Romance / Re: Nigerian Men And The Craze To Marry Foreigners by Rickpapi: 12:12pm On Jul 06, 2019
spiritedtete:


98.99% of Nigeria women are dream killers.. selfish, and unsupportive. (Majority).

Many dont even know the exact thing the want in life... just give them money and you have successfully put a chain in their neck.

On the flip side I am not in support of marrying for greed though.. many naija men who married absurdly hardly end well too. Like marrying your grandma for what na?
Very true...
Just like the idiot I'm in a relationship with, always making it seem like men need women more than women need men. I'm just hanging in there because honestly I'm already looking for ways to japa and get married to some better intellectually mature white lady.

you just jam pack everything together but let me answer your questions as simple as I can

1. Yes the ES330 is a good car shouldn't break a bank on maintenance

2. Due to our harsh weather, the painting on cars would fade as time goes by, but you can reduce this by not using powder soap or all those local soaps (vehicles have specific soap for washing), you can also wax the vehicle to give it that shinning look. I personally don't wash my car I just use water and rag and I am happy after all only my opinion counts.

3. When a vehicle is faulty it gives sign, but above all it gives sign on the dash (called check engine light) scanning is just a way to retrieve code to know exactly what is faulty in the car since an abnormal symptom can be caused by several car parts and you don't want to change all those parts.

4. Used car is used car and parts aren't meant to last forever when the parts would fail nobody knows and nobody can determine just set aside some cash for shocks and bushings they are first to give way after tasting our road surface, then tyres too for safety.

lastly you can register with Gazzuzz and sons Nigeria limited grin they do accept your model year, they can assist with prepurchase inspection, they do service and maintenance too then finally he can always help you scan and repair when trouble starts

AutoMoTech:

1. Brother man, if U dey lag save yourself the stress, get in touch with Gazzuzz.
Naija used or Toks, U will be getting an amazing deal.
2. Perfect your driving first. If not your first car will not be appealing after few months. Have you considered getting a less expensive car first that you can use for a year just to better your driving before getting your dream ride?
3. A foreign car can be a lemon. So also Naija used. Hencd refer to No. 1 or any other competent professional mech you can trust.
4. Daily maintenance: drive safe, check your fluids, imbibe a preventive maintenance culture, pay attention to the "babe". IF you hear pkekem, check it out not until it turns to kakakakokokokikiki
5. Car care is not just about scanning but diagnosis. Scanning is just one of many ways of gathering data to solve your problem. Get yourself a DIY grade scanner, it helps for the simple stuffs. Next Get a competent automobile technician for the difficult stuffs. Let him handle the "diagnosis". Parts dont fix cars. Changing faulty parts zfter after thorough diagnosis always does.
6. As per paint care, you can wash your car urself if u dnt mind. a good rag, bucket of water and water alone can do the job. PERSONALLY i dont do car wash. Some of them use sacks, so that it will foam well but that is one thing dt scratches d paint even most. The car and seat covers are good ideas.
7. For first time car owner,regular engine "clean" with wet rag is good enuf. Car wash sometimes can lead to terrible experiences.

Hope i av not talked too much. Happy car buying and using brother grin
Thanks. I really appreciate

Car Talk / My First Ever Car by Rickpapi: 2:31pm On Jul 05, 2019
Cc: Nurey, Heavenlybang, Gazzuz, autojoshnig.

So I’m purchasing my first ever car..I’m not very good at driving yet, hopefully when I get mine by this month end I’ll perfect my driving skills...

I’m actually purchasing an ES330 as I’ve always wanted that baby..So here comes my first question...

- Nigerian Used or Foreign Used?
I’ve heard people complain about foreign used car giving them problems in even less than 6months and same about Nigerian used. Money isn’t a problem here, I just want something that’s very neat and won’t start bothering me too soon..Some people say Nigerian used as long as I go with a competent mechanic.. What’s your take?

-Secondly What daily maintenance would have to carry out, to ensure it stays in good shape...

-Also I hear people giving advice on scanning vehicles before changing parts. Who does the scanning? My mechanic? I know this is weird but it’s my first car, so please pardon me.

-I’ve had friends whose cars starts fading after one year, especially silver color and that’s the color I plan on getting, so how do I avoid that? I heard car wrapping can avoid fading? How true is that? And is it advisable to cover my car with that cloth used in covering cars? I plan on covering the seats too with those seat cover as I intend using the car for a long time before changing it and I want it looking like new still

-And I’d like if I can get a few do’s and don’t that is important to someone who’s buying his first car, for example I’ve learnt it’s not advisable to let these car wash guys pour water into your engine.

-I’ll post more questions when they come to mind


Thanks..
Please, help a brother..
I love maintaining my gadgets just like I’d maintain a woman I love.

That year watching Efe and co. was a blast. This is one is just boring one kind, because most of these people are not full Nigerian breed...
Anyways I'm routing for Jackie(how Dem dey spell am?) and Mercy at the moment. Could change at anytime grin
Oh and this Tacha girl will definitely make it to the last 7 but won't win it. Mark these words
