Guys all this hullabaloo is uncalled for.
Now let's get something straight! Which ever reason the thread is made for is best known to Gazzuzz! Be it positive be it negative,let everyone search his or her own soul.

AUTO INDUSTRY IS EXTREAMLY MASSIVE!! NO ONE,NO ONE CAN STOP AMDMAN FROM SELLING HIS CARS EXCEPT HIMSELF!! Deals are closed both online and offline. People close more car deals on jiji than in here and no one is fighting any one in there.

B4 cars from Canada reflected here,people have been buying/ bringing In cars from cotonoe,we have auction export,we are lade07,del.tell and many many other options. Now that amdman is here it's an option as well for buyers.

I repeat timing of this thread is a little awkward,but it does not warrant crucifying o.p, What I see is lots of people have been waiting for that opportunity to take a jab at gazzuzz,and now they have it.

Conclusion,there are lots of options to buy cars from on and off Nairaland,and as time goes by more options would surface. Ladies and gentlemen whichever option you choose,get yourself a good deal. wink

Ultimately they were relieved of duty in part because they were found to be biased in the discharge of their duties. Back then Seun was very hands-on in his approach

the most surprising thing is that this is actually a very simple sturv....

you import plantain from the Bahamas, someone comes with proof and sources saying the banana u import is mixed with sniper and it will kill people....

he backs his argument with even more sources
..
now because you sell plantain for a lot cheaper than the current market price in naija, you think it's in a bid to bring you down and argue with so much emotions.......... no facts, no source, no proof that Bahamas plantain is also good for consumption....

just emotions and more emotions......

anyways both of them will still continue to sell and I have just confirmed that out of all the 2million monikers bombarding the op, only 4phones at most, are involved!

Thanks for the mention. I would have missed this. I'm wondering how you came about your list though, but seeing that this is a new monicker and not your main one, I will ignore that, for now. If you are not bold enough to come out with your main handle, you deserve just a little attention.

To the topic: Is there a tendency to have high amount of rust in Canadian cars? Of course, everyone knows that. The data is available online. Just a few below:

http://krownhamiltonblog.com/2015/general/do-canadas-winters-cause-more-rust-on-cars/

https://www.newroads.ca/blog/why-rust-proof-canadian-cars/

Are all Canadian cars rusted? Of course not.

Is there an issue with buying a car from Canada (or anywhere in the world for that matter)? Again, No, as long as due diligence is exercised, by way of Pre-purchase inspection. Radautoworks mentioned this on Amdman's thread and got roasted for it. As long as the owner of that thread makes provisions for PPI, and the buyer knows the exact condition of what he is buying, then no issues.

Lastly, ya'll should stop taking things on Nairaland too seriously. Sometimes, what you see online is not what it is offline. Some of these guys are catching their trips and laughing behind y'all, while you guys are here wasting time.

I may not respond so much here, my life outside Nairaland is very busy.

Inception:


in 2012 i bought a 2000 Toyota camry xle from Cotonue. Car was sharp and all.

But rust show me pepper. Fuel tank, Exhaust, chassis.... I weld tire.

Later i found out that the car was imported from Canada.

I sold it for scrap when i could not take it anymore.

@ all

I think this thread should be viewed objectively. Even some cars from Europe and the almighty US(some areas) can also be plagued with rust

The most important thing is for you as the car buyer to do adequate diligence when purchasing vehicle

For cars purchased from areas that this can happen, request for a comprehensive inspection (a token that comes in very handy) that covers all aspect of vehicle , including rust!

When a car starts rusting , it is very difficult to repair/ control such action

Personally i would accept a car that has a knocked engine to a rusted one.

nurey:
I have owned a car from Canada, a Toyota sienna, It came with a slight rust from the rear wheel arc which was visible and the undercarriage specifically the edge where the car jack is supposed to fit. It also affected the lower arm which broke into two both sides one was a bit fatal the other I noticed in time to avoid damage. The chassis to had a fair share and the worst of it that affected the lower arm was the Engine chassis beam, changed that for 20k, it rust and caused untold hardship to my suspension bits.

All the rust has been tackled to an extent, rust isn't extremely severe as it's part changes that it needed. before I forget too, fuel tank rope affected and extra Tyre rim too had to be changed since it was under, it rusted out.

The second car is a Lincoln navigator that is from USA that o e nah head of rusthold, all suspension parts, AC lining and most undercarriage had moved from corroded to rusting but the parts have not been changed cause to lOosen the parts itself is an Herculian task. The car rides ok though except for noise during some extreme offroad.

