@op here is the disclaimer

it won't be an easy fix....

just tot u should know
.

seems like u have a hard time with auction cars.....

I'd advise u to do proper homework before u go bidding..... it'll go a long way in cutting cost down for u.

Oh Oh.
Next time b4 pointing the gun know the identify the target properly.

obekediamondfuto:
ooiiiii I read u well... in fact u r the star of the thread but after this ur comment came the balls buster.....


"Car is actually an easy fix"

which sealed the deal BTW op and his broker....... probably cos op is banking on ur recommendation of an easy fix...


THIS IS NOT AN EASY FIX @ ALL

especially the rear, and spending 350k max is just somehow to me..... u will have to change and change and except u are advising him to buy knock offs then only suspension parts can take him back @ least 50k we haven't talked about body parts.... then radiator... oem...... bumpers toks not new...... headlamps etc panel beater.


then rear bottom booth straightening..... before parts assembling.......

Bros except u r dashing him ur mechanic and subsidizing parts for him then any 350k total fix on this vehicle cannot being it to factory specs just to a mere drivable condition with poor cloned parts even the paint...... how can someone call that kinda car tokunbo?


leave airbag sef

I won't go down any long chat with you.

But beware . op didnt make the decision because of me because this car has bin won on auction before opening this thread.

Op won the car and was unsure if to proceed again because he feels the car repairs might be more expensive thats why he opened this thread. Either way the owner of the account wont let him go scot free because he has to make a $400 payment to return the cat to copart. If you check the ops profile he has also bought a dead ford explorer which he began wailing after finding out the shipping fee.

I never encouraged anybody to buy anycar. So before quoting me with this kind of message read my comments properly.


And before you start writing your long epistle about clone or cheap whatever. Make sure you have the proper link.
When you break your camry head light make sure you buy it from cocharis make them use pumping machine suck your packet.

Have a nice sunday

thebigkendo


this statement is quite scary,,,,,,, if this is an easy fix then what would readonee35l. call a hard fix considering we Nigerians like doing things the hard way


cc cosplay..... do we have vehicles in Nigeria that we can call a "Hard fix" using this vehicle as a measuring yard stick signifying an "Easy fix"?

please we need to know oh

I already made this comment before you should probably read it again.

If there wasnt a rear collision affecting the chasis. And it was just the front crash with no deployed airbag then its kind of an easy fix.
Because all parts will be replaced . Note all this parts are removable and disposable parts hence the easy fix.
Bonnet
Bumper + grill
Headlights
Left fender
Radiator
Front frame if destroyed .
And some minor things
Plus oven bake and co.

Pictures are quite deceiving this vehicle might also have a damaged sump or transmission .

But since it has a rear collision that affected the quarter panel . a panel beater has to work on that back. i dont like such repairs because car will look dull . i like them sharp smiley smiley

I dont like cars like this because most of our panels dont set their bumpers properly. But many end users in nigeria tell agents to bid It for them because they want to save costs

obekediamondfuto:
350k?
I should disagree but this is ur trade.... hence I need to confirm from. others in the trade


cc Gazuzz abeg give us replacements cost estimate + breakdown


cc aunty radu, please give us repair costs + breakdown of parts to be rebuilt /repaired

.
Mind you if parts are available .
The front of this car could be fixed in a day. Because you are simply removing bad parts and replacing them.
The issue with the car is the deployed airbag and that rear collision which would involve lots of body work which i do not like.

I only do auto importation for personal use for now .
But i have a vast experience about this more than many dealers.

obinna222:
Thanks Boss

Mr obinna do you still cars.
You have nice deals

Theres nothing like 2014/2015 .
This is a 2014 vehicle.

If you have a 2015 camry produced in 2014 to sell you wont downgrade it by calling it 2014/2015 .

3600Mah battery? When will all these so called 'big' phone makers have sense? Hian...

Until you have phones thay exolodes in your face.
3600mah is more than enough for Gods sake it is not a satelite phone.

A phones battery life is no by big battery. Cpu type, optimisation e.t.c plays a big role in battery life.

I have a lg g6 with only 3300mah the battery lasts me for the whole day.

Snowkel:
U are as dumb as your reply ,my reason for asking such are cuz of some of my concerns,which u r too dumb to actually fathom.
i love sport,but some friends of mine r advising me since I'm gonna be making use of it for Uber or taxify it will not be a preferable choice since sport is low and padded,and some Lagos road r that bad,that it might disfigure the car easily in no time,while Corolla LE ain't as low as that ,but I really don't fancy it.
so my reason for asking such is for those who actually own a car like sport to actually shed some light .
but since u neither have a bicycle or a bike ,u decided to unleash ur frustration by spewing rubbish.

You want feedback and advice yet youre fast to call comeone here dumb because they ate telling you the bitter truth. Commom sense is not commom i guess.

You said it your self that corolla sport is low amd padded while le looks bland but with better clearance.
What light do you want corolla s owners to shed please ?? That you should raise your shock and put 20 inch venza wheels ?
Or you should remove all the padded bumper..

If you already answered your own question yourself. If you care so much about ground clearance pick the le. If the corolla s is appealing to you and you drive carefully, pick it.

