Hi
I am noticing the same brief rattling noise on cold start ups intermittently.

My online research says change camshaft gear.Is it a complex procedure? Are you in Abuja?
Yes, camshaft gear is the culprit.

"Is it a Complex procedure"? I'll say not quite. I fixed mine then after searching the internet extensively for guide.

Your main challenge will be sourcing the camshaft gear.... I bought the updated version from eBay then when this dollar crises and lockdown were not there. Getting a used one (App/Zuba/Gudu) is another route but there's no way of telling if it's also affected by it.

You might opt to continue using yours the way it is and endure the annoying sound. ...Some are of the opinion that it doesn't pose any danger to the engine

I hear some mechanics "fix" the issue by welding the gear; not quite the solution cos it effectively changes the engine from "Variable valve" to "fixed valve".... Your "check light" will be permanently on.... And You'll lose the fuel economy of variable valve.

Car TalkRe: Corolla Le 2013 Vs Camry 2008 by oNj(m): 11:45am On May 11, 2019
Presuming that both cars are healthy at the moment, 2013 Corolla is cheaper to maintain; more fuel-economic too.

Fact: 2007/2008 Camry is one nightmare of a car to own... From burning oil to weak transmission, AC compressor et al.
If yours haven't started, it's most likely a question of time.

(But then what do I know; wait for the oracles to coman educate us)

Why these new monikers (yes, newly created) either claiming to be Siena or outrightly seeking to drag him (and his name) through the mud?
His auto threads here were top notch.

If he had some crises, that doesn't give anybody the room for for vendetta, especially now he's no longer on NL.

My point: don't bring a campaign against someone who's not here to defend himself.

AutosRe: Please Share Your Experience From Buying A Car From Auction Export by oNj(m): 6:49pm On Mar 14, 2018

I have bought 4 cars from auction export and 13 cars from abetterbid.com and 2 from Copart

Now to my honest review.

There are many dealer sites in the US where u can bid and join live auctions. These cars are mainly from Copart and IAAI. So in other words, auction export and abetterbid are registered dealers that list cars from Major auction companies (Copart, IAAI..), private sellers and dealerships. Generally, u are required to have 10% of your maximum bid amount deposited in your account before u can bid for any car

For the purpose of this explanation, I will narrow it down to the 3 options I’m conversant with.

COPART: Largest Car auction in the US. You can buy directly from copart but your options will be very limited because u need a dealer license to be eligible for bidding directly in some locations in th US. Check their websites to know which state allows bidders without license.

This option will save you between $300 to $700 in auction fees when u win a bid cos you are buying directly (no dealer fee)

You can arrange for pickup and transport to port yourself ie getting a 3rd party to handle ground transportation and ocean shipping. This option is usually cheaper than leaving it for Copart to handle. You can save $200 to $500 going thru this route

The Title of the vehicle gets to you or your shippers faster. You can save overall shipping time.


Auction Export: and abetterbid They list cars from sources mentioned above. On winning a bid u will pay a dealer fee in addition to the auction fee.

Auctionexport must do the ground transportation to port for u(included in the final bill) and ocean shipping is optional. If u opt to do the ocean shipping yourself, they will charge you additional refundable $300 pending when they receive your BOL. Their ground transportation is usually more expensive compared to when get a 3rd party to do the move. Can save about $150

abetterbid allows you to choose how u want to handle ground transportation and ocean shipping. You can still use them but still cheaper when u use a 3rd party(Freight forwarders).

Abetterbid bid dealer fee is usually flat rate of $300 while auctionexport is usually higher than that. Note that auction fees determined by Copart is always added to dealer fee when using dealers that’s why I mention u don’t pay dealer fees when buying directly from copart.

When using dealers, it takes a longer time to get the title which u need to clear US custom cos Copart will first send the title to the dealer and then the dealer will send to u.

How I get my cars To be cost effective, I use Options that give me the best flexibility. Copart is the cheapest but limited to cars without dealer license requirement, I handle my own shipping which saves me money. Abetterbid is next...reasonable dealer fee and I handle my shipping. Auctionexport...higher dealer fees, constrained that I can’t handle ground transportation myself but they have cars from IAAI which the other two doesn’t.

How to know your maximum bid Now don’t get carried away during the bidding process as u can spend more money in importing a car than buying it here in Nigeria if u don’t do your due diligence. For example if a 2014 Toyota Highlander is sold for N14m in Nigeria, I would say I want to try and import for N12m which will be a good saving and worth the stress. To know the maximum amount i can bid without overshooting ur budget, I subtract my estimated clearing fee from 12m say 12-3.5 = 8.5m. I then convert this to dollars ~ $23,287. Subtract shipping and auction fees from this (I use worst case scenario). $23,287-1700-1300 = $20,287. So with this I will say I must not go above $20,000 and remember u must have $2,000 refundable deposit in your auction account to be able to bid that amount.

Hope I have been of help...I sell my cars on the side...so I let them go with a little profit..I just got in a 2009 Toyota Camry Sports last week, you can check my profile if u r interested and we must agree on a price...3 more cars sailing

If you are in PH, I can guide u in getting a car of ur choice and you handle the whole process yourself. 08160599745
Can you talk about the payment aspect please.

Can one pay online (as in ATM online payments)? ...

Must one have a domiciliary account before payment can be made?

Or which other options are available

#Particular reference to Copart.

Thanks in advance
