For a first time car user which is a better buy based on maintenance and availability of spare parts sir
1.) Nigerian used 2003 Toyota Rave 4?
2.) Nigerian used Acura MDX 2007/2008/2009?
I could have considered a corolla but it’s not spacious enough for my work and it’s a target for thieves.
Any better sir suggestions? Thanks
1st time user, rav4

@MPVgoddess. All info were moved to the signature section as suggested by you, and others over here, as regards, the repeated threads being deleted.

Now, when you click on my web address on my signature, this is what you get:


A BLANK DISPLAY.

So, pretty much, there's more than meets the eyes.

We'd definitely overcome all this.

JAH GUIDE, AND JAH BLESS!

The Confusion in town is what's bothering me some school r saying alignment some others are saying No alignment for back

Even when I posted it on a Honda Page on Facebook among whites oh my Gosh they really argued on my matter
Johnsonkeyz2019:
Though I had it fixed somehow Sha went to Gate in Ibadan ND they fixed the Camber or so coz even the tire was kinda bent I guess what they call Negative Camber

But this is it after the Fix

Next is I want to do alignment ND wheel balancing this week coz on Sunday when I sped on a Good express I noticed some vibrations tho like I said I just changed to the newly affected tyre ND I've not done balancing since then
That's what I keep saying about diagnosing cars without seeing the actual car. In this case though, I'm 95% sure that's your problem.

Why wasn't alignment and balancing done at same time? Camber is PART of alignment.. did you watch the video? They're charging you extra for things that are included.

Based on your experience with customers who use both Toyota and American brand what will you say is the common, cause of severed failures.

I my own uninformed opinion, the car has issues in the first place, then the use of. Wrong fluid and the bad roads. Coupled with the first attempt to fix by inexperienced mechanic
I need a little clarification on the question..

You are getting what no other mechanism will touch. A quote of 6 hour work on a Range Rover will surprisingly turn to 18 hours by the time you start undoing the damage already inflicted on it. Same with ford.
And as soon as you fix one, they tell the others that there is one shop like in Kelli that can take their sorrows away. grin
Then boom, they start pouring in. Keep up the good work.
Okay. Passes the smell test. One edge was towed in that hasn't started in months. Got to our shop, saw it's cousins, decided it's problems were not as serious and started on its own grin

Is it now settled that Gear issues in cars are such that eludes all mechanical solutions in Nigeria then warranting the outright purchase of another one for replacement. I have heard people say if the gear has any issue, just discard it and get a new one.
How true is this?

Could you point the Mod reply as regards that? I'd be so glad.

They are original contents from me, and not YouTube links.
Does that means if they are my contents they aren't supposed to be shared?
From responses I've seen elsewhere I think the solution is as simple as putting your contact info in your signature not the body of your post. Try that.

Funny enough a customer was debating on ford edge 08 to 11. She stated that she likes the shape of the edge and I should look for one for her ... she came two weeks later saying she does not want the edge anymore ,that it is Honda CRV ... I said why now , she said she was told by people that ford edge dey give problems ..And she does not want car that gives problem... I said to her people that are saying that are the ones that can't maintain cars.. I said to her American cars are pretty rugged and strong cars. But only issue is that they are not attractive looking and are GAS GUZZLERS ...But over all they are rugged for Nigeria road ... I plain to buy one for personal use ,am thinking either ford edge or xc90 ....

Buy brand new or remanufactured, guide to making a choice


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_27ap_KXpI
You said remanufactured then posted about rebuilt. Make up your mind. A link was already posted about REMANUFACTURED vs new

radautoworks:
This link will explain a lot more about reman and new.

https://www.carid.com/articles/starters-and-alternators-reman-vs-new.html

Sometimes it's as simple as demand and supply but the typical reason is labor. New may be made in a country with cheaper labor but reman is typically in the USA or Mexico and undergoes rigorous testing so they carry same warranty as new.

With the level of immaturity on display here, digging up irrelevant details, old posts, archiving and screen shotting members contribution for future references, diatribes and unending feuds, I wonder how you all became millionaires.
Does the Nigeria economic system reward stupidity or professionalism?

Please if this is a pastime, no one should hold me to my misgivings henceforth as I will be basking in the unending negligence of commonsense.

You both do attack ads, it's a direct means to an end. Irrespective of how it starts, you're both intelligent - so the ads are very subtle and undiscerning to someone who looks at them at face value.

Saw and read his and your earlier responses. Both were well thought out, they weren't random.

I don't want to quote and unquote instances. Incase you and Gazzu.zz decide I'm not eligible for free parts by December.

My oil 4.7 * 2 qtz of 5w30 dey una hands this December
The one I did in response is the one I'm talking about and I'm not proud of it.

Not thought out enough or it won't have been posted at all. I should have simply posted this thread. It's not my modus operandi and won't happen again.

For me, it's oil-tober you are waiting for if this stupid container clears in time.

The selling concept philosophy you and Gazzuzz employ in sales is something I rarely come across.

To some people, it's arrogance and mud slinging (but that in itself is business), the playing field is never even, will never and can never be.

Survival of the fittest it is, anybody who can't see past this facade doesn't understand how group dynamics work with regards to sales, my first gig was in advertising firm - we fought dirty as long as it was legal, no moral compass of any kind.

Seeing this play out on NL brings nostalgia, abeg if una need person where fit help - my services are professional and references available upon request. grin
Oh no! I have to disagree with you on that. That's not my philosophy at all. I don't do attacks ads. If you go back and look, I never start these things. I just end them.

My philosophy with all my companies is just try to do a good job and let referrals speak for themselves. When you engage some people, onlookers start to think you are on equal footing even when that is very false. I forgot that this week.

That being said, it will be very clear from now on that I have no affiliations with any cliques and address each instance individually. Even in real life I don't do cliques and mind my business unless I see something wrong.

Who are the CarTalk mods.

Dear CarTalk mods,

Kindly do not sanitize my thread or give it the Thanos treatment as I have nothing to hide and last I heard, free speech was a thing. Anyone needing to be ignored will be. When a thread is sanitized, the stupidity some people display is hidden which causes them to get attention the next time as people are not fully aware that they need to be ignored and the cycle repeats itself. If a person is a repeat offender, simply ban the moniker permanently. Problem solved.

So I'm asking you. No SNAP.

THANK YOU.
