A.M.G KLEEMANN PERFORMANCE. 542 Horse POWER. . . . LOADING

How can u claim a C350 @ 542 Horses. Even a C63 is about 400+ That's my gripe. Do your thing!. Benzes touch my soul. Incorrect info throws me overboard. I will let you go.
Have a wonderful night grin

Mr Inspire,

I will let you go back to your business. This car is a nice car. No doubt.

However its a C350 with AMG package but not AMG C-Class.

It cannot, i repeat cannot make 500+ horsepower!

Here's what the exhaust will look like if its a full blown AMG.

AutosRe: 2008 C Class 350 A.M.G Package ( Car That Talks With Human ) by promise72(m): 7:08pm On Nov 12, 2008
I am talking of sales volume here. Better vehicles still come to the US i know. There are low level Benzes and a little more variations in Europe (Like no leather etc, small engine, Diesel engines manual gear etc), hence they can sell more volume. All the ones that come here are "fully Dressed" for the occassion. For the electronically limitation. All you need to do is replace the Chip that came with the car brainbox and walla! you are free!!!

Theres speed limit in the US, hence manufacturer have to comply with the law. The Autobahn have none.

Dinan chips will set you free. No problem. When i see the engine compartment and exhaust (If your exhaust is not dual on each side) You might be blowing a lot of ,
AutosRe: 2008 C Class 350 A.M.G Package ( Car That Talks With Human ) by promise72(m): 6:53pm On Nov 12, 2008
Ok. But for your info, there C300 and C350 AMG package here too. Much alive and well. US is the largest Benz market after Germany but more mature and saturated market hence cars coming here are loaded to the brim.

Will be more that willing to send you the features on a C350 AMG package from the US. You can do your comparison. But for your horsepower claim. Hmmmmmm

Will wait to see the engine too. huh
AutosRe: I Need Your Advice by promise72(m): 3:59pm On Nov 12, 2008
Avalon will be top on my list. The downside is that its a 6 cylinder engine. Uses More petrol. However since you are used to an Acura before. it shouldnt be a problem. Petrol consumption are similar. Avalon is a great car tho.

Next is the Honda.

Last will be mazda if your funds are low.

Good luck

@ Boyeoscar,

What kind of picture is this? Lets see the trucks better. Front, engine, tires, interior (if possible).

You took the pics like the truck doesnt belong to you.

You can do better
AutosRe: 2008 C Class 350 A.M.G Package ( Car That Talks With Human ) by promise72(m): 1:07pm On Nov 12, 2008
Inspire,

Be to differ here. Pardon my being naive here. Befoer you start calling me names or so.Wasnt AMG suppose to have a different fender flare/sculpture? Can we kindly see the engine and the Exhaust pics. A C350 with a 500+ horsepower? Hmmmmm huh

A C350 with AMG package is NOT the same as C-Class AMG (Which should technically be a C63). Or may be i just dont know.

Engine and Exhaust pics pls

AutosRe: Toyota 4runner Price drop 1.2m by promise72(m): 12:19pm On Nov 10, 2008
@ poster,

Laws have been changed now. it is 10yr rule now. So u can still send cars that is 1998/up this year (you have only few weeks) From next year u have 1999/up. As long as the car is on its way before the cut off. u will be fine.

Example if u wanna send a 1998, as long as its already on the boat by the end of this year, you will be fine. Even if it arrives next year.

To answer your question, your 1999 truck is good thru next year december cos its still under the 10yr rule. Law was changed few months ago. Good luck
AutosRe: Shipping Truck From Usa To Ng by promise72(m): 11:50pm On Nov 08, 2008
@ Dieter,

Good info. What you will do is that you have to pay to get it shipped. it will about 1300-1500. im guessing. They cant allow u to put it in the tipper cos it will add to the weight and might throw off loading process. The ship cant be overloaded no matter what.

Also it wouldnt be in their interest to let everyone load their trucks otherwise they will be out of the money they would have charge you in moving the camry wink

So how much is the truck costing to ship? It will be nice if you can share the dimension and weight of the truck. just curious.

Enjoy that baby. Or are u selling it?

>>> PROMISE72 / ADEXFEM

Good evening & apologies for delay in reverting.
Thanks the advice once again, much appreciated and it prooved to be fully correct.

However the dealer has recommended me to a German forwarder with own office & truck receiving yard here in the US.
Booking, customs registration and dock receipt were issued within 6 hours.
As their rate was cheaper than the others, respectively they had space and a sailing - which Shipping International did not have and DESMOND did not reply at all, I contracted with them. Finally I found out that my friend in Germany is shipping with them from Europe, so I do feel confident.
Lets see how it will work out.
Only thing I am not happy about is that they say I can not load anything onto my truck, as I have 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY here as well now and I wanted to load it onto the dumpster.

