what's the issue with the engine?

No engine issues ma!

zoedew:
Nope! Am not being negative!! Friend, I merely raised a poser about the exhaust of the advertised car whereupon the op and his storm trooper launched a blitzkrieg at me! They abused me to no end!! If an advertiser does not want posers raised about the advertised item that falls far short of advertising best practices and itself raises a red flag! Africans have not come far enough largely because we are unduly sentimental about things. A mere objective poser about an advertised item without more does not amounts to demarketing. There is nothing personal about this.

Oga, na this your plenty grammar dey tire me.
This should be my 4th post on the thread, and never ever insulted you.

If you noticed something about the car, say it in plain terms.
The so-called exhaust isn’t even clear in the image sent, and sincerely didn’t notice anything a ‘professional’ like you would have noticed.

For instance: If a red exhaust connotes a damaged ejector system - say it in plain terms rather than forming one Mr. Perfect or Mr. Know-it-all or Mr. Grammar.

For me, I am just an end user that wants to sell off an old car that served me well for 3 years to the best bidder.

As best as I know, and for long that I have used it, I’ve never had engine or exhaust issues - those that have bothered to call have been intimated on the minor issues that needs to be fixed (basic body work and servicing the legs, fan belt etc).

So you don't come on a thread and make vague comments. Be precise with your narratives...if factual, you could also be enlightening the seller too... Which isn't a bad thing.
We all learn every day.

You also need to learn how to construct your sentences... Using verbose terms and complicated arrangement/choice of words doesn't make you the best spoken person, you only make yourself the worst communicating member of the discussion.

Keep it plain and simple...that always wins... Go ask those writing IELTS.

Nairaland and her funny ‘car gurus and pricing analysts’.

Buying this car is not a do or die affair guys.
Serious minded people have been calling... probably without getting things complicated on NL comment section.

You can schedule inspection with your mechanic - buying is optional - ‘NL car professionals’ can continue ranting all they want.
Person wey wan buy motor know wetin to do.

I care less.

zoedew:
The exhaust speaks volumes to the discerning!

The exhaust is apparently one of the least conspicuous objects in all of the images posted. I just wonder why that formed the core basis of this poorly constructed and incomprehensible comment.

Car is finally going for 800k.

Poch has your civic given you any issues. I'm confused between the corolla and civic

So sorry I’m just seeing this.

I’ve used my civic for almost 3 years now... trust me... it’s was the best decision ever.
I enjoyed every ride with that car... super reliable... rugged, fuel efficient, low maintenance cost... super perfect car.

I even relocated from my very perfectly road networked city to the crazy Lagos about 2 years ago (2017) and I drove down severally from the south to Lagos (8 hours min on the road) and my civic always delivered perfectly.

I’ve been using the car to and fro work daily for the past 2 years in Lagos, and it never failed me... except for pretty minor issues and obviously routine maintenance (which must be imbibed as a habit).

Fortunately and/or unfortunately, I got myself another car recently and seriously thinking of disposing my super Honda Civic.

Initially considered putting it up for ehailing (uber/taxify), but I’m not sure I’ll have time to monitor the driver and go through all that stress... so I might have to sell it off soon.

I’ve been so reluctant on a decision for a while now... but I’m certain I’ll be disposing this week.

So if you get a decent civic 06-08, trust me, you’ll enjoy it even better than the corolla 03-06... because of its beautiful interior, prestigious design (comparing with the corolla), and super performance.

This is coming from a direct user.

Tgiirl:
I totally disagree.. Civil is very strong

It has low suspension and hardly ve issues. I use 08 civic naija used and 10months now. Mileage 198k and engine , gear, ac still very sound.

Put una beef for one side... Civic 07/08 is one of the best on ehail

Note: I ve given same car to rough drivers how burst 3 tyres and 1 rim at different occasions yet no issues with the legs till date.

I travel alot to ondo and benin often with d same civic, never had issues on the road.

My civic make me love civic. Presently I ve 2 civic 08 .n corolla 10 ... In terms of maintenance I spend less on civic than corolla

Fuel consumption lower than corolla

Having issues with your Honda, just visit Honda village at yaba/oyingbo and all problems will be solve with little cash at hand.

Thanks for this

Need an Uber driver for civic 06.
Lagos mainland, Resident in Okota/Ago axis.

Same situation here... System analyst position supposed to write in PH since 24th despite getting the sms on the 26th. Now I'm in Lagos, I just might crash into any center and write this test. I'm sure its internet-based. I really feel there is no point restricting myself to a particular center.

Please is there some attendance that carries the names of people in a particular center? Is it always verified before one is allowed into the test hall? Kindly respond guys...as I'm thinking of going to write in a Lagos center close to me.

learoce:
I am in same condition as u, secondly I am in Lagos and can't make it to port Harcourt. Please if you are an Environmentalist yet to write in Lagos, do let me know the day and venue so that I can get there. Hopefully they will heed to my plea to write at the Lagos center.

Jasmine360:
Hi,

I just got 04 Corolla for myself. Very clean and enjoying every drive and feel of the car. what about you?

