Oh boy! These Germo ppl no go kee pesin! See motor!!

And you! How will you think of d BMW first? Dat Benz go murder dat BM 1000times!

lonelydora:
My doctor friend, 2 million is not a big deal for a car because it will get you a normal everyday car.
How much do you think pre-owned 2008 Camry or Accord cost?

Forget about Nigerian used car because there's a reason a naija man wants to sell his car which he may not tell you, not to mention the blunder Kazeem had committed on the car.

I don't know if you think 2million will get you a Range Rover or a Mercedes G-wagon.

Lol @Gwagon & Kazeem... but even if 2m can get me an 08 camry/accord, I'll still avoid it cos those rides give robbers an ereection anytime they sight it. Will just

make do with a low keyed 2 million ride dat isn't easily resellable by thieves & save myself sleepness nights

As brief as the occasion was three PDP stalwarts led hundreds to defect into the APC. His in-laws decorated him and his wife in Tiv traditional attire and also pledged their support towards the realization of his aspiration.

In Naka, headquarters of Gwer-West PDP chieftains including several former council chairmen and aides to Governor Gabriel Suswam dumped their former party for the APC.

The former chairmen were Abaji, Godfrey Ichoghol, and Andrew Ayande while the aides were Francis Nyibiam, a former Adviser to Governor Moses Adasu now current Senior Special Assistant to Governor Gabriel Suswam and his colleague, Anta Igbaato, alias Galadima.





The victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the Presidential and National Assembly Elections has sparked a new wave of cross carpeting from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the majority party in Benue State beginning with thousands in Aondona and Naka towns in Gwer West local government area.

It all started when the governorship candidate of the party, Chief Dr Samuel Ortom, and his entourage which included his campaign Director General, Professor Steve Ugbah, had a stopover in Aondona, where his wife, Chief Mrs Eunice Erdoo Ortom hails from.





Speaking at the two places Chief Dr Ortom expressed happiness that the chieftains had responded to the spirit of change sweeping across the country by jumping into the train as it made its last phase of the journey and enjoined those still outside to also move in.

He pledged those that his if voted into office, his administration would provide critical infrastructure including good roads, portable water, electricity, and health care even as he would implement the free and compulsory primary and secondary education enshrined in the APC manifesto.
Chief Dr Ortom also pledged to pay arrears of salaries and pensions and also tackle unemployment.

He maintained that he considered Gwer-West as his home since his wife hailed from the area and was counting on the support of the people of the place to make it to Makurdi Government House.

Leaders of the defectors who spoke said the PDP had outlived its usefulness hence the need for an alternative platform to address the yearnings and aspirations of the people.

In all tinz remember you're OYO!

billy187:
2 million should be sufficient enough to get you a great pre used car,thats if import duties in Naija have not blown up yet. Keeping such a car should also fall within your paycheck; but then that depends on para meters such as the brand you are interested in.

I'm glad you are not penny wise, pound foolish though.

Duties blowing up due to d dollar OR d proposed automotive policy implementation?

If we celebrated ds more often d world would be a much better place, instead of ppl calling her Dull-apo.

billy187:
I guess that will kinda depend on factors mostly determined by you. Do you need a car? How often will you use it? Is accommodation an issue for you? You may have to answer these questions to make an informed decision.

I would have advised you go for a certified preused car that could last you years over a cheap naija used car that may blow up the second you buy it- but then the issues of accomodation/land comes up.

In short, your parameters are not sufficient enough to make an informed decision.

I will answer your questions one by one:

1. Yes I need a car badly.

2. I will be using it a lot, infact I need a V6 as I'll be doing interstate travelling.

3. Accommodation is not an issue.

4. I'm not in a hurry to buy a land as I do my things slow & steady with long lasting quality instead of cheap-cheap things that I'll av to manage-manage, hence I'll

like to get a CPO (certified pre owned).

So what do you say with dse answers?

*aw(yawn)...been busy reading comments*

hmm..sex here nd there.only God knws wat 'sex' is turning dis world to,no respect for sex again wen every one inner nd outer marriage are nw having it.k o,it is wel,

And are you claiming not to av had it outta marriage? I hate "decent" girls..if you know what d in quote means...a truly decent girl won't talk too much but act.

