Morning Oga Gazzuzz,

I am looking to buy a car and got an offer of an EOD 2005 V6 and would like to know what your opinion is? Is it a good buy and what are the things to look out for. Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:

if it is a Nigerian used don't buy it. Transmission failure is very rampant

jayjayjay:


Thank you Oga Gazzuzz. Point well taken.

Please what car will you recommend within the 800k to 1million price range if am getting a Nigerian used.

Gazzuzz please what could be the cause of this on Toyota camry 2007? I think I have seen it very common. Does this mean this model gets gear problems easily?

My Toyota camry 2007 showed me no signs, I was coming at night and it stopped accelerating, it was toggling its acceleration until I got to my destination. I checked and nothing was wrong, no oil shortage nothing. on leaving the place back home, it got to the middle of the street and never accelerated again. Now my mechanic has called his gear specialist to check and they are saying I need a replacement. Just like that??

And here is the issue again, telling me to convert to 10pin and that its better bla bla bla. What do you advice?

GAZZUZZ:


replace transmission.

sisqology:



The fluid? Or the box itself? Is 10pin advisable please?

GAZZUZZ:

problems with transmission do not happen overnight, it is progressive probably went unnoticed until it failed.

Transmission oils do not last forever, it should be replaced at intervals with the right fluid.

Presently transmission has failed. I am not a transmission specialist. But if it was my car I will get same type of transmission replace and continue using my car.

sisqology:



I understand boss. But Kazeem was saying Gear box damaged. Does it mean he is trying to dupe me and we should change the transmission fluid first??

ThaSlimKidd:


Oga GAZZUZZ , I need your insight on something. I intend to get my first car soon before the end of the year , I am torn between the 2006 EOD auto trans and the 2007 Civic auto trans.which would you recommend for a learner male driver to learn the ropes and maintain LONG TERM with your expert pros on each

thanks boss.
Awaiting your feedback

GAZZUZZ:


I hate the 07 civic. Personal reasons. The accord 07 is a more expensive car, larger engine size and has more room.

ThaSlimKidd:

Does the personal reasons have anything to do with the civic being problematic or being too low to the ground? A friend adviced it's a good car to get as I'm still getting comfortable with driving and for a first car , it's mostly problem free n won't give me headaches.
the 07 accord popularly called Discussion Continues? is it plagued with the leg pull as lower models? and is it better to maintain than the civic . Sentiments or personal reasons asides ?

Thanks once again for the professional insights

goodieuzo:
oga gazuzz,do you go with somebody for a car inspection before purchase?

GAZZUZZ:

not enough space in engine bay to work with. Every thing is cramped up and in irregular locations.

ThaSlimKidd:

Thank you oga boss.
so you'd advice I go with the accord 06/07 DC i4 model over the 07 Honda civic?

GAZZUZZ:

It depends on the use to which it I being put. That I do not like working on it does not mean others would not mind.

The civic has better fuel economy.

GAZZUZZ:

you contact me, send description of vehicle, send advert link.

I charge between 10-20k per vehicle depending on location of vehicle and type of vehicle.

I contact seller and go on my own.

I inspect and send you a report.

I do not dabble into the price of a vehicle.

I do not dabble into paper work

I advice on mechanical, and electrical integrity of vehicle.

Oga mi Gazzuzz. I'm presently confused on which ATF to use for my 2008 Honda accord. The manual says Honda ATF Z1 but I was told Honda has replaced it with ATF DW1. Please recommend

Hi GAZZUZZ, please can you recommend a hybrid mechanic in Lagos? I drive a Toyota prius and 2 weeks ago I had my brake pads changed. When I went to pick up the car, the brake lights, ABS, and VSC lights came on. I took it back and they couldn't figure out what it was, 2 days after the buzzer came on and has been on. Someone referred me to the Hybrid guy in Agungi but he seems to have a lot on his plate and doesn't pick his calls. I want to sort the car before the situation worsens.
