The way he fancies cars...

radautoworks:
I agree. Back to the original question that led us here due to overzealous reactions, IF you were to get a Ford edge, would you get the first edition?

Ikenna351:
You do realise you contradicted yourself. If you knew all Brands/cars have their pros and cons (positives and negatives), how come you didn't point out the positives of the Edge he indicated interest in? Instead you condemned the car completely with the long "No". An expert on the Ford brand will point out the positives and negatives concerning the Edge model the person is interested in and let the perosn decides if he/she is comfortable with the negatives and excited with the positives or simply walk away from the car for something else. You didn't give him that chance to make his choice and decision from options he is to be made aware of.

The thing with Japanese fans is they see nothing wrong with their brands yet always eager to jump in and condemn other brands. You claimed there were a lot of recalls on the car, what about the thousands or millions of Japanese brands/cars they recall yearly. You forgot to mention that as well? So if it's safe for people to buy the frequent recalled Japanese cars, why is it a problem to buy recalled Ford vehicles? Why singling out Ford only as if the Asian brands are saint in this matter you raised?

This idea of reliability when it comes to cars is stuppid to me, because its subjective. Hundreds, if not thousands, of foreign used (tokunbo) Japanese engines and automatic gearboxes are brought into Apo markets here in Abuja weekly. Yet, they are sold off within a week or so and another hundred or thousand batch are brought in the coming or subsequent weeks. Who are buying off these Japanese engines and automatic gearboxes from the sellers? Do people purchased and replaced a perfectly working engines and automatic gearboxes with used ones if they didn't fail? Yet these people would tell you there cars are so reliable even though they probably have replaced the engines, auto gearboxes or both twice, including everyone around them.

I know some Toyota Camry users that carry spare engine oil in their booths daily for top up. They top up their engine oils weekly more than they top up fuel tank, yet they only see problems with other brands and not theirs staring them back on their faces up and close.

If you are all for Japanese cars, there is nothing wrong with that. But understand that no matter how good you think they are, some people will prefer something different. Not every man wants to live by other people choice. I for one is a living example.

Valarinz. Come and see something

thonyman:
No, with my experience I will say Toyota cars tolerate abuses more than other brands. Since he is going for Naija used, its advisable to go for Toyota.

radautoworks:
Like what Have you asked other male NLers that kind of question before? Regardless, see below for the answer to your question.

radautoworks:
Dude. Take a chill pill. You fix Ford. Fine. Every brands has its pros and cons. Like I pointed out above, the Ford edge is popular for a reason. My point is don't tell people it's all roses when it is not. If you truly care about people, you will tell them both the good AND the bad so they will know what they are getting into. And this applies to ALL brands not just Ford.


Relax. Life is too short to die from HBP over a single sentence. I wish you well.

thonyman:
No, you can get other brands, newer models with your 800k, most will be recommended by the people your village witches will use.
If you know the 800k is your hard earned saved fund, stick to older Toyota Camry in prinstine state, but if you know you have steady flow of funds to dabble in to handle expensive repairs like changing engine or transmission, go for the newer models/brands you are interested in.

I hear you. I'm not against his workshop o. He's the one that started doing personal attacks. Ford edge full America too and there is a reason that I already gave. There are pros to the car and also cons but somehow na only the cons dem dey fixate on. Na simple comment about one particular iteration of one car bring us reach here. You noticed I first said I won't even engage when he called me a liar and was talking to sultaan when he continued calling someone incompetent.

I hate BMW but cannot argue that they are not excellent driver's cars. Just like people hate Volvo but I've stood up for Volvo in the past because you cannot deny their reliability and safety. So my dear valarinz, when it comes to cars, it's never personal for me. I'm always objective. The problem comes when people use emotion to argue facts.

radautoworks:
I agree with you 100% if you want to get a lot of features for cheap, ford is your brand. That being said, I have driven many and have friends that owned. They constantly were in the shop for one thing or another. I have owned only ford excursion, expedition and many E350s that we even exported to Nigeria because I know them from experience to be durable even if gas mileage SUCKS. The expedition for me is borderline but the excursion and the E350s are the best Fords. The Ford edge specifically you cannot give me for free as I have seen way to many issues compared to mileage on them disproportionate to other cars.

When I worked in sales for Toyota and Chrysler, there were certain cars reserved for people with bad credit who couldn't get approved for anything else. Ford edge, ford fusion, mitsubishi diamante, Mazda tribute, pontiac anything, etc. Those were the last resort for people who couldn't get approved on other vehicles because they looked pretty and you could convince people to settle for them and they were dirt cheap because of lousy resale value.

That being said, I sense you maintain your cars well. Most cars you will be mostly okay if you do routine maintainance. Ford edge though na so so recall and TSB everyday. It was ridiculous!


Funny that you mentioned the Grand Cherokee as I have a soft spot for it too but would never buy one after working at Chrysler and seeing them parading in and out all day long. I would rent one to go off-road though

Conclusion:I created this thread to publicly address the common issue we have currently caused by the pandemic, everyone is taking advantage of it, when we are supposed to be cutting the effects of it.

It was on Google I got the 383.00naira a few days ago, we buy our cars from mostly Auction website. Or do we buy our vehicles in Black Market?

promotervickky:
You have publicly defrauded yourself, why was I here before? I am here to address issues

Ogbuu101:
You are not very intelligent.
You run a business that largely depends on referrals and you're here making outlandish claims,causing your fellow naive ppl to call your fellow businessmen who you need their referrals names.
Ppl have been asking you where you got your own $ at 383 but you've been dodging that question.
I will personally buy from you at N400/$,up to 10k $,if you have, PM me

promotervickky:
Before you shoot, try weighing the facts, or are you one of the people inflating the prices of cars? Taking advantage of our citizens?