There thousands of corolla s on lagos roads everyday .

I dont think this diesel benz is a fast car.
Non the less lots of cars will teach you lessons on the highway. If you see a rav4 v6 , acura tl, maxima or altima 3.5L and co . they will send you back to the east

Some of us enh.. Na Danfo dey rush

Note to self.. Always horn before passing any Danfo picking/dropping passengers

Lagod is filled with mad , rétarded , and mumu drivers .

To drive no be small work because i dont like car scratch.

In a sane climate driving is easy. But in lagos you have to protect your car. I keep swerving from everything and dodging other vehicles which i even have no business with in traffic. I give them space at my side before them go break mirror . no be small work .
But if i para i no they give road .

hisgrace090:
Pls give it to corola, I use 2.4 Camry but body is way too lite. Bumber also too lite.

Bumper is too light ??
Is this suppose to be a ramming vehicle or how did you test this?.

Am i the only one without bumper hits or scratches despite my fast driving sometimes.

Most of you guys are not careful . 9ja drivers i hail
Una go use motor nack anything

mmb:
I have decided to go for the car. Thanks for yoyur advice and fro running a vin check. I appreciate

You'd be alright .
Car is actually an easy fix .

mmb:
everything is included, except Nigeria customs fee

Have you decided. To pay for this vehicle. Or not ?


I had spare time today. So i decided to do some investigation on the car.
Car is 2011
Last reported odo was 150k miles.
The car shows no sign of life (odometer is inoperable )
I would have been concerned about the shipping since its a runner but i guess you have a quote already. Which is not bad for vehicle location.
Fixing the airbag to work properly will be a problem. Depends if you are keen on it.

Did you tell them to bid on this car on your behalf.
If yes i dont think you can escape it.

But if no then you can source for one with less damage

tubabs2002:
I have a Toyota Corrola 2003 model that was involved in an accident weeks ago.. The bottom sump of the gear got broken into pieces.. My mechanic couldn't get the sump at ladipo.. Lately I was told it was a Toyota matrix gear that was inside the car.. If anyone have or know where I can get a Toyota matrix gear sump with 5 pin, please kindly contact me on my watsapp 08063831850.thank you

Post this topic in the cartalk section .
Youd get response there.

Mankosi:
So Asia have a large population of believers

This is new to me

yourboss:
I'm having this question for the auto gurus and those who can talk from their experiences.

Between Toyota corolla and Toyota camry which can stand rough roads (new site roads been motorable but little rough) without developing fault easily?

Those two cars are not rough.
They are not off roaders neither do they have rigide suspension.
They are not suvs or even pick up .


I see You are looking for a beater.
You want a car to rape and abuse.

A sedan and bad roads doesnt go in the same sentence

mmb:
the car's price is extremely low. It is the cheapest.

how much is the car in usd + auction fees . wheres the location of the car

Chai
Labadi
Vienna city
Kanaeshi
Circle
E.t.c
Popo dn burst everywhere

mmb:
how much will that cost me?

I have only tomorrow to decide whether to pay.

There are better cars to bid for at almost the same cost.

You have till tomorrow to pay ?
Did they bid on this car on your behalf ?
Has it been bought ?

mmb:
the driver airbag
Readonee35l

Driver and knee airbag
Plus airbag module

Toyota Aristo

thebigkendo:
Back to the topic.. I still believe OP should go for another muscle with less damage

If there wasnt a rear collision affecting the chasis. And it was just the front crash with no deployed airbag then its kind of an easy fix.
Because all parts will be replaced . Note all this parts are removable and disposable parts hence the easy fix.
Bonnet
Bumper + grill
Headlights
Left fender
Radiator
Front frame if destroyed .
And some minor things
Plus oven bake and co.

Pictures are quite deceiving this vehicle might also have a damaged sump or transmission .

But since it has a rear collision that affected chasis then panel has to hit the vehicle . i dont like such repairs because car will look dull . i like them sharp

I dont like cars like this because most of our panels dont set their bumpers properly. But many end users in nigeria tell agents to bid It for them because they want to save costs

thebigkendo:
Marked point looks like deployed airbags to me.. I might be wrong though..

My point was you probably did not factor in the module reseting & airbag price..
Abeg where dem dey reset airbag module for lagos Pray tell... Iyam interested

Not done locally .
My modules actually go out and come back in . sometimes used ones with cleared data sourced from ebay for cheap!!!

That doesnt look like airbag. But more of a file maybe documents

thebigkendo:
Bros at that price enh,you are just talking cosmetics. Am sure SRS malfunction light will be ON or taped of by kazeem..
Impact sensors and new SRS module are not included in your estimate.

mmb Airbags will not deploy again,if it ever gets involved in another accident. Abeg bid for another car with less damage and in which airbags did not deploy.. For the safety of you and your loved ones..

Does the picture contain airbag damage ?
If this car is directly from the insurance then theres no magic modified on it yet. So if there was curtain airbag deployment in the car it should visible from the pictures.

If at most theres a deployed airbag. Probably driver airbag and knee airbag.
Reseting the module doesnt exceed 25k -30k
The steering airbag is not so expensive either because its very common among various toyota products.

So please pick another point
