AutosRe: Is This Car Expensive? by promise72(m): 11:05pm On May 30, 2009
Delta007:
The VIN suggests it's an '02.

However, I doubt that's the original mileage. I find it hard to believe a 7yr old camry has only 80k (km/miles), if miles, might be a little believeable; Camrys are not luxury vehicles that u bring out only when the sun comes out, but then you get what you pay for, just my 2kobo!
Let the VIN do the talking on the mileage. All car depends on who owns it. What if its owned by a govt worker and works locally? Drive to work and back. No travelling per se. So many older people drive camry. They dont travel as much.

I bought a classic 1977 Celica GTS Coupe about three years ago with only 29k original miles. Sold it a year later for $7800. Was bought brand new in 1977 by a 60yr old lady. She had the car the entire time until the passed in 2006. I was the second owner. The car was immaculate! The buyer was really happy.

There are so many 2002/2003 camry's out there with less than 50k miles still. But if you bring them ppl go start grumbling. Cost too much!! undecided

Stories go begin about how much e dey sell for berger etc. They will start to offer yeye money angry

Lets see the VIN report and the car pics.

Thanx a lot.

The VIN is 4T1BE32K12U629123

Kindly check this for me.
The pics will be the most determining factor in making judgement along with the VIN. There are lots of raggedy cars with clean VINs out there. undecided

hahahaha r u suprise that ur car is still available but dont forget that is going to be availble untill u sale the normal price others are seling cuz my friend just bought his own  2002 model with full option at 750k and ur here calling price for 2000 model
It will run about $2600 just to ship and clear a 2002 Babyboy (That roughly about $1300 to ship and another $1300 to clear). With the falling rate now and the purpose of this argument, i am going to assume a rate of N170 to $1. That will put you about N442,000. Remaining an equivalent of $1760 to buy car and make profit huh

Did you say a full option 2002? Even a Nigerian used (if its a good one with no issues) will not sell for that. Even if someone steal from the US, i dont think its worth the effort for only $1760.

I will like to believe you but i dont. Unless something is wrong with the car itself. YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
AutosRe: 2008 Toyota Highlander (bossy in nature) by promise72(m): 2:48pm On May 30, 2009
kuntash:
what engine capacity are u selling?

a 2.7L double overhead cam (DOHC) 16-valve dual VVT-i as indicated in ur advert or a 3.5L V6 FI DOHC 24V.

I dont think this your ride has less than 24 valves. double-check and confirm else you will have to sell it for 4M grin
Obviously its a mistake in description. It clearly shows V6 at the back. Hence it cant be a 16-valve. its a 24v 3.5L engine undecided

If you have money to burn, keep driving /looking for a BMW. Otherwise, look for a TOYOTA CRESSIDA. Save money and build a house, then drive a cressida. Stop flushing money down the drain. undecided

AutosRe: Lhd Conversion Expert In Lagos Holla; C/o Erico2k2 by promise72(m): 3:27am On May 29, 2009
As far as i can tell, looks like your interior matched a 1999-2003 Acura TL here in the US. Definately not Accord in the US.

I believe your car is Called Honda Adidas in Naija. We dont have that here in the US. The Acura ism the closes cousin. Find a dash from Belgium/Germany or get Acura from US.

Why dont u just save money and buy car from the US here?  Save a lot of headache  grin

Here is the picture of US Acura

Good luck.

AutosRe: Ultra Clean 2003 Nissan Murano (sl, Awd, Detailed Pix Attached) by promise72(m): 2:43am On May 29, 2009
@ SuperChg,

Thanks.

Unless the owner has a different VIN for the car, i guess its what it is. Just as it was posted. A friend of mine was looking to get something like that. I told him about that car. I can send it but friend want the car immediately. Price seems good too, unless of course its not a clean title.

Lets see what the owner say about the VIN. I hope its a wrong VIN posted. We'll wait

Thanks a lot.

AutosRe: Cat Generator Experts Needed! by promise72(m): 11:06pm On May 28, 2009
My question to the house will be if its possible to "derate" a CAT gen from the US in nigeria to put out 50hz as opposed to the 60hz its design for here in the US.

@ poster,

what software? may be i can ask around. i dont work on them but can knock on some doors just in case.

Also, if you dont mind, i will like to have some info on fast moving CAT parts(tokunbo used) in Nigeria. If possible with their street prices. I am talking of the parts that if i take it home, it will not last 1 week before i sell it all.

