Hi guys,

A friend of mine needs a minivan for commercial use, after searching for the best make to go for, we finnaly settled for Honda Odessey, we actually wanted to go for Nigerian used sienna but still, it was too expensive compared to our budget, so we had to choose between Honda Ody 2002, Nissan quest 2004 and Mazda mpv.

So after comparing all the 3, we finally settled for Honda Odessey 2002, we found someone who wants to sell he's, the price is within our budget and from pictures, the minivan is still clean but however, he said the car is automatic transmission and the only problem the car has is that it doesn't change/shift gear on time, but he said he will fix it and we will pay 470k for the minivan, but if we are going to fix it ourselves, we will pay 450k, and from the pictures he sent, I saw the minivan has already done over 224 000 in mileage.

Please am a total novice when it comes to cars and so is my friend, we don't want to end up with something we will only use for a few months and problem will start..

Please your advice is needed, is this car good to go for or should we run away from it??

Please see picture of mileage below

if you can't afford the Sienna, it is better to buy the Mazda mpv than the Odyssey and the quest.

The Odyssey in question has a factory fault of gear failure for the 4speed which is 99 to 03 model year. The Odyssey body falls apart and doesn't do well in water logged areas as it start rusting by the tip. The car rear isn't strong for cargo hauling at full load your exhaust go hear am

It is advice able you rather search for Honda shuttle/Isuzu Oasis they are basically same thing. The shuttle is far reliable than the Odyssey.

The recommended oil for Honda Civic 2006 and upward is SAE 5W20 which is kind of scarce. I got the car last month (tokunbo) and it requires service. Please what are your recommendations

if you see 5w30 you can use but Gazzuzz, Dru23 and Radautoworks sells your required oil weight and they can waybill to you anywhere in Nigeria

OK, but this one no follow again na. Well, it is not common.

Isuzu Trooper is produced between 1981-2002. E have teyed.

What about Isuzu Axiom?

same engine and transmission as the Trooper and Rodeo and their derivatives. What's more the transmission is shared with BMW 3 and 5series if 98-02.

come to think of it Axiom sounds like the sound made when you sneeze prepare for a lot of sorry when you mention the model of vehicle you are driving.

Me: whao nice truck, what model is it?

OP: It's Isuzu Axiom

Me: sorry dear have an hanky

if I would pick an affordable and reliable SUV that would give me the image I want and not common.

1999-2005
Isuzu/Acura/Opel Trooper/SLX/Monterey.

I have had a year personal experience with it not owned it sha.

tensazangetsu20:
Amazing. If he must learn handwork, he should find one that will allow him to work remotely and easily leave Nigeria. I no go advise person make them learn any hard skills even as a mechanic.

Hard skills isn't bad, been able to position and promote it is what counts. Gazzuzz, Autologic and co went through all this hard skill but they improved on it. Gazzuzz no fit lie say he no chop fan belt in his Oga hands

Highorbit7O16:
I've learnt a skill; fashion design. I know hard work pays. I'm currently doing my best to set up my shop but the funds are scarce. There's a woman I work part time for, and she gives me just pocket money but I'm not complaining because I'm using that opportunity to learn more.

Don't work hard only, work smart. You had the chance to make nose mask and sell during the lockdown in your vicinity I guess you missed the opportunity.

Learning several skills is not a waste of time but an advantage to fill the necessary void in your vicinity.

Start small and grow big, your destiny is in your hands

AmuDimpka:
abeg help me ask am if he has ever owned a Rolls Royce or Aston Martin

Do you agree with his assertion that Benz is Junk?

Philadelphia:
Send us pictures and we may be able to tell if it's a good deal or not.

which picture should he send again? cars45 inventory are always clean and shinny but they are green snakes under green grass.

When you hear cars45 my brother Japa, if you can disappear sef, better

Highorbit7O16:
I can't even afford a Keke napep and I'm a graduate. No job, no money I don't know what to do again

I finished secondary school in 2007, no father no helper only God and my mother, I went to learn phone engineering and then computer engineering for 2 years I slaved and earned 5k monthly, gathered the money got something from my mum add it up and paid 150k for predegree and I entered UNi in 2009.

I used my skills learned to pay part of my tuition in University. finished 14 and served in 16 got some cash 1m invested in Agric and lost it all.

