ProtectMyMoney:


No...Customs valuation is not calculated like you have done above.

Question is why isn't it as clear cut as Timi made it look? Only thing not factored into his calculation is vehicle age and year of manufacture. Nigeria customs and unnecessary abracadabra

Smartchoiice please come and give us a valuation for that contraption above. I saw what you did for that Damsel's W8 Passat. Use that same template, let's see if something good can come out of this kazeem's version of Nissan Yokohama plant

This must come from extensive experience with Kazeems cheesy

A friend was low on fuel when he got to his destination. The plan was to enter the next filling station before his return trip. On getting back to the car, vehicle refused to start so he engaged the next available Kazeem.

First he said it was the fuel pump, later it was a fuse then it was crankshaft sensor and finally insisted it was the brain box grin

My friend refused buying a "brain box" and that was when he(the kazeem) told him he has a brother that can help him scan.

Scan eventually revealed it was a problem with the ignition.

The funny thing is, they never learn. The next time someone else comes, he'll still go on this same rigmarole and will only recommend the scan when everything else fails grin


The issue is kazeems are set in the old ways. They are very resourceful and will fix a problem provided they know the root cause.

Problem is they love throwing parts at problems before determining what the problem itself is. They do this because most times they've parts lying around they'd like to dispose off, and what better way to dupe you of your hard earned cash than to sell you more problems?

In short, the problem for our country na dishonesty

What happened with that ibadan G35x someone put on sale here? Had my eye on it for a sec. I was sure you copped it.

No my guy, I was hoping to get oluwaseunla for the PPI but work tie wrapper these days for am. Besides naija used cars na hit or miss (most times the owner doesn't even know of the faults).

Mutemenot:


Why do most bimmer in Naija ends up in mechanic workshop It's one of my favourite ride but the availability of its parts scares me away.... A colleague own x6, his life has never bn d same

German cars roll out of the factory with a thousand and one ways to kill you financially. The average Nigerian kazeem will freeze the moment he opens a fuse box that looks more or less like a Boeing's. This shouldn't discourage you from going for a bimmer.

First and foremost find at least 3 mechanics that know how German cars from 2002 work.

Secondly, never run to a kazeem directly with your car trouble - I repeat avoid the temptation to have him loosen bolts or run/tap electrical connections - create a thread and beg for input or lift phone numbers of people here and place friendly phone calls across (a lot of them are actually nicer offline than on here), arm yourself with the prerequisite knowledge before proceeding to a meet up with your kazeem.

Thirdly, buy a small potable Engine code reader (don't bother about learning to read DTCs, post am for here - people go interpret am for you).

A small misfire on a German car could cost you half the purchase price if you allow naija kazeems to keep changing plugs, ignition coils/wires, fuel pumps/filters/rails and their favorite part when all else fails, the brain box. Kazeems will only suggest computer when they've finished with you completely.

Heavenlybang will still comfortably beat the Dodge (whether it's an SXT, R/T (3.5/5.7L) . Next year we will go back to basics. Sell everything and buy a proper bimmer. The intimidation has to end!

Very weird, as my G is verrry solidly built. Very. Built like a tank structurally. But yeah, steering wheel and door control trims are all faded.

I think Infiniti picked up things in 2007 with the release of the 2nd gen G. First gen G's also had issues similar to what you listed.

Yeah, some times I feel they could have just stored it properly, it's in the past now. Anybody that wants a proper restoration headache challenge, can always PM me.

Congrats aieromon, welcome to the infiniti family. You have a very lovely looking sleeper right there. Will you by chance be passing through Awka - we get one challenger wer we go like make you help us conquer once and for all.

Nurey, Dannybrasky, Radautoworks get in here, seems like the only way to beat HeavenlyBang's G35 is with another G35. It's AWD, but no shaking, make I hear say HeavenlyBang go fit rig this race.

HeavenlyBang:


Lmao, the mental gymnastics here. grin

I have mad respect for Nissans, but build quality and refinement no just dey. This M35 was packed for some time, I think 11 months or so alongside a Toyota Picnic looking for a buyer, from where dem pack am e dey here develop engine overheating issues, CPS issues, leaky moon-roof, interior falling apart like a deck of cards, in short whenever I drive it, my eyes are constantly on the temperature guage. The picnic runs and drives smoothly, no interior bits here and there.

It's very sad, - I've the parts to fix it, but competent mechanics hard to find for here, and I no ready dash anybody one kobo. Maybe I go open thread put am for sale "as is". Full disclosure no be problem for where I dey.

Nurey getting an SRT8 will cost an arm and a leg, I currently have need for those body parts. Besides, I don't see the need for a Civic Si/Type R or a Bug. HeavenlyBang go still find way buy 370z.

Dannybrasky no worry, that G35 no too well, guy man been mention somewhere say the car get CEL - I dey fancy my chances well. Car wer don dey suffer for naija for the past how many months? By now go don lose like 50 hp from engine performance, even suspension sef don hear am.

No be road matter, roads dey my end wer you fit push pedal down, infact for night, you fit empty speedo for some stretch sef if you ready meet your maker. (potholes still dey constitution for most parts).

As long as na straight line, I no dey fear. I just dey feel say Nissan and Heavenly.Bang don rig Google reviews and YouTube finish. Nothing their motor no dey settle down beat, as in beat well. Check out the video in front wer that puny v6 humble hemi.

American muscle has always been on my list. Right after German muscle which is just very hard to get these days. Las las na W212 E550 kill am.
But still, it's very hard to argue with a massive American V8. That's what they make best.

Review no hard, we go run am as always. But that 212 will cost upwards of 6.5m if you decide to penny pinch and order/ship/clear your self. That's still very high for a car with practically little second third hand value
