Update On My Car Situation. (7770 Views)

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/8418773/what-position

After all the chunks of recommendations I got from this thread.

I first decided to sell as scrap and it was being priced cheaply. The highest offer I got was 700k which was pretty annoying.
The new Kareem I met advised I changed one sensor like that and for the first time in almost a year, the car moved fairly well.
Long and short, I sold it for 1.8M yesterday.
Quite below the amount I've spent but who cares?
Something that was being priced as scrap for 500k, 700k? grin

I feel so happy I'm finally over this depression.
I met a nairalander by the way who sold his Civic 08 for me and it's been an amazing experience ever since.
God bless Nairaland. grin

1 min silence for the unfortunate buyer

He is a Civic dealer, very vast in civic knowledge.
I spelt out the conditions of the car and he spotted them himself. It wasn't a shady transaction.

Nice one! I like this babe. You have common sense. I wouldn't have gone for another Civic but if it works fine for you, you are good to go.
Doing the final repair before selling earned you that 1.1m difference. Which is cool!

wunmi590(m): 8:35am On May 27

This is good, at least you have been able to achieve and keep your promise for your mum...

Berankis: 8:35am On May 27

Please, let's all be mentioning names of Niaraland car dealers that sold good cars for more recognition and patronage.
The ones that sell good cars should always be mentioned and promoted so others can know them more and benefit.
