In summary from my own experiences of car buying, I will say that buying Nigeria used cars and in some cases Tokumbo cars is like inviting Devil into your bank account to destroy it and leave you with high BP. Again, you see those cars that normally have small gallon at the top indicating for sale, my brother fear such cars if you don't want to die Young. As for mechanics, hmmmm.... those guys will not die well and if they mistakenly die well, they will not sleep well. In conclusion; if you cannot afford a brand new car, go for Tokumbo with an intensive prayers and carefulness. If you decide to go for Nigeria used cars, no it that from that day that you have become an ATM machine for those wicked Nigeria machine. I rest my case! 24 Likes 2 Shares |

okay, last year December i was planning to come to Nigeria from abroad to visit my family as well as launch my newly built house. so, i asked one of my personal person to help me buy a muscle camry, this person searched the part of lagos but the car he was showing me on video had one issue or the other. so finally he got me this clean interior car, showed me the engine, all on video but i asked him to get a mechanic. he actually fo get a mechanic to check and the mechanics said if we can spend about 100,000 naira, the car will be in perfect condition has i want. i paid for the car 1.8m and additional 150,000 to get the car in good condition. with the 150,000 naira, the following was changed. (1) power steering rack (2) the hub for the two legs. (3) servicing and so on. where i noticed there is problem was when it wasnt the car that was used to pick i and my wife from the airports. i finally saw the car they bought for me when i got home, and i was not impressed..it looks like an abandoned crap car. from that moments, each day we drove the car out, it will always develop fault and die on the road. i keep on spending for this road side lagos agberos, wheneve they see the car is dead. from over heating to bad gear and so on. so the engine first knock, i toyed it with #15,000 i change the block, with workmanship #150,000 i buy new car battery #21,000 i managed to fix the leaking radiator two times #6,000 the gear spoilt, i repaird it and paid #70,000 with workmanship. whenever the car is climbing hill, it slow down speed..i complain this to rewire. rewire changed, oil pump, all the coil. buy a whole new fuse box. total money that goes to rewire is about 100,000 naira. i planned selling this car, but each time people come looking, they price this car for 1 m naira, giving excuse they will change the engine and bake the body. some even call the call scrap. i got angry with this price and bought a new engine myself at ladipo, i bought the engine for 450,000 naira. transport and the person i sent total was 500,000 naira. mechanic workmanship was #10,000. after this, the car condition changed alittle but the problem of not being able to climb the hill still persist. i later was introduced to another mechanic, and this person did a great job and the total he charged me to make my car in good condition was #120,000. i aslo end up paying his rewire another #20,000. after all this nightmare, i sold the muscle camry few months ago for 1.7m naira. i had to go to church for thanks giving that this car left my life. 48 Likes 5 Shares |

From what I read here, the bottom line is to inspect the car with a qualified mechanic that must have scanners to scan the vehicle well. Most mechanics are still working without scanners, depending on gazing job. 10 Likes 1 Share |
