Car Talk / Don't Pay For The Tokunbo Car If You Don't See These Document by Nicemedia: 12:02am On Feb 05, 2021 |
https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13398670&shareChannel=WhatsApp Lots of questions like documents to collect when buying a tokunbo car in Nigeria floods the internet daily. If you aren' t buying a direct tokunbo car, the owner must have factored in his insurance cost into the price he gave you. Current insurance paper is one of the documents to collect when buying a tokunbo car in Nigeria. Sometimes the car seller gives you an outdated insurance cover. When something happens, you can' t make claims because the insurance cover is outdated. Original Car Purchase Receipt The seller has this in custody, get it. This shows that you are acquiring a legal car and not stolen. If the seller fails to provide this particular document, there is that possibility that you' re dealing with a stolen car. Even at that, be careful when issued a receipt. What you get might be a tampered document with no concrete source. Proof Of Ownership This will of course show that you are the owner of the car in question. Just like other documents, it is very necessary. As the name implies, if you can' t provide these papers, you' d be endangering your ownership status of the car. Duly Stamped Customs Documentscolor Anything related to customs must be stamped and very original. Another thing is that there should be matching details of the car on each of the papers. You should be very conscious of this fact, being that these kind of documents define a car and the driver. You don' t want to hear the Nigerian Police say, ' oga come down' , while another officer cocks his gun. Ensure that you get only original papers, and not something that has been tampered. read more with the link below https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13398670&shareChannel=WhatsApp 1 Like

Car Talk / Do You Know There Are Some Cars That Is Cheaper Than Iphone 12? by Nicemedia: 11:45pm On Feb 04, 2021 |
https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13403566 Last year, tech giant, Apple Inc released its much- anticipated iPhone 12 on 3rd November and its costs a whopping #500, 000. To some it' s a chicken feed that they won' t even blink an eye before buying and to confirm it, it was reported that Nigeria' s music star Davido recently bought 10 of these for his crew member, yes, money speaks. Do you know there are some cars that cost far cheaper than an iPhone 12? We bring you 3 cars you can buy at a cheaper rate. Of course, no new cars will be available at less than $1 000. But, there are an array of used models that you can bag at this price range. 3. 2001 Chevrolet Blazer It' s simply a beast that needs none of the care and maintenance you had to invest in an iPhone 12. The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer lands in the bottom third of our midsize SUV rankings. Its tight rear seats and small cargo hold limit its practicality compared to other models in the class, and it has a firm ride. Is the Chevrolet Blazer a Good SUV? Despite its ranking, the Chevy Blazer is a good midsize SUV. It offers a user- friendly touch screen, energetic engine options, and superb fuel economy. Pros Great fuel economy Strong engine Lots of standard tech features Cons Small cargo hold Tight rear- seat headroom Firmer ride than some rivals 2. 2003 Ford Focus [/b]ZX3 The 2003 Ford Focus is a wonderful small car that' s fun to drive, frugal with fuel and offered in such a wide variety of configurations it would be hard not to find one that suits your needs. [b]1. 1992 Toyota Celica GT- S This is a great car to drive at whatever speed. The engine is not that powerful but the road handling is among the best. The only downside is the size of the vehicle- fitting more than 2 people and/or lots of luggage is difficult. We love our Celica. https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13403566

