Per the above captioned, 80% of Nigerian Used cars are always having either engine or gear fault. The rest 20% are not in good condition but can be fixed. You will hear talk like “once the car start to give you major problems, just sell am”. Does it mean the person buying it doesn’t like better thing? To make matters worse, serious faults won’t be disclosed leaving the would be buyer vulnerable eventually. Things have to change sha.



Just ranting.

Cc everyone on car talk

dicksonadams:
All cars have issues, you can't fix it all... Imperfecto

kingreign:

Wrong. Not all cars have issues. You can fix every fault in a car. Just time, money, skilled technicians, availability of parts.

dicksonadams:

Let's say most naija cars have issues.. And it is very hard to find one to buy

nymphomaniac:
it’s almost always a case of “pick your poison”

Greed on the part of both buyers and sellers example
My accord EOD has smoking engine and flaring gear which doesn't pass gear 3 okay to fix
Complete Engine K24A is around 220 to 250k and transmission is 150k total is
250+150=400k

People would price naija used 500 to 700 saying the car don tey and nigeria road and weather don maga the body and other components.

Remove 400 from 700 you will have 300 left minus workmanship and the rest, the car is worth 250k or less

But if I decide to just advertise the car at 550k, saying the engine is smoking slightly without disclosing the gear issue and adding AC needs gas I go see greedy person way no know about car and can't pay Gazzuzz or that mrautofixcool guy inspection money price am 450 to 500k and carry the wahala 4 head guy man go happy.
All humans have greedy tendency just some checks don't enable us exhibit it.

you have a point sha. CRVs and Accords are priced crappily compared to Toyota cars. You will see a Toyota Camry 2001 being priced at 800-850k and an accord 04/05 being priced for 600-750k. Lol

Kokomo:


I know a guy who looks for naija used car with bad engine or transmission, he once bought an Honda CRV 03 with smoking engine and bad Ac... Price the car down to 300k, frame was ok, electrical was ok.

The funny thing was that he drove the car that way 2 month ( he said he could have drove it longer than that ), while periodical refilling the Ac gas.

on the 3rd month, he enter Oyingbo, got a new engine (200k) , and fix the Ac leakage.

Car has been serving in no issue for 2 years

He swears and claims till this date that naija used car are great deal

duality:


The reliability of the Toyota and easy to fix.

My friend sold his EOD for 200k
He eventually bought a 05 Camry and recommends Toyota based on his experience.
