Better

I saw a car at a good price on their website and I contacted them via the link provided in the advert, also left my phone number on the 'contact me' box. Their representative called afterwards and requested for my WhatsApp number which I sent him hoping he would send additional pictures and relevant details as requested but instead, he sent a message telling me that I would need to make a 10% refundable deposit before I'd be allowed to come for inspection. I became suspicious, wondered if it was a scammer trying to play smart. Wasn't comfortable with making deposit for a vehicle that I am yet to see even though he assured me that the money is refundable so I decided to look up the company (Car45) and that search eventually brought me here. Not really comfortable with what I'm reading here so I'll simply pass.

Then they should sell at ' junk figures'....... Why attempt to sell junk at showroom prices?.....

....Because they have a showroom.


I am really fascinated with the brouhaha this thread has generated.

Cars45 is a business set up to maximise profits.
The main advantage they have us that you can get cash almost immediately when hard pressed to fulfill an obligation.

I myself have go e there trying to sell a car. My experience was terrible. I however did a little research and found out that they are not doing anything wrong legally. Their moral ranking could be quite low but then they are operating within the confines of the law.

We are even lucky that they don't charge us before assessing the car. In other climes they would actually charge for registering you as a vendor, appraising the car before paying for the car. And believe me, even with this they would still thrive.

What we should look forward to is that one very discontented customer will forge a partnership that will compete with these guys and give them a run for their money. But no one seems to think in that direction. Pls note that they have funding to even expand further and my eventually become the biggest 'go to' car merchants in Naija.

But in other climes, consumer protection is legally backed and enforced.........

This thread serves as a warning call to prospective buyers....... If you read and still buy from them, you have no right to complain afterwards........

Test driving is an important part of buying a second hand vehicle............

Bros! I understand you clearly. I am appraising this matter from a strictly legalistic standpoint. These guys cannot be faulted legally.

In their showroom caveats are clearly posted to warn you off but majority of us don't see that or prefer not to look at those posters.

Many people have benefitted from this same set-up. Many people in desperate need for cash within 24 hours are better off with this model. The truth is that you are never forced to part with your car. An assessment (no matter how biased) is carried out, the results are presented to you, a bidding (supposedly independent) is done and then a price is presented to you as the value of the car.

Either of two choices stare at you clearly.

1. Take a walk.

2. Deal ( and let the tears flow later).

Whichever option you choose the guys will continue in business.

Finally, I may not like their model, but I can live with it since it doesn't give them a gun or a knife.

They provide employment, provide in one for their varied and many franchisees, pay taxes and grow our GDP ultimately not to talk of the benefits they bring to desperate Asset Strippers (car sellers) in terms of their instant cash provision.

Well done for your legal analysis. This thread is being fuelled by those who were dislodged by the arrival of cars 45. The opposition to this idea has waned but we should encourage them not to buy junk 9ja used cars.

Cars45. Hmmmn

Spill it brother

So from 1.6 to 650...oh boy

Good day,

We are creating a group for Lagos based Fleet Managers on the Telegram app. The purpose of the group is basically to leverage on each other's resources; like knowledge of the business, contacts of good mechanics and body shops, help each other with driver recruitment needs (rental or HP), car sale deals. etc but most importantly promote improvement, fairness, and share ideas...

By this act, we are multiplying our strengths so much so that even a newcomer in business won't have trouble starting because its a forum where he or she can ask questions...There is always an advantage in teamwork over working alone or in a smaller team. so if you are interested, chat me up on telegram so I can add you..

07020656762

have a great day

ps, the group is on the telegram app, if you don't have it you can download.

Cars45 is extremely dubious. People need to understand that the company is not really there to 'help' people sell their cars. They will tell you all the reasons why your car is a scrap and why you should be ready to settle for less but I don't blame them, they are here to make money like everyone so everyone should be guided. Cars45 is not an angel, they are here to make money and they will squeeze every dime from you as much as possible.

I took a car for inspection in their office and I was disappointed. I was just nodding at everything the guy was saying and acted like a novice. Made up my mind to not drop the car, no matter what. They said the best price I could get for a clean 2003 Pontiac Vibe was 500k and even with that, I should be lucky. I left there and put the car on Jiji and buyers flooded in with their mechanics for thorough inspection and I finally sold it for 1M.