A hungry man has no shame.

Give FFK food & he'll sing for you.

egesie:
that's more impossible than the word "impossible"...diff configuration, mercedes benz engines are mounted verticallly while toyota camry engines are mounted horizontally, hv u thought abt the gears, ecu, fanbelt etc?








There is really nothing you won't see on nairaland

What do you expect from Japboys..most of 'em are Ricers.

skj1377:
I J ust bought my second benz 2007 c230 well the car is at seme boarder has not been cleared i bought from an auction in usa so far so good

Why haven't you cleared d benz nah? Is d clearing cost on d high side?

nurey:
You know as exotic as the IPHONE is the SAMSUNG S-series has more features than it. Yes the German machines are undisputed but we should be careful not to over hype them besides I am not a japfanboy, though I drive a toyota, me nah VWfanboy.

Where the VW walks, others crawl.

Others crawl but d Benz flies

Readonee35L:
Not really too much
If savins nd excesss comes out of that 250k

Thanx for your time but can you be a bit clearer with what you mean?

when buying things in nigeria, people should seriously take into consideration "will i make use of this" instead of "how much i will sell it after using it". i have never once in my life bought something and be considering the resale value. there are some luxurious gadgets that come as premium and i find really useless in nigeria

1. my family friend has a primera 2003 and it comes with reverse cam, i dont think you should use that cam at all except you want to commit suicide or ram into something.

2. leather seat will get torn on the long run if you take care of fibre it will last and last and last. though i appreciate leather for aesthetics
3. Navigation screen that the map wont work in naija only if it can show me car data then i will say that is good
4. xenon and HID lamp this are good for dazzling on coming drivers if i am the one driving the car good but if nah otondo, he is likely to blind me.

japanese cars weren't as sturdy as german cars then but not now. lexus LS will stand side by side with an S-class to a degree anyday anytime, so why do the germans out class the japs the answer is MORE (more leather, more formica, more airbags, more camera, more interior space etc)

german fanboiz give your own counter arguement.

Compare phones with automobiles & ds is what you'll get:

1. Tecno- Kia (just beauty & flashy-flashy)

2. Samsung- Honda (flashy but a bit more durable)

3. LG, HTC- Toyota, Peugot (not too flashy but durable & long lasting)

4. Iphone- Mercedes-Benz, Porsche etc (flashy, durable, exotic & last forever).

Bossforeva:
2009 Camry Hybrid... That car is so dope.

At last after 49 views..your comments is well appreciated but just wanted to know if 2 million is too much & not d type of car to buy...already got one in mind..

Thanx tho!

I said it,,, the Toyota boys are here!!! I won't argue too much bro...in as much as tecno av improved a whole lot they still know dr master!!! Apple

When Toyota were busy improving themselves do you think the Mercedes were taking a nap? So its wrong for you to say the Japs av come side by side...forget

about interior decor...d engines and body work of Germans are coming on stronger bro..it will take only a miracle & a curse on Germans for d Japs 2 catch up.

Lala247:
You can't wear bra with an outfit like that ...
Mayb if it was firmer it would look better

Still like her tho

Its still firm nah...so nah wetin d'banj dey suck be ds ba?

Hmmm!

I won't cough out, sneeze out, blow out 2.2m for that old benz no pun intended, I would rather get my self a 2010 or upwards toyota or honda product. If I intend to go german then a passat or cc if possible would fill the void.

Its not how far its how well my broda...an iphone 4s is still better & ofcourse more expensive than a tecno phantom Z even though d former was released 4years ago &

d latter released last year...

papawemba:
ou are right. When I compare mileage of cars at at US auctions to what i see on cars sold in Nigeria you wonder where Nigerian car dealers buy their own automobiles. The difference is always miles apart which is butresses the point that they adjust the odometer.quote author=themodernman post=32374476]

What I'm concerned about is dat most dealers reverse odometer readings once it enters naija so one shouldn't just fall for dse milage. You can have any mileage you

want even if its zero. Check mileage of foreign rides on online aunction & you'll see dat most 04 vehicles dont even have such a low mileage..dats d true mileage

cos reversal of odometer is a crime there & they have means of checking d current VIN status of d ride.

