You miraculously edited your post about the Broken C.V axle? And car being towed to a workshop? bro code?

Well in your case the CV axle did not break because the vehicle was removed from the container. It is very common in rusted vehicles for the axles to break due to rust usually around rubber covering.

broke people buying TOKUNBO cars be expecting it to be like NEW CAR grin

I am buying a car from amdman and i am keeping enough money for finishing, pimping and servicing when it has landed.

One of the reasons why I don’t like doing businesses with Nigerians

They don’t remember the good days when things go sour
That it is it ooo, come to the Port and see a lot of cars that won't start meanwhile these are car that were driven to the Port over there, a lot of things can happen while the car is being shipped.

Once you refund someone the pain goes away....

Learnt something new!

Sorry works the same way too I guess!



For a bad car?? A refund will certainly give me joy.

You guys are acting like you don't understand how business works. Any businessman that offers you a full refund on a supposed bad deal should be 'commended.'

You don't easily get such opportunities on Jumia, Konga, and other structured organizations. When you do, be rest assured you're losing more than 30% of your capital.

Other places like Alibaba will offer you a replacement or refund only after many weeks or months.

Reviews are important, whether bad or good so I won't even try to silence the 'complainant.' There are bad reviews everywhere online, from your bank's social media handle to your favourite e-commerce website, and so on. The complainant won't be the last to present a bad review as a matter of fact.

The ability of individual buyers to use their discretion when analyzing these reviews is the most important factor. While some bad reviews about a seller are ill-constructed, others are not.

For someone that calls a seller a fraudster and then refuses to accept a refund, I would say her review is ill-constructed. That's my personal opinion.

I have a brother in Germany not a car dealer but he has experience on cars...
When even I need a car I pay he buys and ship for me without adding a penny and he makes sure he gets the best for me....

The last car he shipped
He told me no issues that he drove the car himself, did all checks before he shipped the Car....
Gbam the car came but refuse to start and it was late thought it was battery we called some battery guys to help with battery etc,
Based on experience ive written my name on the battery when the car could not start the battery guys have to leave but they have changed my battery I just laughed called him back asked him to drop the batteries he has and I checked saw mine and picked it without him saying a word....
Next day mechanic came found out fuel pump was bad
Bought another one fixed it
Gbam fan works and stops
We manage am reach house
Fix the fan gear wasn't shifting well
But it only needed just minor adjustment....

The thing here my bro has bought lots of car that once cleared you can take it to any place in Nigerian right from the port....

These things are machines and can develop fault anytime...
Sometimes you lucky no issues pops up sometimes you fix things....
Na second hand cars no be say na new one....

Why are cars in Canada cheaper compared to cars in Germany my bro could not answer this question..

Well, with respect to the reason why cars in a country may be cheaper when compared to other countries should be as a result of their standards. Some countries phase out cars earlier than others. E.g, Japan may have a policy not to allow cars older than 10 years to be driven in the country while for another country, it may be 15 years. Meaning the scrap value of a 2009 car in Japan will be lesser than the scrap value of the same car in another developed country. Other factors may include the country's revaluation policies.

Oyibo good o. E no be like here whe cars of 1997 still de road

Thanks

Cars are cheaper in different countries because of demand, transportation, tariffs and currency strength.

demand
Mercedes are cheap in Germany but asian cars are expensive, large SUVs are harder to get in Europe, compact cars are not popular in southern USA but they are in India, etc. Volvos are looked down on in Nigeria but incredibly popular in Europe.

Transportation and tariffs
Let's look the US trade war with China. Trump imposed tariffs and car prices went up because the manufacturers passed it on to the consumers. In Nigeria, cars are expensive because of exorbitant import taxes and tariffs.
American cars are cheap at home but status symbols in Europe and Asia

Currency strength
I think this is self explanatory

As for the Canada-Germany question, Canada gets a lot of American cars which are cheap because low transportation and tariffs. Europe also has much stricter emission and safety regulations than Canada and the USA.

