Exactly my thought but I disagree with the term "illegal"
I'm on the fence about it too. The act itself is not but assets can be frozen because of it.

FWD 3.0 l V6 duratec engine.
You can see 3 cylinders in the front the other 3 are in the back under the manifold will need to service engine and transmission very soon will post pics.

The car offered far more than Honda accord and Toyota Camry.If you car find a 2010 Cary or accord with reverse sensor, Bluetooth, satellite radio, sub drive and voice commands let me know. A new Titanium trim of this model is well loaded
To make up for it's crappy resale value grin

All years and models of Ford sir smiley

Also, y'all know Ford is not making cars in North America any more right? Just trucks, the focus and the mustang. GM way planning to do the same I'm not sure if a decision has been made yet.

So... Probably not best idea to buy a Ford car now because in the future there will be no parts. Same as Daewoo did.

Thanks for your input sir. Radautoworks, can you now see my point? That's why i decided to invite this reliable shipper into this discuss. It's now again confirmed that a brand new car can be shipped into Nigeria. If you know your way, it definitely will come in.
Ask him if it was titled previously or not and if the dealer knew it was for export. Also, what country did it come from? My facts are about the USA. Did you read the first link which is the official government customs site?

Also, why does a new car have a dent? Obviously it wasn't straight from dealer and if it was and they keep doing it, sooner or later they will catch up to them. A word is enough for the wise. Do what you want.

These are the proper specs for your car. You will need a full 5 litres/quarts of 5w30 for an oil change. You do not need synthetic. You can use conventional if you choose. Just keep up with the recommended mileage and/or time between changes as appropriate.

It means if getting this, i will be purchasing 2 Gallons because the coolant in the car will have to be flushed completely befofe adding a new one. 1 Gallon won't be enough.
In that case, but buy the concentrate and miss mix yourself. Saves money. What kind of car?

OMG what was I typing the first time...?

Say what you like, you cannot buy a brand new car abroad and ship it to Nigeria anymore....

Dealerships have clamped down on it.

Car has to be used in the abroad first.


Thank you. Dealerships even stamp "not for export" on the title now.

Fastshipping, I need your input
I used to work for two car dealerships and still have contacts. The last three cars in my family, we had to buy demos with less than 5000 miles that had been titled because there dealers are no longer allowed to see brand new vehicles for import.

It is not enough to title it. It also has to change title once if you don't want to wait.

Yes sir.
No you can't. You would have to buy new, title it, then hold for a year before you can ship it

Can one export a brand new car from USA?? I mean 0-20 miles brand new
No. It has been illegal for years. The dealership will get fined. It's to protect sales of overseas dealerships which were getting decimated by imports from USA

Dear Aunty Radu,

I have been a silent reader,
Car vibrates when AC is ON and I have checked engine seat but they look fine. What are the likely culprit.
Corolla 2003

Thanks
It could be a number of things. Most basic, check your Sparks and fuel injectors. If you're in Lagos, just bring it in for a diagnosis. You'll be in and out quickly.

Yup... Or at least keeping them limping if not fully mobile.

We used them all the time in USA. Difference being the parts are usually good and most of them give you some kind of warranty/return period

Do you have this coolant in pink colour? 2006 Corolla is the car.
This is the right coolant for your car. Will last you 5 years or 150,000 miles N10,220. Already mixed so just pour.

Countermars:
if you're lucky to get a mechanic that has access to butchers. Accidented vehicle, I mean cars that crashed and the owner lost hope in it. These mechs harvest vital parts and sell. Follow come engines original 02 sensor, it's usually removed cos of it's intrinsic value. You might be lucky to get a good mech n price. Most mechs do buy these parts from these sources
In other words, a junk yard/man

Have the same issue on my ES330. What was the fault? I think my culprit is a leak at a junction.

Will definitely put up the review.

It was a leak in the condenser so the refrigerant was low.
