legalwealth: OP I have been a victim of this. Car was inspected by a seasoned mechanic.Taking to the pit and all that.Only for gear to pack up after one week of usage. Funny thing is a guy at the dealers place was trying to hint me before purchase about this issue but i no soji. Car dealer must have known about this issue. |

asamwababy: even if car dealer knew about the issue...... so? the whole blame and responsibility lies with the buyer..... how else do u think they sell lemons and except a warranty is in place I see no reason why dealer should be put under pressure. if the dealer is somewhat understanding and wants to maintain the relationship he can decide to subsidize the cost. huge leaks don't just appear out of the blue, it might be possible that the gear has been worked on and also possible that it has never been worked on(what else do u want the kazeem to say to make the best out of that opportunity?) PS I have seen mechanics say stuff like this all the time...... most times they say this to collect money for the new part they will replace and keep your original oem part.... it's standard Mech 101 at this point op, I'd say u cut ur losses.... see it as one of those things that happen cos it has happened. I really feel ur pain BRO.... it's quite painful 4 Likes 1 Share |

Going back to page 1, I noticed legalwealth said leak was from pump area. Pump area=tourqe converter seal. With a seal in that position to fail it would be very glaring that the lower mating area between the engine and transmission would be wet, and in some cases dripping. My guess is mechanic looked at the engine bay only from the top and gave it a pass mark. Recently I was opportune to inspect and purchase a large number of vehicles, and the criteria for selection varied from vin report to actual physical inspection. A lot of them were ruled out due to failing torqe and crankshaft converter seals. Meanwhile a seasoned driver will notice a little drag while driving and park to check. Instead of frying the friction plates. 1 Like |

asamwababy: Thanks for your input. I as well have that thought that the dealer is aware of the underlying issue(s) about the car but he has been saying he does not know. This is just like after 2 days and it is not that the vehicle was been driven all around before then. The second car was being driven here and there. In the other news, Gazzuzz Gazzuzzautos real attitude and identity busted as it can be seen in the image below;

GAZZUZZ: Great inputs and points in there. Jerking and dragging were actually kind of detected on time especially when it was being raced but was not moving which prevented the transmission from being completely spoilt. Looks like the converter was fried because the engine was started for AC to be switched on for the baby in the car even though it was on neutral when it was being towed for like 15 minutes. |

diportivo: I see! !! #Lipsealed though. No mechanic worked on the gear and it was not even touched since it was selecting fine. |

Also see this part of the vehicle's history in the image below which makes it look like the dealer might be aware of the underlying issue. Not even when the vehicle has been in his display garage since last year June. It was seen on the report that it was purchased on copart. I was shocked when I saw the dealer said that he doesn't check all those things before buying as it can be seen in the second screenshot. Note that the vehicle was taken based on majorly TRUST factor that it must have been perfectly sorted out and still in good/perfect condition despite knowing/seeing some things from its VIN report. Kind of even scared seeing the odometer got rolled back from about 180,000 to 80,000 or so. But it was kind of reasoned to be what majority of dealers normally do for market to move on time and for price hike.

TheCar: Don't mind them my brother.. Let them use any oil they want .. I was lucky enough to come across this lovely C 240 .. Before buying it. I research it on nairaland the cons of C240. People were mostly saying it is expensive to maintain.. Spoke to the owner, he said just use the Mobil 1 oil 5w30 or 0w40 .. If you look at the tip hood of the car ,you will see the Mobil 1 sign ..still Nigerians will ignore it and use something else . And complain that the car is not good .. At least if you going to use something different, u either use the same quality as Mobil or use something better like Royal Purple... but if you tell them ,they will think is because you sell that product.. My 03 civic on Uber, has been using the 5k Naira oil now ..the car seems to be going strong for now ..but in the back of my head I know the car will soon pack up ..due to low quality oil. By the time it packs up I go sell am .. My other civic now will be using extended performance and Fram oil filter.. Quality oil prolongs the life of the engine and coolant too .. Funny enough it was even me that help bring the importance of coolant .

thebigkendo: He actually said it was because of the melting dashboard which has now been fixed to a better condition. Due to some circumstances considered, more than half of the said price of the vehicle was paid for while the rest was planned to be paid as soon as soon possible mostly on a factor of motivation by the performance and effectiveness of the said vehicle but here we are. |

Readonee35L: actually you're the one that did not understand what he was saying or explaining, so stop embarrassing yourself he was talking about engine performance, and how people focus on only one aspect of maintenance and avoid other important aspects yet they expect good performance, not necessarily that lubrication is the same as oxygen sensor 1 Like |

Re: Dubious Calculusx of V.A Auto Sales Ventures Sold A Lemon Lexus ES 350 To Me! !! by legalwealth(m): 8:55am On Dec 11, 2018 |
Readonee35L: Lol! Do you mean that a vehicle's engine with no or bad catalytic converter and oxygen sensor will run smoothly and last if the best engine oil in the world is used for it? I guess yours does not have working catalytic converter and oxygen sensor... kpele Ooooo! !! Not a matter of bragging, I imported my EOD's catalytic converter and 02 sensors directly from USA myself with running cost of almost 150,000N because I know the importance of those things on engine's performance and durability. |

Readonee35L: What was said is out of "common sense" which is valid; do your research and thank me later for learning new thing through me. Engine oil used though important is not the major thing to be considered; there are other important things like catalytic converter and oxygen sensors which are important. If they are bad in your car and you use the best engine oil in the world for the same car, you will experience the likes of high consumption of fuel and disrupt of the engine's performance in the car. Check engine light will also be looking at you daily and you won't know when other critical issues that normally turn on check engine light come up since the light is always on the dashboard. 1 Like |
