Use the same analogy for a phone let's check something.

Alright
Like I stated previously, as long as Nigerians see car as an achievement, it will always hold value.
An average Nigerian can get a phone, but can’t get a car.
So phones tend to depreciate faster.
In a standard economy phones are supposed to get cheaper as it gets older, but sadly that’s not the case.
Foreign used iPhone XR was about 130k last year
This year it’s above 170k.
But if the economy were normal, the foreign used xr should be about 100k today.
So In reality the phones are getting cheaper but your naira is loosing value.
Phone I got for 150k 2 years ago is still 150k now
Bruh, that’s not normal

Hello, Sorry about your ordeal but your best bet is to find a way to contact the sender for the details.
I believe you made payment to his account for the waybill, you can search the account holder name on social media.
You can get the account holder name from your bank statement or bank app.
You can also try to go to the gigs location you were to pick up from, and give then the date you were meant to pick up, they will have logs of the items that came I. That day, just give them the location it was sent from.

Save your breath. They're not business men, so they will never understand.
Most of them use that kind of warped thinking to do business and they always fail.

The next thing is to accuse their competitors of using JuJu, as if na JuJu dey help businesses grow.

Omo, I don explain tire boss
Saying someone is "greedy" just because he's trying to get current market value (worth) for an item he bought is mind boggling .
If he were over valuing it, yes, that's being greedy, and it'll likely not get sold, but if its selling for around current market value you can't label him greedy.
Also if the item has lost it value, it will definitely be sold cheaper, it goes both ways. Basic economics that happens everywhere, e reach your turn you say “Nigerians Greedy” like say you don explore the other countries come back .
You buy gold/diamond necklace, you use for 5 years "it appreciates".
You need cash and decide to go back to the store to sell it, will you sell to them at the same price you got it 5 years ago because you're not greedy ?
It’s not greed, it’s economics.
Likewise the value of the same car has appreciated and you don’t want him to sell for its value ?
Nah, y’all be the greedy ones

Imagine it this way.
You bought a 2005 Camry for 2m Thinking you will use for 1yr or 2 and add maybe 1.5m to buy Camry 2009 that's valued 3m to 3.5m.
After 2yrs dollar increased and you are ready to upgrade but the value of the 09 Camry is now 5m. You think you will sell 1.5m and add 3.5m to buy your Camry 09? Not possible .

Using his illustration " he wants people to sell the car they got for 2 million in 2019, for that same 2 million in 2023, but little does he know;
If the guy that bought the same car for 2million naira in 2019 had the same thought process,he wouldn't have gotten it, because he'll be expecting people that got the car for 900k in 2015, to sell for 900k in 2019.
He also mentioned something " he said if he goes to buy car and ask for the original receipt of the car and he'll be 100% sure it'll be like 2 million while the dealer would be asking for like 3 million" but little does he know original receipt can never be in Naira (eBay, copart, auctionexport, marketplace etc) all in dollars.
Now if the dealer asked to you to bring half of the initial purchase amount which is in dollars, you'll spend more naira sourcing for the dollars.
The whole argument is baseless and doesn't hold water.
Like that guy said, just pure emotions, no logic or form of economic reasoning.
Emotionally blackmailing someone because he knows the worth of what he's selling is not the way to go.
No one owes you nothing, bitter truth.
If the item is above your budget, get the one below your budget instead of expecting handouts.


NOTE: The points I made were not in relation to the thread, it was this statement "anyone that buys a car for 2 million for 2019 and sells for 2 million in 2023 is greedy" that made me chip in and explain how it works and why it's so.
Not in support of anything.
However, I believe If you are posting your item for sale on the clearance thread it should definitely be below the current market value.

wunmi590:


I understand your point, which are valid..

But believe me, I'm not trying to talk like a pastor, i can't sell a car that I bought for 3million after 5years of usage above the half price....

My current 2008 Honda civic was bought tokunboh from my friend in US, everything including the clearing in 2019 was almost 2m including all the things I did on it...