You can post the answer here or just send me email: promise72@yahoo.com

Thanks
AutosRe: Us Residents With Knowledge Of Car Auction Centres by promise72(m): 6:14pm On May 28, 2009
archemedes:
@thanks alot promise for you time. Are you a dealer yourself? I have a friend in San Francisco who can help me with the purchase if buying from California is cheaper in terms of shipping. Do you know the shipping cost?. Do you have idea of the cost of 2002/03/04/05 Toyota Camry and VW Passat? Which is the most cost effective way, buying off from owners or thru auction? Do you know of any site where car owners advertise? I have checked www.cars.com but it seems to be more expensive than buying through auction. what is you advise?
Starting with, yes i am a dealer. However, your question is somewhat loaded. There's a lot of price difference between 2002 tru 2005 camrys. Better still what u need to do is state your desire specs (leather, color,mileage, LE/XLE etc) that will help us in narrowing the focus a bit. Also, ur budget is important, I can tell u whether ur expectation is realistic or not ($$$ is coming down a little grin) expected to drop some more.

If i will buy it for you, this is how it will go. I will have to probably travel to Florida (since its 2 cars, its worth it) or New Jersey to get the cars. This will help u in shipping RO-RO. Theres no RORO from California. RORO shipment is a little cheaper and will get to you faster. Shipping from San Francisco is a little bit more hassle for you and expensive.

Also, does the car has to be necessary clean title or looking for salvage? I will charge for going down to Florida for you but your requirement/need will be the way we determin how we approach this issue.

Whichever way we go, i can guarantee that the car will at least meet your expectation. I know it will exceed but i dont wanna be accused of bragging so i will at least meet ur expectation.

So send me an email at promise72@yahoo.com You can give me some details. i will explain better.

I am ready when you are.
AutosRe: Us Residents With Knowledge Of Car Auction Centres by promise72(m): 2:11pm On May 28, 2009
Unfortunately, i dont live in Texas. I live in California. Your friend's time restriction will be a little bit problematic. Your requirement will require a bit of time devotion. Needless to say, it will probably require a dealer's license to access some clean car auction. otherwise, he will have to buy off the street or from personal owner (to save on taxes).

Your Shipping option is two. You can ship via container or ship via RO-RO. To ship via RO-RO, car will be moved to Florida (Jacksonville) from Texas (will cost extra) to ship. No RORO option from Texas for small cars.

Hope this helps.

AutosRe: Toyota Hiace Bus (hummer Type) Needed by promise72(m): 1:11pm On May 28, 2009
kioboy:
thanks for your concerns, anybody in nigeria knows what is call hummer bus, (not Hummer jeep o) maybe you live outside the country. well offline i have already gotten offer, i only came to ask online cos there are alot of car sealers here that sell cheaper than the normal car stand. beside i was talking according to my pocket for now. atleast if i can get the price here that is more cheaper, i can work to increase my budget.
Which is very tru. What you need to realise is that many more dealers live in Europe who might be helpful also. Most Nigeria nicknames dont transfer to here/europe. You should make yourself clear. You dont know who can be of help.

Good luck
AutosRe: Us Residents With Knowledge Of Car Auction Centres by promise72(m): 1:03pm On May 28, 2009
where do u live? You need to specify what type of auction you are looking for (clean title, accident etc) Some auctions require membership or dealers license i must let you know.

Good luck

HI car dealers

pls kindly help, i need to buy toyota hiace bus (Hummer type) can 1.5 million get me the 2005 model at top grade? urgently needed.
Not everyone know what is a "Hummer type" hiace looks like. May be you need to post a picture. Between you and me, its hard to imagine how 1.5m will get you a decent 2005 car talkless of a bus. I just want to give you a heads up. You need to be realistic.

I hope you get what you looking for
AutosRe: Toyota Camry 94/95 For Sale ( With Pictures) by promise72(m): 3:11pm On May 27, 2009
This is not a 1995. it has to be a 1994 or older. However, its a very clean one and i dont think that 650k is a bad price. Someone should jump on this quick quick. It will be gone in no time.

Someone is pricing 400k  huh  Na wah for Nairaland o!

More engine pics and mileage will be ideal.

Good luck.

whats the mileage? pics? fresh TOKS will be about 900k-1m if clean. So if its really in good shape, it might be worth it. kinda hard to say without seeing pics or the mileage.

Good luck
