Possibly.

It's a reserve/minimum bid auction, could just be the seller holding out for the closest bid as possible to the $5000 Buy-It-Now.

That's what I'm saying. The car shouldn't be having a hard time getting a $5,000 bid from the pictures. There's something we are not seeing that live bidders are

It's a Benz.

Who knows what i should do please?

Who can assist maybe for a fee.

See link below:

https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetails?similarVehicleItemId=31485366&itemid=33698866&sstno=24747767&RowNumber=15

You need someone with a license who can bid for you. Someone trustworthy. With this vehicle though if you get in a bidding war you'll be more than $5,000. Also, it's a salvage title collision which looking at what's visible I'm guessing

a) frame damage or
b) electrical damage because I didn't notice any air bags

If you can't get a mechanic to go with who is helping you bid to look at it first, I wouldn't bid high on it.

Pls between BMW X5 and Mercedes ML 350 2008 which one is more reliable, luxury. As in which one is good for everyday drive? Like as a business man which one is good for normal day to day activities. I’ll like to compare the fuel consumption of the both.

Hello madam |RADAUTOWORKS, Please I have b1615 and b1811 airbag error code in my Pontiac vibe 2005 , please can you help fix or can you recommend somebody. Scared to drive with an airbag error code

Just saw this. B1811 is a clock spring code. For the other one, click the link. It's a PDF that walks you through how to diagnose it yourself if you have a code reader.

FYI, Rad Auto doesn't do the first one. There are kazeems for that.

A proper alignment not only takes care of the "toe" (looking head on the tires not facing straight), but the "camber" (knock-knee).

WE CHARGE ONLY N5,000 FOR A COMPLETE 4D ALIGNMENT IN MOST CASES.

Here is Gold. She does most of our alignments and she's damn good at it.

Labour charge is a disaster mehn. One will approximately be spending about #80K or little more for the repairs

That's one where replacing might make more sense. When we check it out, we always look at both options and see what makes more sense.

I laugh each time I see you bill per hour. I blame your customers who think they are in America. Nobody pays anybody per hour in Nigeria you are paid per month. I know for sure that your workers are not paid by hours logged. Nigerias minimum wage now is still 18k per month. Americans are paid minimum wage per hrs we are paid per month that why your billing system is ridiculous.

Actually, our techs ARE paid by hour so one tech can earn 100 hours in a 40 hour work week so...

2008 Highlander.

What do you suspect needs replacing? An R&I (remove and inspect) the entire engine takes 16.4 hours and the cost applies towards repair when we find out what needs to be replaced. E.g. a head gasket takes 25.1 hours and a cylinder head assembly takes 23.8 hours.

Good evening ma'am. So what's the estimated Labour charge for a Corolla with a shift solenoid valve problem? I understand there would be 6 litres Type T IV transmission fluid purchase.

About 9-10 hours so roughly 45-50k

While we are at it, stop leaks also exist for other systems and we have used them to save radiators, power steering pumps and even head gaskets and transmissions! If its an option, we offer it. If we don't offer it, it's not an option in your case.

To date, I don't think we've replaced any radiators at the shop.. if we have, only one or two. A NLer can attest to that as we've used radiator stop leak to fix their radiator in the past. We always try to find the cheapest way to fix your car permanently.

If I recall correctly I think we also used some on this car https://www.nairaland.com/4803326/misdiagnosed-weird-milex-carquest-rad/1#75273957

Evaporator core leaks cannot be stopped with this product.

Just like stop leak didn't work till you started selling it right? Get a life and stay away from me please. I don't want the lightning to strike me too when it hits you. Maybe finally sell that red Corolla.
