Don't spend any more money on it. Sell off! Buy a 2005 Honda Civic with the proceeds, thank me later. 1 Like 1 Share |

Update: The car is still parked somewhere in agege. Trying to revive it since wednesday last week has proved abortive. A total of 30k has been spent so far. Now, theres consideration of removing the whole engine because of a leak not far from under the radiator. It was said that it is the water pump. Now it doesnt look like the water pump any longer. ![]() |

I was in ibadan to fix a lot of vehicles in a single location yesterday. The owner is a die hard repair/rebuild Fan, he has 20year old cars running better than toks (all thanks to Gazzuzz) But it comes at a great cost. I will open a thread for one of his vehicles which I will be fixing in my workshop soon. It's a 2004 Hyundai sedan, present Value of vehicle is about 200-350k. fixing vehicle will cost about 400-600k full body interior, paintwork,engine repairs suspension, a/c work. Owner presented with the possible realities, but insists on a repair since I'm the one doing it. His Reason is simple. Same used car (toks), same mileage, would have unpredictable repair costs, he would rather bite the bullet than replace the car. IT all depends on your perspective, your pockets and your priorities. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Abduletudaye: Bros, can't you see this thingy is not just giving you troubles but draining you financially, coupled with embarrassment and sleepless night. calculate how much you have spent since it started embarrassing you. Now, don't you think owning a Golf 2 that gives you peace of mind is better than owning sick Ferrari that sucks you dry and doesn't even move 3KM without dying. What is the point of owning a car that you cant move from point A to B without you blowing its nose? Imagine this ......owning a car that you can't drive fast so exhaust wont fall off, you can't drive slow as well so it wont die on you cos at the end of the day if it does, the car go need to rest 3 days at the spot. At the end of the day you still climb bike or enter bus. You go don become food for your Kazeem, rewire and panel self. My brotherly advice. Scrap that Motor before it scraps you. Stop wasting money, Go and buy peace of mind even if it s small. And if u cant, use public transport till you can afford what u want. It is not worth it. 1 Like 1 Share |

If you love the car you can keep it It doesn't seem it was such a bad car afterall http://m.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Maxima/ But see also https://www.edmunds.com/nissan/maxima/1999/consumer-reviews/ and https://www.cars.com/research/nissan-maxima-1999/consumer-reviews/ And note that a client of Gazzuzz had the option to get a tokunbo but Preferred a car whose history he knows because of repairs uncertainty Do you know that an 05 model vehicle in my shop as we speak needs its exhaust pipe changed? All those other repairs are reasonable for the age of the vehicle. But then its your vehicle and your money. |
