nymphomaniac: The first one. I admit. I went alone. The mechanic was forming busy so I went ahead to check the car out . Tho I sensed something was off but my enthusiasm to buy and drive a BMW was too much to resist.. paid dearly for it. The second one. The mechanic followed me o. We checked and checked.. he assured everything was okay tho some few repairs as per Naija used car.. oh boy. This moto dey chop fuel like God knows what.. terrible gas mileage.. in the process of selling it off tho . 1 Like |

The secret to buying Nigeria used car is to be ready for the worst case scenario, don't trust the seller, First make sure the car parts are not expensive like engine, transmission.. Second, price the car as though you will replace these key parts Third, ensure the body parts and wirings are at above 80% My experience, I bought a Nigeria used civic 07 during the lock down, seller asked for 1.25m that meet the above criteria, First I did my research on the engine 170k, transmission 90k, suspension overhauling 60k Body was good, no funny wiring, car needed two tyres, two headlight, perhaps some minor painting, that is all We settle at 1m Luckily for two year I used it I didn't have engine or tranny issue, but I was ready for them... And na mobil filling station oil i give am drink steady... Kept a liter in the boot as step up 9 Likes |

Re: Ever Bought A Car You Regret Buying? by BusterG: 6:31pm On Nov 19, 2022 |
sexyto: Excellent question. There are good and bad cars everywhere both tokunbo or Naija used. The issue is the ability to identify, verify, inspect and buy the right car of your choice. The most important things are past maintainance history, rust issues, transmission, engine condition etc So basically you should get a specialist diagnostic person i.e a car doctor to guide before buying so you don't end up buying a lemon. I suggest you read from Page 1 You go laff tire 1 Like |
