I feel you.
Imagine sending bill to a customer for alternator change on that car and customer looking at you as if you want to reap them off.
Na only God know wetin Valarinze like about that brand.
They're relatively easy to diagnose and fix

They're safe, all my years doing Volvo, I've not had a customer who had an accident in one and sustained bodily harm not to talk of death and believe me there's been so many incidents and many total wrecks

I don't have to worry about who's going to steal my car(this is what led me to discover the brand in the first place)

Cost of parts are also relatively cheap compared to most competitors

The drive performance is fantastic, good speed, good balance at high speeds and fantastic handling too

I don't like following the crowd, I prefer doing something different and excelling at it


Only problem now is, fg and NCS are trying their best to run us off the market, it costs double the figure to clear a Volvo XC90 now compared to say Highlander/pilot of same year and it keeps rising everytime. Same with the sedans and CUVs, the cost of clearing them are so high now it's looking like a deliberate conspiracy of some sorts

Last week, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos Ministry of Transportation, Abdulhafiz Toriola, disclosed this. He stated that this certificate would help vehicle owners and the government assure the integrity of all vehicles registered on the National Vehicle and Identification Scheme database and track car theft and recovery of stolen vehicles.
What exactly does this mean? The bold part

For a second there, I thought you were doing this as a reasonable citizen now it seem clear to me you're a govt mouthpiece sort of

Imagine the big grammar typed there which ended up meaningless and you're posting it up.

Pls how will my paying extra ₦1k help assure the integrity of my vehicle

How will paying extra ₦1k help track my car when it's stolen?

Trip | Ibadan - Lagos (return leg)
Fuel Consumption| 29.7mg
Car Model|ES350 2014
Engine |2GR-FE v6

Achieved over 30mpg on th first leg of the journey.

My eyes are permanently glued to the instant mpg screen. 😂😂😂

I only accelerate lightly never exceeding 2k rpm.

And I never accelerate continuously for more than 2-3 secs, after that I use a feather light touch of the pedal. Anytime I have to burn fuel on a climb, I ensure I blow free on the decline.

My average speed too wasn't too bad, most of the time 90km/hr with occasional 120km/hr.
Please tell me this is not how you drive always, tell me you deliberately drove this way for the sake of this challenge cry cry

Tell me you didn't spend cash to buy such an exciting machine only to end up driving it like a Yaris all year long

Pls, don't break my heart😭

Firstly the opening of land border is not a cook up story by me, may be you have been away from your television or internet for a while. Anyway it's a confirmed story as every credible news media have reported it without any rebuttal from FG. Secondly, there are some charges that add up to custom duty that will not be there if you coming through Cotonou, because you only need to pay your duty directly to custom which can be done easily yourself or any driver bringing it for you.

Thirdly, the land border is very pourous compare to Port, it is very possible for importers to cut corners and pay less duty.

Hope I have satisfied your curiosity

Now that the land border is opened for car importation, we are waiting to see the effect on car prices in Nigeria. Definitely car importation through Lagos port will drop except there is downward review of cost of clearing. For now I will pause any buy from USA
Humour me, so the land borders that has been opened (according to you), it was opened for you to come and put a smile across and crossover your cars, you won't pay duty?

Or, NCS have a different duty figure for cars that are cleared at the borders? Pls help shed light🙏🏾

Is vehicle license fee annually? If it is, I am not aware of it. If it is, then I agree with you they need to amonize all of these. I do think its a way to make the rich to cough out more...if you have 5 cars, you pay N5k annually. I think the Govt need to enforce the Land Use Charge and compel people to pay, or show difficulty in paying so they can be suspended or vacated short term. We must pay these fees and taxes so other agencies can spring up, and more people can get jobs. By the way, the Govt should contract most of these stuff out and have companies bid for them every 2-3 yrs.
Yes pls, "vehicle licence" fee is paid annually and it's part of the 3 required documents that has annual renewal required to drive a car in Nigeria

The other 2 are the "road worthiness certificate" and of course the "insurance certificate"

"Vehicle licence" fee is not equal across all vehicles, different categories of cars pay different sums and usually the bigger your engine size the higher your fee

Perhaps if all those attacking you spelt it out clearly for you from the get-go we won't have many pages of the unnecessary jousting

You don't even realize you are contradicting yourself...who will do this except.....

Anyways they ain't using stickers in Nigeria ...so what? The point is...you still pay annually or biannual to keep your car on the road...same difference.

If you have issues with the policy, go to court ...it's a nice way to raise revenue. MVA policies are by states in the USA...you can speak for all the states I suppose...I choose to speak for mine. If you like, continue responding in order to make yourself feel good.

The point is simple...it's meant to raise revenue. If US states only care for ownership change, they won't care about stickers. This policy is actually really good in Nigeria where crime rate is high with little database...register your vehicle annually...If you don't like it, stick to public transportation...na N1000 only.
Pls kindly tell me what the "Vehicle license" fee we already pay is then?

Why would we have to "register" again with ₦1k for a paper that only depicts the ownership of a vehicle

Also, youve been going on and on about this your Maryland license payment, and Im asking you again, how is that different from the "Vehicle license" fee we already pay
