. You gain it back in resale value

wrong.

02-2005 civic is sold 1.5m

03 to 05 Corolla is 1.9 to 2.3m for tokunbo

naija used

civic clean in good condition 800k (700k) difference

Corolla in good condition 1.2 to 1.5m (700-800k) difference.

so how do you gain it in resale value if I pitch it with 06 to 11 civic, the civic is a better buy. Corolla is highly over priced

MOTIONTECH:
Goodmorning house i was wondering,Is it legal to ride a 100cc motorcycle on Lagos road privately, an example of a 100cc bike is the regular bajaj and tvs motorcycles we see everywhere.Thanks in anticipation of your response.

It is illegal if police or task force nab you, they would size the bike except you are ready to settle heavily

slapacha:
Nurey pleas answer this man, Someone is in the same shoes with him.
Selecting between Corolla 09 and Camry 09 tokunboh

Corolla for fuel economy, camry 4 cylinder for executive status and minimal fuel economy while V6 for driving dynamic

Sbclothings:
now I guess I have to find one pls am paying on Tuesday pls anyone with a contact pls

I am not in Ogun state anymore now in Benin. Ask friends that use benz so they can introduce you to a good technician for inspection

PrinceDave001:
Thanks,please how bad is the fuel consumption of the pilot,heard the fuel consumption is very bad.

Among other competitions it is average but not same or identical to the accord

freemayor4u:
Thank you Gazzuz emancrcute
I have opened the bonnet but could not find this module on the SUV
This mybos 2007 highlander not 08
Attached is the pictures

Full engine pix. The box should be close to the battery side on the right side if facing the engine.

Modified it's a 3MZ

HeavenlyBang:
That picture has nothing to do with a Legend of any sort.

That exact accord in Nigeria has 3 badges either accord, tsx or legend. That's what I have seen. I am just informing the op if what I see incase he comes across any of the 3 the tsx is better than the remaining 2. The legend maybe a foul but I have seen it several times.

GAZZUZZ:
Work is moving slow, as there is no pressure.

Engine oil inspected and found to be milky.

Engine must have had a history of overheating.

No metal particles in base of engine .

At this point a decision has to be made between a replacement and a rebuild.

I have micra engine, buy and transplant instead of rebuilding or replacing , I offer 1 hour warranty on the micra engine

jabolo:
That sedan that has as much Torque as the SUV you have in mind.

You are an ASE technician I bow

Gravatar:
Ah, but you literally typed Honda Legend in the post you made and I quoted




Meanwhile the Legend has never had the exterior rear fascia shown in the picture he posted. That rear only fits the TSX, or the European Accords.

The Legend is Honda's flagship sedan in many regions. Not to be compared with Accords and lesser sedans

what is really the issue. that shape comes in 3 badges of Accord, Legend or TSX and I said TSX is always luxurious than Legend and legend is a tad improvement than Accord badge, the person I quote knows what am talking about don't bother yourself

Gravatar:
Boss, no be so o.

The Legend is an entirely different vehicle. That's the Honda Flagship, also known as the Acura RL or RLX. It's far above the level of the Accord or TSX.

I am not talking of the Honda legend or Acura legend.

the shape he showed always comes in 3 badge, Accord, TSX and legend. So depends on which badge that shape gan gan is carrying

jabolo:
I disagree somewhat - from an Engineering perspective. It's a comfortable rule of thumb but it's the Engine Torque figure that counts, or rather the Torque curve (availability at low RPM is important). Some sedans have more torqued engines than some SUVs so this generalization doesn't hold.

And, the chassis/transmission/suspension of any car - Sedan or SUV - would be (or, ought to be) designed to handle the maximum Torque it can produce from its belly.

Thank you engineer but you have still not told us what sedan has the required torque to tow out an SUV from a gully.

I don't want to delve much into physics but you realize a gully would require two forces upwards and forwards, an SUV in itself would find it hard to tow another SUV from that gully compared to a sedan.

buygala:
Used for 500 kilometres ....

