mayor2013: Please share more on your address because I think its closer to me and possibly drop ur mobile contacts. Like I really need to run a diagnosis scan on this vehicle. This car will not move when the accelerator is pressed at first but wen u step on the break it suddenly picks up again. It does so mostly after successful Gear switch to Gear2. Please how much is your scan, and do u just scan alone and not fix issues?. Thanks |

ndcide: You don't likely need to use half the cost price to fix the Ride, It depends on your Mechanic from inspection point. Most times mechanics push us to buy a bad car so that they can extort us of our hard earned money (Truth). He will say the ride just need some little issues to fix and at the end of the day the little issues becomes a big issue. 1. Gear Box:- 45k 2. Steering Rack:- 23k (Twice) 3. Front Shocks:- 8k 4. Side Mirror:- 6k 5. Panel Beaters workmanship:- 10k 6. Painting (AutoBase):- 40k 7. Battery:- 14k 8. Engine Seat:- 3k 9. Tyres:- 10k and other expenses sha.... , but now I enjoy the ride like seriously 3 Likes 1 Share |

Autos / My Experience Buying My First Car (a USED Car) On Nairaland! by rydow(m): 7:24pm On Feb 29, 2016 |
Good Day Guys, I wish to share my experience buying a USED car with everyone who cares to Read and learn from my GREAT Ordeal . It all began in October 2015 when I sealed the deal with @ Royalty1, https://www.nairaland.com/2563498/sold-toyota-camry-tiny-light. After several calls for negotiations and agreement, we sealed the deal, I ask about the issues with the ride and behold Big-Bro made me understand its a buy and drive , but the issues are:- 1. Leaking Oil on the Power Steering 2. Fade Off paints on the Bonnet that needs to be resprayed to my taste, (Optional). 3. Engine in Good condition but the Gear box needs some service because most times when u want to Overtake a vehicle ahead, The gear responds late and makes some loud noise. This where the listed faults by Big-Bro, and as the ride is my choice of first car, I made some underG research about Toyota Camry that price and my colleagues where like Oh-Boi hope say no be SCAM!!!. I further asked about the total price to fix this defects and Possibly if the ride can be driven to Lagos without issues, He said the ride was recently driven to Ibadan recently, that Lagos shouldn't be a barrier and he contacted his Mechanic for me immediately for the price to fix the Leakage and service the Gearbox. I payed for the requested amount and Big-Bro makes it clear to me that Paying the money isn't part of our agreed price of the car oooo, incase I came to inspect and I dnt later like the ride. But to me I trust him as he spoke so calm and politely on the phone,I took the RIsk. On Friday 9th Day of October 2015, I Took a Day Off and decide to visit Ilorin to seal d deal and drive my Toyota Camry straight to the CenterOfExcellence . I arrive Ilorin with my friend late around 6PM in the evening. I called Senior Man and we met @ The Point where the vehicle was parked, It has been serviced and I believe the engine should speak well. I did a Rigorous checks on the Ride and this were my Physile Observations:- 1. Clean Interior though the seats are very wet due to the thorough wash by the CarwashMAn and thanks for the pappers Big-Bro. 2. The ride has a First Body, Little/No too much observable Rust...**Like no Rust. 3. The Side Mirror (Driver Side ) Broken and well packaged 4. After starting the Engine and I raised it to hear its cool sound exhaust was emitting some smokes continuously before it stopped but we both belived it was as a result of the engine oil used to service the car. 5. Bad Front Tire and My Oga immediately admit to replace the Tire. @Royalty1, Replaced the tire on the Spot. Thanks. We seal the deal after few minutes Test drive and there was an instant alert on his Phone from **Bank . It was late, the Pictures we took was very dark so I cant share, but it was a wonderful transaction. (Thanks For the Wiper Sir). We left Ilorin for Ibadan at exactly 10PM. It was a FunFilled Journey as we arrive Ibadan at 2:30am. Now it all Began... I left Ibadan for Lagos around 12no0n 0n Saturday 10/10/2016. I decide to refil my Gas. I parked gently alight and make my staright order for a fill up, After buying fuel I cant start the ride again and Guess What the Battery has Parked Up. As a Hot Guy I bought a new one sharparly (14K). While cruising my ride on Lagos/Ibadan express road after Academy before Soka, I had a huge noise (GBAUUUUUUU) , Oh! I smashed the braked it was a narrow escape. OMG!!! Allihamdulilahi I shouted , but behold the Tire at the Driver side (Front) busted on the high way. I changed to the extra and made a way towards Challenge to replace the busted tire and change my route Via Lagos Abeokuta through Apata Vs Lagos Ibadan. When I got to Sango Ota, I stated Observing a strange Noise and Behold it was the Power Steering Pump, and before I got to ATan, I was already driving a Trailer (Man-Diesel). The steering was as strong as IshanMaalu . I called my niggas instantly cos its already getting late cos of the huge trsffic so I was advice to buy road ATF oil and top up the reservoir. I did that and miraculously my steering was sooo soft. So I drove home safely. I proceeded to a Mechanic Workshop on Monday and this where the listed faults with the ride:- 1. Defective Steering Rack 2. Decide to reservice the Gear Box cos after the long distance Journey it was Observably not changing at all. 3. Defective Engine Seats Causing serious Jerks in traffic 4. Oil driping from some parts of the engine around the CAM-Shaft (Valves), decide to get a Valve seals. I called @Royalty1, We fought and it was really a Long Mis-Understanding. I believe he sold a scrap for me but he insist he forgot about the engine seats and he cant ever do that on NAIRALAND He promise to get back to me though but I got nothing. But Atlast this were the LIst of what I changed in the Ride:- 1. New Gear Box 2. Steering Rack (Changed Twice) 3. Battery @ Ibadan 4. Tires (One in Ibadan and 4 in Lagos) 5. Reservice the Engine. After all this was Done, The ride came back to life and I was Really enjoying the Motor ooooo. AC is a WOW I contacted Big-Bro again and he politely accept to help me with my Documents Renewal without demanding for an extra Charges. Senior man. I respect your maturity and that is why I have decided to share it Here on Nairaland. I hereby wish to advice anybody who want to buy a Used Car to have it in mind that no matter how clean, Buy and Drive etc as proposed by the seller, he/she should have an extra 150k to 200k to fix the Ride to his desired Taste. Don't be too much in Haste, Chat for LOng, Request for the vehicle History, ask of when the posted pictures where taken. Most times buyer post the purchase clean photos and not the immediate status of the car. In conclusion, I didn't regret buying a Used Car on NL and Insha Allah, am praying for an upgrade soon, so KAKAKIBuy should watch out for me . Below are my Pimped Pictures. Evrybody is already making an Offer but am Not Selling oooooooo 13 Likes

