Why You Should Never Buy Your Car Secretly by Realacars: 6:27pm On Sep 21, 2015
Based on the promise, we'll try as much as possible to share helpful articles on realacars.com

Fortunately, i didn't suffer that much with my first car but i only know i get comfortable space to sit at my mechanic place, don't ask me the minimum time I've spent before.

Why You Should Never Buy Your Car Secretly, there are lots of reasons we'd like to share with our dear readers on realacars.com but we'll try as much as possible to make this article short so you don't get bored reading.

Maintenance: i don't need to stress this, just read Things You Must Consider Before Buying That Car. https://www.nairaland.com/2614851/things-must-consider-before-buy.
Thank me later.

Scammers/Fake Sellers: this is one of the reason why we created this platform, we want to source Real Available Cars for our readers.
There are lots of scammers out there and they're ready to pounce on their prey without hesitation, they know some people are vulnerable.
Most times, people that fall victim are the silent ones, you see the reason why you should never buy that car secretly because if you discuss with one of two friends they'll share their own idea with you and that can safe you some money.

I could remember sourcing a car for a client in 2014 and the seller told me to pay 13k into a certain bank account number before inspection. I can't be this dumb.

Disgraceful Car Dealers: Shout out to the reputable ones out there, keep doing the good job and if you happen to fall in the other category, your cup will be full one day.

They're aware of your ignorance and they understand how impatient some buyers can be when the cash is available.
Hence, they'll never be honest in any way to you. Some of them can even claim the AC of a car is as chilled as a Deep Freezer... Well done!

That Unkept Mechanic: Be contended with him if he's the closest to your area, if you're that kind of person that doesn't like to involve friends and family in your deals.
Well, you still can't get that your car secretly because chances that you might regret your decision is very high, so if Kazeem, Chinedu or Abubakar is readily available.
Meet and discuss with him, he should be able to give you one or two tips.
After all, he's a mechanic and he most dev have experience than you for a start!

Lastly, Involve closest pal: Involve people you can confide in because you're not buying a toy car that will limit to your room, you're buying a car in reality.

Although, "What people think about you or your car is none of your business but what your 'Pocket' think about you is most definitely your business and your concern".

The people you excluded when you're about buying the car are the same set of people that will be available to assist you. Don't mind the mechanic, he's just doing his job and he'll get paid.

Are you still saving towards your first car, why not Subscribe to our updates and be the first to read our Articles, it'll best guide you when you're about to get one.

This is a mistake I made when buying my present car, a Naija Ghana used 2003 Ford Focus Wagon.

I was moving from a Chevy Suburban that I had used in the US and I did not want people to ask why I'm downgrading from 4X4 to small car. It happened to be the first locally used car I bought and I had no idea of the concept of 'Tropicalization'. A while after I bought the car I took her for a scan and voala.........no thermo, fan relay error, dpfe sensor error: the works. I've managed to fix up the exhaust and thermo errors but nobody seems to know how to fix the botched up fan wiring. (one kazeem even claimed he'd attach it to pulley...like a rwd car!! I ran away sharply grin).

The cars runs pretty good (reaches optimal temp in 3 mins!)--except for the fact I cannot 'sneak' into the house with the noisy fans and the batteries I have to change every 2 years!! angry

the Lesson: NEVER, never buy a car secretly! Nice one OP wink

OP, thou sayest true words.
Verily I say unto you, there remaineth one member of this forum that selleth cars he haveth not and refuseth to refund funds obtained by his cunningly devised fables.

In simple english, be careful of scams and ask the seller why he is selling so as not to buy cars obtained by fraud, robbery or inspired stealing.

[size=14pt] from a dealer's perspective: Most Unkept Mechanic and Close pal always (want to) milk the buyer dry.

These 2 set of people demand for outrageous amount of money to be added to the cost by dealer before they can convince the buyer to buy.

Buyer believe so much in whatever they say and if a dealer didn't dance to their tune, they convince the buyer and take him elsewhere. This is a norm especially in Lagos.
