membranus:


Fingerprint matching? Where do you think you are, US.

No dey work here.

Gabbriell:


Sadly it is. If you know much about Internet you will know that exporting and importing electronical or mechanical devices (b/w countries) has lots of protocol.

I have had an issue with BMW part b4. I will never wish that problem on my enemy.

Toyota and Honda are well built than other vehicles and the parts are easily available.

If I get a new mecedes in the future, it will just be for fashion not my daily driver.

The reason theif avoid them is not because they are secure. It is because they won't see people to buy the parts unlike Toyota and Honda.

Emmy000seun:
so sorry for your loose bro, because I was in such situation before.(I change to Camry 04, still has his own fault too)the best advise is for you to switch to other brand of car aside Corolla..if you can get the senior of the Corolla from 2009 upward, they don't have vandalization history, or Camry any year of your choice, or Honda civic, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio..those aforementioned cars will always give you what you want and rest of mind.. my view tho!!!

gevans:

I normally park on the road side since 2020

tmoneyu:

Are u planning of selling it

Perfectnumber6:



No. Na bro atleast you should have known that people have been observing you... At least if you own another car and you want to park outside let it be in a filling station give aboki Watch night. 100-300 naira your car is safe until the next morning.. Sorry for Your loss just sell off this car they vandalized my candid advice.

Toktee:
I swear to my balls your mechanic have hand in this operation... the operation look much like it was done by someone with mechanical experience.


Is not easy to take out brain box just like that, also look the way the control on the driver side is removed.



Something like this happened to later I discover it's my mechanic that did it... I almost roast the ediot.. He replaced everything with Abeg you.

gevans:

I want to buy 2008 Honda Accord, hope it's a safe car. Also, is it a good buy

NOETHNICITY:
Just be thanking God, you are very lucky. When they did this to me, they removed all four roller from doors, removed my battery, removed my brain box, removed my 2side mirrors, removed my back lights, stole two shoes from my booth(my car is like my house, that's where I keep my shoes and lots of other things)

I spent 210k replacing the parts stolen from the car. Them no tell me before I relocate within 2weeks out of that area

Perfectnumber6:


Yes it is but depends if you are buying tokunbo or Nigerian used.

Penboy:


What's the fault of the 04 boss?

BigTableShaker:

At first, I never want to say anything but the moment you mentioned Honda Accord!!!

Accord is a super car compared to that overrated toy cum Corolla.

Toyota Corolla sad-boys won't like my comment tho

slimmoney:
2006 - 2011 civic engine no pass 150k, and u fit pack am for lagos go sambisa still come back lagos, u go meet am exactly where u park am, so dear OP do u wonna switch or u wonna stick to d vandals magnet?

fineboynl:
Look very well. They broke the last small glass at the side from there they gain access into the car. From that hole they open the back door and the rest was history.

I was surprised you didn't mention battery and radio. It looks like they didn't remove your battery and radio.

The theif is in the same street with you and probably an electrician.

Every night from 1am to 2am. They go about the street looking for car to vandalized. Especially cars that are pack in the dark.

Look like the person don't want load because he would have remove your 4 rims and battery.

gevans:
I don't know why some Nigerians are so heartless. I went to execute some Projects yesterday after first service. I got home past 10 (pm), I went to my car this morning to pick some document from the boot. When I was leaving, I pressed the lock key from the remote, it didn't lock. When I checked properly, I found out that brain box, the driver side glass button and passenger button were all stolen.

I am so pained, this is happening after spending over 500k to fix and replace the engine.


Pls what should I do now, I need to make a critical decision on this Corolla of a thing. I really needs your advice.

Thanks

initstime:
See below , Maitama Abuja. Opposite a Zenith bank security house at Zenith Bank littered area ...at about 7.30pm, Daughter school bag , PC,storage devices stolen

buygala:


No you can't.. Sadly


Sell that car asap and retrieve your peace of mind.. As it stands, all Corolla Drivers, especially this model, are within the gunsights of all armed robbers, petty thieves, car jackers, vandals and assassins across Nigeria..

Next time e fit be you dem go vandalize because of that silly vehicle .. Better make hay while the sun shines

Safety first.. That silly fuel economy and durability Corolla mantra can take the back seat...

Na who dey alive and safe and who dem no vandalize him moto dey enjoy fuel economy

gevans:

I gonna buy Honda Accord 2008 upward. I won't mind it's ball joint issues. I will buy and stock enough ball joints

gevans:
I am considering Tokunbo, however, if I see a good Nigerian use (less than a year) I won't mind

springLogistics:



They had less time! They will come back.

Before they do, pls sale this car for your peace of mind.

I had this similar experience. Sadly, I had just returned from hospital with wiffy around 2am.

Before 4pm, the same car was something else.

Far more worst is the fact that the brain box later installed did not matched the car, it was from one problem to the other.

One day, from the mechanic I took the car straight to road side car sellers. Collected what they can raise, put it my pocket and went home happily.

End of this type of corolla. Na so I take go to Honda brand that I detest for long o!