Sir, this your bike has accumulated more mileage than a bike commercially ridden in abeokuta for 3 months

how do you know? are you a commercial Okada rider in Abeokuta? nah question I ask oooo

dicksonadams:
What about part availability, leg pull, I dey eye am too cause they are cheaper on jiji than eod new

same part different shell. Though the TSX engine is different as it has more HP and better torque.

never seen that model with leg pull or gear issues like the 03 and 04 EOD

emmancecute:
ASE we know, which one the GLI?

G azzuzz

L ogistics

I nternational

Thazard:
I know this is a very silly question but is there any sedan car able to tow an SUV in a deep gully?

Kingreign
Gazzuz

nurey
Heavenlybang

Transmission destruction

suspension collapse

Chassis deformation.

All these can occur when you attempt the feat and when the land caves in more, the sedan could also get pulled into the gully. Look for a good 4WD truck with live axle and enough torque to do it, the only sedan I can think of is all those subaru forester

NobleEngineer:
hello guys, pls what's the difference btw this accord (image attached) and a EOD.

which is very good in terms of performance and others

buy the one in the pix, could come as accord, Honda legend or Acura TSX. depending on which one it is, you get better performance and luxurious accessories than EOD.

TSX better than legend better than Accord

Gazzuzz and nurrey
Please I was directed to you to help me out
My 07 highlander fan works both at ignition on position and at start wish should no suppose to be so
Pls help me out it's a toks that was how I peak when it come out from port last week and nothing has been touch on the SUV.
Pls I need your help I don't want kazeem to toy with it
Thanks

This particular model doesn't have issues though compared to the 08 above model year. check if you left the fan on not necessarily with the AC on, just the fan settings.

if that isn't the issue then it's electrical, you need a good technician to trace your issue like Gazzuzz cause me no be car technician

dicksonadams:
Does element suffer from leg pull like most Hondas

No it's an elevated civic chassis. But element keeps true to it's name because it's a combination of several honda and acura cars in one shell.

PrinceDave001:
Hello Oga Gazzuz
I'm having a tough decision choosing between a 2007 accord and a 2005 Honda Pilot (Both Toks).
Can you give a comprehensive insight on both vehicles.
Cc. Nurey and other experts and users in the house.

if you navigate more of bad roads you have no business with a sedan (Accord), if you live in lekki, ikoyi or VI then accord is okay if you don't experience flood during raining season in your area

EazyMoh:
Hello car gurus, after driving a saloon car on our crazy Nigerian roads, I realized the best ride for my kind of movement is an SUV and a Toyota.

I Narrowed down to a 2006 Rav4 or a 2004 Highlander. I'd prefer the Rav4 if I could get the 3row version because it looks better and is smaller. One has to minimize the Highlander attention in this kidnapping era.

So please how common is the 3row Rav4? and may be there is a better option.

I realized they cost about the same.

Other options don't come in third row. if you are afraid of kidnapping and stuff buy a toyota previa, avensis verso or sienna instead atleast they will think you are an interstate driver and let you go.

From your options rav4 with 3rd row seat is bae but the highlander too is ok as it commands more cargo space

ksmart027:
Good day house, please help me compare between 2012 nissan almera vs 2012 honda city both manual trans in terms of part availability, fuel efficient and reliability. Cc nurey, heavenbang, kingreign, 9icetoo,
radautowork and all gurus.

If the Almera is tokunbo which would rather be a blue bird syphylus I did say buy but if nah all those bought brand-new in Nigeria I have my reservation for those.

The Honda city is a better alternative here than the nissan

lexini:
Thanks Gazzuzz

That cost isn’t friendly at all.

Is it possible to rebuild the engine? The issue the car has is overheating - all the time.

Please advise.

unfortunately those engines were built not to be rebuilt. Reason I always advice against 013 upwards kia Rio and hyundai accent.

dharrey2012:
Thanks for all you do, Oga Gazzuzz and all the great minds here.

I have a hard time choosing between these two cars, and I will really like your honest opinion on this;

Toyota Avalon 2005-08; and
Honda Element 2005 and above.

