tmtech:that mechanic is in the USA< hence I said google wont be fair on you, if the Mechanic was in the EU the Data would be different, my friend has an Hyundai, when it had an electrical fault, he had to recover it 2 hours to a specialist place to get fix, and cos the car was a non EU car parts are on the higher side. I shall give you a typical example, I own a Rqnge rover sport, its in NIgeria as we speak if you check my topics you will see it there conversion and all, do you know how much my brake pads cost? less than £40 for non performance ones. Brand new ,oil 5W30 £24.let me stop there. However if it was in the US, it would cost mayB Double.So sometimes it depends on where you at for the value of maintenance to be determined however in Nigeria and most of Africa this do not count as we do not manufacture parts . 2 Likes |

vertueptime:Bro don't need to be rude but these assumptions hold no water. Tyres are independent on brand of car, what has that got to do with it Low to the ground? And you are here talking about fuel consumption like seriously? this is a joke right? we talked about fuel consumption on this Auto thread like 12 years ago, you are a bit late. And for you to come up with this cheap argument of low profile tyres and fuel consumption shows you know not a lot about cars. 1 Like |

Meotoka: That is not true the value you place on your car will determine the buyer,i once list my 2010 Corrola for sale,it took me well over 2 months to sell it,not because is not sound,but because they fall short of my reserved Price. A well maintained car will sell any day any time irrespective of the brand 1 Like |

Bobxin:Nop Im sure there would be a person round your area, I use the google map to locate the ones I had in PH, try it in your ;local area, some of these guys are up to date. Beside, you on your part should invest in a useful diagnostic tool if you car is of the newer side ie 2013 up cos you will need it and if you mech dnt have one then you dnt have a mechanic! cos you cant be fixing a 2013 car without a good scanner 3 Likes |

I'm and will continue to be a Beemer freak, anytime, any day. I went through hell in the hands of mechanics before I sold my 5 series at a ridiculous price. Parts are a major factor. Can u believe in your entire blessed life that only one (Ogun go soon kee am) darm fella sells BMW parts in the entire Yenagoa - Bayelsa State He tells you the price of a part, you make enquiries @Ladipo,Lagos & u realize that the miserable fellow has tripled the amount down here in Yenagoa. You then resort to pay for the part from Lagos thru way bill. On receiving it, you realize they sent a part for same model but different year, bro na so your to & from way bill wahala Don enta gear. Las Las, I sold it off cos the ride would sit idle for weeks running while the way bill drama continues. Ladipo guys sef go dey do like say na only dem Sabi drink monkey tail On getting the part with the model & year you require, they will send the one for the manual version rather than the automatic I Waka go buy Rav4 where parts dey everywhere be4 I go go jail for murder or attempted murder 8 Likes 1 Share |

Bobxin:Let me refer you back to your Lexus Angle sensor issue, you see that angle calibration tool needed is an indept tool, if its a specialist one. probably cost btwen N1.5 to N2 million to have if its the original one, so you think that kind of person would charge you labour N 10k?? And did you manage to fix it? or was that eventually not the fault 1 Like |

Demand!!! Demand for BMW is very low in Nigeria. The only way to sell it off is by bringing down the price to minimum. The mad demand for Japanese cars is becoming unhealthy. Very soon, the price of MB C class will also become too high because the demand is going upMB C class is high already go and check now |
