oliverjiad: log book is something you'll request from the usa sent down to Nigeria customs to ensure ure bringing in the allowed and specified vehicle to clear so there wont be any cut corners while paying duty

Let's assume that you bid for a car on auctionexport and won, who would provide the logbook- is it auctionexport or the owner of the vehicle?
sultaan: You ringed the engine not because it is bad after 5 years of use but you did not maintain it properly with the right type of engine oil. You would have had the same problem with a corolla
It is obvious you do not have the first-hand experience, that is why you are saying I didn't maintain with the right engine oil. Is mobile one too poor?
That car is demonic that will put holes inside your pocket.
Other people that own the car that I know have similar experiences.
In fact, just search for "Chevrolet Aveo" on Nairaland or just "Chevrolet" to see other people's experiences.
As a young man, I tried my best in terms of maintenance. My friend that knew when I bought it thought after 2 years I would have abandoned it.
Everything about the engine of the car and even the car as a whole is designed to fail except the fuel economy.
Once the engine is getting deteriorated, the fuel consumption gets worse.
If you haven't owned the car for at least a year, please don't say anything.
Currently driving Chevrolet Aveo 2009 and I have been driving it for almost 5 years now. The only good thing about the car is fuel economy. Every other thing is FUFU.
Very problematic car and the part is not common.
I ring the engine in 2019 and by 2021, the engine is smoking badly.
Stay away from Chevrolet especially Aveo. Run no look back except you are a mechanic and you have money.
mustykay: There is no basis for comparison my opinion though, Oga na master, Highlander all the way. Talk of durability, Fuel economy, space,maintainance, and second hand value. Highlander is the real deal for me.
johnseno: yes, but it is only affected buses that carry more than ten passengers, tractor and heavy duty machinery. There also the reduction on vehicles that are new one from 35% levy to 5%. Thanks N.B the duty rate for all used vehicles still remains at 35%.
Thanks sir.
Please which states in the US is good to import cars where one will have the cheapest cost of trucking to the port?
I head that in some states you can spend up to 1500 for delivery to the seaport.
dsaynt: On the MDX vs Highlander issue....apart from expensive parts...what about the transmission problems that MDX are said to have (though i hear such problems ended from the 2011 upwards models). A big worry would also be fuel. The MDX uses premium petrol so for you to use naija fuel you have to be using octane boosters. But then again after a while your engine will wear out. On that issue alone, the highlander should take the win. Anyways...over to the experts..let them discuss
I just love the design of MDX. I am actually going for Highlander or Lexus Rx 330 or 350
Some people say that Highlander is an old man car. That is why older people love driving it.
Mrshocker: Please stop this odd comparison. It's a big disrespect to 08 highlander in all aspects. 1)speeds 2)durability 3)economical fuel consumption 4)beauty 5) comfortability 6) maintenance
Please how much would it cost me to clear the following cars: 1) Highlander 2007 2) Highlander 2008 3) Acura MDX 2007 4) Acura MDX 2008 5) Lexus RX330 2005 6) Lexus RX350 2007
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much.