The 2004 Toyota Camry my sister sent to my dad from Canada.... most part of the body are rust. Wen the mechanic wanted to change the shock absorber he was just complaining that it's was difficult for him to loose most part of the car due to rust,he even called welder to cut off some nut due to rust.

Though the engine is v6 ND ND very much ok ND neat but the body is just cry
The body paint still fair though some part of the boot area is fading away ND beneath the door area is damn rust..the panel beater will soon work on it...so I think dat the main reason..

For your Information, the picture you painted about Lomomike AKA kingreign during Lomomikes moderation era is all shades of wrong. Lomomike was never biased, and he was not relieved of his moderation duty due to his being bias which you erroneously spelt out. He was very vocal about issues of one sided actions, lackadaisical attitude of the owners and administrators of Nairaland handling of information and treating people especially with issues to accident victims or gruesomely murdered people's picture showing up on nairaland homepage and other abnormalities. He spoke to CEO of Nairaland and the CEO of Nairaland didn't share in his view, Lomomike decided to honorably resign and he actually tendered his resignation with Pafestula.
I have screenshots to prove all these till date.

If you need any more fact finding. I can always show you these. Stop being conclusive over what you know nothing about.

Thanks.

Gazuzz:



excellent observation. As a mechanic I would have requested for sensitive information before making payment. As said earlier on page 1 of this post, not all Canadian cars are rusted if vehicle had passed my visual inspection I would have paid, I will still buy a car that catches my fancy on that thread, and as a business man who invests I will resell.

In that case, the focus of this thread and even the topic should have been about rust rather than Canadian cars.

You mentioned that rusted car could be originated from Canada, USA,Europe (but more common for Canadian cars) and cars without rust could as well be sourced from any of those regions . Hence, it is reasonable to say buyers education/protection as being projected here should focus on making sure there is adequate PPI irrespective of course of car in order not to buy rusted car.

You will agree with me that I have not done well if I buy a car from Europe without doing adequate PPI to rule out rust just because it is coming from Europe and I have done absolutely good if I buy a Canadian car but with adequate PPI to rule out rust.

Your title says "why Canadian cars are cheap" and the content focused on rust. Now you mentioned again that not all Canadian cars are rusted as you may purchase from the guy. To me, these do not correlate because what your title and content is suggesting is that canadian cars are cheap "because they are rusted cars".

Cheap cars, because they are rusted. That is the point your title and contents is saying.

I distant myself completely from those that are exchanging insults and banters on this thread. But the truth is that, this thread is directed to the Canadian guy. Wether that is right or wrong, it is not for me to tell.

Me disciple of Gazzuzz. I laugh.
I have been avoiding to mention what I am about to say.

Apart from the fact that Gazzuzz vehicles is slightly expensive, if I can afford it (of which I cant currently), I will rather buy my car from him rather than all of the other greedy sellers here. I will buy peace of mind and a knowledge of the state of the vehicle. Apart from this, his cars are a little higher than normal but you will get value for your money. FACT 1.

Apart from Oluwaseunla (In my perspective), I dont care what anyone else thinks (It is my opinion), Gazzuzz is the next best mechanic you will ever get anywhere in Lagos. This is almost the truth and we all know that. FACT 2.

However, I am not a friend to Gazzuzz but I know him personally. He uses sir for me when we meet and he will not also hesitate to be blunt to your face.
He is a mixture of humility and "pride in oneself". I dont know the right word to combine those two. Maybe its not a negative pride. FACT 3.

Lastly, I judge that Gazzuzz thread was a marketing strategy. Afterall, no one feeds him and he is a man of himself and he is free to post anything he likes as long as its not on another persons thread but for me, the truth is; I do not completely like the fact that he created the thread but like I said in my first post, "I am not a mind reader and I do not know his intention". FACT 4.

Appearance is different from reality guys.

I AM NEVER AND WILL NEVER BE ANYONE'S DISCIPLE.

Just to add, any vehicle you want to buy, the rational thing to do is to pay for PPI by a professional.
Nothing is cast in stone.
Ignore all the aspersions.

One thing you should bear in mind is that as a moderator I am not under the employ of Seun or that of nairaland. I am doing it for free.

Once upon a time cartalk and autos were lumped together and I remember a few people canvassing for a separate forum where issues pertaining to cars could be discussed. It was created but rules were not being adhered to.

I volunteered with another gentleman to keep sanity in cartalk which I do for free because of the passion I have for the forum.

So you talking about Seun reliving me of the duties of a moderator is highly laughable, if you want to become the cartalk moderator I would gladly relinquish it to you.
