Rubbish post!

Post your VIN here let buyers know if they'll be wasting their time with you.

Cosplay:
As I’ve mentioned before, any seller who refuses to make the VIN for advertised vehicles available or insists on a physical inspection to provide the VIN has something to hide. Case study the link I posted above.

Whenever you come across an advert with the vin and/or vehicle relevant history missing and the seller refuses to make it available without a physical inspection, please run far away

For every seller who takes the above advice and insists on not making the vin available for preliminary investigation, there are 10 others who make the vin available because they have nothing to hide.

There is no crime in selling accidented or salvaged vehicles. The issue is when sellers take the above irrational advice and hide the relevant information necessary for interested parties to make informed decisions.

Choose wisely.

OP saidcome with a "trusted" mechanic.
Ohh please!!!!
You guys have perfect d the art of givig kick backs to dese same mechanics, for a falsified result. Even if the pope came to inspect th car as a mechanic, you guys wld find a fantastically corrupt way to compromise his result.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist pointing out the difference between slander and libel. Slander is spoken defamation, libel is written or typed defamation. So I think in this scenario libel would be more appropriate.

Jethrolite:
I know most of you are not actual auto dealers because a real auto dealer will not make that type of error repeatedly.

When you upload your car here for sale, please do not upload VIN. If you have a serious person who wants to buy the car then ask they come see the car physically with their mechanic.

Stop playing into the hands of do gooders here who have no interest in buying your car but only want to destroy your sale and potential commission.

I made the mistake of falling into the trap here too of damaging a car sale and I am sorry for what happened.

If you do not post your VIN online, nobody can destroy your sale with it.

You guys have to wise up and realise even though car marketing can be done online, a serious buyer will always come for physical inspection with their mechanic.

Car buyers and sellers alike should know buying a car is a huge investment even if the car is N100k, that is not chewing gum money. You have to do your due diligence before buying a car, go with a trusted and honest mechanic for physical inspection. As a potential buyer if you can not spare N2k to N10k to give a mechanic to follow you for car inspection then you are like a person giving out loan without signed documents to back the transaction. You will eventually regret not paying the little extra to secure the deal. A case of penny wise, pound foolish.

very wrong my brother if you post a car as accident free it should be accident free ...if there is an issue with it people should know ...I should be be prepared for what I'm going to buy ...don't transfer ur demons to me on the alter of sales and profit ....I do not see anything wrong with it except u have something to hide ....mechanics are also limited in knowledge and most of them cut corners ...

waveskaaya:
your so funny...here in America sellers post vins before selling and your there saying sellers shouldn't post vin.tshew

Alvin007:
I think the problem here isn’t about posting the vin or not...it is about the condemning comments posted, after some ‘non-intending’ buyers with access to vin reports, post after cross checking the vin reports. If a buyer includes a vin number to a vehicle for sale, even if you have full access to vin checks, must you come back to say the vehicle has a ‘salvaged title’?
Why not leave that to a personal convo with the seller(provided you’re a serious buyer).
I believe the seller has been fair enough to have posted the vin. Comments regarding the vin history shouldn’t be posted on the same thread where the car is being advertised.
And for a potential buyer..he can ask a professional for a vin history of the car..if he is interested.
Why do we make things hard for ourselves?

jodecibmw:
That is why here in Nigeria we keep having trust issues, but when we Nigerians go online to purchase vehicles from foreign sites you will have access to the following status of car displayed for the public;
1. Pictures of the current state of the vehicle all round including external, internal, engine bay etc.
2. Title of car whether clean, salvaged, flooded, accidental, repossessed, theft etc.
3. The Vin number will always be displayed.
4. Price, for 'buy-now' vehicles. Unless to be sold by bidding to the highest bidder.
5. List of available car features etc.
What we are talking about is simply FULL DISCLOSURE OF VEHICLE that's all.
I really don't know what is so hard in that, unless of course there's something you wanna hide about the vehicle to make profit.

timifakay:
Once upon a time, there was no need to go for a pre purchase inspection with a mechanic probably no need for test drive, it became necessary due to dealers' various lies about the vehicle state, now that you dealers have become so professional at handling mechanics/ hiding some problems even from them, more stringent measures have to be put in place, and perhaps you still get ahead of the vin, another safety net will be put in place. Current standard now is :
Step 1: VIN check to know what state vehicle arrived Nigeria
Step 2:Physical inspection with trained eye and test drive to know quality of fix.

Since 6th of March? I thought you guys settled your differences long ago Bro. I don't understand why you keep doing this.
