic, hyundai accent, kia Rio benz driven on the street, how many are from Asia?

Just as we ship less trucks from NA rather trucks come more from European nations.

You ship RHD vehicles and convert to LHD here and customer go dey price am peanuts