If I want to sell you can never see me sell above new market price, because since 2019 to 2023 is like 4years plus, I've used it so well...

No that I can't do that, but my conscience won't allow me....

One of the aim of people disposing their cars is just to add money and buy another one or for jakpa or for something else..

Majority of us don't want to sweat before we get money, if I want to sell my car, the purpose would be sell my old one and add money to buy another one, but some want to sell old one and use the over priced car money to buy another one...

We Nigerians always use every opportunity to do something bad, not everything is about government...

Hmmm
True talk sha
It's the dealers that are messing the whole thing up sha.
They'll buy cheap from people and then sell at an increased price.
Most of those people selling 3m are dealers. Not people that used them personally.

Nlanalyst:

Yapping about inflation as though depreciation isn't a thing.
It's the way y'all argue blindly for me.

Bruh, this thing is common sense na
If the value of the corolla depreciated from $5000 to $3000 from 2019 to 2023, it'll still be much more expensive because your Nigerian naira depreciates even faster.
Car that was 900k in 2015, 1.5m in 2019, now almost 3m in 2023.
That didn’t happen because of “greed”
1m in 2019 is not same as 1m in 2023 (different values)
I don't know how else to explain it to y'all.

wunmi590:


Oga you don't know what you are saying, no offence.

A foreign used car that was bought for 2million 4years shouldn't be sold at same price after 4years usage, that greediness...


Majority of the so called cars sellers are just greedy, I know most of them don't know jack about cars, they are just doing it just because there's no job out there, at least it is legit, but being greedy is what is bad...

Same thing applied on this clearance sale, you people selling what they can't use their money to buy at inflated price...

Very very greedy people everywhere

I get your point boss
But the white man does not need your Nigerian naira, the Toyota wasn’t initially bought with naira because the Toyota was not made in Nigeria hence has it has a $ value attached to it.
It was bought with dollar initially and shipped here oga.
He’s selling for a lower $ value, but it doesn’t seem so, cause your Naira has lost value.
If everyone was selling at the naira price they got it for, you would have gotten a car since na, and won’t come here to complain.
Or you think people are crazy buying a used car that sold for 1.5m then for 3m now?
If care is not taken it’ll keep increasing.
Even the car you're asking to buy 1.7 million now was being sold for 900k before.
As for household items that have been used, yes
Those ones are greedy normal, but for cars, quite different,
Since most Nigerians see cars as an achievement, it’ll always hold value.
But I must admit the greedy ones are the one adding customs value to a Nigerian used car, they increase price because price of clearing has increased.

If only more people could channel this frustration to the government, we won’t be complaining about this.

wunmi590:


Most Nigerian are generally greedy, so I was not expecting less...

Car most of them bought in 2019 when dollar was way way low to naira and they have used the car like 4years, is what most of them want to sell for more than the value they bought it then...


Very very greedy fellow

It’s like you don’t understand economics at all
If you bought $1k at 300n/$ for N300k in 2019
Will you you sell same $1k for N300k in 2023?, as a fellow that is not “greedy”.
He could have gotten the car for $5000 in 2019
And then decide to sell it after 4 years of use at a reduced price of $3000 in 2023.
It’s not always about greed, it’s inflation.
I’m not supporting greedy folks but, I mean, you do have to consider inflation.
But personally, i feel Corolla is over priced in Nigeria sha.

HenryWilliams:
Good afternoon..
I have an observation to share . Hopefully some can help .
Just purchased an Accord 07 model.
I have a complaint about the AC system.
Anytime the compressor picks.. it comes with a violent shudder which vibrates the car seriously..
I'm at a loss cos I've never experienced such high level vibrations coming from a compressor..
The AC chills well anytime any weather .
Just when the compressor picks..
What could be the issue?
Any opinions?

Check your engine mounts

HenryWilliams:


What if servicing was done recently?

Then it was not reset back to 100% after the service was done then, if service was done recently you can go ahead and reset it back to 100% .
It’s not necessary to follow the indicator
Just note the miles you did the service and replace oil after 5000 miles or so.

