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.

There are deceitful dealers everywhere, but most of you want to buy cheap cars and you end up buying lemon. Imagine looking for a good corolla for 1.8m. Even as I dealer I don't go for cheap cars when sourcing for cars. When dealers post clean cars at highier price you all complain. Three to 6months corolla at 3m you will see people screaming online.
If you want a car in top shape you must be ready to pay the price.

[quote author=fineboynl post=121402179]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.

My own advice make sure the body is 100% okay i nean it is neat to at least 8/10. Then check for gear issues onces those two are confirmed you are good to go. Engine can’t be more than 250k at most but you won’t have to do body works.

I saw a car I wanted Nigerian Used thou and the was so specific that the engine has been worked on.

The car is neat but am scared why !!

He said no Custom papers and I ask how would five a car without a customer papers ge said if I don't travel no problem.

Please your advice on this.

Note ::: He said custom paper lost.
if the vehicle has been in Nigeria for long, you'd not have issues.
I sent in a brand new car in 2008 and the customs paper has been lost since 2014. I still drive the car whenever I feel like to anywhere I feel like.
