GAZZUZZ: Got to location in isolo, it was easy to find, vehicle looked like it had not moved in months! Body was in fair condition , only had a really bad rear bumper , the interior was dirty! But nothing Eze couldn't clean up, the engine bay was as red as ikorodu mud could be with cobwebs , but interestingly no wires flying up and down. Opened the radiator and saw fresh coolant, Engine oil dip stick I saw almost clean engine oil at normal level, transmission oil dipstick was at normal level and very bright pink! At this point let me give you a few tips, 9/10 times, if you go inspect a registered car and the transmission oil is new, car is battling a transmission issue . At this point I asked the seller if the car could start (battery was in the car but not connected), to my surprise he said yes, in my mind I said NEVER! Installs battery terminal, shifts car into neutral (didn't start in park) cranks and car came to life on first crank! I almost clapped for it but as a semi ipob, you have to keep a disappointed face during car deals to get a good bargain, so I comported my self and remained in character (make i no loose guard). Went behind with the engine running, there was no smoke , engine was a bit noisy but not the expected bearing noises, rollers belts and possibly alternator or compressor bearings, but nothing sinister. Mileage 92,000km (57,000miles) Underbody filled with mud but no visible violent rust. Time for due diligence. With the current plate number series, I knew vehicle had passed thru more than one hand in 2020, with the engine running (I was still amazed) i flipped thru the scrips (paper work) while watching body language and asking relevant questions (e no go make sense to enter crime fighters on Kia Rio) Before I forget, I was impressed with the wheels, had nice rims but very bad tyres (I thought they were 14" stock) Messaged my buddy in licensing to confirm if the change of ownership was properly done or if the vin was modified, quick comparison and it was a match and no one was looking for it (not stolen) Paper work intact time to move the car. I did not take a lot of pics during inspection so manage what I have plx. 6 Likes 3 Shares

6:45pm Remember I came with a vehicle so I pleaded with seller to move vehicle to my office in ladipo which was less than 2km from his location , I asked if it would move he said yes, but that it would not climb hills (transmission stuck in 3rd gear) I planned on leaving it there and getting a tow truck to pull it on Sunday. He agreed, and I drove in front (note I never pay the man yet ) I would like to say at this point that he is on of the most honest down to earth car owner/seller if ever met (I'm sure you will read this someday) but sha I had not paid and I was driving in front it is what it is Vehicle I came with with below (not with all the load o ). Had a good solid bumper and I had a plan in case the Rio broke down. Got to my office and it was Car locked! Time of the year and nah Prado upgrade full every where, no space to park inside the compound . Had to come beg oga again, but this time with sweet mouth and a financial reward , "pls can we drive together to my office in ogba" he said as long as there is no traffic and no hill it could manage I said I will drive in front, and switch to rear and push with the Lexus if for any reason it broke down or could not climb (the things we do to tokumbor cars ) Uncle agreed but also reminded me that papers were expired, I said no problem, we will stick to major roads to avoid detection. 2 Likes 1 Share

The journey began, and small nyash as she's now fondly called slowly and steadily followed behind as I drove in front. I was amazed it was moving at that pace , never stopped or broke down , we made it to my office in regular time, and parked in front of the office. Went in and we filled all the paperwork and I transferred funds to his acct. Next I drove him back home as this was our agreement. Car was in that parked mode for 3days in front of the office, there was no time for it. But on the 3rd day, there was free space as 2 clients missed appointments, that's how I drove the car for the first time. 5 Likes |

* Noisy suspension front and rear (danfo type) * Engine slugish (underpowered ) * Engine cranks longer than necessary * Stuck in 3rd gear, bangs in drive and reverse. * Starts in neutral only * Horrible brakes * No horn * Very stiff power steering * Tyres worn out * Engine bay, interior trunk filthy * Body jobs required * Paint work required * Rear bumper required * Rear lights getting cracked (sunburn) * AC dysfunctional. * Car stereo Display not working Most of what I could see at that point in time. Going thru my head at this point is, make vehicle drivable transmission, small body work, steering then quickly flip it dru23 style make a quick 50-70k. Then another voice reminded me that there was no run around vehicle in the shop and this would be perfect for teaching the Bois how to drive and quick errands. I started work. Called Eze to come wash the interior and trunk while I simultaneously started work in the engine area. First things first a scan Revealed transmission codes some solenoid A stuck one kind like that, I ignored it, inspected harness was intact, went over to engine and removed valve cover and timing belt cover. The timing was off by a mile! Explains the loss of power and sluggish movement. Remarkably, when the cover was opened the engine was CLEAN! As in what was obtainable in a foreign used engine, with good history, I went back to our chat and I was like this guy no wind me o! 5 Likes
