No vex, I'll do that next time. Will keep shoving it in his face to remind him that he's just as 'morally bankrupt' ad those dealers he always accuse

ibinaboonline:
I don't understand why everyone is castigating the seller. He bought a damaged vehicle, repaired it and sold for profit. It's business. The buyer checked it out before buying. The vehicle is working fine. Everyone is happy. Abeg don't go and ruin the man's joy

YOU'RE EVIL MINDED, MAY YOUR OWN CASE BE WORSE THAN BABA'S CASE.

And you with big sense, yet, the big sense hasn't made any difference in your life. Its a pity.

somehow:
Dealer made around d #700k from this alone. Almost enough to buy another car.

Recall that the deal had to fix the car as well considering the extent of damage he probably didn't make much.

Lols. The guy just need attention.

With his analysis, he did not know much about cars .

The car was sold on copart .

Not possible for run and drive 2006 Corolla to be sold $250.

People are given opportunity to place bid on cars before the live bidding.

This particular car should be at the range of $1000 to $1300 buying on copart

Corpart charges is about $380

Towing to port should be around $300 to $380 because the car location was Martinez and the closest port to the location is port of Los Angeles. That’s about 5 to 6 hours trip, Aprox 398mils. And if no roro service and no one to share container with, he wil locate the nearest port which wil attract more charges

Shipping is $850

Lagos clearing 430k naira

Fixing and spraying, approximately 100k naira because he wil buy some parts.


Maxi 1.577m total.

This car market range in Lagos is at the range of 1.7m to 1.9m depending on how clean it is.

If he claimed the man bought it 2.2m , that’s the man’ problem. Did he confirmed from d seller? You don’t just jump into conclusion. The man is more learned and smarter than this poster. The man may bought the car 1.7m, and you don’t expect the man to tell you the actual price. It’s normal Nigerian thing. I delivered 2010 Range Rover sport to PH in 2013 with the total cost of about 9.5m or so, I was enjoying my wine at the client’ office when I heard him telling his colleagues that he bought the car at my car stand in Lagos 14m. I was like oga!! Wetting happened na!!! Lols. It’s normal Nigerian things.

The man is enjoying his car while you hear taking paracetamol on his headache.

I don’t support hiding the car history from potential buyers . I always advise buyers to check the car history so than you can know the worth or how to bargain the price.


My opinion. Please nobody should take it personal.

Regards

The dealer lied, hid the history, told everyone the car has never been touched.

That's the reason for the thread, not the money, he can decide to sell it any amount and not my biz.


Your epistle is highly appreciated sir.

Thanks for you comment sir.

People run to hasty conclusion. Yes the car was badly damaged and I will not even buy for personal use. But why the misleading caption. I tell u honestly that it cost that dealer up to $700 to truck that vehicle from california to texas before shipping. I believe dealer was decieved by the low auction price. Explorer, go back and add the cost of repair. Increase trucking to $700. U will never truck for $200 for that distance. Even from Dallas to Houston is more than 200 since they increase the pump price of gas. Then that auction fee won't be up to $500. I can tell u that car was both a bad sale to the dealer and a bad buy to the buyer. Papa will definitely suffer in the hands of that scrap.

You right sir.

Let me bring to your notice, there lots of people out there buying cars but knows nothing about VIN check or vehicle history.

Got to know last week, imagine people asking me what is VIN, what is the function.

What do you expect sir?

Nobody can play this on you because you're aware, except if you just want to negotiate based on the history.

Over a year now, the old man has been working to own a 2008 Corolla due to the low fuel consumption.

We both talked about the car several times and because of the price, he went for a 2006.

So papa, a boss and also a father brought this Corolla to the office on Monday with dealer claiming papa is very lucky to get a clean title and accident free car like this.

Congratulations sir! congratulations sir!! everywhere(Civil servant na)

Sir, how much did you get it?

He said over 2.2m.


But i noticed that the bumper, headlamps and the grill are kind of not in line(Space between them).


So i shot the vin, the first picture and brought it to one of my thread for assistance(cosplay).

Normal people/business persons/companies have fair return policies. Or you aren't that exposed to know the concept of warranties?

Not all products have "warranties". Things just as these are sold "as is".


I read this thread and I must confess I'm highly disappointed at those who are condemning the seller based on the price of purchase as published, without considering the total cost involved in getting it to that status. That car was wrecked and the dealer must have spent a whole lot to get it to that stage. I mean a whole lot of money, energy and time. We should not forget this is business. The main purpose of engaging in business is to make profit. After careful analysis of the extent of damage on that car, shipping and repair cost, I doubt much if that dealer would have made up to 200k on that car.

Some people are saying he should have told the buyer the true initial status. How do we easily jump into conclusions? Did the buyer bother to ask and he didn't tell him? I can't fault him on that. Where I would have faulted him was if he hid the VIN from prospective buyers. I mean, let's be realistic with ourselves, how many of you people would tell every prospective buyers without them asking how you got the car and the initial terrible condition before you "refurbished" it to the level it now is? How many of you would do that, sentiment aside? The more the car stays in your stalls the lesser the value by the day. You're never obliged to do so unless being asked. You don't do business by advertising the process of arriving at the "end product". However, honesty pays, it's better you give the buyer the VIN for self investigation and examination if they deem it necessary to do so. How many of you that buy London used phone actually bothered to know how badly damage it was before it became refurbished? Same things goes with any "used" stuffs.

The truth is, the clean title of that corolla is very expensive. The minimum you could get is around $ 3k5. That's just the cost price aside other costs. By the time the landing cost is factored in, how many people would agree to buy it.

I got similar one few months back with the intention of fixing and sending to naija, however I had to resell it as Junk after getting the estimate of how much it'd cost me to fix it. I bought it on auction "as is" . Never had time to inspect it and I underestimated the damage level. I could have spent a few thousands to fix it though and still send it home, but I realized it doesn't worth it.

A good, clean car from "overseas" is actually very costly but how many people would buy it without telling you of how someone bought same at a far cheaper amount (and trust me Naijas can argue this well). We are actually fast at condemning others in Nigeria (would have actually done same some years back not until now that I have come to understand things better) without deep understanding of circumstances surrounding those situations.

Exactly my sentiment.
Many people just rushed to comment like it's one of their Bbnaija threads without even the slightest knowledge of what it takes to bid, ship and fix. It's laughable the cost analysis OP even quoted in his opening message. I understand the dealer messed up hyping the car as clean but we should never forget as naija that we are, in order to sell something you'd definitely have to "hype".Truth however is how many people can really afford to buy a non-accidented clean vehicle? How many people would go for a car in Nigeria if they were showed the true initial status? Many would run and even go for a "worse" one that's hidden from them as much as possible. Many of the Tokunbo cars in Nigeria had similar status or worse and many still drive fine till today. But is not meant to encourage fraudulent sales to unsuspecting buyers.

Hmm, so what makes u think many Nigerians can afford clean title Tokunbo either

[quote author=valarinz post=67318931][/quote]

Clean title cars are expensive, we all know. I think that's why salvaged/accidented cars are imported and fixed.

I don't think there's a crime telling my buyer that the car he/she is buying had issues but has been fixed perfectly.

Selling a rolled over car with deployed airbags and telling my buyer that he's buying a clean title or accident free vehicle is the issue here.
