I’m familiar with your username and your long history in this section, so I do know what I’m referring to. Personal? I don’t understand. It’s personal to make conclusions about a person based on his public posts online on a public forum?

I don’t follow
The reason why i quoted you at first was to let you know that the car has 3.3L 3mz.
That's it.
A 3.0L is for the predecessor rx300 . look at picture and look at the one in the links you sent. They're same.
If I'm wrong I'd admit my mistakes.
Afterall we learn everyday.
And I've learnt a lot on the forum.

I've seen toyota harrier on this forum with 2az 4cylinder engine. And the engine cover of a Rx350 was placed on the engine to make it look like a v6.

I realize you like to be considered an authority on Auto Issues on this forum, and that sometimes leads you to make erroneous and even ill informed conclusions.

Creating doubt?

It didn’t occur to you, after reading my message, that I was making an inquiry and expressing my curiosity after making some interesting discoveries about the Advertised vehicle?

It didn’t also occur to you that I wouldn’t make those comments if I didn’t have some information about the subject matter?

Well in this case I do.

I could be wrong, but I’d bet that this isn’t just an American Lexus rx330 with a body kit, and that that isn’t a 3.3l 3mz rx330 engine.

The following are links to regular North American Lexus rx330 3.3l 3Mz-Fe Vehicles with their engine bays displayed. Notice any differences between those and this Vehicle?

https://www.nairaland.com/4415455/registered-lexus-rx330-2005-model

https://www.nairaland.com/4423668/registered-rx330-2005

And the following is a European/Asian/JDM Lexus RX, quite possibly an rx300, badged as an RX330, which is probably what the vehicle in this advert is.

Car TalkRe: Shipping Request by Readonee35L(m): 12:04pm On Apr 01, 2018
chukel:
you are in big trouble if you don't have deep pockets. You will spend up to $2800 to ship that car. No possible way out. You will ship to texas first. Then ship to nigeria. You saw a cheap car on copart in honolulu hawaii and jumped up in joy and bought it. Better you pay $400 and ask that car to be relisted.
A car can be shipped from anywhere depends on the kind of car.
Not wise for cheap vehicles.
People buy cars from california or even Washington.
Do you know if the car is an expensive car? Abi na all motor be $3000? What made you even think its from copart (relist fee 400)?? Sabi Man grin

If one finds a very good deal for a car of $12000 above. Even if its in hawai or los angeles Its worth the money trucking or frieghting it.
Galveston texas shipping to lag is $850.
I dont think he's going to spend more than $1000 max to freight it to texas.
I dont know where you're getting your $2800 quote from.

Interesting specimen.

Is this really a 3.3l V6? Seems more likely to be a 3.0l V6.

This has JDM or some other non- North American styling written all over it but I can't decide which variant it is.

Air suspension?

Curious.
That is a 3.3L V6. If you don't know how 3mz looks like why not search it on the internet rather than saying it looks like a 3.0 1mz.
Creating doubt on someones thread on something you don't know or not sure is not cool.
This is an american Lexus Rx330 not jdm.
It has A body kit thats all.

Car TalkRe: The Deals Behind Cotonou Cars by Readonee35L(m):
erico2k2:
Your last paragraph was what I ha e been trying to say here but glad you said it again .
Bro U know somewhere in 2008 I shipped 2 cars fru cotonou and one fru lagos same time . I did not save more than N40k plus I had to make it in-transit cos shipping directly to cotonou as final destination is more expensive . Then there is the risk cos no Nigerian crosses your car .
Now I agree most people go to cotonou for the fact that there is a wide range to chose from but dnt be fooled . It don't always translate into cheap . So if one pays duty in cotonou and same person pays duty on same car in Nigeria do the maths bro .
Clearing a car from cotonou doesn't favor old vehicles . Because you imported cars back in the day doesnt mean its the same playing ground today.
For instance.
Back in the days when border was opened.


400k will clear a 2005 camry through lagos port.
If you ship the car to cotonou.
You'd first pay about 250k for cotonou duty. The remaining 150k i wonder how you'd use it to arrange its duty when you get to the nigerian border. You might end up spending more.