Best regards
DIETER
Dont hoard the info on the company. The least you could do is share it and be helpful to others who are looking to ship. As a matter of fact i say follow up with your experience and let others know. That is what this forum is all about.
Good luck

ToToChoper:
Try Unit International.

Used this company for my last RORO to Nigeria.They are in Jacksonville, Florida and their number is (+)1-904-744-0273. Ask to speak with Gail or somebody else in export. Their website is http://www.unitinternational.net/
Took the word out of my mouth.Was gonna recommend them too. Havent used them before but spoke wt Gail before and they seem like a very solid company. They broker for Hoegh Autoliners who are one of the biggest company going to Nigeria via RORO.

Getting a booking on RORO is the tough part especially during holidays/Xmas time.

Good luck.
AutosRe: Shipping Truck From Usa To Ng by promise72(m): 8:30pm On Nov 03, 2008
@ dieter,

you can drop me email of your number. i can try to help you out if need be. I'm not a shipper tho.

The truck will run around 5-6000 dollars to get home. Be ready!

However, one thing i kno is that you need to have booked a space with a shipping line (tru a freight forwarder/agent) b4 taking the car to the port. Otherwise it will be rejected without a "dock receipt" A dock receipt is a proof that a booking has been made.

You might be better off leaving the truck wt the dealer to get a booking. otherwise you will be paying twice for towing back and forth.

My email is in my profile. Good luck

Buyers beware.

@ Ndipe,

I dont necessarily think so tho. Beg to differ. Different strokes for different folks. If you have the necessary equipment thats up to snof. you can make it. Connection or not. All an event palnner will do is PLAN. Someone has to provide equipment to make it happen. Thats where you come in.

If you have tier 1 tents, generators, moving van etc. you will make it.
BusinessRe: If You Have Visited Dubai For Business,is 1.5m Naira Enough To Go To Dubai? by promise72(m): 8:29am On Nov 01, 2008
if you wanna go to dubai, here is my analysis. What is the plane ticket price? Hotel cost and estimated transportation cost?

Add all up and what does it add up to compare to the amt you will be spending to buy goods.

Example if all the cost adds up to N100,000. Lets say you plan to spend N1 million. This means that your cost alone is 10% of good. hence when you price your merchandise, you have to price above 10% markup. In other words, anything above the first 10% is your actual profit.

So what it boils down to is that the more amount you spend on merchandise, the less markup margin will be. i.e if you spend N2million to buy thing, it means that your profit will be anything abouve the 5% markup etc etc.

Dont forget other costs like shipping the goods back, customs in Naija, transportation to your shop etc.

If you dont keep these things in mind, it will look that you are making money at first but in actuality you are really losing. Dont be a sucker.

Travelling to Dubai is not always profitable if you dont plan well. May i ask what you plan buying there?

Good luck in your ventures.

Fhemmmy:
So i buy a car from you, and the mileage on it when bought was 40K miles, and i drove it for 2 years, what system will tell how much mileage i have driven? please explain.
This is how it works. Everytime you go for repair at a big dealership, your mileage will be recorded. Even if you don't go to big dealership, your vehicle's registration will have to be renewd yearly. You will be required to do something similar to "road worthiness" or "emission test" to know that your car is not polluting etc and its fit to be on the road.

The govt approved station that conducts the test will record your mileage. CARFAX collect all these data to compile their list.

If you do an emission test a year after you bought the car and its like lets say 52k miles. Then you sold it thereafter. Someone bought it and roll it back to lets say 32k miles. The next time the data is collected (from emission test or so) CARFAX will "flag" that mileage reading. Understand?

Another good source of data is insurance. The keep track when you insure your vehicle. If you have a full coverage. A physical inspection will be done to record the mileage. So if you crash the car and its a total loss, the insurance will pay you based on the mileage of the vehicle.

so you don't have to report anything. It will be tracked. This no be Naija  grin

No one is trying to bait Ziontrain. Hes just wishy washy. He is too clouded by his self interest or latent intention that he changes his position zillion times.

Please read this thread below. Read his post on the 5th entry of page 2. He was trying to get Inspire to sell his car hence his protective tone

Dont confuse a snapshot when new to "long-term" snapshot in terms of reliability, resale value etc. The corolla and civic are still the king any day. If you as an investor wants to bet your $$ on a car that can guarantee a good resale value in 2yrs. Where would you put ur money?

A 2003/2004 corolla still sells for up to 2mill. That explains things. wink
