After nwanneni was offered the free service for his incoming ride from germany by nanaf,he was all smiles as he exited the building.
And baam!he spots radautoworks.sexy,charming,natural,soft.
Ooh.nwanneni exclaimed,what a woman!
Nwanneni,being nwanneni went forward to chyke radautoworks only to find out she is so married but offered her pretty daughter instead(missraine69),since nwanneni is such a nice good looking young man(she still dey do shakara sha).
Obekediamondfuto,from the other end of the hall was so furious i stole the girl he has been scoping for months in a flash.
Nanaf was just smiling and shaking his head from the other end of the hall.
Nwanneni,now calm and happy as ever,placed a call to gazzuzz to apologise for descending on him like a madcow after losing his beloved c230k(sport) and promised to make him one of the dignitaries of the champagne get together nwanneni wants to host at this years end for all selected NL cartalk members.

GAZZUZZ:
Nephew Gives Nana the Vin she asks if that will be all, nephew says please add coolant to the list.

Nana: will you be having the parts installed here?

Uncle: we would love to, but there is one boi that I need to see in sangotedo before he closes.

Nana prints out a proforma invoice........


uncle looks at it and gives the paper to nephew looks at it with eyes wide open, and mouth ajar he gives the paper back to uncle.

uncle asks if the water in the dispenser is free, Nana says yes sir, Uncle tells nephew to go and bring empty gallon from the boot of the car, they fill up the 4litter Gallon and head to the vehicle, they pour the cold water into the leaking Radiator and zoom off! Just then Aunty radautoworks steps out of her office and asks Nana, what just happened?

Nana is also confused

If you have a windfall and buy a new car with 5 years factory warranty and maintenance schedule, there is no major out-of-pocket cost to maintain the car. You just cannot afford the monthly payments. That's all. People don't think 5 years contract at $500/month is a lot until it comes down to payments. Financial situations do change.

If you sell your TV to your neighbour for N40k and he gives you N10k with the promise to pay N2k/ month for the next 15months. After 6 months, he refuses to pay (either bc he has no money or just loves to owe money), and you decide to take your TV back. That's reposession(repo) of your property. Whether he is able to repair the TV or not is not the primary issue. The main issue is inability to pay. There are many factors responsible for the inability to pay which creditors couldn't care less to know.

It's 4 cylinder

I was shocked to read that some stealer ships offers 10 year financing on new vehicles. 10 years? That's like buying a house

Of course the car will look affordable but when you factor insurance, etc

I had a coworker that went into shock when it was time to change the tires on his Hummer. They weren't $80 per tire that he was used to on his Sentra.

I fancy LX470 currently but I know the 10MPG needs to be carefully considered as par too the TCO.

Let me take one more stab at it.

You walk into a dealership with stellar credit report. You put some money as down payment and sign some documents for $500/month for 5 years. 15 months down the line, you lose your job or some unplanned circumstances happen and you are unable to keep up the payments. The car dealership needs their money and do not care about the "story of your life". Every attempt to collect from you fails because you don't have enough disposable income to meet your obligations. They call on the REPO man to get the car back to cut on their losses from the bad deal they made with you. That's how repossession happens. Have you noticed that there is no discussion about maintenance here. My argument is that whoever has his/her back against the wall against car note may not be in the best position to maintain the same car knowing that it will be taken back anytime.

Repo happens because of the customer's inability or unwillingness to meet the payment obligations on a vehicle.

Side note: They do reposses yatchs, private planes, helicopters too. And don't forget default on mortgage, there goes your house. Some American celebrities have had their high-end vehicles repossessed in recent times.

This woman you are just too much.

The engine oil part is so hilarious.

When you say buy oil from GaZzuz they will be speaking grammar but to replace engine no dey hard us.

Understandable. Ever heard of OEM? There are some parts that you want from a dealership and they tell you that the company doesn't make that anymore. Once the five years warranty on a vehicle runs out, an average American car owner dreads going to the dealership for parts/repairs.

Do you expect the cost of changing brake pads to be the same at Coscharis when compared to Gazzuz? You may end up getting the same quality of service. Don't let the banners and fancy waiting rooms fool you.

Repo (repossession for inability to pay) is a very big business in US. Do you think anyone who is unable to afford to pay for a vehicle can afford top-notch maintenance on the same vehicle? Oyibo people are humans too.

Tokunbo vehicles were driven by humans who might not be knowledgeable about cars. Folks to go Walmart/Autozone/PEP Boys and pick the cheapest brand they can afford (mostly greenish). There are "mom and pops" mechanic shops as well as DIYers abroad. 95% of the time, I have used the green coolant in just about every vehicle I had driven without issues. You do not necessarily have to follow every recommendation by the manufacturer (especially Japanese cars) which are not usually high maintenance. More often than not, proprietary auto parts are rip-offs.

It may be that what they are selling in Nigeria may be adulterated or something else. Who knows?

HeavenlyBang:
This comment implies that any car with a charger should be ignored if the prospective buyer is in the market for a vehicle with good gas mileag[/b]e.

No shite, if two cars have the same engine displacement and one of them is charged on top of that, the charged one will guzzle more gas. [b]Isn't that common sense?

My entire comment was pointing out the fact that a car having a charger usually means the manufacturer has opted for a smaller engine, which is helpful for gas mileage, not otherwise as your statement implied. Case in point, W203 C230K vs C240. Supercharged 1.8L i4 vs NA 2.6L V6. The C230K has more power, more torque, and is also more fuel efficient. What's not to love?

nwanneni:
worthless argument!just posting factless random materials.
I am talking from a very solid engineering background.
If you say turbos increase fuel consumption,then i have to stop exchanging words with you girl cos indeed you dont know anything about physics let alone engineering.
Have a nice day

Kewtt:
You have to be very explicit.... stereotyping a brand is quite unacceptable

sultaan:
Which Mazda, for what type of work?

nwanneni:
You are wrong in 2 places
1)kompressor=supercharger and not turbocharger
2)turbo charger does not increase consumption since as it only collects exhaust fumes,cools it and resend it(air) to the engine while supercharger sucks power directly from the engine by the serpentine belt driving it.
