Thanks alot for your response. Please would you recommend it?
I am only considering it because of the high cost of tokunbo cars this days.
My Boss own is 2 years and still kicking, I guess you can buy the Auto if the individual is not ready to use manual especially if it would be driven in Lagos grin

Please guys I'm thinking of RDX OR MDX ACURA 2010 or lesser
I'm on a budget 3M

What's your take on these choices.

MDX is the overall better vehicle to own. For MDX stick with 09 or 2010, Avoid tech package if you can to forestall heavy maintenance bills
Car TalkRe: Automatic Nissan Almera Tino by nurey(m): 6:54am On Aug 07, 2021
The engine is bullet proof especially the 1.8L though the 2.0L.isnt bad too.

The gear is CVT and uses Nissan CVT NS-2 fluid only.

The normal Almera hatchback uses automatic instead of CVT but to be frank most users vote for the manual Tino I believe it uses same CVT as the primera P11 which was alright as long as fluid was changed regularly

my scooter will not even go past 60km/h,it is speed limited to go no further,but I don't think you can keep a respectable speed in a power bike,once you start the engine you are possessed by a Japanese speed spirit that will not allow anything to overtake you,infact if you are riding a power bike and okada man,corolla,Camry,etc overtakes you then you have no business riding it,I recently watched a video of a power bike dusting a Bugatti Veyron and a Lamborghini murcilego, incredible speed,
If you have seen a colleagues remains picked on the road inside polyethylene bag then you will control yourself when that speed spirit tries to possess you grin

Default settings as in how?
Yeah I noticed black smoke comes out for like 2 seconds and dissapears,
So by removing the nozzles and manifold default settings can be messed up?
Why would you allow them remove your injector nozzle in the first place.

Manufacturer has put things as standard but kazeem don remix am. Find a competent technician to diagnose
Car TalkRe: My 2015 Ford Ranger Truck Consumes Fuel More Than Normal by nurey(m): 7:44pm On Aug 06, 2021
Default settings tampered with. But just to be sure check for black smoke from the exhaust tail pipe

Check for external leaks Also. If all checks out, then the default settings has been messed up visit your nearest technical shop

So

- which bike did you ultimately get
Haujue xpress 125cc
- ease of getting the power bike's spare parts
Bought brand-new won't need parts until after a year

Sorry my budget is not much, just 1m naira.
Im in Anambra
Your money no reach yo buy those except their empty she'll.

Rather find Isuzu/honda Rodeo/pilot, Isuzu trooper, Nissan Pathfinder or Nissan Xterra.

If you are bent on Toyota then sienna 98 to 03 or find Toyota condor though it maybe scarce those are the other cars with a good ground clearance within your budget

Lol, that Porsche GT2 RS that got #1 isn't stock and isn't even sold to customers.

The GT Black is still the official #1 car.

Your GTR favorite isn't even relevant again when it comes to track performance. This isn't 2015.
But as at 2019 the GT-R was current than the AMG offering in track record.

Wear a helmet, keep a respectable speed and you did survive

Mammanbawa, Diamlerben, heavenlybang king406 you guys must be proud of the AMG GT black series, record has been updated you guys at number 2. But you guys should accept than the Nissan GT-R was better than AMG 2013 to 2019 atleast grin

Though the Nissan GT-R is still relevant with it's V6 engine, let's see what 2022 has install for the holders of the record

@lagusboyyy and @nurey kindly give me your take on Peugeot 407 (2007-2012)
Comparing it with corolla (2008-2012)
407 came with a big bang into the Nigerian market, it was good all round, affordable and even Gazzuzz as at a time adviced to be used for Uber, some did buy. Peugeot isn't offered in US so reason for it's little presence I don't know much about it's auto transmission but for pug, manual is mostly adviced.

Peugeot would get you pass every check point hastle free, it doesn't like abuse and the parts are extremely cheap from engine down to the smallest bolt.

Toyota Corolla on the other hand needs no introduction, it's a Nigerian citizen that has come to stay, affordable, reliable and dependable though the 08 to 12 isnts as rugged as it's predecessor but it would also serve well, good resale value and a bit exquisite than it's predecessor.

Picking from the 2 depends on what you need but the Corolla is a swiss knife and would work and fit anywhere you want

Well now that you users of Corolla are now very submissive on the highway... You people should remember that and we'll be good
Your rust bucket old cargo can't handle a Corolla, engine would knock if you attempt to push it pass 120km/h where as the Corolla would dust you comfortably without breaking a sweat, it's lighter, has better power to weight ratio, it is quicker than your rust bucket too, the only thing you have going for you is top speed and you forefeit that since the day you fed your engine 20w50 from ammasco.

