Any SUPPLIER that is not SUPPLYING any form of warranty, you should be run from (but if buying from abroad, how do they honour the warranty (just incase)?

You hv a valid point here. I will discuss this with the person making the suggestion. He said he will bring it for me.

Guys pls on this forum has anybody heard of or know one Chillex8?

There is one on eBay for $4200 free shipping the seller has good review and you can arrange to ship it to a Nigerian shipper ( most are out of business now) or to a friend's house but you might need to find out how much delta or ups will charge to fly it in.

Shipping by sea on container will take about 2 months the shipper will have to wait for his container to fill up.

I showed you a source gave you a way to get it in but you are looking for an easy way out and that might be not as easy.If inspired is still into cars he might charger you to bring it is with his deliveries

We all want to achieve great result using cost effective methods/ strategies. Not as u are putting it, as if I am waiting for a brand new engine for free.
Of course certain parameters will have 2 be in place before I fork out such sums for the engine, or else my business is affected.
I have a 2008 Honda Civic bought from Honda's place in 2013 and I am thinking of disposing it to raise small cash.

Rather than sacrifice the poor civic, tow vehicle to your
house. Till such a time when funds would become available to repair the BMW..........

I will give it a serious consideration.
Just don't know how it will pan out.

This advice is top notch, nobody will buy a 2008 Nigerian used civic more than 1million that's even a clean flawless one. You still need 2million extra and time for the BMW to be fix. I still maintain my stand store the car or do a valuation to dispose as is

Are u kidding me? The civic been used less than 2 yrs!in top perfect condition & shape, not a single scratch!? Geez, less than a million?
Selling the bm AS IS can it go for 800 k? Realistically.

If selling as scrap, that is dismantling and selling in pieces you can rake in more but you must have a mechanic or parts seller as a family member.

But it's only you can decide your best option nobody can force you, we can only give you opinion.

Its possible to see someone who will value the car and pay such amount for it. But with the situation in Nigeria now, even I won't take a risk of buying a luxury on wheels without engine, my brother 2.8m isn't chicken change besides a 1990s Lexus LS and Acura legend /RL is twice as expensive as a BMW 5series with TV of same generation year Nigerian used.

This luxurious German machine loss value faster than you can say jack robbinson

Hello every one, how are you?

Reading through this thread so far has been so depressing. If only more attention had been given to the car's warning beeps. Poor car...worse the economy ainy smiling at all, but personally, i feel it would be a total loss selling such an iconic vehicle for scraps. Please don't, be patient, you may be blessed to find a better deal. Peace!

A 760Li is not for farmers but heads of organizations BMW flagship and a mechanic is not even suppose to see what the engine looks like strictly dealership only

Do you have an ulterior motive? you have been crying about him selling the car in the last two pages, he clearly said he has towed the vehicle to a secure location till better things turn up, yet you are still suggesting he sells the car after unsuccessfully subtly encouraging him to sell the car AS IS previous.

There was no need for this bashing or doubting, you can ask the op if I had called him privately to sell the car to me or my family member. I won't gain anything from the car as I don't even know how much it's sold and neither do I value properties for people (agent)

If you look at the time I posted the comment, it's just 15minutes in between it was more of a private chat response to each other, I didn't see the comment before I replied to his comment about disposing it to sultan if he was in Nigeria I browse NL 99% ON mobile phone using opera mini.

Don't be offended by the last post. I hv gained from not only ur advise but 4rom others too on what I shld do with my car. I hv neva received calls or message privately 4rm u about the car. So don't be bothered.
Homguy probably may hv missed some part of the conversation 2 understand it completely.

Bro, i didnt intend to bash you, i just felt you were over pushing it (selling the vehicle). Its an online forum anyways.

After going thru the thread, what wld have been ur honest suggestions, opinion or advise?
He mayn't even offer me the best price even if he's interested. I hv had offers for the car tho AS IS.

I would advise you not to sell as is for the following reasons
1. That car is one car not just anybody can afford, who ever is offering to buy AS IS" sees the value he's getting at even 1M or 800k...you are throwing away that much more value too.

2. I dont know the sort of job you do right now, but going by the nigerian economic trends you definitely might not be getting anything like this vehicle again. It would be worth alot more in the near future.

3. If you sell AS IS" for say 800k or 1M. The buyer might spend 2.9M- 3M or less to get it running
While my price research has shown most used 760Lis to be around 8-12M. So that buyer would still make a really decent profit reselling.

4. I believe if you search enough you will get a decent price for that engine, and those quoted so far especially that by sultaan seem like a good deal.

Bro, except you were planning to sell this vehicle before this incident, i would advise you be patient, repair it, use it for a while and sell it off at your own terms instead of selling under duress. That way u can still enjoy the ride for a while, and not throw away that much value.

It was deliberate that I didn't reply to ur post/advise cuz I find it interesting and incisive and needed to be digested with rapt attention. U captured my mood succinctly as if I hv discussed with one on one. I am into consultancy n contracts. I was offered 800k for AS IS but wasn't convinced.
Never dreamt of selling the ride b4 d incident. Tot initially I wld get d engine locally in naija but became disillusioned when it's obvious I wldnt.
I ll heed 2 ur advise N keep cool while I pray 4 beta days 2 come. I love the ride die!
Thank you very much indeed.
I am better illuminated now.

I have deliberately avoided commenting on this thread but the advise to store the car provoked some thoughts in me as I read.

I will make some postulations; what if the current economic situation in Nigeria does not improve in the next couple of years? From statistics point of view, it takes an average of 18 months or more to come out of recession. More so, the current APC led government has no viable economic plan to steer us out of the current situation with their continued blame on the previous administration. The economic realities is likely to worsen.

It's common knowledge that cars loose value over time especially when care is lacking. The rate of depreciation will be higher for the car. If you decide after a couple of years to sale, what do you think will be the value of the car at that time?

Considering that if you sell AS IS, at the current offer, you will be loosing a significant amount of money to the real value of the car.

It's also obvious that you did not insure the car. Such exquisite and luxury car ought to be insured for situations like this.

I think its high time everyone desist from badgering the owner on what he should do with his car. He surely will have many options he can choose from. He need a clear mind and peace to decide.

What if the country situation does not improve but HIS situation improves, then what? God's time .........

Also, i don't think insurance guards against these type of losses (Except he has repair contract insurance.) Even at that, they sure wont cover driver's neglect or carelessness.

I'm trying hard to wrap my head around this rant. Those are conjecture to guide his decision.

My observation; There's a difference between a person who has a big problem & the one who makes a problem big.

You seem to be more interested in him buying from you than actual solution to his problem.

I've been following this case from the first day OP posted it and observed and analysed each comment.

You seem way tooo interested in the OP's case way too much for comfort. Tell me, what do you stand to gain? Some cash? Fame? Wanna cash in on his misadventure or what?

Your extreme concern in OP's case isn't one anyone should ignore.
Well, you know what's on your mind, the reason for the sudden great care and concern which if I were in the OP's shoes wold find a bit too uncomfortable (well OP may not observe it cos he's at the moment desperate).

I prefer to look @ the bright side of things, the positives! What if the economic situation dramatically begin to show signs of improvement/ recovery? I know cars tend to develop some other problems if kept without usage. What one do?
It's insured but not against situation like this, obviously negligence can be seen here.
What then can u advise? To sell or keep? U didn't come clear.

Desperate may not be the right word here rather concerned. I have a 2008 civic and a 2010 camry I go around with anytime I am in town.