Car Talk / Maserati 2021 Model Features by Nicemedia: 11:31pm On Feb 04, 2021 |
Despite still being in the prototype stage, the Maserati supercar is already turning heads for its looks. The Maserati MC20 has a lot riding on it. It' s the company' s first bespoke supercar since the MC12 in 2004, which actually possessed a Ferrari Enzo- derived engine. The MC20 is also set to launch a revival for the brand and take the company in a new direction. And it appears that— despite still being in the prototype stage— the MC20 is already turning heads for its looks. The car has won the award for being the " Most beautiful supercar of the year 2021" by the 36th edition of the Festival Automobile International. One Of Maserati' s Most Powerul Cars This is to be one of the most powerful cars in Maserati' s history. It is powered by a 630 hp Nettuno V6 engine that aims to deliver a 60 mph speed in just 2. 9 seconds. It is to be fitted with an eight- speed dual- clutch automatic gearbox, while also featuring a self- locking mechanical limited- slip differential. And to aid you when driving on the road or race track, the car has five driving modes: GT, Wet, Sport, Corsa, and ESC Off, which shuts every control function down to give a very raw driving experience. Maserati MC20: 2021' S Most Beautiful Supercar Maserati claims that the car has incredibly pure lines and class, which they say helps to highlight sheer sporting brilliance. Maserati' s Head of Design Klaus Busse said, " We are honored to receive this coveted accolade, which recognizes the work of an entire team who have made a wholehearted commitment to this unique project, creating a car that opens a new chapter in Maserati' s history. " The company is proud to say that this car is 100% Italian, with not one piece made outside of the country. The Show Must Go On Like most events this year, the awards ceremony was forced to be an online- only affair thanks to the Covid- 19 pandemic. The MC20 made its debut appearance globally in September 2020, and it was received with wildly positive fanfare. Maserati themselves claim that the MC20 is a mix of elegance, sporting prowess, and personality, adding also that it is a genuine masterpiece of style. It is all about a new era for the company, which has been through some rocky times recently. Follow to read more https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13432963&shareChannel=WhatsApp

Car Talk / See How And Where To Buy Cheap Cars In Nigeria by Nicemedia: 9:16pm On Jan 30, 2021 |
Do you have plans to buy a car in Nigeria and looking for either used or new cars? Where should you look for the most affordable vehicles in Lagos, Abuja, and other cities across the country? We have selected the most interesting online and offline places where you buy cheap cars in Nigeria and find your dream vehicle in 2021 Buy cars online & offline Having a car is not a privilege these days. It is the question of your comfort. Those citizens who work far from their home and need to spend too much time on the road every day of their life can save so much time if they drive a car. Time costs more than anything for each of us. Thus getting a good vehicle is a must- have. Because the current salaries do not always allow people to afford a brand new car, you can always find a nice used vehicle and save a bunch of money. For example, if a new Toyota Camry costs 20 million Naira, a used one can cost 7- 8 million Naira. However, you can always find cheaper solutions that suit your financial situation. 3. Cotonou market This is the largest market in the Benin Republic, and it offers a lot of great new vehicles for people from all over Africa. If you know someone (your friend, for example) who is a real expert in purchasing new cars from here and driving them through the Nigerian border without paying too much, you can give it a try. We should note that this plan can be risky (if it is your first time buying a car online, you might find an unreliable seller), so think twice and find a real professional with many years of successful experience. 2. Apapa (Berger) car market This is the biggest Nigerian market where you can purchase a used car. It mostly offers tokunbo vehicles, so this can be your ideal place if you are sure you need a foreign used car. 1. Kano, Kaduna, or Anambra centers These are nice places in the north and south of Nigeria where you can buy a new vehicle from many manufacturers. The rates are much cheaper than getting the same model from a salon. For example, there is a car manufacturer in Anambra (local), so you can buy a new car directly from manufacturers. Many vehicles imported from China, Germany, and Japan can cost less here if compared to prices in Lagos, Abuja, and other major cities of Nigeria.

Car Talk / Best Car To Buy Between Toyota Corolla And Toyota Camry by Nicemedia: 3:13pm On Jan 30, 2021 |
Buying a new car is a tough decision. We' re here to help and we' ve rounded up what you need to know about the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Camry. The Corolla and Camry from Toyota are both excellent vehicles, but it can be difficult to choose the right one for you. They look alike, and yet there are so many differences between them. You might be stuck trying to decide what choice to make, but luckily, we are here to help. We have laid out the different aspects of car buying you should consider when making your choice, and we' re showing you the specs for both vehicles from U. S. News & World Report. This is a big decision, but one that doesn' t have to cause you stress. Keep reading to learn more about whether you should buy a Toyota Corolla or a Toyota Camry! 3. Engine Camry comes out on top with the better engine, even if you don' t decide to go with the costly upgrade. It has a lot more horsepower than Corolla with 203- horsepower, compared to a mere 132- horsepower. The Corolla Hatchback isn' t much better as it only upgrades you to 168- horsepower. You can upgrade the Camry engine to a V6 for $5, 000 and find yourself with 301- horsepower, but it' s up to the driver to decide if the expense is worth it. The main complaint of the Corolla is it has a hard time accelerating, but the Camry will wipe that fear away with the power they produce in four- cylinders. 2. Fuel Economy The Corolla takes the cake for fuel economy with a combined fuel economy of 32 mpg. Camry' s 6- cylinder engine only gives drivers a combined 26 mpg, but there 4- cylinder does allow drivers to reach a combined 34 mpg. This still isn' t enough to win us over though as both of Corolla' s engines will give you over 31 mpg. Corolla will save you money in gas compared to average new vehicles, but the Camry' s lower model engine will have you reaching back into your wallet. If you are willing to upgrade then Camry would be the better choice, otherwise, if you hate paying for gas, then the Corolla is your answer. 1. Cargo Space The Camry takes the bait with 14. 1- cubic feet of cargo space for the base model, while the Corolla only offers up a mere 13- cubic feet. If you go with the Corolla Hatchback, it does offer you 17. 8- cubic feet, and a total of 23. 3- cubic feet with the seats folded, but when we focus on base models the Camry is the winner. The Camry may only offer enough space for about a dozen shopping bags, but it still has enough room for you to be comfortable and easily transport small items from place to place. Safety Rating both vehicles have the same standard safety features. See More.... https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13373773