Got a job in Dec 17 as an intern, got good news in Nov 18 for retainment only for recession to hit the company hard and by Dec 18 I was told to go.

I went into farming with all I had, made a very bad decision and got thieves as labourers I nearly ran mad but never gave up, another big loss gone down the drain. I took all my down fall as a learning curve to be a better manager and a knowledgeable human supervisor.

Today I am not Rich and I don't own my company, but If my working place says Nurey we don't need your services again tomorrow I will pack my load and follow the handwork I learned while young and I am certain I won't go hungry.

my brother go and learn hand work and know your worth don't wait for government or God to give you job, work hard first and help yourself and see whether success won't come knocking. You don't need money to offer a service go and learn something and start from somewhere.

Companies only employ people who have something others don't no be about first class wey you carry comot for our University

kingreign:
A Ferrari is more expensive than a Lamborghini when similar model specs and target buyers are considered.
The cheapest current production Ferrari is expensive than the cheapest current production Lamborghini. Also, same applies to the most expensive of both models from both marques.

No Ferrari is as expensive as a Lamborghini Veneno roadster 4.5m dollars.

Though I believe Ferrari performance is higher than Lamborghini

RZArecta:
car payments are made in installments over there, this is just a marketing strategy to appeal to younger folks breaking into the job market

Is it possible to get over there through dreams? since over here is a night mare.

I name Honda hala best graduate car in Nigeria since the starting price is 50k for about to die unit.

erico2k2:
hence I was laughing the jag is not cheap, and its not rubbish in design, its far more sophisticated.

I was actually scolding heavenlybang for putting jag in same weight as Benz cause since I have known jag, it is as rare to come by even Rolls Royce is more common than it.

in secondary school one of my level class mate driver comes to pick him up in the ugliest car I have seen at tender age it's that jaguar Xj 1990s model with V8 engine, I just know it has cream leather seat and Formica and the knobs well placed but I didn't know much about cars then so I judged it from the outward look

I still don't like those oldies jaguar design anyway

erico2k2:
ofcos, U never knew?seriously?U 4got they are the same company? you remember when Honda bought Rover and the created rover 600? or when BMW took over rover and created rover75?
Even their allnighty Diagnostic machine is for RR and jag,I'm talking SDD(System Driven Diagnostic)

I don't know much about jaguar and I never tried because I don't even fancy their vehicle design.

But the type-S R only has the J33S or J34 4.2L V8 supercharged engine identical to the range Rover.

if other parts work with Range Rover then anybody using this car is Rich oooo, cause range Rover parts sef no be beans

erico2k2:
This car uses the same parts as the range rover sport for more than 95%

Are you serious or kidding? Part same as range Rover sports upto 95% am skeptical about this though

erico2k2:
I think you do not know loads about the jaguar

yes I don't know anything about the jaguar, never owned one and never driven one either

Kestolove:
How do I go about having Tripplet? Cos i need it in my first pregnancy

pack your Kaya small and big and head to Igbo-Ora and go get your groove on and get pregnant there

aji2000:
Please can you assist me get it sir

Using AliExpress is actually straight forward. I would have helped you but I am not available to use the service.

just download the app and provide your address and a naira MasterCard and you are on your way to freedom.

the step is very much available in phone section and technology section. I can also assist you to set it up

olisaemeka1:
thanks sir ...Suv still drives fine ...juat some lights on d dashboard that appeared n d engine light came on. attached is a pix of d dash

https://wwwdotfjcruiserforumsdotcom/threads/p0333-knock-sensor-high-input-code-diagnosis-and-repair.728864/

Read up and let your mechanic follow those procedure if and only if you don't experience drivability issues like loss of power, rattling of engine etc. replace the dot with the sign

if you need a good technician on NL let's know your location and we can recommend

HeavenlyBang:
Hardly. More of a Mercedes alternative. Or a poor man's Aston Martin.

nah jaguar you dey qualify with Benz just like that? well it's ok, it's alright I no vex since I know the truth sha.

aji2000:
The xtrail is actually a very good suv, the challenge here is getting the right technician and mechanics.

N.B: So far the issue has being resolved. I had the vehicle scanned and it gave a P0340 error, cam shaft position sensor as I presumed. The one purchased by the technician I contacted was bad that is why it didn't work when we inserted into the vehicle. What we did was to clean the place where then sensor, and it worked instantly. Although I am still skeptical about my sensor because when I started the car this morning it wasn't idling well. I plan to have it serviced asap and also get a new sensor.

