@FHEMMMY, Mr. cooljade is in nigeria. are carfax reports available in the auction venues? do carfax reports indicate a flooded car? you didn't respond on my question about the cost of shipping put by aes shipping.

The cost by AES is good.
If you are in Nigeria, you could talk to some people that cld check for you.
Carfax report tell you a lot

So tell me, do you know me from somewhere?

fhemmmy, thanks. i know you on nairaland, had some tough arguments with you on some issues. we ended up on the same page of thoughts though (after your stubbornness calmed down).

but how do i contact a person for the carfax when i'm in the auction. i'm in maryland now and would return to nigeria just b4 xmas

Oh ok, now i get your drift.
At the Auction, there is nothing much u could do . . . . it is "as is buy"

Now i remember you, the stuborn woman.

Fhemmmy the Auction I went to does not allow the public to test drive it. The mileage is taking a look at the Odometer which might be rolled back it is any ones guess, and it is hard to do a car fax when the pubic is not allowed to preview the cars and checkout the VIN before the auction. How does one buy from such an auction? Needless to say I did not buy anything.

Most auctions should allow a preview on the day before the actual auction day. That is the day that they will let you test drive and hear the car run. NOT ON AUCTION DAY! cos everywhere is too busy.

You need to go before the real auction date, hear the car run and get the VIN. You can then find out from the VIN by asking the people here on the site.

Good luck.!

Thanks Kunle, I will find out the preview dates first.

i know it's funny, but how do i know preview dates and auction venues near rockville, maryland or it's environs.

pls also advice what the difference is btw a public auction and a dealer auction.

does anyone know of a dealer i can work with to assist in purchasing the car at an auction?

thanks friends

Anyone know of any affordable shipping company from California to Tin Can via Ro Ro? If you know post their name I will like to call them for Estimate and compare them to those in the Mid West and East Coast of the USA. Those in Cali always have to go  East in order to buy Auto due to shipping cost is higher from Cali cos of distance to the Port for 9ja shipments.

Thanks.

They don't do roro in Cal. What you get is consolidation; that's ur vehicle is loaded on a container with others and you may end up paying unnecessary charges. Best option, get ur vehicle to Florida, New Jersey, Maryland where such happens.
I'm a licence dealer residing in Toronto, Canada and i do a lot of US market; the two countries have a Nafta deal and in specific to trade there's hardly any restriction. Examples of such auto market are: Mannheim, Copart, AAA and the lists goes on.
Most of the items you buy on the auction ground are as is, where is. The only exception are vehicle on green marks - they are guaranteed cars and more expensive.
You may call: 1 416 939 1886 or email kolaotedola@hotmail.com or kolaotedola@yahoo.ca

@Coolaje:
You need to ask for the clearing costs for the 2009 benz first; it may end up costing you more than you expected. Most clearing agent do not know that this benz is a van, u need to mention it to the shipping agent in NJ, the one on frelinghuysen Ave, to describe it as a van on the BOL. Better, to avoid drama in 9ja, buy one more truck and ship on a container.
ACL is very good on container and very fast, too. They have their own terminal, PTML, in Lagos. It's usually 17 days to Lagos from the day of sailing. RORO? that another thing entirely. Many factors accounts for the delay and for u to be sure u get what u need on time when u need it use a container on ACL.

Thanks @IB612,

It has definitely bee tough to find Ro Ro in Cali that is why most of us look for somebody to buy for us in the East Coast.

Thanks for confirming.
