It behoves on the buyer to do his due diligence by offering what price he sees appropriate.

If you agree to buy an 03 Camry from me with a bad engine at the price of a toks, what sin have I commited.

You had the freedom to inspect, test drive and even bring your kazeem undecided
Abi ooh... After all its business, it's has no profit or lose margin.

That is the unfortunate truth.. Those sellers already know in their mind that this car no go last another six months .. They will just tell go bring your own mechanic before you drop money..

Kazeem will come test drive, he will move the car back and fourth . Check the engine ,check transmission etc and he will pass the car as good to go .. Car business very tough business

Yes, that's why it's either/or
Most people don’t bother to read their car’s manual. That’s why you sometimes come across post asking which oil to use.

My car manual states different mileage for normal and aggressive usage. Full time
“uber-ing” falls under aggressive.

How’s Texas treating you? Some of us are eagerly anticipating your return oo.

Yes all three cars were used for uber .. Most were over 140k miles ... The correct use of engine oil will prolong the life span of your engine, but am also aware that cars with high miles can also short oil .. I rather do my part by using the correct oil/fluid and let nature takes its course . So in all my three cars if I didn't follow owners manual on maintenance etc .. I will now than have two issues instead of one.. I think 1 is better than 2..

A good mechanic will take is time to open the engine..
Thank you

Kazeem knows he will be the one to fix all the faults hence more money to him.

Funny you will see someone buy 04 Corolla for 750k and will expect car to be perfectly fine grin

I have cars doing about 280 to 400kms daily on interstate. Funny thing is the Camry is always requiring oil top up after every round trip while the Corollas doesn't.

I would have normally expected the bigger 2.4 engine to be best suited for long distance trips but on second thought, the 1.8 Corolla seems to be cutting it for me.

Just as I suggested to them on the radio when the issue was raised about the closure I'm very much happy about this.

Same system employed in the dopemu flyover

What this means is that from about 12mid night to 12noon the open lane would be a one way towards thr island from the mainland.

From 12noon to 11:55pm midnight would be another one way from the island to the mainland.

So you have no business plying the 3md bridge coming n going against these time from the island and vis ver sar at these hours.
They're supposed to leave an interval of at least 15 minutes between the change of traffic flow. Some cars will climb the bridge at 11.54 and won't even get to the middle of the bridge by 11.55 when the other end will be open for cars going the other way to climb. They want cars to start having head-on collisions abi

What just happened to you is the advance effect as a result of uaing the oil not recommended for your engine. Rigging, overhauling or what ever it is called won't solve the problem. My brother that engine is gone you can take it from me.

If you doubt me, can you compare tje way the car moves now with yje way it moves when you first bought the car? Obviously NO! That's to say the engine is already weaken.

Try this and you see you engine has started smoking already. Fire the car very well and use your index finger to pick the inside of the exhaust you would have noticed a mixture of oil and carbon stain on your finger. You probably don't need to see the visible black smoke to know if yiur engine has staryed smoking.

This is also a good technic to know if an engine is about to start smoking b4 buying a car.

Best solution is contact dru23 or GUZZUZZ to get you a good engine direct from the US then start using the rexommendes oil.

God luck
Thanks so much. I'll surely get another engine by next year God willing, then sell the car after changing d engine

Well you have to check the reason why the camry always need topping oil now .. It could be something simple, we should not conclude that the corolla is better for that reason..

black smoke means your car is running rich, (excessive fuel consumption ), which might be caused by faulty 02 sensors, bypassed radiator fan, dirty fuel filter etc. White smoke indicate that your car is leaking coalant or water into the combustion chamber which might be caused by burnt head gasket. Blue smoke na him be the koko, it means your rings, piston or seals are bad. Smoking engine dont necessary mean your engine are gone.

My bro.. the "set destination" option has been removed from bolt app. It's now On/Off.
Felicity0001:

Cutting of edges is part of life and progress. It may look wrong but it's what it is.

People loby to get a contract.
Why do companies pay royalties to traditional rulers, community boys, settle cult boys and even arm rubbers just to have a smooth operation? Even after paying task and awarding scholarship.

While in school there is a term called "softening the ground" isn't that corruption? Yet the white man made it legal and even included it into our syllabus.

So brother man, do what ever you can to survive especially in this country so long your conscience doesn't condemn it.

As for me I'm very much ok with Uber apart from this present time which is very challenging due to the absence of promotion. One thing I like about uber is if you work 10k with uber you go c ur money but with taxify a go be like say your money is been siphoned and repatriated to an Indian goddess.

The 2 reasons I would want my bolt account back is because of their accurate set destination feature and to fill the viod of uber's driving hours.

Since when? Cos I still used destination on Sunday. N it worked.

Somtyms, it won't give you exactly wat you want. But if you observe 3-4 trips, at least one can put you within 6-8km radius of your area.
