Are you joking now or you are joking now?
I have 8 to 10 milli to spend on a car and I would be living in a rat infested house?
Who does that?

You have forgotten that rats chased Buhari out of his office.

A lot of people have sex. The dirtiest, neatest, richest, poorest, ugly, and beautiful have had sex or still have sex. There is nothing special or boastful about having had sex. It means you have stooped so low to some people's level to show them your unclothedness. To me, every virgin can boast of not being defiled, and it's a thing of pride. It's a shame today that people boast of body counts but when you call them public toilet, they get offended while in fact, that is what they are.

800k Boss?

850k? Though I am not in Lagos.

Even the bible says "Money answereth all things" If I decide to pay you 1 million dollars monthly to pack my shit when I am old and grey... will you do it or not?

Trust me, my parents will always be my priority. Even if I am being paid to care for you, when my parents need the same care at the same time, I won't hesitate to abandon you for them.

MadeINchenzen2:
I will be so rich that I wouldn't care if they cared !

Height of ignorance! And you think care is all about the money? Or possibly you have no intention to grow old. At old age, take it or leave it, you will need to be cared for. You certainly will not have the strength to do the things you used to do before. If you think money can take the place of your own children's love and care, then I feel very sorry for you. The sacrifices your own children will make for you, money can not buy. Also, I hope you also do consider what happens when you don't get rich as you opined.

I don't know what triggered this thinking in the subject, but surely it's evil in every form. With thoughts like this, I fear we are gradually heading to an era where neither the Child nor the Parent will care about each other. We already see it happening with abandoned kids around, and trust me in no time, even the elderlies will have no one, not even their children to care for them.

Indeed, the world is changing, and it is changing for the very worst. Terrible times are really ahead!!!

MadeINchenzen2:
smh

If u want to know why I said that, just ask

My friend stop that thing you are smoking. If your parents need care, you are obligated to provide that care if you have the capacity. Parents and people generally become dependent at old age, and most times look up to their children for financial, material, and emotional support. Just as you were their responsibility when you were a child, they also become your responsibility when they grow old.

Abu na me you want to come take of your own parents? Please, I have my own parents to look after. Go and look after yours.

I am interested in this car. Any fixes to be made? is it factory AC and is it still working?

I offer 1m.

@LigitBitcoinBuy VGIF is a mutual fund in the fixed income category. the rate is 8.5% guranreed with extra 35% extra of funds gain. You have opportunity to reinvest your interest if you so wish. interest is prorated and earned daily but paid twice a year. You can read more on my earlier post on this thread and mutual fund thread. check my contact on my signature for chat or call and link to open account online.
To redeem mutual funds it's as easy as withdrawing your money from the bank. Though what normally is written on the prospectus is 3-5 business-day that is a regulatory statement telling you when an investor should raise concerns. The truth is that mutual funds redemption is in matter of hours if done before 12 noon on a businessday

How can I invest in this VGIF mutual fund sir? I have a million naira that I want to invest.

American spec

Japanese spec

I saw a post on nairaland that got me confused. I learnt that the American spec of the Civic has parts more readily available than the Japanese counterpart. I want to know how true that is before going ahead with the purchase.

The pics are attached below. First is the Japanese spec, and second American spec.

umbo:
a lot u need to check bro , do u have a trustworthy mechanic , if yea engage in his services

Many thanks Sir. Will try to do that.

I am about to pay for a Nigeria used Honda Civic 2007. The owner said car is in good shape and only issue is the AC compressor. Should I be worried about the AC not working, can it be fixed, and how much will it cost me to fix? Are there other things I need to check in the car or questions I I should ask? This is going to be my first car. I almost paid for a benz C240 recently but had to back out of the deal. How much do you think is good price for a Nigeria used Civic 2007 with over 200k mileage?

First class Simp First class Simp

Can I get the C240?

Any likely repairs?

This will be interesting. Want to get my first car with a budget of not more than a million naira, but I am scared as hell. Would like learn from others experience.
Following...

How much come be DC?
This advert at that price go last well...
Nobody with value for money will buy a Naija used 2004 EOD for even 700k, except it's extremely clean as toks. Even at that it will be difficult when DCs are going around 700k and 800k for locally used.

I keep hearing Almajiri school...do those kids even know what a school is...

heard the headlamp of the FX cost well over 200k. Don't know how true. It's a rugged car but parts are very pricey and scarce..

The Corolla on the other hand may have good fuel economy, but very prone to theft. The AC for that model are very susceptible to failure, and suspension isn't that durable. Road handling ain't great if you are a frequent Traveller.

Just choose your preferred headache and take paracetamol or extra Panadol.

woodrow:
You have made 2 very good choices .
All the Peugeot I have ever owned have always been manual.from 504 to 405 then to the 306,so I can't say anything about the automatic transmission.I like the fact that you said you want to keep the car for long.its quite impressive.if you get a very good Peugeot car,u definitely would enjoy it for as long as u want.

I have never owned a Honda Accord,but I have read about how it served someone on nairaland who is still attached​ to it till date.let me invite Fogman to narrate his wonderful experience about the Honda Accord.

Whenever you seek advice about a car,try weigh opinion from people who have actually owned,maintained and used the car in question and not from people who just heard about the car from beer parlor talks.

Waoooh...many thanks.

KINGreignn:

None!

So which would you recommend instead?

buygala:


If you can drive Manual gear, get the 406

If you cant, get the DC....

Whatever you do, pls don't get an Auto gear 406

Thanks. What's your opinion on fuel efficiency and long term durability between the two cars?

revilomichaels:
They are both good cars.

Peugeot is better with fuel economy.
It gives you a full sedan feeling and still doesn’t consume much fuel.

All the guys that drive the manual have never complained about the car. It can stay for years,

Honda is a very smooth ride but Nigerians can complain even when they have never used the car. I’ve experienced Honda for four years and didn’t change bolt joint.
As far as u have an original Honda bolt joint, the engine is rugged , transmission smooth.

My only but is on fuel economy compared to the Peugeot. That’s all

The difference in fuel consumption between the 406 and DC, is it significant or negligible? I love the interior design of the DC more, however I still feel the 406 manual is more rugged and durable. I don't intend to use and sell off, I want a car that I can keep and still drive after several years and look at and say, this is the car I started with. I fear the DC may not look too good in shape in the long run.

This will be my first car.
Need a car that is fuel efficient and durable.
Which would you suggest?

I know Corolla is fuel efficient but has less power compared to the 406 and DC. Also I don't want a car that would give me unnecessary hypertension as the Corolla is prone to theft.

Many thanks for your inputs...
After reviewing your comments in addition to more research. I have decided not to go for either cars. I will be settling for the 2005 C230 Kompressor instead. I do hope I have a good experience with it.

You guys are always so quick to bash our Naija babes. It was clear stated that they are from Niger...

Fentanyl:


ignore all the spam posted by that nuisance up there

meanwhile if you see any Camry "muscle" for 1m, whether Naija used, better run for your life

But my brother, the complaints are too serious to be ignored. Except those complaints are false.

obisite:



You took this out my mind... I noticed this too, very clear muscle going at cheap rate,, even almost tox at 1.7, n I begin to wonder, muscle turn Mtn.. Everywhere you go

Someone once said he sold his muscle for 850k. I have seen one for 1m on nairaland here but had gear issues. People were even pricing the car for less still.

It seems I have to look at a different direction now. I think the Avalon 2006-2009 will be a better buy now.

Na waooh...these comments are scary. Which do you think is a better alternative for a car in that category.
