Hello

It's been six months since I've been away from auto section of nairaland. My last post here was March on another section. I started following events again in auto section just yesterday.

What do you intend to gain from asking vin# and details of vehicles that are displayed here? Let it be clear to you if you don't know that buying clean/ non accident vehicles cost average of 40% more than the salvage titled vehicles. How many Nigerians can afford clean title vehicle? A clean title 2006 Toyota Corolla with 120,000 miles is sold between $4500-$5500. While same vehicle with slight damage and salvage
title is sold for $1900-2500. Do the maths. If you ever go into car business today and start sending clean title vehicles to Nigeria, you are going to cry out of the business. I actually don't think you're doing any service to potential buyers. You're only creating cloud between potential buyers and the sellers. It's the buyers who should be asking questions and not you. Buying salvage vehicles doesn't stop it being road worthy. Scrutinizing every post here is not the way to go. A case where you Google lot number and saw a car with minor dents should not allow you to destroy someone daily bread. I'm a an wholesale dealer in the US too and a shipper and I can tell you 98% of vehicles I ship and Nigerians buy are actually salvage. To buttress Calculus and others claim on some of these vehicles you've argued about, sometime in March a customer asked me about my thought on 2012 Toyota Highlander looking so clean without accident but came with salvage title. I googled the vin and I found the same Highlander was sold at IAA San Diego, repaired and sold again at copart Dallas. The moment I showed the prior accident the guy said wow but still bought it anyway. The vehicle is in Nigeria now. I shipped it. Same scenario with another 2016 Honda Accord I bought for another nairalander. He didn't care and we won it for $9400. Anytime you see a sparkling clean vehicle at copart or IAA, believe me the car already went through repairs.

It's okay to scrutinize badly damaged vehicles when you do your research online and find them but once you see vehicles that are slightly dented, no need trying to make the vehicles as bad as they look. Salvage title doesn't make them bad vehicles as they sound.

Cheers