OP, If I come to Ibadan next weekend and I found out that u are still hanging around. U will see what I will do for you. An organization that has not fully confirmed your appointment? They haven't played U a dime Yet u want to sleep and wake with them abi. I pity U. Font just be surprised when contracts start tripping in and they categorically tell U that its there strategy that's working and not your marketing contributions. Don't be surprised when they bring in there people to replace you, wen there national cake is booming. Don't be surprised wen u are fired for smiling too much at a client. The truth is **Lagos is Challenging just as UK, US, Germany and Canada are. Racism exist right and our people survive.How If u can answer how they survive, my brother U will survive Lagos. Lagos Is a Land of Many Opportunities. Only the Lazy ones complain. About the 50k pay, though it can be so small to start but I can bet wen u start and u are hardworking as u claim. Beter offers are already waiting. Cheeeers |

Trustme2: Big Bro. Toyota Corolla are fuel efficient but the engine are always very expensive oooo. The only issue I think ur car is having is a minor one. Just check the engine Oil seal. When ur car is parked for few hours or over the night. Just check under the car in the morning during ur routing checks for small oil leakage. U should see some oils dropping down on the Sump or exhaust pipe. Take it to ur mechanic for an immediate fix. Even if u use mobile oil or chevron oil, if the seal leakage is still there,the oil level will still go down sir. Thanks |

-Paying rent - I believe its better to get an apt outside campus. Especially for those who dont have family here, it means you have a place to live when school is out of session. You can either get a cheap studio or get a room mate to lower the burden of the cost. Always and i say ALWAYS get an apt with all utilities included in the rent for your first year until you know how water, gas, electric bills work. Especially in winter, your gas bill could be very high if you dont know how to be judicious with heating your apt. Hello Boss and Bosses on NL.
