Those people can lie

I agree with Op.

but for those esp with painting/flashin....we know how nigerian roads are..no matter how careful one is..u almost cannot avoid ur bumper(atleast) being bashed or scratched by something(keke, bike, drunk driver, etc)...so duyu expect the owner to leave it like that? will u buy it at value price if u see it like that?...
so what duyu expect seller to do ?? He gotta fix it.

i know there are insincerities...but expect owners'sellers to fix a bashed body part - which include filling and repainting.

Major thing to look out for is chassis deformation (strong accident)

If you can avoid buying cars from these roadside car dealers please do

This table op is shaking

Your number 1 is tops the list, I had fallen victim once, women are worst car users, it's better to by a car used for 10years by a man than but one used for 6 months by a women

Lmao

😅

What I noticed to avoid is

A car that is put up for sale as premium the seat shouldn't be covered or done by ofostry. It's a red flag.

The dashboard shouldn't be covered either or done by ofostry.

The smell from the interior should still has a trace of tokunbo.

There is one area that never lied in a car that has been over used
.
The doors handle both in and out.
The glass rollers button.
The gear handle and button.
The steering handle.
The brake and gas pendel rubber pad faded out or file from one angle. To the extent the iron will chop out as well.

Oga, so you expect a car that has been driven for 1year to have foreign smell inside??


Better go buy the foreign used and save yourself from unnecessary hassle...

Everything is not a lie sometimes it's u that is paranoid.

kekakuz:
Some of the 3 phrases car dealers use to deceive prospective buyers

1. Na woman use am.
Bro na wash. I have fallen for this trick once and I will never fall again.it is believed that women don't use cars rough or women drive delicately so the car must still be in a good shape. That is a lie. Women are the worse car user and I say this with no apology. They don't pay attention to dashboard warnings, they don't check their fluids and this often lead to a damaged engine or a burnt gasket. If you see a car used by a woman for a long time, just check if the engine has been opened. My claims here are backed by my experience.

2. Direct Belgium standard.
Another Big lie here .once you have serviced your car with Nigerian oil,never call that car Direct Belgium standard. Driving your car on Nigerian road for 6 months is equal to driving it abroad for 3 years. Don't fall for this trick. Ensure you check well.

3. AC just needs gas toping/Small leakage.
Just be ready to buy compressor and condenser. All those lies are not necessary.some dealers also Intentionally tamper with the AC to hide an ailing engine. They know you will see how bad the engine is when you run the AC.

4.Distress sale.

If you want to sell your car on distress, you take it to Ladipo or apo and sell immediately at half the worth. Why would you tell me a distress sale Corolla is going for 2.5Million. bro how much be new one .

5.Japa sales
Just like distress sales,if you want to sell because of japa please take your car to a car stand. They will buy it sharp sharp.

6. The owner wants to see the alert before releasing the original Papers.
You don buy Gbese. either the custom papers are fake or it does not have at all . Some dealers will even show you electronic copies but it's all a strategy.

Add yours

7) Are you buying?
Someone else wants to buy this car sharp sharp oh.

Omo...no need...na to just buy from afialink on facebook.

It’s really a pit what I read here , some people think it’s brand new car they are buying.

nymphomaniac:
AC chilling like Moscow

Are you related to Putin? To be honest I got benz for under a million from someone who needed money so urgently and the car was very smooth

nymphomaniac:
AC chilling like Moscow

The correct phrase rather is "AC mortuary standard".

1) used briefly for 6months .
2) the custom paper is with the owner.
3) the ac is working perfect.
4) it was when they removed it from the Container it had accident.
5) the car no come with spare tyre

Olasyke:
1. Every car on nairaland is six months used.
