@Ezecar, expensive is relative my brother. What is important is to compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. The other cars you are comparing with nairaland cars - have you tried to obtain their VIN numbers and run a check on them? I assure you, most of those cars, you will find out, are salvaged, flooded and/or "disused" vehicles in the US. These are what make them cheap - no one will buy them in the US as the government will not allow them on the road in their condition. Most dealers on nairaland are honest and transparent particularly with VIN number. I will rather settle for them than buy a cheap car without knowing its history. |

@Ivvie, I beg to differ with respect to dealers on nairaland. I will want to believe that majority of dealers here are transparent and honest. It's just a few bad eggs that have been giving us problems. However, let me quickly add that they are now beginning to tow the line of honesty and transparency. Also, on the issue of VIN numbers - it is not the VIN per se that we are interested in but the CARFAX report. The VIN is just the information you need in order to obtain this report. We all know that this is not a substitute for due diligence but at least from the get go, you may be able to find out from CARFAX if it is even worth your while inspecting the vehicle. In addition to this, odometer rollback issue can and has been detected just by looking at the CARFAX report so, if you lift VIN number from anywhere and post it here, CARFAX can and will expose it - It happened recently on nairaland where a poster mistakenly posted a wrong VIN number. I will recommend having access to CARFAX report before even taking a look at any vehicle - In order to do this as mentioned earlier, YOU NEED THE VIN NUMBER[color=#000099][/color]. I am sure a lot of nairalanders are beginning to see the advantage of CARFAX particularly in view of the happenings of the last week. I say this with humility and not out of disrespect but diminishing the importance of VIN number at this point, in my opinion will be a bit naive. |

@Ivvie, thanks for your contribution. I do understand your point perfectly. Let me just ask you one question. If you are a dealer that is honest (let's just assume you are a dealer at this point even though you may not be one), and you want to advertise your vehicle on this forum and you know that with VIN number, CARFAX report will show the history of your vehicle and you have nothing to hide, will you or will you not post the VIN number of the vehicle to re-assure buyers in view of what has been happening on this forum recently. Just answer YES or NO and that will be fine. I submit to you that any dealer that is uncomfortable with posting VIN number of his vehicle after all these recent aggravation on the forum most likely has something to hide. |

Ivvie: Now any honest dealer must post all these highlighted above attached with the advert, if you dont attach them, then you're not honest. Simple |

Nairaland is not that bad. There are some cars here that are not to expensive i remember one Avensis that was sold for about N1.7mill last month plus check the toyota camry that was sold by jenju for N2.7. Just look and you will find good deals plus you can always negotiate. |

Sometimes, if a dealer is planning to sell cars to Nigerians, and he knows most of them have no use for the VIN(no way to check carfax) he may just decide to post pics and ask them to come take a look. Most used cars are bought from roadside dealers. If you know nothing about used cars; 1, you look startup and pay. 2, If you know a little you 1+ get a mechanic to inspect it. 3, If you are good with used cars you 1+2 take a test driver going through the gears,brakes, fluid color, listen for unusual sound and leaks. A car might be salvaged, but if the repair/rebuild was good, a buyer should have no problem. When a buyer picks a car online and prepays, he should not complain of what he/she gets, but if a Naija dealer gets a down payment and brings in a salvage without prior knowledge of buyer, now that is a problem. It is the resposibility of a buyer to know what he/she is buying and the seller to give all the information available, otherwise state he does not know. You will notice on ebay dealers say the car starts and engine runs or not only so buyer should know what to expect or decide to go ahead with purchase. |