Car Talk / See The Cars That Will Never Depreciate by Nicemedia: 5:33pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
These special cars are either over- engineered or have a huge community of enthusiasts making them highly sought after in almost any condition. Even used cars that have already taken a big depreciation hit will continue to lose value. But there are some amazing cars that enthusiasts can buy right now that that won' t lose value even if they' re driven and enjoyed. These special cars are either over- engineered or have a huge community of enthusiasts which makes them highly sought after in almost any condition. That means you could buy any of the cars on this list, enjoy it for a couple of years and sell it for roughly the same amount you paid for or in some rare cases make a bit of a profit. BMW E30 Arguably the height of BMW engineering, the E30 is the second generation of the 3 Series produced from 1982 (1984 in the US) to 1994. Few enthusiasts will say the E30 isn' t one of the best sports sedans ever made, even people skeptical of modern BMWs will espouse their love for the boxy classic. Enthusiasts might assume they would be expensive due to their cult classic status and that would be correct for the E30s in excellent condition or have incredibly low mileage but there are plenty of affordable E30s. If you don' t mind high mileage or base models without some of the pedigree of the sportier models can pick up an E30 for less than $10, 000. Enthusiast love of all E30s will ensure that even if you pick up one of the less desirable models there will always be someone out there that will likely pay what you did even after you drove it. If you keep it in good condition you may even reap a marginal profit as E30s of all kinds are slowly gaining value. Just remember to get the Sport or AWD versions where you can and unmodified cars will be worth more in the future. Jeep Wrangler TJ Jeep has been making Wranglers for over 30 years and they' ve been a hit since day one. It would be easy to just recommend any Wrangler and call it a day since most hold their values pretty well but we' re suggesting the second- generation Wrangler TJ. The original Wrangler wasn' t much more than a metal frame and a tough 4x4 drivetrain and the modern Wranglers are sophisticated SUVs that are also good family haulers. The TJ sits in the in- between where it is a robust off- roading machine but also has a few modern comforts that even hardcore off- road enthusiasts will enjoy. Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 We' re starting the list strong with the ultra- reliable and over- engineered Toyota Land Cruiser. We recommend the 80 Series from the 90s specifically due to the legendary 4. 5L straight- six 1FZ- FE engine. The naturally- aspirated engine is known for large displacement, smooth power delivery, and loads of torque all of which are perfect for SUVs. https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13363524 1 Like