We both know that Nigeria suck at maintenance. Discrimination and social status affects what we drive here. Oyibo gave u Android phones. But they still use 3310 and flip phones over there. If u hold a flip phone here, ur friends will call u all sort of names. A well maintained car can be used forever. True. But that's relative.

Choice of words matters alot. People have repeatedly asked her to drop the information on things she spent those money on.

This would enable the Op to tackle the issue from the perspective she was coming from but it has not been done. Also, the filter issue is a dicey situation. I don't think a mechanic would sacrifice a regular job prospect from op over a filter that is worth less than one thousand. He would simply lose on the long run.

As for the battery issue, I have no comment on that. No idea how things works but few intelligent people has also said that it is obtainable to experience such due to the car being idle all this while.

Hope the mechanic she gave the car to is not giving her fictitious bill in the name of changing some parts of the car while in the actual sense, he or she didn't change anything whatsoever.

In summary, Madam should table all the expenses she has done in a logical manner in order to enable people know how things stands


The people who make such sacrifices don't think either...

Who would have thought that Oliverjiad will sacrifice the prospect or possibility of clearing every single car ordered from Amdman to Nigeria, by dubiously trying to extort him on just one container........but he did.

A woman paid for something, didn't like what she got, talked to him via whatsapp, he didn't respond right away, she spooked and is saying stuff............ some fellas here are attacking her.

Trust issues and earning of trust in deals like this is sacred. I know how many "super stories", of people who paid deposits upfront for deals that went sour and were called fools later.

She is upset, she is upset, let them have a chat and resolve it. She herself said she opened up about it when she felt he was acting funny.

It's a simple matter of trust. "Sorry Madam for the unfortunate experience, can we talk about what is going on so I can find out what went wrong.", that alone does it.

But accusing her of blackmail when you haven't even heard fully from her is low...........there are better ways to address issues......

This issue has been overflogged and it would not be good to wake up a dead horse just to exact a punishment.

As regards your statement on bold, sorry to bust your bubble, I have always been objective in my writeup. I never sided with either of them to the best of my knowledge.

Please, try and go through all my comments regarding to this and you would notice that I tried as much as possible to be objective rather than subjective.

@Codyella, you said you worked on the compressor, hope you collected the old one if changed at all. You need to know that before cars are shipped, the AC gas is always removed from compressor. This is mandatory for all cars shipped. Probably kazeem doesn't know this and bad mouthed the original compressor

I won't banter you cos even warriors put their spears down on Sundays. You're just another road side kazeem that specializes in Micra in Ibadan, probably in Molete. I've imported 11 cars between Jan and now and I put it to you again that refrigerants has to and was removed before shipping.
If I tell you HAZMAT products e.g perfumes are also moved by road in USA and not by air, ignoramus like you go still raise dusts.

U talked about a video u sent him showing u r not poor but living large, yet u chose the hard way to save cost. Lol.

Woman, just return back to those who sent u, tell them say u no succeed.

Nansense!


Just shut up....she bought a car..she has every right to state her review...this is her opinion/review based on activities that went with it..she stated her review based on
Emotions and i feel for her....why can you have yours and she can't

She is not here to tarnish amdman...all of you saying she should take the refund because he offered it.. it is kind gesture for him to offer it but again.. she paid and waited months and now had to spend more to fix it... are you people so heartless not to atleast understand her ??

I actually empatize you regarding the car being below your expectations, but at this point I can say you've been saying only half-truths all this while.

You posted a pic of a filter which still proves nothing. I was silent on that because you and amdman were sort of in agreement on that and he said will get back to you on it.

At least substantiate your 100k repairs. Still no.


: The video I sent you shows a mechanic working on the car in my garage. So don't play dumb.

You know what, I'm done. You can say whatever you want but the truth prevails. Thank you for everything.

U get sympathy, na why you dey collect 50k as middleman. I have seen a middleman make 500k on a Benz deal right in my very before.

Thats why i also hate to buy through middlemen. Even if i see a car sales post on Nairaland, i first ask if the nairalander is the direct owner, then i check his past posts, if they are mostly related to car sales, then he is definitely a middleman and i cut out at least 200 - 300k in my negotiations.