Wow...congrats

I got a civic 07 about a month ago...and its also been an awesome experience.
Fuel economy
Really prestigious and creamy
Smooth ride
Only minor issue is its so low (but I have a very perfect road network so it's really not an issue at the moment).

I think I made the right decision... I hope it stays that way for long.

Jasmine360:
Point of correct ion. Corolla Engine now is 135,000 not 200,000 at Ladipo.lts very bad to give people wrong information when you have not visited Ladipo where this engines are sold. As at 4th May the price was 135k. Thanks

I think I could use a bit of ur expertise.
Pls check ur inbox.
Thanks.

I spoke with a distant friend who has been using a civic since 2008 (though bought brand new)...and he was furious at my claim of issues on the vehicle.
He categorically told me that his civic was 100% fit for purpose...and he's been without any regrets.

phnibeogu:
first of all. there's no way an 03/04 would best any 06/07 car... secondly Honda is as reliable as Toyota... thirdly. if there's any difference. it's very insignificant.. fourthly... if u know what driving feels like.. u won't want to be caught dead in a Toyota...
ok let's get get down to pure analysis.. Toyota is dead boring... but durable... yes it's slightly higher so this gives it an edge ... but civic.. I have one... is a joy. but it's slightly low... u would have to remaster ur driving techniques to use a low car... so if u live in a city with good road network... u would be silly to go for a corrolla... I have driven both... I felt I was turning the steering of a trailer. had to take the corrola to mechanic to check if the steering was alright. it was ... just doesn't have as good handling as a civic. so in all... the Toyotas advantage is.. 10 litres would do let's say 100 kilometres and civic would do 95 ... so it's insignificant if u ask me.. well.. I hope I've made sense.. just don't go get a full dead... that's where ur problem would start.. I don't think a corrolla can stand a civic in my honest opinion

God bless you guys jare...

I'm almost closing down a deal on an 06/07 civic. I no fit shout.

Corolla no fit give me hypertension.
These Honda cars are mad ass clean and beautiful sha!

Toyota is really over-hyped in this country.

I might just cut the chase and get me a good Honda...alongside some cool savings.

Basically, I feel with a good maintenance culture, the Honda might also do its thing without issues.

Now this is the kinda motivation I need right now. I hope I don't regret the decision... Cos crowd don dey prepare to see me frequenting the mech shop already.

Jasmine360 abeg if you get to see 03/04 corolla even if it's CE. Try contact me pls.

Readonee35L:
Forget Corolla now.
The way people spend big money for that old bland car is rubbish, it's a nice car no doubt and it's maintenance is no different from the civic.
But we Nigerians believe what he heaRd from one man who heard it from his wife who also heard from the cousin.

Mr man buy the civic it's not a bad car it's strong too, the maintenance is not bad and it's economical, in fact the civic consumes lesser than the corolla, and I stand on that .
Corolla or camry are not the only cars in the world.
And as long everyone has that stupid mentality that corolla no they chop fuel or its the best , it results to high demand , and your dealer will keep on increasing the price .

You can try the elantra too, it's a nice car.
In life you don't follow a baND wagon but what you know is right and works best for you, most of the people advicing don't even drive a civic.

Buy a perfect clean ride . And give it proper maintenance.
That's the key bro .
For less than 650k you'll get 03-06clean Niger used civic.

If you're lucky you'll get an 07 civic from 800k upwards .
Make sure you take a competent mechanic along for proper Checkup

This might not be a fair comparison...but the demand for the corolla has seen its price sky-rocket so far.

With 800k one can only be a bit lucky to get the corolla...while a cleaner and sharper civic is asking for even 700k with open arms.

My question is to the auto pros in here:

Why do people keep discouraging the purchase of anything Honda for a beginner?

Is it really that bad and trouble packed?

I've talked to older and experienced friends and family...and none ever encouraged my Honda civic option (basically for its 1.8L similarity to the Corolla)

The all claim I'll spend hell maintaining the Honda...

The corolla scarcity is getting me fed up and seriously considering the Honda now...thats why I'm seeking this advice from anyone who cares to drop a word for me.

I'll really appreciate a candid and unbiased advice.

Elantra 08 is also another ride being considered as an option.

Since December 2015! I suspect this ride.
What's the issue and is the price revised now?

chrisley024:
Leicester need only 3 points in their remaining 3 games to be crowned the champion.

They should just allow us take the 3 points at OT and get theirs from Everton.

Instead of turning this thread into a flood of email-address-dropping, Dammy's idea was simply to search for shell foreign recruiters email address on social media (LinkedIn for instance)...and send them an introductory email of yourself and your application being under review for a while...he proposes that the foreign recruiters are more understanding and could assist you get scheduled for an interview.

Since you all agree that Shell HR staff have more important things to be doing than monitoring a NL thread, there is no reason this "crazy" idea should remain secret! So off you go guys...

Now that's the crazy idea...which isn't a bad one... But since it's about to derail this thread, can we now have some peace in here...