After reinstalling the windows did he install the graphics driver back?
Also check if you can adjust brightness
If you can’t, you’re missing your graphics driver and would need to install it back

HenryWilliams:
Oil life 50%.
What does that mean?
Accord 07 4cyl

The engine oil is at 50% life
Will need a change when it drops to 25%
After the change you can reset oil life back to 100%

jceesquare:

How would you tell if an engine has major sludge build up? Hope you know sludge can also act as a false seal, and bearing materials to quieten the engine.
Also for the 2nd bolded sentence, who told you synthetic oils don't burn out and does not need topping up?

1. Open up the valve cover after removing the Intake manifold, inspect the camshafts.
You can also inspect the oil pan or oil sump.
2. It does burn, but not as much as conventional oil as stated, as it requires a higher temperature to do so. Same time if your engine burns synthetic oil, it needs proper work.
Even during oil change after 5k miles, it'll still have that clear oil color, I think I'll start changing it after 10k miles sef.
No be by who told me, I did switch personally from regular to synthetic, and I'm telling you what I observed, you can also do research on it.
The only con is if you're using it on a high mileage engine, and you haven't changed the factory crankshaft seal which is now worn out, it can seep through causing minimal leak, because it is thinner than regular oil at normal temps.
The guy later used 5w 30 semi synthetic which is a synthetic blend oil which is closer to synthetic oil than that oil the other guy was recommending.
And if you did notice, he replied 5w 30 semi synthetic oil is "also good", implying that the 20w 50 mineral oil is good as well but
5w 30 semi synthetic and 20w 50 mineral oil cannot be both good for the same engine as they are way different.


Lass lass be like na Kazeem apprentice full here.
I don see why peeps dey fear buy naija used cars

Grupo:


Did you see where he mentioned he doesn't know what the previous owner was using? I advised based on that.

There's an 87% chance that that's what the previous owner used.

Engine also burns oil, according to him.

Goodluck to him pouring Mobil full synthetic engine oil into that engine.

Chugging the engine with 20w 50 just because he doesn’t know what the previous owner was using can cause more harm oga.
Yes switching to lower viscosity oil after using a high viscosity oil for long time can cause increased engine wear.
But If that engine sounds healthy and has no major sludge buildup, don’t use 20w 50 based on assumptions.
5w 30 is fine*
Also since the engine burns oil, synthetic oil is the way to go, doesn’t burn as fast as mineral oil and wouldn’t need to top up.
Glad he didn’t follow your advice
20w 50 for Honda engines, Nawa you oh.

Just buy Mobil super 20W 50.

Don't go and pour synthetic oil inside that engine o.

How will you advice someone to use that heavy 20w 50 but not synthetic oil.
Na tractor he dey drive?
Go to jumia and get 5w 20, shouldn't be more than 30k. You can go for synthetic if you want, your engine will thank you.
I see that he used 5w 30, that's not bad.
The only reason you should use 20w 50 is if that's what the previous owner has been using for long, like way long.

UgoFly:
Who can help me check my civi 06 in Abuja? The smell of fuel fills the car whenever I buy fuel and I also feel the fuel consumption is a bit high for Civic. I just started using the car.

Scan the car
It should bring out an EVAP leak or EVAP related code.
It's could be an ineffective gas cap, evap purge valve, the charcoal cannister or the canister valve solenoid as well and as the poster mentioned above, check the hoses(fuel line) connecting them.

Hdd

The closest you can get is the apple beats fit pro.
But with your budget, you should be looking at used.
I have a used one that I can sell 65k sha

Okay, thanks. Hope the fuel won't ruin my car paint?

I do not know the quality of your paint. But I doubt fuel will affect it
Just make sure you use a dry rag to clean off.

WycliffeSMB:
Good morning House!
Pls I used masking tape yesterday to hold a poster on my car for an event.
After removing the poster, I noticed lines of sticky gummy residues left by the masking tape.

Pls Does anyone have an idea of what I can use to safely remove those marks without harming the car paint?

You can try fuel or spirit.
