Please make sure the catalytic converter is still intact. Otherwise it will consume more fuel than a jumbo jet!

Mods hope you are all watching this Bwana

So, after much market research and advise I got from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7161605/good-people-buy-tokunbo-e250, I finally decided to 'risk' it and purchase the vehicle.

I paid for it 1.4m, gave the ford mechanic 8k to service it (Nozzle and oil change), and also bought gear oil and engine oil. Then I gave it a small body wash.

In all, I spent about 1,430,000. Now vehicle speeds like mad, and is a Rear wheel drive.

So all I need to do is panel beater work. I'm budgeting like 200k for it.

So all in all, this vehicle at 1,630,000 is an excellent buy.

Or what do you think

Op well done.....I'm caught between buying a 2011 Rav4 and completing my personal house back home.

A very big conundrum for me.

DarlingtonC:
Thank you Sir.

I thought about it too but For some reason, the 4 tyres are FIRESTONE brand, and still solid.

I even noticed the tyre after I had paid....at the vulcanizer's place when I wanted to inflate them

RealityKings:
looks like all these "get -away-robbery car''.
its a cool looking vehicle tho

Firestone is a very good tyre but Ensure you check date and year in the Tyre's as that is what really defines how good the Tyre's are.

Congrats!

OK. Good buy. Congrats

If you are in lagos make sure you get all your papers.
Running a commercial vehicle can be wahala in lag (saying this as a pickup owner)

Road worthiness is a little harder now.
You may or may not need a speed limiter. Not absolutely sure

Repaint it to black and hand it over to GIG Logistics. ROI is good

DarlingtonC:
Good Point Sir. Will check it

Righteousness2:


Carefully look at the Tyres, You will see a place where you have 4 numbers in a small circle, showing the week and year the tyre was manufactured.
The first two numbers is the week the tyre was manufactured while the last two is the year. Then you know if they are still good.
Firestone could serve you for 4-5 yrs.

True talk. Look like all those Cars, used in American Robbery movies.


Congratulations