I wish you could rearrange your statement so dat people can understand wachu saying. Its pretty disjointed.

nurey:
My brother u didn't take into considerations some fact, yes that benz will certainly be the most luxurious and the tokunbo will be the cheapest in the market it won't pass 1.5m, the most exensive could be the 4th one posted by cityng cause it isn't just a classic it certainly would be a relic. The 06-07 dash could be a problem once it fails (once the screen no touch, ur Ac and some important stuffs won't work) the evil spirit has a very good and rugged build quality the only down size is the miniature screen.

As for the 4 place side by side after 3-4 years of use in naija the benz interior will still be in perfect shape but same can't be said for the exterior as some rust will start showing and if its completely neglected like my neighbors own, then the springs and shocks will give way, it will drive but it won't be impressive.

1.5million? Dats an 04 model benz Eclass bro..be ready to cough out 2.2m at least or take a hike

Homguy:
Abatically and co would definitely provide 1001 reasons why those Hondas, better, a Toyota should be choosen over the merc. Btw, when are you getting another classic for restoration, if only you don't dispose of it before its completion like poor old Tessy.

Thank God d Toyota addicts haven't seen ds topic... they will have none of it

2-time playing bittchh!

I loved her with all my heart but she took it & broke it in2 pieces...a swine she is I must say.

She was my first & has been my last!(6yrs ago)... No more love, just banging cos they all bittchhes in my eyes now.

CityNG:
You can say vintage.

I say classic because that's the correct word. Vintage is usually reserved for wines. At least over here.

"A classic car is an older automobile; the exact definition varies around the world. The Classic Car Club of America maintains that a car must be between 30 and 49 years old to be a classic, while cars between 50 and 99 fall into a pre-antique class, and cars 100 years and older fall into the Antique Class."

Nice one

CityNG:
Not in my hands but then I don't have destructive nephews and nieces.

Mine appreciates classics

Not classic, vintage you should say

Emekasmart:
I hav a frnd who bought a 2001 model camry wit a mileage of 78km. Talkless of an 04 model honda..

What I'm concerned about is dat most dealers reverse odometer readings once it enters naija so one shouldn't just fall for dse milage. You can have any mileage you

want even if its zero. Check mileage of foreign rides on online aunction & you'll see dat most 04 vehicles dont even have such a low mileage..dats d true mileage

cos reversal of odometer is a crime there & they have means of checking d current VIN status of d ride.

Is 2 million naira too much for a Medical Doctor making 250k per month for a first car?

Some ppl are talking "sense" into my head dat its not worth it, dat I should buy a cheap naija used ride & use d remaining cash to buy a land or do business instead but

I'm d type of person dat believes in quality and class as evidenced by d phones & other gadgets I use as they last longer than those buying cheap cheap things & dy

confer more class & respect to d owner...so house I'm putting it up to y'all. Whats your candid suggestion?

emekan:
Hello. I'd actually go for the second. That Benz is a timeless classic. Still turns heads till date. If u put pristine versions of all three ( or should I say four lol) next to each other, u will surely pick the Mercedes. It reeks of class and has unbreakable build quality. I can also assure u that the drive and handling can't be matched by any of the others. Most importantly after a couple years of usage, u will notice that the Mercedes Benz has aged better than the others. Good luck in making your choice. Cheers.

Hmmm..dont let d Toyota geeks on dis forum hear wachu saying bro

After waiting patiently for almost 2hrs for a new topic...ds is what graces d front page

RomanceLander:


Must it be a ride

Really wish I understood your reply

nurey:
It will only take my niece 5minutes to loosen this dash knobs and place it in your hands

Lolz @"place it in your hands" something like..."oya take"

nurey:
You sha wan force me to talk. Well the Accord evil spirit dash is a beauty to behold out of the 3 but you are biased the dash of the benz is 2003 model year or even less compared to a 2006-07 accord and 08-12 accord.

Lol...dats true sha...i'm just tryna be fair on d Honda cos if I put 08 benz for there, nah die be dat for Honda oh.

Thank God for Globacom.

These bascards will av continued raaping us