Please what kind of oil would you guys recommend for an xtrail suv 2005. I will keep you guys posted as events unfolds.

Thank you

my advice to you is to get a brand new sensor if from radautos or order from AliExpress especially if it is made with plastic because the next werey the sensor go do, last last you go tow that car home.

nonhuman:
In my street I usually see the car use by one man and I always admire the ride, I never met the owner one on one, but I so much love that car both the shape and interior, but I hardly see the car on Nigeria roads, guys what do you think about this jaguar ride, because I feel like owning one

You will face two major challenges if you own this car

1. Technician to fix it when it develops fault.

2. Parts replacement.

Me sef admire the jaguar sha, poor man's RollsRoyce

olisaemeka1:
Good afternoon house ...please I ran diagnostics on an suv and it threw up the engine code P033 .pls I want to know what it really means , its effect, can it be managed or must be fixed . and possible cost for fixing .

Suv is 2007 Toyota Fj cruiser

thanks all.

cc: Gazzuz
Nurey etc etc

I think you mean P0333 knock sensor 2 bank 2 is faulty. physical inspection of the behavior of the vehicle in question (drivability and sound of the engine) would enable the technician to know what to tackle.

So look for a technician that can interprete scan results to working diagnosis.

wura2u:
Does Nissan company still produce NISSAN PATROL vehicles? I am yet to see a sales advert for a used Nissan Patrol on Nairaland auto section.

How many Nigerians buy brand new cars yearly very minimal and those who do don't have the patrol in mind they rather buy a G-wagon, Lexus LX or the American big rigs.

Patrol wasn't offered in US which is where majority of tokunbo vehicles available in Nigeria come from

You can get the patrol if you know someone that works in international NGOs and they want to auction the truth of the matter is to even get a specimen nah wahala because the patrol doesn't die and it uses same part as the Armada, Pathfinder and Titan so part is readily available.

Carchoice:
Please which is more durable.

I want luxury and comfort.

I have just weekend to use the car. I'm always at work during the weekdays. I don't drive to work.

My budget is 6m.

2011 RX 350
2017 Toyota Corolla
2015-16 Toyota Camry.

Also, should I buy now or wait? Even if I buy now I don't have use for the car except weekends.

only weekends, you need just a joy ride. Lexus RX takes it all

Born2conquer:
Can i get KAZ custom contact?

Khaz customs dot com or do a Google search.

Born2conquer:
God! How can someone now enjoy rides in this country without headaches!

More reason why people are glued to Toyota in nigeria.

It’s easier to buy and clear and no one will question you on how you got the money

You can buy brand new Hyundai in Nigeria or you can buy anywhere else in the world but better to containerize it and ship it rather than airlift. Shipping via sea is far cheaper.

You can also customize the vehicle after it gets to Nigeria, if nah interior and exterior Kaz custom can do it, if it is bullet proof proforce can serve you.

If nah regular and affordable customization gazzuzzautos or Radautoworks got your back

chukel:
I'm actually interested in the sport Trac 07-09 to be precise. Not common here in the east. Would love to hear from the users. Been eyeing the limited edition.

An expensive truck though. Not bad if we'll maintained, it is a luxurious truck.

Born2conquer:
I have great love for hyundai and KIA vehicles and i would love travelling to south korean to buy directly from their factory and to also get the technical team to customise it to my taste.

The ish is that, i really do not want it to come by sea because of the carelessness of the port attendance and because of PORT vandalism.

How much would it cost to transport the CAR by AIR to my compound?
2)How will i go about with the custom clearance?

Seun, lalasticlala

I hope the Hyundai in question is a Genesis. I don't think the factory would let you in, any customization should be done online at their site or the respondent passed onto Hyundai through a registered dealer.

Even if you get to the factory and request for customization, they would refer you to a dealer who would then take your specs and handle finished product to you.

As for Air freight nah only super rare cars get transported that way, am talking of cars worth millions of dollars not your regular Rolls Royce or Bentley but high grade special order variants of Rolls Royce, saleen, Bugatti etc.

Also NCS would bill you eeehhh, them go build new refinery ontop your head's as custom fees except maybe you are a cousin to the Cabals
