Tyres - 50k for a set toks
Cc: Gazzuzz
Paint - Depends on location and the painter. 80k?

I'd say like 250k should get the car in very good shape.

Very easy conversion. Not sure of the price but I don't think it will be more than 15k.

Surprised about the dashboard though. Its just plastic and I'm wondering what could have gone wrong.

I'll suggest you get new tires. There are cheap durable Chinese tires less than 15k per one that will last you for a year or two depending on usage. If possible, don't travel with them and if you have to, do not exceed 100km/hr.

Painting has no fixed price. You can paint for 45k and you can paint for 150k.

Goodluck

If same price, I always buy brand new chinese tyres, but recent year tokunbo tyres are always very expensive than brand-new tyres like those made in 2020.

Also tokunbo if you no careful nah winter tyres plenty grin and nah summer or all weather tyres we supposed to dey use.

bought in January RX motion-X brand 215/60R16 for 18k per unit nah chinese jianyu or so. got two for the front they have done around 1k kms and no issue, also speed around 140km/h and no problem too I only use the vehicle for interstate travels than city

Personally, I prefer new tires whether chinese or not.

While you may actually get good tokunbo tires, many of them were removed from vehicles for lots of reasons which you may not be aware of.

I was in the market for a pair of tires and someone recommended rockblade tires-a Chinese tire. I was skeptical at first but it was cheap and I didn't think I had much to lose. I don't plan to travel with the vehicle and If it develops any issue, I can just write it off and buy another brand. In addition, the seller gave me a 3 or 6 month warranty (can't remember which)


Its been 30,000kms and the tires still have good thread on them. Infact, I should be able to get another 30-40k kms from them.

So for me, its brand new tires any day.

It was around 15k but your tire size may be different from mine. If you're close to rumuokuta, locate Patcoin filling station and ask those guys doing wheel balancing to link you up with their tire supplier.

Please apply due dilligence. I have no affiliation whatsoever with the tire supplier.

if you can make it a million bucks you should get
1. nissan Almera N16 00-03 model tokunbo direct LHD manual transmission

2. peugeot 206 direct LHD manual drive

3. Nissan primera 96 to 07 manual transmission direct LHD

as tokunbo instead. but if you are bound on recent cars then check honda product out most toyota are highly expensive.

it is well documented on the tyre, some would have winter tyre boldly written or

from the tyre model just Google it and it would tell you what weather it is made for.
