Car TalkRe: Toyota Corolla 2011/2012 Users Advise by Scammer(m): 6:10pm On Mar 01, 2018
PAQ:
Hi guys, i just got this Corolla and i am looking forward to hear from other user experiences, advice and general topics on the car. i am really impressed with its fuel efficiency but not pleased with its poor engine power and bland interior.
You can't eat your cake and have it.
You like fuel economy yet you want it to be fast.
Buy a 2010 campy Se With 2Gr v6.
That will make you happy. The interior is also better than the corolla

Hi Scammer I drove the same model recently. It has the electric steering and was a sweet car to drive.

Is the electric steering flood proof?
Was it affected in the flood?
I don't think the Eps Module is water proof.
But I've had situations where rain enters a Toyota (Especially Venza) and the Eps fails, making the steering stiff.
But mine works normal

I don't know why there is so much hate on this forum. That's why i didn't post exterior pictures before one evil person decides to be stupid.

Note: I'm not forcing anyone or encouraging anyone to buy a flooded car, I did so at my own convenience and risk, If you buy one and it's a complete garbage that's your problem.

Neither am i telling anyone to bring their car through Cotonou, If it gets impounded by the customs on it's way to you that's your problem.
Everyone will cry their cry.

Car has been registered and it's being driven everyday. Most of this speeches have made me realize there are so many people who have little knowledge about somethings here. There's so little i can say on a public forum.

So 350k to clear 2016 avalon?
It's cotonou duty not Nigerian duty.
In cotonou all cars have a flat rate of duty which is about 270k Naira.
All cars including rolls royce , bugatti, or a Nissan sunny have the same duty of 270k .


Not like Nigeria where people pay millions for duty.

Whew.

I've been very busy I totally forgot I had a thread here.

Car arrived in cotonou about mid January.
The guy who was supposed to clear gave me issues. I had to pay extra 50k to the 300k I gave him earlier. Note this is cotonou duty, Not Nigeria duty

The car was towed to a park where accident cars are always repaired.
I gave a strict instruction about not tampering it or cranking. Until I get there.
I went to see my beauty along with my favorite mechanic from lagos.
He checked some fuses and some areas of the car to see if car has serious water damage.
Enine oil and transmission oil looked clean.

We got a battery to crank.
Dash lights came on. If you push the start button the lights go off but won't crank.
After much diagnosis Starter motor was the culprit.
Starter motor was replaced the second day.
Car cranked and poured to life.

But the car was rough idling.

There are some issues.

The airbag light is permanently on. (Maybe the srs module got wet.)

Check engine light and one other yellow light is on.

The car stereo is not coming on.

But everyother thing works perfectly.

At this point I'm quite relaxed. And the known issues are very minor.

Car will be flown to lagos next week.
All in all.
I'm thankful.
No pictures for now for private reasons.

Nna this is a terrifying new dimension. Are you saying that these customs men now leap over tall fences with a single bound like Superman, in order to seize escapee cars ?
I don't trust that man,
As you can see he is a clearing agent,
How do you expect a whole custom squad to go to someones house (a complete stranger) to seize a 2011 E350 whose custom duty is not even up to 2million.

There are two things involved, It's either he blew his friends whistle, or his friend is a lousy person and he casted him self, But either way, the chance of him casting himself is very slim.

Do you know how many 2017, hilux, prado, benz and porsche that are roaming the streets of lagos without custom duty. I know peeps with Gle Coupe without duty. Yet nobody dn enter their house.

Before custom can jump into your compound, it's either you have a big car lot with lots of smuggled cars or you're a car dealer.

I never said the car is going to the east.
I live in Lagos.
I am not paying duty on this car, so i am not shipping it to Lagos, I am shipping it to Benin, Popularly known as Cotonou, I see most people don't know Benin is the country and Cotonou is just a city.
Car will come through the land border to Lagos.

Is that an SUV or a piece of salvaged junk gotten almost for free from Auction Export?

I blame VIO, Road Safety and Custom officials for allowing anyone drive this object of hazard.
Even if it's a salvage which i don't think it is.
He can't buy it for less than $8,000Usd
Plus shipping,
custom duty of over 2m and repair cost.

It still costs lots of money.

GAZZUZZ:
I suggest you should leave vehicle in lagos.some parts might be equired that can only be gotten in lagos. Some parts might be used for just testing purposes and returned to seller, some parts might need to be replaced if they do not work. Best place to do that is as close to seller of part as possible. Unless if you intend importing all parts required online.

Good luck
Car is not coming through lagos port.
Benin is cotonou.
final arrival is lagos.

Lots Of Hulabaloo here, Let's keep decorum..
Car is meant for my personal use.
If you won't buy a flooded car, Your choice,
Each person is entitled to their own opinion.
I'm buying a Toyota which is a basic vehicle with few modules, the car is a Win Win. If it runs or not.

People bid as high as $40K USD For flooded cars whose real value is between 70-80k Usd.
If you don't buy it someone else will, And i definitely know what i'm getting into.

Do you know the cost a limited avalon with all options ticked?

Like elshanautos mentioned, The car will definitely run and drive perfectly again.
It wasn't submerged or buried in the OCEAN , It's slightly flooded...



Flooded car can be a blessing or a curse.
There are rules.
Make sure they are run and drive,
If it's a non starter, Make sure to know the water level.
Avoid flooded benz or bmw They have more dangerous electronics and modules.

Fingers are crossed, when vehicle arrives In Benin.
It will be inspected and diagnosed there first.

NO



He has already bought the car, he needs to fix it. The most logical thing to do is find a running one with body having extreme damage and match them together, i have said that before.



I heard the vehicle is hitting lagos soon, now let both of us do a breakdown of the money the op would spend to get a very expensive white lemon to his door step.

Actual cost of car $100 = #36,000
Transport/shipping/auction fee $1500 = #540,000
clearing at naija port = #2,000,000
Towing to door step = #20,000
Total = #2,596,000

The most likely expensive parts are the electrical in nature and they are all gone to the wind, so left with mechanical parts, that is full body and suspension parts. He cant sell everything to a reseller more than 2million naira atmost.

Now the issue with the parts is before you will get someone who needs a whole or part of the body, the thing go tey, you are looking at doors, boot and bonnet sitting in the store gathering dust for years, who also wants to buy suspension parts of a 1 year old car, is he driving it in a toureg
How would you say all electrical in the car are completely ruined.
Importation duty for 2016 Avalon is about 3.5m not 2m.

You think a car is scrap because of flood?
No much arguments , Time will tell.

One thing is certain, I can't break the bank to fix the car
And I know I can't spend up to 2m to make it run and rive perfectly.

Wow,
Lots of negativity here.
Anyway I was able to find an auto shop that will take care of repairs..

I definitely know what I am getting into. The engine is not hydrolocked, It was flooded, But no start attempt was made.
I know the engine or transmission can't be completely damaged, But one thing is certain, The car is not complete lemon, and it will definitely RUN AND DRIVE PERFECTLY AGAIN, It's not as if the car was covered with water, the water level was slightly above the door.

The engine of the car is a 2gr which is shared along lots of Toyota line up even if engine is to be replaced.
This is a 2016 Toyota Avalon Limited and it doesn't come cheap. this one has only about 3000 miles which is near to brand new.


There's no way I can loose money on the car, i Bought it for a very low price,
And besides It's not coming through tincan , so duty is out of the equation. Duty will be paid in the future.
The car is coming to town with less than 5m.
even if I spend as much as 1.5m on repairs which is not even possible , I can't loose.
