ade95: Guys .. good morning , please what’s your take on Infiniti G37 2010 Good ride, use quality oil, parts are a bit pricey when available. It's a luxurious sports car dont expect much fuel economy with the 3.7L HR engine but the economy is smiles per gallon handles well too on the road. |

SolarEdge: I was intercepted by the men in Black this morning opposite abesan estate gate, few meters away to AP filling station. The officer stopped me and requested i opened my boot, I did and came out to open for him...he further requested for my driver's license and car documents, I presented to him. He requested for my tint permit I presented to him...he was dumbfounded. He said ehhnn where's your medical report for the tint permit..I was like I don't understand. Boom! Oga asked his boy to take me to station. They were done for the day..all the police men followed me to area P command few meters away from the round about. They asked me to park at the back inside the command, and took me to one office..I was even trying to see if like 2k can allow me go because I was in a hurry before taking me to the station, but the officer did not want to hear my plea.
On getting to the station, they gave me a form to fill and instructed I write a statement that I am medically fit and I did not have a medical report yet I have a tint permit. I said no I won't write any report, they seized my car key at this point. So I was thinking, I needed to go pick my daughter from school at 12:30pm..why all this delay. So I put a call through to a top commissioner in Abuja because I was helpless at this point..and I explained my ordeal that the only documents out of my possession is my medical report and he asked me to give the phone to any officer at sight...which I did and immediately he introduced himself the officer stood up..took the phone to the boss and he also stood and boom my car documents and key was handed to me.. I checked to be sure the documents was complete.
This happened few minutes ago, even when I have this contact to call I was still willing to part with at least 2k but they won't want to listen to me..this is my experience.
PS: my car tint is not factory fitted. There is no medical report for factory tint but non factory tint needs medical report. The day I drove from Lagos to benin without tint permit on a factory tint dat, I hear wen. Every checkpoint extorted me, I paid about 2k in total with plenty abeg, I was allowed only because I had family in the car. Since I did the permit nobody has asked me for medical report they just scrutinize the tint and let me go |

SHABZ: The parts are expensive and the CVT transmission isn't the most reliable. It's a very comfortable and fuel-efficient car Parts expensive abi okay, compare price of 2015 Camry engine and 2015 Benz E class engine with the Altima engine. Then start comparing other replaceable parts like shocks, brake pads, rotors etc And for your information the CVT in this one is reliable with no issues as long as he replaced with the right oil. |

megafox: The ready light is not coming up . It only flashes and goes out . It try to crank but won't. The highlander hybrid doesn't have a starter motor, the engine needs cannot be satisfied by the battery pack because the engine needs more time to crank than usual and only a starter motor can give you that. If you actually read through that thread you did know why the car won't start, your technician would have to be a genius to find away round it. The Error code still points to the hybrid system.

eeewise: Pls any ideas on getting a volkswagen jetta 2.5 .
It seem to be affordable BTW 1.8 and 2m
In terms of maintenance and parts If tokunbo very good, don't compromise on the fluid especially the gear fluid. The parts are very strong and they do last, but the parts too are a bit high in cost because you will never see china parts of the vehicle. I only know the suspension parts don't do well in water prone areas especially when your shaft rubber protector is bad allowing water, mud and sand enter the shaft. I hope the Jetta you are talking about is the A5 2006 upwards |

envarmp: Hello nurrey,
I did some more research about the 06 model on YouTube, and the reviews are pretty impressive.
I found a Nigerian used Honda CR-V 2007 going for 2M, ingood shape too
and
A Foreign Used Honda CR-V 2005/06 going for 2.1M
What would be your final answer sir?
Please help a confused young man as I need to make payment before the weekend. Buy the toks because 1. As foreign used, fixes to be made would be minimal to naija used 2. The 05 and 06 is cheaper in maintenance and parts to the 07 upwards 3. Less abuse and better maintenance throughout it's service years for toks than naija used that has tasted our bad roads and low quality oil and gasoline. I have been driving cars utilizing the K24 engine in the 05 and 06 and I have never had issues with the engine it is a solid rock |

envarmp: Thanks so much for your reply. Greatly appreciated.
I don’t really like where the gear was positioned in the 2002-2006 models, that’s why I skipped them to the 2007 model. Do you advise getting a Nigerian used of the 2007 model? Get an Honda element instead 03 to 07 you should find one with a budget of 2m for tokunbo, it's gear position is similar to the 07 upwards CRV and it is a 02 to 06 CR-V in another clamshell. If you don't like the element design then you must settle for naija used 07 CRV upwards |

envarmp: Good Morning House.
I want to get my FIRST CAR this month. I’d be driving in Lagos. I’ve never used a car so I don’t have much experience with cars. I do not want a Sedan, I prefer an SUV.
MY BUDGET IS 2M (Please Feel free to make suggestions above this budget, I’d greatly appreciate)
My consideration is the HONDA CR-V 2007 or 2008
I’d really appreciate experienced suggestions. Thank you. Your budget can't get tokunbo of that year but look for CRV 02 to 06 model years it is reliable and would fit into your budget and parts are cheap. You can buy front wheel drive or AWD variant they are both rugged but AWD would need axle oil change from time to time. |
