I spent about 550,000 in fixing the car without buying engine and gear.. I fixed the car to my taste, sold it about 2 weeks ago for 1m.

I wish the new owner best of luck.

550k and you didn't change engine or transmission? Werin you come buy

He was there with me when I was fixing the car. He knows what he's buying...

I thought I could fix it with atleast 250k but I was wrong. The bumper alone is 40k direct tokubor. Though there's new one of 28k

captainking:
If this car was comprehensively insured.. You will not be complaining... Next time do comprehensive insurance

PLS. How do I do a comprehensive insurance for my car. It's an Acura TL 2012. The parts are like gold price and want to avoid stories that touch if something like this happens ( I pray not)

Bro.. You can visit any insurance company...let them sell comprehensive insurance to you... It's usually at 2.5 or 3percent the value of the car with excess buyback.. Kindly mention me tomorrow let me check for good insurance coys to recommend..

Mind you, the first mechanic almost sent me to the village, he removed so many parts from my car to fix another vehicle, and he'll forced me to replace them. He was caught when he removed my steering rack. That guy is a devil incarnate. I got him arrested, I lost almost 200k to this criminal.

My brother, the tory long o

Hope you collected your 200k back after arresting him. You nor even buy radiator inside the 550k spent cha.

I bought double cell radiator for 17k

Make I see when all these yeye "Toyota parts are cheap" Crew go come disturb us here again.
I will keep saying that Toyota is an overpriced peace of shît. You can never spend half of 550k in fixing/restoring a 2003/2004 Mercedes Benz c230/c240 given the same level of damage with this matrix.

Why did you end up selling Sir? Was it giving you issues after repair??

Thanks bro, I gained a lot from the info you shared ��

The car drives like tokubor after repair, but the effects/shock of the accident wouldn't let me drive the car again. The buyer drove the car to osogbo (I was with him) to detect any defect but non was discovered.

Structural rigidity is a thing, and very much of essence especially in performance driving. But however this is an econo-box, so, no qualms.

If he doesnt have another serious accident for the next 3 years or hasnt had any for the past three.

Comprehensive is still not better off
