Cos in order to provide helps, the vibes radiating to my seems to be one of Biz Interest, why there is nothing wrong, I recon there is a lack of Judgement on your part as to waht that car might face and the value there off when it gets to 9ja.If the car was a Personal car then yes, to buy it and fix it, Nahhhhhhhh, the cost would def top N2.5 and above
If you are mechanically oriented, you will deduce from the Back pic that this car has a structural Damage, ie chassis is bent.In teh US thats Unroad worthy.U would have to cut the whole back end off and weld a new one in.you want me to go on??

Mr. Mechanically inclined, i am glad someone else pointed it out to you. Why would you need to cut off the back. Only say what you know. When you seek help and advise, you should try talking to people who know what they are talking about and not guessers like most on this forum.

And the only way to speak with knowledgeable people is to speak with people who do it daily or at least have done it before. I dont know about you but i dont work for free (May be you do)

Owner is free to make her choice. At least she have all the options on the table. Not guessers and doomsayers talking what they dont know.

So it is safe to say you are looking for work, why not come out and say so?
yes Im mechanically inclined so to say as its what i do day in day out, any person who fails to see that that dent is deep more than 10 Inches from that Pic is a learner and i can tell you the distance btw the Chassis and the rear bumper is not up to 10 inches.That car wont pass MOT cos it would have been labeled as having structural defect ie write off.Would have been sold for parts only not repairs.
I bought savaged cars once upon a time frm the US and UK mark for 13 years to ladipo to do up and sell. Im not alien to this.
In all I say wrong investment.

Go ahead and advise the OP to seek advise from a school teacher then. You want to sound like you know what u are talking about, but the reverse is the case. Just go ahead and pack it in dude. At least you were able to hear from someone else that the damage does not require all that nonsense you were talking. If i had said that, you would have accused me of trying to get work at all cost.

You have not brought anything logical to the table except ranting.Make your argument louder not your voice.What have you said so far to encourage the do-ability of what you seek rather than seek for WORK?

I mistakenly bought a non-drivable car toyota corolla with rear accident from one of the auction sites in the US. and I can't cancel it.
After I clicked on buy now option I got an email from the site that my car is a none drivable. chaiii


I went back to the site and confirmed as that.

I am yet to make full payment though.

Those with experience with buying the non-drivable cars what is your take on this?

What were the issues with these types of cars?

lalasticlala please help your sister for feedback from the experts.


Madam, I hope you are picking loads of information from this thread?
You have completely divided the house on this matter (which is a good thing)......

We hope with all the many points made, we have managed to convince you, but not confuse you on a clear direction to take with this project?

And no, I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging at the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me

If only I was you, I would be able to answer this question effectively....

What is your heart telling you?
What is your brain telling you?
What is your bank account telling you?
What is the general consensus on this thread?
What are close associates telling you?

If you don't wish to pay for it then don't. The worst that would happen is that you would loose the $300 or $400 you deposited initially for the vehicle.
