The amount paid is not up to the total duty, you seek prices before going for your choice, I have post the actual total duty for you expect the running and shipping charges.

So you also aid the low duty payment, in as much I don't support it but we have to be frank with eachother the total clearing should be around #1, 500,000
He paid 1.4m and deserved more than the 600k surface duty payment. Stop justifying unscrupulous behavior please. That figure is lower than half the total sum paid, so i refuse to accept that the car aided any short-payment.

The 1.5m you're quoting is totally ridiculous by the way, and is a deliberate attempt at being mischievous in order to find an escape route.

Is there any way of correcting this?

You can pay additional duty, contact your agent

Ok, Just take care of yourself and have it mind that after each transaction, you keep change for road trips
Can you please stop trying to justify/support fraud? Someone pays over 1.2m to clear a car and a very low fee is paid, they will never leave customs checkpoints with the customary 1k, 2k payments.

If it was 1k the guy paid, he won't be asking questions here over ways to pay up his duty

On these, it's a 50/50 thing, you may be luck not to be stopped by customs but if they do, u just tip them or bargain with them based on the FOU or Taskforce you meet on your way.
Coming from an agent, i suppose this is what you'll say to your client after you've short paid on his vehicle, its almost like a routine now.

Instead of you to give him clues on how to go about paying the balance to customs and drive in peace, you're encouraging him to hit the road and "tip" them when caught.

Car Talk › Re: Honda Pilot Advice Needed !!! by valarinz: 4:22pm On Jun 14, 2020
Carfreak966:
Hello All.
I have been actively working on getting another car for some time. I have searched Nairaland and it’s mostly toks Honda that is sold here... To cut it short, I found an A-list Honda Pilot today on Jiji, and it really captured me. The manufacture date is 2004.

But there is the usual talk about Honda cars, including common issues and their resale value. In the circumstances, Transmission failure....I need all the advice I can get to make my decision, including on management tips if I go for it. What are the things I should look out for. My alternative is a Toyota Highlander 2003, but it is way above my budget trying to get a Nigerian used. Moreover I just left a Camry and will like to feel how a different brand tastes like.

Advice about this alternative would also be well appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Cc @ kingreign gazzuzz promotervicky siena nurey ikenna351 valarinz please do come here my oga them.

I appreciate you all
04 pilot is a good ride, go for it

I always thought cars are still being sold here oh. I never knew things has escalated so quickly. grin grin grin grin. Can we still search for 1.2m cars here?
The drama is in fact the most potent ad tool for the OP, if I were him ill secretly pay people to instigate it.

The more the drama, the more the popularity and attention, the more the patronage, no such thing as negative publicity.

Amdman is surely doing well, ooin. He obviously has moved beyond 1.2m cars now surely

Hello house.
2008 Volvo xc90 (6cylinder) vs 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander (6cylinder).
Advice needed with Nigeria road, availability of spare parts and auto technicians and economy in mind.
Thanks.
Volvo XC90 of course, the breakthrough car in naija since 2018

Baba Valarinz, I am presently in the market for a car and Volvo is one of the cars I am considering. Please what is the reliability of 2008/2009 Volvo s80 3.2? Does it have a timing belt or timing chain? Are the parts available at the local market? Please don't ignore bros!
Oga Driving, the 08/09 S80 is a very good option. It uses a timing chain too and parts won't be an issue too.

Can people be this wicked?.
I came across this s6o yesterday on jiji,called d seller(owner) and so I left my surulere abode this morning ,spent hard earned money on t-fare to ikorodu,traffic to the location was hell.just to see this lovely ride.but alas!!!All that glitter is not gold!! This guys phone gave the scrap a new Look and hid all the stains n dirts.the engine ,to speak of was a total write off.in fact the car is a heap of junkyard.And this left me begging for answers why this guy would allow his car to go this baaaaad b4 selling it.
It pained me because I came a long distance to see a junk of a car someone offered online for sale.thus is not fair.The guy himself didn't show up at the spot.....like he knew it wasn't worth it...so he sent a proxy guy.
Why not sell it immediately when you know say ground no level again.? I didn't utter a word ,I just went round the thing and immediately left the spot...with anger oo!!
Nawa oo God help us.
Welcome to the story of most naija used cars. Majority of us buy cars that are well above our earning range, and then the abuse and abandonment begins, at the point of sale you're left with junk

I went to Greet them in EMUI-land but I'm sure I'll be back. I got tired of all these big phones. This thing is 165g light and it's so small, i can actually operate it with one single hand.

The UI is a bit like one ui and I miss miui already but it's not bad, just different and i guess it will take some getting used to.

Camera is cool but I'll find out just how cool, in time.

And that's my mini story about huawei p30 cool
Bro, how good/fast is the phone really, I'm about to buy one myself

Currently use Honor 10, and want a new phone and i hate big phones therefore Huawei P30 is the next best thing i found online.

Did you buy new or used? If new, let me have your sellers contact pls. Thanks

Can you share a document that supports this claim? I don't think anyone has any right to drive on the road for any period of time with registration. I remember a discussion on this on TV.
But I'll be happy if you can share a legal document in support of your claim please
Its very simple Sir, if you don't think anyone has the right to drive a newly cleared vehicle without number plates, then you can call towing van na...

Those of us who think we have the right will keep driving peacefully...

Legal documents ko legalwealth ni

Did he bring the car without plate number? If yes, I heard it is risky, how true is this?
You have 90 days from when your car arrived to drive legally without number plates, except by "risky" you're referring to theft, i see no issues there
