The leather in GS is more premium, that of the infiniti has questionable origins.

For and finish should not even be compared between a Lexus and Infiniti. It's not even close.

Yes yes yes that true.

So the only way people with permanently block account can get an account is either they change their name on their driver’s license in their next renewal or better still open and account with a close friend or relative then use the share ride option available on the app with you photograph on it. I doubt if the 2nd option will out well because of the name on that drivers license.

So best option is to have a change of name on your drivers license then get a fresh account with the new name simple.

Sometimes I am so tired of this country

Yes that's the fact, a lot of them end up cancelling.

But it shows a quote before you order the car. What kind of nonsense is that?

My mom's. I may have taken it on a joy ride when they went to Ibadan on a trip grin

Got it fixed before they got back though. Didn't tell them till I was 32. Guess that was foreshadowing wink

Thanks Radautoworks

Maybe I shouldn’t have compared. Thing is, I’m tired of Toyota for now.

Is 2008 Ford Edge a solid car?

In terms of reliability, ease and cost of maintenance and resale value in Nigeria

See here for one. Ford edge has been debated a few times on the forum. https://www.nairaland.com/5424643/repairs/11#84602667

Compliments of the season

Please I need comparisons of 2008 Ford Edge vs 2008 Toyota Rav 4, in terms of:

Reliability
Cost/ease of maintenance (cost of spares and access to good mechanics) Toyota
Ease of repairs Toyota
Second hand value Toyota
Drive and comfort for long journeys Ford

I know right....

I use the JLR Mongoose for LandRover/Jaguar and the Toyota Mongoose....

Yup. I felt it was more cost effective to get the cardaq than the mongoose since we get all types of cars. The mongoose series are a great alternative for specialization

Drew Tech taking the lead

I chop ban yesterday so I no fit answer grin

Most of the big names like snap-on are Drew tech stripped down or older generation. If you really mean business, Drew tech's products require a laptop for use with the passthrough device. They make the only oem approved pass throughs and actually pioneered this field. They also allow for manufacturer OEM subscriptions for OEM level flashing and programming for almost all systems for most cars. They are NOT for novices.

Drew tech makes:
Snap On (Pass Thur Pro III)

Launch Tech USA (J-Box 2)

Ease Diagnostics (Universal Programmer II+)

M2K (Wizard)

AE Tools (AEZ Flasher 2)

That being said, it takes a lot more than a good scanner and common sense to fix cars.

Agbabiakara:
I expect this thread to show us (spectators) the areas in which a specific scan tool excels. This will enable us make an informed decision whenever we are ready to get one. I intend to get a snap on zeus just because of its graphing capability and the fact that it comes with a scope. But the price is killing. I know maxisys mk908p is a good scan tool but i doubt its graphing capability. I know it has a passthrough device that can program bmw and benz modules. The price too is a factor. I have realised that a good scan tool is expensive. Launch diagun iv is not bad. It excels on all brands, especially european cars. Any other good scan tool out there with all-round capabilities... Ideas needed

Drew technologies makes most of them including snap on. They made the first scan tools. The question is what range of capabilities do you want?

Honestly ma'am, not all of us can afford the bills that come with owning good cars. You really can't blame us for craving& taking shortcuts and in the end ruining the poor automobile . You need the vacay ma'am. Lol

I get it. It's the insanity of repeated parts replacing and/or complete nigga-rig of cars that get me. I'm all for used parts and cheap labor but some things you hear mechanics tell people and they swallow it just...

And if they tell you 1 and it fails and they tell you 2 and it fails, do you really need to go to 8 before you decide it's too much?? All in the name of trying to save money when you could have spent a fraction of the cost at a reputable place to tell you what is wrong then take it elsewhere to get fixed.
