My oga dem, i don come again. I appreciate your works here. God bless you guys.

I have a new very good dilemma.

Volvo XV60 and Ford Edge which is the best to go for in terms of fuel, body parts and host of other Nigerian factors to consider.

Ps: There's a little soft love for the XC tho

Go for the volvo. Avoid that ford with questionable build quality.

GOOD DAY ALL. PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT!

Earlier this year, i managed to buy my first ever car after saving up so much money for it. Unfortunately for me i made some very terrible mistake trusting my car dealer which has caused me so much pain and saddness.

Because i was travelling alot during that period, and there were a few upgrades and work to be done on the car, i left my car with the car dealer i bought the car from at his personal home residence, pending when i come back from my trip i would move the car to abuja where i was relocating to.

unfortunately for me, immediately i got back to lagos, i tried reaching the car dealer so i would come over to house to check the upgrades done on the car and then finalize plans of moving the car to abuja... only for his number to be completly unreacheable. After about a week, i was able to get through to him and he claimed he was arrested for unknowlingly buying a stolen car. and that the police took all the car in his possession while arresting him . i was already working around how i can get a lawyer to go claim my car when we discovered that the car was not actually taken by any police, but rather it was taken by a creditor that the dealer was owing some large amount of money.

what is the best possible way to retrieve the car, as i had not yet registered the car in my name and the car documents are in the car?

is it possible to check if a car has been registered and the registration details using the chassis / vin number?

the matter has been reported to the police since and they are still trying to track him down cos he has been on the run ?

If you can get hold of the dealer, you will get your vehicle back since you have a receipt and bank debit to the payment effect

Gurus in the house, kindly compare 2013/2014 bmw 535i with 2016 infiniti q60 red sport. I'm looking for something that is pocket friendly, runs very well with a little tuning and has very good reliability. The infiniti rs is a bit rare but I can still opt for any 3.0l variant and tune it.

Bros avoid 2008/2009 with 2AZ engine. it burns oil a lot. Go for the V6 Highlander or Rav 4.
Your corolla is a solid car if not for the ground clearance that you need

I need a car for rental to be use for (uber and bolt business), to deliver weekly.

I’m ready to start work immediately.

If you are an intending investor/partner and you are willing to invest in uber/bolt business in Lagos

I will handle your car with utmost care and you will have good return on your investment.

I am ready to pay weekly as agreed without any stories.

I will provide verifiable guarantor as needed.

car security is guaranteed.
