Good morning guys. Trust we are doing great. Please I need your advice on this:

Where can one get buyers for a van?

It's been months now, and buyers are not coming forth. And I keep wondering if I'm not marketing on the right places or the price placed on it is too high.

Vehicle's Description:

Transit Ford
2008/09 model.
Fairly Foreign used.

I don't know if pictures are allowed here, I would have sent the vehicle's pictures.

Please help suggest how to sell it and the best price it can go for.

Thanks.

Good evening house,

I wanted to buy a Nissan pathfinder 2004 model from a friend. He drive the car so smoothly with speed as I sat beside him.

But by the time I told him to allow me to drive, I was expecting V6 engine to pick once I marsh down.

but as I accelerate the car mashing down once, from 20-30 in expectation that the car should fire once, it jerk and slow down.

He was claiming it not something serious.

Pls I need expert advice. Should i be worried.

He claimed the engine is a new one.

Although he told me catalyst has been stolen from the exhaust.

Don't buy a used car from a "friend". If you must buy, have a competent mechanic inspect the car and give you a clean bill of health before committing funds.

If you need a quick sale/ urgent cash, i will suggest you giving it out to a trusteddealer to sell on your behalf.
Car dealers have ways they sell cars and market appropriately

Hello guys,
I have been using NorthWest Oil 5w-30 for my CRV for some time now and it's been excellent, my car is over due for serving and NorthWest have been out of stock for month now, is it ok if I use another brands 5w-30?

I really don't want to use a lower grade oil because I was using Total's 5w-20 before switching to 5w-30, I don't want to go lower again.

What are my options abeg.

Why is it hard for people to follow directions.. Oil cover says 0w20.. Who is giving u advice to use 5w30.

Are u aware that some cars now like 2021 Toyota Camry uses 0w16. And people will say that the oil is too thing .. And meanwhile the engine and oil pump is design specifically to take 0w16.. This is how people damage their engine........

Check my signature and profile . And check to see how many times have complained or needing help to fix my own personal cars.........

The cost of tokunbo engines are pretty high now ... This is the time that u need to care for ur car ..........


I will not contribute to your post anymore... Good luck

Toyota recommends using SAE 0W-20 Oil synthetic for the 2014 Avalon. Toyota also states that if 0W-20 is not available, 5W-20 may be used until the next oil change when 0W-20 is available.stick to d recommended 0w-20 oil synthetic.... Contact dru23 for supply

good day guys, my 2005 Corolla recently showed check engine light, after scanning it, the result showed that it is o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1. I spoke to my mechanic about changing it, he said he can service the one I'm currently using. it's been 24hrs after servicing it and the check engine light is back. I want to buy another one but when I asked one dealer like that he said new one will cost me 15k and tokunbo will cost me 8k. he however advised me to go for the tokunbo. what do you advise?
something of 2k in Ladipo

I think the rav4 has a smaller Engine as the vast majority of them are 4 cylinder, the Camry comes in V6 most of the time plus you get a good ground clearance with the Rav4
