So because he adviced a friend against buying an 8th Gen Honda with a defective R20A3 engine which needs to be replaced with another engine (which is very expensivr and scarce in Nigeria) that is what is burning your liver and kidney?
Hahaha bro, be grateful none of my friends asked my opinion on that car. I could had drafted an encyclopaedia of faults for him on that thread. Besides, for that engine to go bad shows the level of maintenance of that car.

I siddon dey look you bro.
Did I force his friend to come and look for a '8th gen Honda'. I shud have bought 2013 for him naaa...

I have no issues with you as I expected you and his other 'paddys' will come on here to defend him as he don mention una for him previous post.

Yea. You are right, the lady driving the care didn't notice it was overheating... so she was negligent and maintained it badly. But the engine dey available everywhere.

By your friends... you mean those who pay you to draft faults.. lol... everyone, you see wat I am saying.

I siddon dey look too.

[color=#990000]Let's not loose focus Bro. State the 2 cars if you are sure they were not lemons..

Meanwhile if kingreign, dec.hotec,cardo.ctor,sien.na,egu.nmogaji,k.ashif,sult.an,coco.duck did the conversion, I would buy without any fears.
Check my profile to see the 2 cars...

Meanwhile.. you just confirmed what I said... you are over confident. Add a 2 year guarantee to your offer on the avensis transmission.

Like I said earlier.. the avensis should not be sold above 400k. Anything outside that, potential buyers should check for better deals on NL auto section.

bravolad:
When he's paid for a Prepaid Purchase Inspection, the clients holds him responsible for any issues arising thereafter. There's generally a consensus that if you pay someone for an inspection prior to buying a vehicle, you are making efforts to mitigate the risk of a severe issues with the particular vehicle.

That said, I think he does his job objectively & passionately with the dictates of the requirements of the job. For example, if he chooses to compromise his stance based on perhaps, the seller agreeing to offset whatever the buyer has paid him for inspection. Then, he recommends the vehicle to the buyer in consideration of the agreement with the seller...the buyer will use every available means to castigate him & request a refund - that would grossly damage his reputation.

You need to also agree that most car dealers in Nigeria are unscrupulous, cunning & deceitful, advertising salvage & total loss vehicles as clean tittle, buy and drive etc. Put yourself in the shoes of a competent mechanic who's paid for a PPI. Your guess is as good as mine.

I have also use Mike (lokomike) in Abuja and he gave an honest assessment of a car, would you also suggest he's biased because he did the assignment he's paid for.

I personally inspected a used 2012 Camry in Lagos prior to inviting him to inspect. But I expressed some reservation & told him the symptoms I noticed in the car. Immediately, Gazzuzz told me that the car air conditioner compressor has been altered (converted to manual) which the seller didn't object, and even though Gazzuzz has not seen the car; would You still talk about badmouthing the seller?.

If a car belongs to him, he can assure you (buyer) of the true state of the car & takes responsibility when something goes wrong and not arising from the buyer's carelessness. This is generally how it should work. I personally will be wary about buying a car from any car dealer in Nigeria, hence, the need for a professional assessment. The competence & honesty displayed to this extent is not peculiar to Gazzuzz but all competent technicians and mechanics who worth their onions.

Finally, if you are an honest car dealer, people will appreciate you & pour all manner of accolades to you. Honesty begets integrity, which results to satisfaction.
Hi Bravolad,

I totally get you and appreciate you taking your time to explain the way you see things.

First off. I am not a car dealer. The cars I referred to were my personal and colleague's cars respectively.

Let me state a quick example based on your illustration above... the fact that the car ac in your above example had been altered was enough reason for him to advice you against the sale.. the seller might not even have known this... In similar vein... his Avensis has also been converted and is not a good sale.

I acknowledge the fact that he knows his onions in terms of auto mechanics but I think the extent of his knowledge is exaggerated.
I put a Honda for sale online and he advised against it stating that the engine is scarce in the market without verifying this information or inspecting the car. The eventual buyer fixed this engine for a little fraction of the scary cost Gazzuzz placed on it.

Bravolad, if you give me money to inspect a car, I will look for all possible faults in the car so that you won't come after me later. It's safer that way and my reputation remains intact.

Unless a car is brand new, there will still be a few faults that might not be obvious to the previous user cos he is already accustomed to it.

I have no issues with Gazzuzz, I just need him to be a bit fair and objective in his assessment or better still be involved in the negotiations. His method at the moment makes car sellers look unscrupulous.

My two cents...

GAZZUZZ:
look carefully at the rear of the car, it is a 2.0LX (R20) engine is unavailable in the nigerian market, unless you place an order of it. Engine should cost 500-650k
Hi everyone... just an update on this matter... the person who bought this car fixed it for less than 300k and is very happy...

Before making a decision to buy a used car... get your very own mechanic.

My two cents.

kingreign:
dude, that engine is over scarce. Ive sourced for it in whole Abuja, Kaduna and went to Onitsha i didnt find any unit. Dealers were asking 650-700k so they'll import and bring it for onward installation.
Hi kingreign

You can source for it in Oyingbo Lagos.

elshanAutos:
You are 100% wrong. The only thing Gazzuzz may be wrong on is the price which may likely have increased due to recent dollar brouhaha. As at last year when Gazzuzz and I were in oyingbo to source for the engine, we did not find a single one available despite Gazzuzz's tenacity and numerous people resources. The one of 300/350k is a fake R20 engine (basically a civic R18 engine, which looks physically identical to the R20, they just file off the 18 and stamp 20, though Gazzuzz was able to detect this right away, or the 'worked' one which is when the oyingbo chaps merge components from the R18 and R20 engine)

The engine is NOT available and definitely not affordable.
Frankly... Not sure about you guys... This is a renowned mechanic number in oyingbo... Anyone is free to call but respectfully please.

The engine is available and affordable.

Sorry Gazuzz... you re so wrong! Get your facts right!!!

I have just made inquiries myself and 2 people on this forum have called me and have stated that they have also been to oyingbo... the engine is available and cost 300k.

Pls I respect your opinion but always put a caveat if you are not sure of something.

The engine is available and affordable. Oyingbo is not far.
