The manipulation of facts is from Agents/Dealers not from the owners. The Car Agent/Dealers are devil, only interested in making huge profits. All the adverts has common phrase 'buy and drive'. But the buy and drive in most cases means 'buy and drive' to Mechanic workshop. The wicked Agents/Dealers also engage in Mileage Rollback. Don't make your buying decisions based on mileage because they have been tampered with. One dealer in Ikeja has all the cars on display same range of mileage, that is between 70000 to 79000 even for 20 years old car. The amount of fraudulent activities perpetrated by Agents/dealers are unspeakable.

You know I used to be of the same mindset as you, until years back when I ventured into car sales and I'll tell you this : you buyers are the problem and not the sellers

If dealer tells you that "truth", then you'll 99% likely not buy the car, so what other option do they have? When you go to buy that car and you see the one with high mileage you'll run away and go to buy the one with "low mileage", irrespective of which of both cars is actually better

You buyers will call to enquire about a 2002 model naija used car and you'll be asking : "what's the mileage", WTF. More annoying is the fact that of you now bring in those ones that are clean with low mileage, you'll still want to buy it for peanuts

Majority of Nigerians don't want to pay for quality, they want to buy a perfect car for peanuts, and they'll go home to brag to their friends do about how smart they are. What u see in the auto industry is not peculiar to that industry alone, it's a byproduct of our naija society, so deal with it

Also, before you claim holy, state the industry where you work and I'll list 100 fraudulent , greedy and wicked things you do too in that field, Tnx

My challenge is not for u jare, I'm waiting for the "holy Nigerian" to come and state his biz, so we'll take it from there

Not like I practise what he complained about though, but to be fair here, you're a "big boy", so u can afford to wait for that "little longer" period, not everyone can.

Besides, u already have a reputation, which helps u make sales 80% of the time, not to say it's only u, mine also help me sell my Volvo cars, but do u think it'll be the same for u if u relocated to where no one knows u and take a new identity, to sell same "not perfect" vehicle in the same time frame which u will sell with this same profile?

My point is , Nigerians too are very difficult people to do biz with when u want to follow that "100% truth" route, they'll frustrate u to the point of joining the bad gang.

NB : I don't care what any "holy" NLer has to say about me or the cars I sell, if you're looking for a "holy" dealer, don't click my ads, Tnx

Will you seriously buy a tokunbo car that has been on sale for 5years plus, the car is not in good condition I won't bother giving you contact, it's a rusted car already it's only good for spare parts.
