GAZZUZZ:
There is no sane person that reads this thread that wants an engine that will not patronise me. (I don't mean the clowns with alternate profiles)

Go to the market and search for any workshop that will give you 3months Warrant, or 3000km on an engine replacement, and still offer a refund without an inspection.


I like the thread it should go on.
Of course, I'm buying my next engine through you definitely.

I also put it to u sir that buying a certain car shouldn't be for respect from people, get a car for ur own comfort and fun of owning it, also don't look down on those who drive lesser cars like Volvo etc,[b][/b] the more we try to think smart in what we do in Africa, the better some people won't feel so pressured to wanna feel among to get so that spot doing illegal business and fraud to drive a car for respect
Some of us who are a bit fortunate to have stayed abroad tend to understand that even when u drive a Benz no one give a fu*k, cuzz ur boss who is a Ceo might not own a car but go by train or bus to work, or even use a bicycle,cuzz no body look at u in high respect when u buy such, at a point u will just know u wanna buy it for ur own comfort and not to impress ur mates or ladies. Don't blame the next door neighbour who wanna do fraud to own a Benz cuzz he also wanna feel among, we are the cause of our own problem in Africa... Play safe bro and my messages isn't directed to u personally pls.. Thanks
Can you kindly elaborate more on the bolded part of your comment.

Pray tell what makes Volvo a lesser car to your corolla

Business › Re: Unending Delays On Shipments With Grimaldi by valarinz: 7:48am On Nov 11, 2020
bellong:
Since you have paid, nothing I can do. Ask him the vessel he booked the car on and when it is taking off. You have the right to know the vessel he booked and he should show you the paperwork.
Those vessel assignments are never known by the agent who booked it, decision rests solely on Grimaldi/Sallaum.

The vessel assigned to a car at booking might end up not being the one that eventually carries same car.

So long as the vehicle is trackable and shows 'on queue' at Grimaldi, it means they've received the vehicle. Your agent has done his job. Thanks

Dapson000007:
I already paid for the shipping, even the shipping fee was paid even before the toll truck took the car to the port. I track the vessel and still displaying enroute to baltimore. Am thinking maybe the ship is not yet there, i really dont know what is going on, all am hearing from him is he will let me know when my car is on a vessel, he is not precise and this makes me sick, over 3 weeks on queue, going to 1 month. I thought they say cars only uses 3 weeks on queue, but this is close to a month and nothing yet.
How can you assist me on this
This car of mine has been on queue since 21st September at sallaum too, i think you should relax, these things usually happen every year ending. The car could arrive naija and take 3 weeks to offload even.

Since you can track your car, pls relax and stop heaping blames on your shipper, hes not sallaum or Grimaldi. Importation is not for the fickle minded, if you don't have the stomach For it, next time quietly walk into any car stand and pick a ride and go home in peace.

Cheers

City4all:
Check the vin number ( chassis number) from custom office if duty is fully paid
You meant 'c - number'.

Chassis number is not what's used for customs duty check, it's the 'c - number' instead, it's usually written on the pages of the duty printouts.

radautoworks:
Is that new OEM or Ladipo?
How many Nigerians buy OEM or new shaft, that's less than 1%

His neighbour's weren't quoting the price of new OEM.

If you go by that new OEM prices anyways then shaft being 150k will not be an issue because it will be almost same prices across most popular brands.

When naija people say "parts are cheap", "Shocks is 30k", "filter is 2k", they're never talking about new OEM

My neighbor said that buying a Ford Edge is not a good thing cos they are quite expensive to maintain. Pls how true is this?
He said the shafts alone cost about 150-180k!
[b][/b]


Your neighbor obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just the regular Nigerian bandwagon follower, too lazy or scared to try and do something different.

How did I know? Check the bolded.

Ford Edge shaft 08-014 models is not more than 30-40k for the front pair. That said, I wouldn't believe any other thing that comes out of his mouth cos he's just displayed his gross ignorance with that claim.

You're not totally right. Depends on the part of Anambra though.
For places like Obosi, close to Onitsha, you will pay "deve" (though they don't use that term)

This "deve" is short for development levy. What make places in the south notorious is that different factions of youths (or thugs) could keep coming one after the other to demand for it. You just need tact and be familiar with their leaders to wriggle your way out of most of their silly demands.
This levy is tasked in almost every part of Igboland. You may not get to pay it if you are an indigene of the location. But once you are not (even if you are from that state) you would be levied.

I'm speaking from experience. I've paid such fee at places like Owerri, Awka, Abakaliki and Enugu.
Good, now you're changing it back again to 'community development levy', you're closer to the truth.

Even inidgenes pay community development levy, there's no way you'll become exempted cos you are a foreigner and bought land. The difference is the inidgenes are ignored if they don't willingly pay it, they're caught up when they want to hold a function (burial, wedding etc), then all their debts will be calculated and they must pay it else they can't hold the function.

Now tell me, are you going to wait for a foreigner to hold a burial which will not take place(obviously he's not from there) before he's asked to pay? No. He will pay it at the only point they have a hold on him, which is during his construction.

Those levies are what communities use to tar their roads, construct boreholes, build and maintain town halls and etc and also perform all other functions which you very well know the East does for themselves without waiting for govt.

Also, it's not only at Obosi or Awka where development levies are collected by the community for these purposes, it's even more strict in the villages, there's no foreigners buying lands at the villages you know?

This is totally different from what the omo nile do over here in Lagos for eg

its even worse in SE to rent a field, or a public school's field, youths from the community will ask for settlement.
You've now changed it to "renting".

When you want to rent someone's property, they reserve the right to charge you whatever they please.

Go ahead and buy the said property, you can go ahead and do whatever you want and no one will harass you for 'deve'

codemaniacs:
this 'deve' thing happens in every state in southern Nigeria.
No it doesn't, except you meant south west and south south.

I'm fairly certain you will buy your plot of land and build whatever you want at Anambra state without the inidgenes harassing you for any 'deve' fees
