Thanks radautoworks and bigkendo

What do you guys think about a V6 07/08 rav 4. I hear the v6 of rav 4 is not as reliable as the 4 plugs version.

Can someone enlighten me please...

Is it a good SUV to buy? What should I look out for?
The v6 is 200times better than the 4plug.
And fuel consumption is about 2mpg difference.
Car TalkRe: Ford Explorer Owners: Please Share Your Experience! I'm About To Buy One. by Readonee35L(m): 12:56am On Oct 28, 2018
johnabraham:
i am a proud owner of 2013 explorer limited edition, it has 77424 kms on the odometer now. it was bought brand new from coscharis by the first owner. i am the second owner. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED FLUIDS and change at regular intervals. service the vehicle regularly. do not take it to road side kazeem. mine is maintained by oga Gazzuzz. parts bit expensive but a sturdy and reliable vehicle. doesn't develop problems easily. not too complicated to repair.
At 77k km your car is still very young.
Aside oil i dont see anything that should need extra hand on the vehicle
So what has taken you to the mechanic ?

I repeat any one who bought a vehicle from you recently should check the validation of those documents at any Customs processing centre.

A colleague of mine recently went for capturing after 30days of processing his driving certificate. This happened in Abuja.


Please inform your person to be sure about the Officer who is processing it. It could be that the Officer is yet to initiate the process of procuring the driving certificate, hence the delay or that the driving school in question is having some technical issues.
It took me over a month to caption for renewal in lagos.

My friend please learn to be civil. This is an anonymous forum and you do not know what each member does for a living. The way you are defending this duty I am beginning to have strange feelings about the duty of all the vehicles you have been advertising here. If I recall correctly you are not adverse to being extremely dishonest with your adverts of vehicles you have advertised here. You have been exposed several times on these boards. I would advise any one who has bought a vehicle from you in the past to visit the Customs processing centre of any port to confirm the validity and genuineness of the documents accompanying such vehicles.
If we are to find who is dishonest it should be you. Because you claim to know the illegal things in the port. You claim to know what they do in oluwole style.
You should be queried from where you got your source.

I now conclude you know nought about activities in the ports. Stick to selling cars please. Stick to being a middle man please.
How do you know the vehicle paid duty since you are not the owner of the thread or are you using various alternates?
The OP has been found to be dishonest with his advert,how do we know if duty was paid on the vehicle?
Go to bed mr man.
If you hear things from people that are ahead of you always ask for clairty before you rant them .
As a slowpoke you think I'm a middle man lol grin .

It is obvious you know nought about activities in the Nigerian ports.
I am sure you might have heard of "machined outside" entries and documents which is a process whereby no customs duty is paid but documents are forged in Oluwole style and the vehicles/containers are then smuggled out of the ports with connivance of security agents/NPA staffers/shipping company officials and crooked customs agents.
Secondly there is the method called "flying" of vehicles in which no documents are provided and the vehicle is fraudulently smuggled out of the port gates and fake documents are later procured for the vehicle in Oluwole or at Nnewi buildings.
Please do not talk about what you don't know.
This vehicle has duty.
If you dunno you keep mute.
No be this kind motor them they runs, not worth the stress.

Car TalkRe: Advice Needed For A Sienna: 2gr Engine Or 3mz Engine by Readonee35L(m): 10:58pm On Oct 21, 2018
eRex:
What about fuel consumption?
The 07 Sienna with 2gr 3.5l has slightly better fuel economy, more power , more stable and efficient.

The 2grfe is a big upgrade to the 3mz
Car TalkRe: Advice Needed For A Sienna: 2gr Engine Or 3mz Engine by Readonee35L(m): 4:39pm On Oct 21, 2018
The newer the better.
The 2GR is more advanced, slightly better mpg, more rugged .
Basically i don't see any disadvantage because the 2gr is almost indestructible despite the little errors they have they can stand the test of time.

The only disadvantage would be the cost of an engine replacement. But with proper maintenance the Engine will last the entire lifetime of that car.

I'm not aggrieved about anything.

I find it amusing though that u will term it as a distasteful exercise and a lame attempt to come out as an educated motorist simply because I used the right nomenclature for an engine. Quite frankly, I just find it easier to; it doesn't matter how you feel about it. While your inputs would've been appreciated, you don't matter that much.

It's my thread and my project. If u find anything distasteful, u shd excuse urself rather that stoop to this level of childishness sir.
Mr man You owe nobody no explanation.
The person tackling you also uses ambiguous words in his explanations. Now he's finding your words distasteful. Very funny. If anyone can't find out the meaning of Engine model numbers and their generations, then they don't belong here.
Do your thing and move. You get time to they explain grin
Smh .

For example . If i intend to describe Toyota 2GR-FE . He expects me to use 3.5L v6 when of course there are different 3.5L v6 depending on specification, application e.t.c

Who knows where I can refurbish my chrome rims in Abuja?
4.0 L 1UZ-FE V8 95-2000 Gs400
4.3 L 3UZ-FE V8 this engine from the 99-2005 Gs430 with a 5speed auto.

I don't know but i think this engine and transmission together should be cheap to buy because they are bullet proof and have very very low demand here in 9ja.
But the electrical aspect that i dont know. You'd need a Evil electrician to handle

Bros all dis you are saying is story.. Scam dey everywhere but

Mr Whiteman 1 out of 5 cars is fraud
But naija dealers 4 out of 5 is fraud..

Mr Whiteman sells you are more salvaged car than you expected or displayed.. But still declares it salvage..

Naija dealer nko? He will swear on his parent grave car was never involved in an accident..

Just last week, Somebody I know bought a toks 07 corolla...Immediately I saw the car with brand new shining headlamps.. I Knew it had front impact accident but in my mind I felt accident might not be too severe.
As the baba put licence plates, I used the lagos licence to get the vin number...
Accident was serious, airbags deployed
Colour was even changed... From white to gray.
We both know very soon the new colour will start peeling.

Car was sold to the old man as accident free, first body, factory AC. Worst part he bought it from a family friend at slightly above present market price because he probably believed the sweet mouth of his family friend.. This car is not accidented, all does cheaper ones are accidented.

As long as it has reach nigerian dealer matter.
Thread will be derailed.
If you know what yankee dealer has done my crew.
2017 C300 from dealer. Mr Whiteman said it has salvage title because of minor front impact.
Toor when motor reach client here in nigeria . all parking sensors and front accesories were malfunctuoning. Car had serious crash.
This thing will happen anywhere in the world and seller will tell you title is salvage for something minor. But note that there is different type of Minor grin.
If you check many reviews of dealers in the usa you'd read horror stories.

The worst of all is in Car Auctions.
scams of the century. Where you meet the Con White men from california and co.
They will package fufu and dead cars for you.
If a non experienced dealer comes across these kind of vehicles. Na gbese because he will bid lots of dollars thinking its a clean car. But its the complete opposite. Stripped accident cars with stolen airbags , sensors , ecu's e.t.c
Pictoral examples below .

I know someone who bought 2017 E300 from Copart. By the time car got to him in his city, the car was a scrap run and drive. If you pop the trunk na ground you go see bastards had gut the whole trunk, no airbags or sensors. The car was properly packaged with bumper covering everything. Imagine the car being for export. Na when motor comot for port you go know wetin you enter. And many dealers enter this trap. Especially does buying expensive benz, toyota, lexus from the auction.
I have just one advice.
If you are going to buy auction cars. AVOID NON INSURANCE SALE. if its sold by reseller or dealer . Run unless its cheap .