Car Talk / See The Reason Why B7 RS4 Remains The Best Used Audi To Buy by Nicemedia: 4:49pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
The RS4 is the longest- running model in the RS line, having first gone on sale in 2000 with the much- loved B5. At the heart of all of this, though, is of course the RS4. The RS4 is the longest- running model in the RS line, having first gone on sale in 2000 with the much- loved B5. The B5 had a 2. 7 liter, twin- turbocharged V6 under the hood— which was re- engineered by Cosworth— pumping out 385 bhp and hitting 60 in 4. 9 seconds. With its successor, named the B7, things took a much different turn. The same understated look and aggressive power remained, though the turbocharged engine was switched out, replaced by a naturally aspirated, high- revving V8 giving out a healthy 420 bhp. The result was a far cry from the old thumping turbos of earlier RS models, paving way for a new era of fast saloons to come out of Quattro GmbH— or Audi Sport GmbH, as it' s now named. Having debuted in 2006, the B7 has some years behind it now, and luckily for us, that means prices are now really affordable. Let' s take a look at what makes Makes a B7 RS4 The Best Used Audi To Buy. Ultimately, though, what makes the B7 RS4 the best used Audi to buy is just how well priced it is. Roughly $14, 000 will get you a decent example, and while there may be a fair few miles on the clock, that shouldn' t be too much of an issue providing the car has been looked after. Should you want a well- used example, these are the things to look out for when buying a B7 RS4. A Detailed Look At The B7 And Why You Should Buy One When anyone mentions the B7, the first thing that comes to mind is the engine. And for good reason. The 4. 2- liter lump was borrowed from the S4, with the RS4 gaining modified pistons and conrods, a new crankshaft and bearings, and new cylinder heads giving an additional 60 bhp. The result is a responsive engine that picks up quickly, going on to rev to an impressive 8, 250 rpm, with a deep, throaty exhaust note that eggs you on as it does so. https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13362464

Car Talk / 3 Sports Cars European Companies Wish They Never Made by Nicemedia: 3:13pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
We' ve seen a host of disastrous sports cars over the years, and it seems European companies are particularly prone to making brand- breaking models. Whenever a company releases a new sports car, it' s always a gamble whether it' s liked by the public or not. Some cars manage to sell well despite having issues, and some just never take off despite being technically good. There are a few models out there, though, that have done more than just sold badly or been a bit forgettable. Sometimes, automakers get a car so wrong that it affects their brand for years to come. There' s been a whole host of disastrous sports cars over the years, but it seems European companies are particularly prone to making brand- breaking models. From cars that rusted into nothing to cars that nobody bought, here are ten of the worst sports cars that Euro manufacturers wish they never made. 3. Smart Roadster Despite the fact that a sports car from a microcar company is an unusual concept to begin with, the car sold fairly well. However, an exceptionally high number of repairs under warranty resulted in production stopping in 2005. It was reported that the average value of this warranty work was over $3, 000, and while it was little more than an inconvenience to owners, the extra costs wiped out Smart' s profits. As a result, production was never resumed and the Roadster was canceled. 2. Porsche Carrera GT The Carrera GT wasn' t a bad car, but there' s a number of issues with it that have caused Porsche a PR nightmare. When the car was released, it received mixed reviews, with some reviewers even saying it felt like Porsche didn' t care much when making it. Reviewers attacked its handling, saying it felt unpredictable and even dangerous to drive. The second big PR issue for Porsche was the death of Paul Walker, who was driving a Carrera GT when he fatally crashed. It gave the Carrera GT' s critics even more reason to claim that the car was unsafe and has stained the model' s reputation ever since. 1. Bristol Fighter Boutique British company Bristol had been making luxury sports cars for decades, but their designs were dated and only appealed to a niche audience. Their sales were middling, so in 2004 they released the Fighter in an attempt to revitalize their brand. Sporting a V10 engine from a Viper that could produce 628 hp in the Fighter S version, it packed a punch unlike any Bristol before it. Unfortunately, it was a sales catastrophe, with Bristol managing to make anywhere between 9 and 14 examples (there' s a debate over the exact number) during the course of the model' s 7- year production run. The Fighter was the final nail in the coffin for the company, which was liquidated after production of the Fighter shut down., https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13360872

Car Talk / See The New Features Of Chevy Silverados That Got People Talking by Nicemedia: 3:02pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
The Chevy Silverado is one of the most popular American trucks on the market, but they can be made even better with some quality modifications! 2. Jackal When Ford introduced the F- 150 Raptor back in 2010, the truck disrupted the entire industry. It is one of the very first factory- made performance trucks that will fare well both on and off- road. Ford set the bar so high that the competition refused to release an equally powerful and versatile truck. 1. Skulled If there is one thing about American trucks that is very peculiar, it is definitely their dually trims. Duallies are huge and aggressive. They are powered by some of the most powerful V10 diesel engines found on a truck. It is quite normal that truck fans worldwide have developed a liking for these monstrous trucks. https://m.scoopernews.com/detail?newsId=13357080