Besides if it was a. Newer vehicle like a 2017 Benz e class. Lagos duty might be 4-5million naira
To clear same car from cotonou. you might not spend above 2-2.5M.

The problem with you now is you're comparing the days you were in nigeria with the present . You seem to think you know nigeria more from your Office there in the Uk than the people that are here.

There's more to everything you know and there will always be underground process.
P.s I'm not a custom officer or a clearing agent. But I'm just making you aware of some things

How much is a toks accord?

Because the engine and transmission of a vehicle is expensive doesnt mean the car is crazy expensive.
Infact this accord v6 with vcm sometimes is sold cheaper in toks the i4 whose engine is cheaper .

G63 is the best of the three options.
Road issues would make driving the other two unpleasant.
If you drive a G63 you'd know it has a very stiff suspension.
The lx is your best bet . it's going through all those bad roads and bumps like the cloud.

Interesting, the similarities between

Readonee35L and Teddyhoncho.

More interesting is the fact that the Teddyhoncho account was opened only a few days after the thread from Readonee35L was exposed for putting a flooded vehicle up for sale.

Well said. I have an old Pathfinder I tried to dispose off a while ago and after being tossed up and down by the roadside display guys I decided to try out the Cars45 guys. I was surprised that they offered me 300k for a car that I valued much higher than that. I simply drove it away. It was far more worth my while to give it out to someone who needs it than to sell it at forced sale value.
If your car was very healthy. They will price it well.

Its only in nigeria people want to sell old cars for almost the price they bought it.

This pathfinder of yours must have been used by multiple people in america.
It was also shipped here to nigeria at a fraction of the cost probably salvaged.
You've used this car and flogged it.
Used 20w-50
With probably connected fans.
Maybe not first body.
How much do you really think you want to sell it?

300k is a fair price for all this old jalopies . you're lucky someonr wants to buy it. You should have accepted the offer quick.

That car of yours from abroad in the same condition wont sell for more than $500 .

People buy $300 cars that are 10 times better than this nigerian used cars you people have killed.

Were you expecting to be offered a million?

Lmao grin

Just so you know, I got this vehicle VIN long before I asked you to provide it.

And I would never deliberately provide wrong information about a vehicle for whatever reason.
But a car with a reconstructed or rebuilt title means its been salvaged before and it was carefully inspected by the american dmv and it was certified and retitled.

You dont know the reason why it was salvaged at first. Before going ahead to call it accidented. As an inspector that you're wishing to be. You should have paid for a vin report so you can know the real reason.
Rather than being a commando with informations you are not sure with.

There are cars in american dealerships above 30thousand usd with a rebuilt title.
A car can be salvaged with as little as broken bumper. It depends on the customers insurance plan.

A car comes from copart doesnt mean its a writeoff. And there are also lots of accident cars with clean title. Vice versa.

Rather a thorough inspection should be done by the buyer.

Go and get the tokunbo sir.
Plus: that's the steering of the vehicle. It's a sport edition.
Dont waste your time quoting every person on this forum.
Imagine someone who says he knows the tokunbo price is 1.5m but can't even identify the steering wheel of the said car.

Most of this people know nothing. This is a 05 06 camry if I'm not mistaken.
Not all cars can have the same price. Because you dont know the condition and mileage they purchased it with.
If he seems to be sure of the tokunbo.
I dont know what he is doing on this thread. He should go and purchase it where they sell 1.5m ;. . make them scam am or make he buy 2002 camry with 250mile

And here you're calling it rice.

Why didnt you call the less than 150hp corolla s which is a poser with bodykits rice.

* The mileage, the body and the engine doesn't correlate
Confirm bro.
Some miles are highway miles.
I know a 2012 camry with 250k miles that drives like new .

You can't compare Yankee Car with ours here. Some bought brand new Corolla with only 50k miles. Are worse than tokunbo 99 camry .


And don't forget this camry is a v6 with 2Gr Fe engine.
Its 10 times stronger and reliable than the lazy 4plugs which nigerians cherish like gold grin