Are they both reliable? I have no issue with fuel or shape. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks

Avalon is a V6 element is a 4 cylinder. Element body parts are scarce and expensive even in Lagos, Avalon has parts available though may be expensive.

Both are rare on road but element is even more rare to come by so you won't get bored of it.

Avalon more luxurious with good build quality, element is too plastiky.

Element has more pimping mods so can be turned from a cat to a lion, Avalon has no pimping mods.

Element if you desire ground clearance and okay with the seating arrangements and offcourse for haulage. Avalon for executive appearance.

Please Bosses in the house, I need a quick one for a very good friend who is about getting his first car.
He is confused between the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT and 2009 Camry Sports SE.
Please help me compare the two rides under the following :
Fun to drive
Maintenance
Fuel Economy
Reliability
Best to use in Lagos.
Thanks.

The pontiac would be fun to drive if the camry has same 2az engine as it's lighter with better curb weight.

maintenance of the 2 is negligible as vibe is cheaper than 4cylinder camry which is cheaper than V6 camry.

fuel economy vibe is better

reliability is close as both are highly reliable

pontiac is better not a robbers magnet.

bigbamo:
I see an Element there, is owner willing to sell? I'm on the lookout for one

The way you are looking for an element eeehhh you will eventually put others in trouble as the prices would soar. Buy a CRV instead same car different shell

Dharni:
I want to get a mazda 3 2008 model but my worry is will it serve its purpose for uber business? Please if you have use a mazda 3 for uber kindly share your experience. Thanks

Parts are very scarce technician may not be an issue much. Better buy something more common in the stable of Honda, Nissan, kia, hyundai toyota maybe too expensive.

The bolded part is one of the reason I consider banana to be more profitable since you have more bunch to sell than plantain. But I know most times it's a different ball game in reality

like the local one I planted in Lagos, it brings out like 8 finger bunch. if you sell each finger 200 that's 1600 for a whole bunch.

I buy plantain here in Benin for 500 per bunch sometimes if very big and bulky I buy around 800 to 1k for personal use oooo.

banana in Lagos is around 300 to 400 and he dey move especially people chopping it with groundnut

After land preparation and ridging, you plant the cassava stems and after 2 weeks before the emergence of the leaves, you apply glyphosate at 2L per hectare that would takecare of seeds of weeds in the soil. After 8 weeks with emergence of leaves I used paraquat and 2-4D amide to squash the grasses and broadleaf weeds using shield spraymethod of spraying to protect the cassava leaves.

From study I followed back in school after 8.weeks the best weeding method for cassava is manual weeding with labour after that you can spray till the cassava canopy is big enough to control weeds.

Good day house!
I am about to go into snail farming with like 500 parent snails and chances are that when they start reproducing they will be very many and I'm concerned about feeds for the snail plus their offspring to maturity. I keep hearing feeds are cheap and all but I need actual advise on where to get feeds like waste watermelons, cucumber, cabbage and things I don't need to spend money on... Any useful recommendations will be great.

Snails feed on pawpaw leaves which gives them the required calcium though not as bountiful in cabbage leaves.

They also eat water leave and other decaying fruits.

Mine is almost 6 months though they haven't layer, I just kept them in plastic for learning purposes I believe I have 2 breeds don't really know one from one.

Just got thinking about this two Musa specie in terms of their economic profitability.

Plantain seems to be seasonal in profit but makes lot of sense during it's off season. Don't know much about banana but seems to be more of staple/fruit, which means that banana price is like make sense all year.

Will appreciate the opinions of plantain and banana farmers.

Normally both have advantage over each other but plantain is better than banana in Nigeria.

Banana could be turned into seasoning for ice cream, cakes, confectionery uses in sweets and biscuits. In the drinks sector as a flavour too.

Plantain can be sold raw or dried and milled into flour or made into plantain chips and packaged for better profit.

Depending on which one you wanna go for. BUNCH TO BUNCH banana command more than plantain because it has more fingers than an average plantain

You are entitled to your own opinion. good day
