Gbpereluvmama: Like CityNgr has pointed out, avoid the Mercedes if you're a first timer. All the same, I've a deal for you, if you still want a Benz. ![]() Here's mine, no single check engine light, only malfunctions are Headlight cornering and SRS codes. https://www.nairaland.com/5157943/mercedes-benz-2004-e320-4matic |

Please can someone explain if there is any major difference between 03 & 05 corolla? Heard the 05 comes with an immobilizer, will this reduce theft? cc nurey heavenlybang at el |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 9:55pm On May 16, 2019 |
Rubbiish: immobilizer does not make the car immobile when the cold metallic barrel of a COLT 45 or the shinning wood trim of an AK47 is displayed by men of the under world. Probably it can help against those vandals Sha. One of my brother in law's has a special immobilizer on his corolla that once you open the door when car is on or not it would activate, so if you drive for some distance engine would switch off then you have to press some special key combinations for it to come on same with when parked b4 u start it you have to press a socket combo. unfortunately the person who did it then doesn't know what it's called and the mechanic who did it too is no where to be found 6 Likes 1 Share |

nurey:Thanks for d explanation sir Most corollas are stolen during when parked, reason i am considering it. But seems mechanics that specialize in doing it are very scarce. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Eddee(m): 7:41am On May 17, 2019 |
Rubbiish: They are not scarce bro, and it's Electricians. I'll ask around, we've one installed in a Corolla. I was told that, most vandals who specialise in the theft of these cars are electricians and given time may always find a way out of the contraption. 1 Like |

Rubbiish: Buy steering and pedal lock, then install keyless alarm so when the car is touched it blows the alarm, down side to alarm is when thunder strike, cats crawl over etc it also responds, if you live in same vicinity with your landlord he may give you quit notice for noise pollution ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

Chechem: The scion is derived from Toyota yaris though with a much bigger 1.8L engine. I did say both the scion and xd are closely identical pick the xd because it is more recent and decent |

HeavenlyBang: Yeah next shipment I will get them for private usage.. Some of uber cars had a very nice paint, but now due to the soap been use the paint has faded. The harsh chemical been use at the car wash will damage your paint.. And you know that people can wash car everyday.. Ideally the more you wash your car ,the more the paints fades away ...unless you can wax the car to protect the paint from fading away.... |
