I think most of these self acclaimed dealers are mere resellers who just want to make abnormal profit than even the original owner of the vehicle. How can i buy a car for 1.5 million when i can source it nearby for less than 1.2 million

dollz:
Why are pple moving to other sites?
1.Nairaland is as disorganized as ladipo market.
I have bought parts from ladipo before (forget that I'm a girl) and it was my friend that has to point out the various sections to me before I could buy anything.
How many newbies have that sort of time to keep burrowing in the message of posts

Atouba:

..... dude you are really arrogant.

Atouba:


....of course , there is no better example of the much talked about arrogance from dealers than what this dude just spilled. ...sheer arrogance to put it mildly.

olanshi:




I'm not available to trade words with you, cos it shows that you know nothing...


Sorry dude!

To be fair to car sellers, I think that their job is made difficult with the fact that 99% of the people who comment on car post are broke dudes who just want to read their own posts. they have no money to pay and are not even willing to buy, imagine someone posting car that we all know will go between 1.8m and 2.2m yet someone will be bidding 1m or even less ? 99% of people that buy cars from Nairaland do not comment on posts. imagine the stress that the real car dealers have to go through on Nairaland just to put their thread on first page ? They have to keep commenting all the thread just to keep the thread alive and one person with no plans to buy will just type rubbish like the dealer should call him and put a price that is annoying. I have bought two cars in the last two months from people in Nairaland without having to comment on the car post. the real buyers just pick up the number and call.

To be fair to car buyers, at least put the price of the car being sold. Nothing as annoying as call for price.

I doff my hat for you brother!!

If the section is bad....then its the dealers we should blame. Dealers like the Op Dollz.
She said that people price cars like crayfish from Oyingbo. Just imagine the Arrogance?

You want to sell a car and I should not price? And why won't I price a car and know what it costs before leaving my place to come check the car out?

So u think I will waste my time and energy to come and inspect your car, then I like it and you tell me some bullshit price after wasting all my time?

Forget all that nonsense you just said Dollz, reasonable people will price and know what their budget is before setting out.
Do you expect anyone to come and be viewing a car that they can't afford?
When they come and see the car and then they can't afford the price in the long run of what good is that?

In all sincerity I find the auto dealers on Nairaland very arrogant and full of themselves.
They behave as if they are doing their prospective clients a favor.

They won't answer any questions from clients, and later just like this Op they will call it "Crayfish Pricing". Just imagine?

1. Check out the post of dealers here, maybe two pictures only, picture of the tyres alone and the back seat. And when u ask them for more pictures they say, call or come for inspection.

Won't you know the value of what u want before spending money to go and see the "junk" car they have for sale?
Or u think everyone stays in Lagos like most dealers?


2. She said people on Olx are more forthcoming, well since OLX doesn't have space to interact with sellers except to make calls, they may be calling but how many people believe in OLX and its credibility?

3. Olanshi, u sef dey open mouth for here....I laugh at you.
All your cars are over priced and out of range from the "average market price" and u want people to buy from you?
Guy, go and learn that to sell a car, you don't want to put all your gains in just one deal.
When a Nairaland dealer will want to gain 300k on just one ride? Who will come and buy from you?

4. Finally, i will advice you dealers to always make sure u post detailed pictures of cars u want to sell. Full engine pix, front pictures, both sides, rear view, dashboard, front seats and back seats....that's a total of 7 pictures.
Is that too hard to do?

5.
And all these yeye believe that a serious buyer will call you is nothing but a fallacy!!
I have helped a lot of friends and Family source cars here on Nairaland successfully.




I will see a good car and the moment you refuse to put a price I won't call you.!!!
Why do u want to sell a car and don't want people to know the car price? Na free?

And then when we ask the Dealers questions, all they will keep saying is "Available", " Going ".
Going to where? Nonsense people.

If u dealers stop being arrogant and silly maybe more people will be buying cars from y'all.

Hello, Please how can I confirm if a car is stolen or not. Am about to buy a naija used car. Am not buying from a dealer...the owner advertised by himself... Car already inspected and price agreed...but because I don't knw him from Adam I need to be sure of my dealings... I need advice from experience nairalanders

NanaF:


Did the owner say he is the first user in Nigeria? Check the custom papers then check the VIN to see when it was first brought into Nigeria/Cotonou.

Also do a check on the plate number to see what name/address it is registered in. Someone at the FRSC office can help you with this.

I've almost bought suspected stolen cars twice from nairaland.

I once tried to buy a car whose plate number check came up with an entirely different car/name/address. When I asked the owner he said he doesn't know how that's possible that he gave it to a woman to register the car for him. He said since I have the custom papers I can register it as a new car.

The second time that this was helpful, the person then admitted that he was the second user and did change of ownership, meanwhile he never mentioned this before and said he imported it himself.

The second red light was the VIN number had no history meaning it was bought brand new in Nigeria. It was a 2007 Camry. Meanwhile the guy has custom papers saying the car was imported second hand from U.S.

I hope this helps.

God bless you:
(1) NLer car dealers have the worst manners in business. Very impolite, arrogant & cocky. Most have no business dealing with human beings.

(2) Most don't include year car was built if older than 1998 model usually, no price, no fuel type (NOTE that fuel IS NOT EQUAL to petrol. It can diesel too!), no engine capacity, nothing relevant. Seems they want to hide information. Don't get me started on the outrageous prices.

(3) They think they're some kind of celebrity or Obama. People should waste money calling them to find out engine capacity or if AC works. To them, if you cannot call, you're too poor or unserious to buy a car. Disdain for presumed poor people is overwhelming. It's not like most will be pollte on phone sef.

(4) Scam has crept in here gradually. Inspired Autos & co have not helped.

(5) Car section needs a better format. It's a mess. Some dealers can't even follow their own threads to reply. It should be re-organised and be searchable according to car company name, model, price range, etc.

I have been challenging individual dealers over bad attitude here for ages.

If things don't change soon, nobody will even look seriously at Auto section here. You dealers should grow up. Any potential customer is king. If you cannot see that, stay at Scamland called OLX.

By the way, I was already shipping cars to sell in 9ja when IBB was still Head of State.