Go buy a Corolla and rest atleast you would stop begging students for push to start after lectures grin

Still on the Corolla shitboxes ....who else has noticed that Toyota Corolla fan boys are now moving into the Mercedes Benz C class? What a positive beginning to get off that nonsense of a car called Corolla
You know there is an adage that says until people criticize you and bad mouth you, you have not achieved your aim.

You criticizing Corolla means you have noticed it and you envy it, driving a Corolla doesn't make you poor or categorized one as a low life, it only means one made the right choice as Corolla is the best selling vehicle in the world right now.

I come in peace

quest4s:
Toyota Highlander 2008 vs Nissan Pathfinder 2008
Advice for a complete novice pros and cons
Thank You
2008 highlander is more appropriate as the pathfinder is a 4WD better SUV, 4.0L V6 is quick but expensive to replace. The pathfinder had a radiator bypass issue which led to damaged transmission but an easy fix if buying the pathfinder ensure the radiator bypass has been done.

The highlander has a better fuel economy with it's 2.7L i4 or 3.5L V6 and it's a CUV with fwd or AWD

Car TalkRe: Tata Manza Car Engine Needed Urgently by nurey(m): 10:55am On Jul 31, 2021
Startupfactory:
Yes, it I the exact car type. Same picture and it is petrol
I have already told you what engine you are looking for and vehicles I have seen in Nigeria with same exact engine Fiat FIRE engine 1.4L version. Fiat Punto is one of the most common vehicles with such engine.

As for a replacement engine, it's possible but above my pay grade, probably a kazeem can help work something into it but it would cost you as Toyota engines the popular kazeem choice are expensive.

Better to part out the car or sell as is which is a big loss or give kazeem to do abracadabra for an expensive bill
Car TalkRe: Tata Manza Car Engine Needed Urgently by nurey(m): 10:27am On Jul 29, 2021
Startupfactory:
Yes, I thought so too; that's why I posted it here hoping someone may have for sale.
If the pix is the same with your car then your engine was made by FIAT and it's a 1.4L engine if it's petrol not diesel.

You can rebuild it or look for
Jeep renegade
Fiat Punto
Fiat 500
Dodge Dart

Some lancia do also carry the same 1.4L engine

AutosRe: Why Do They Use Hilux As Security Escort? by nurey(m): 10:21am On Jul 26, 2021

I've noticed that almost all entourage has Hilux Jeep as escorts. Please any reason for this?
In the 80s and 90s it was the Isuzu brands (Isuzu Tiger) all banks, government parastatal too. Now it's Toyotas turn reason for the Hilux brand if another manufacturer had presence too than Toyota then it would be used.

Okay but here is my question, how often do they break down? For example would it cost me 100k to fix a problem every month or just 100k to fix or buy a part every 2 to 3 months? (Benz)

I have been looking at Highlanders a lot on Copart and to be honest i don't like the design or the fat looking interior seats.

Need to understand how often a benz would drag me to the mechanic workshop and what an average fix would cost me. Also from 08 to 13 ml 350 the one with the best rating.

Thanks and sorry for asking too many questions lol
100k a month may be close or exceed depending on the damage and what workshop you patronize grin but normally it's oil change and some small maintenance expensive which should occur very few times a year not monthly.

The ML is a good car to own especially one with good maintenance history and recommended service fluids used.

For year don't really know my former boss had a 08 model and rarely gives problem. The ML has been a reliable Benz model

Was happy when i found this section! So i have been majorly confused about the best SUV to go for since i know next to nothing about cars and this would be my first.

Options:
1. Mercedes-benz ml 350 - 08 to 13 first love (Benz)

2. Toyota highlander 2011 to 2016

3. Toyota camry 09 to 12 as least option if i must.

Please break it down for me like am 5.

Thanks
Highlander more popular, easy to use and maintain but the Benz has better build quality, better turning radius, sleek interior and exterior.

Benz with AWD parts are expensive

Yes Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 not all this Mobil xhp 20w50
Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 8:47am On Jul 21, 2021
raphieMontella:
The 11 and 10 models are above my budget...
Then buy the 08 and 09 with good inspection score, use a good full synthetic oil with the recommended transmission fluid.

The compressor of the i4 also fails easily and the replacement is expensive

Please what's your input on buying a 2008/09 camry v6 vs v4 of the same car model ...
And is the transmission issues of the camry limited to the 07?

And can it be avoided
?
By using the right Transmission oil, constant changing etc...
Thanks
V6 okay good for the mind, body and soul.

I4 the 2az is known for oil burn i would advise on 10 and 11 with 2.5L 2ar if you want 4 cylinder.
