brother, Gazuzz has proven himself more than a friend to me severally, at this point he is more like a brother. . ... and so many other people out there feel the same way..... it's a pity he's got only so much love to go around and some people might not receive it!

but I tell u that if he sways extremely to the south.... I'd tell him..... it's as it is......

that being said....prove him wrong with intelligence and not emotions......
it's that simple. .....

don't be a drama queen Bro....

he opened a thread, so what? is he the first to talk about Canadian vehicles....should I quote mine?

so what about him is different?
the timing? or the everlasting hate u have for him?
.stop hating bro, we already have a lot of bad things in Nigeria so no need to add unnecessary wars to the list.....

truthfully if u and ur guys had come here with facts proofs and sources to argue intelligently don't you think we'd have had a better environment in terms of productivity?

I totally agree....
it must return to its original form same way everything dies (science will fix this issue soon)

just that some conditions might accelerate the death in some organisms.....
as for me and my household.....
as long as there is transparency, anyone should be allowed to buy whatever he/she is buying...

rust oh, rolled back mileage, Indians, Mexicans, South Africans etc the buyer should be informed.

There is a Service Management model that can use this case as an ideal scenario.

RACI
in offering service - in this case - facilitating a sale between two parties, someone needs to be

Responsible for the sale: In this case it is the mediator that is totally responsible to make sure the sale is perfected Ie terms and agreements must be strategic and favour both parties.

Accountable for the sale: so many people are to be held accountable for this sale at the different phases in the sale.... the trucking company, the shipping company, the clearing agent, the buyer, the seller etc

Consulted about the purchase: especially if the buyer(end user) of the product is not an expert in such matters.

Informed about the sale: In this case, the buyer(end user) is responsible for being informed. If he chooses not to be informed about the specification (brand, model, cylinder configurations, gasoline or diesel, functional in desired area of usage etc) then its totally his fault if it doesn't meet his utility needs.


in many cases, the buyer and seller fill in these positions.

also in terms of comparison as regards this thread....
A rusted vehicle can be many times better than a clean title vehicle vehicle that was badly maintained.....

as for the pricing, I'm not a car dealer but those who are authorities in that field can assist us with intelligent arguments not seeing it as a war and siding one person or the other

Now this is very FACT based and logical.

yes BRO an eye for an eye....
stop being overly dramatic joor.....

like I said intelligent arguments.....
my statement is as neutral as can be....
time unravels everything.....
so if the vehicles are as good as portrayed it should be able to allay all fears .......

and BTW FYI I recommended someone who is actually viewing this thread to your saviour.....
he has asked me this morning if he should still go ahead... and I told him to check my RACI post here....

when the time is right he will speak....
talk about pulling another man down when.....
you should be wary so u don't become the demon you think u are fighting.......

be objective about such things don't put too much emotion into stuff.....
From a perspective I STILL THINK THE TIMING IS OFF....

but from another, if you were to ask urself.... is there a good time to speak the truth (as measured and predicted by one's self)

ask ur self that question and answer urself in an unbiased way....
if you were to have a brother that wants to marry a known and still active olosho and u got to know after engagement.... would u go ahead to inform him or pause because the timing is wrong?

intelligent post BRO, intelligent posts.....
disprove the op.... it's that simple and yes.....

only time will prove people's love for Canada.....
I don't like posting my conversations online but I'm tempted to cos I actually referred at least 2 people to ur guy, one has already contacted him....

and I recommended solely based on their reference for more affordable (cheap) toks vehicles

Diportivo that you always call to post nonsense on peoples threads also has an alternate moniker which has been exposed

Re: Why Are Canadian Used Cars Cheaper Than American Used Cars? by Gazuzz(m): 8:54am On Aug 29, 2019
This vehicle is not Canadian, but the seller confidently sent me the foreign pics and told me it was accident free, I was to buy it at 1.2m

Gazuzz:
There is a reason we all shy away from flooded cars, are all flooded cars bad cars NO, the level of flood, the type of vehicle and the type of water (salt/fresh) is what determines if a vehicle should be considered for purchase and yes there are good cars that have been flooded out there, I sold one this year which was in much better condition than cars that were not flooded.

Are all vehicles from Canada rusted NO some have superficial rust while some are not rusted at all , but there are those that are rust buckets covered in a coat of paint especially the 10/15 year old cars.

First I am a mechanic before being a Cardealer, i sell more cars on WhatsApp and behind the scenes than most of you can imagine, sadly I see a lot of rusted cars on a weekly basis. Someone said and I quote I rather buy a car with a knocked engine than a rusted vehicle. This statement holds true in a lot of cases, you can replace the drivetrain of a vehicle but never it's body, more than once I have bought vehicles with really sharp bodies and interiors but with either a bad engine or transmission, those are replaceable parts and vehicle becomes while again.

In Dec/Jan I got a supply from a nl I have never met for 30 vehicles of the same brand and make to be supplied within a 3week window *I came across a lot of Canadian cars that were much cheaper, there was 1 of them that had a thick tar undercoat to save the vehicle from underbody rust the tar coat will protect the frame but not the individual suspension parts.*

Are all same and 1 individual, your posts are noted.


I will continue to provide more info on cars and vehicles even if I have to step on toes.

The car sale market is too large to be in competition with any one, still waiting for a client to say I sold him or her a defective vehicle.

As per the timing of this thread, it cannot come at a better time when people are make decisions about cheap deals from a particular region, they will now ask the right questions and request proper feedback, the disadvantage of buying a car from a different country is that when it lands it cannot be returned if you are dissatisfied with what you see.

Someone said there are rusted cars from USA and Europe, yes there are, any region with a lot of snow and salt will have same results.


Because of client confidentiality *I will be unable to post the pics of some cars of clients that are from icy regions* , but what I can tell you is it is more expensive to repair when repairs are needed, jobs that should take 15mins would take the entire day to cut out parts.

I have sent this thread to most of them to share their experiences.

I am sure many of you did not know there where vehicles that are not prone to rusting, well that's the beauty of research and that's why we should take out a little time to research before investing .

I am glad the thread is trending and getting the required views.


The onus now lies on the seller to say this vehicle is from Canada/America/Europe and it is rust free or semi rusted and show proof.

Let us argue technically and not with insults if my view is different from yours, backup your claim with technical data and not emotions. At the end of the day like Somone pointed our some of these cars will find their way to my workshop and I might just be unable to fix them.


The thread continues with more aspects of dealing with rust AFTER Purchase .

This sounds quite educating. However I have a few observations .

I have followed the other Canada car seller thread and as well as this particular thread. Someone mentioned you for the first time on the thread, those defending the Canada guy mentioned that "the bad guys" are already calling their "god".

Your first comment on that thread was disputing that you are not a "god" and that you are going to make a car request from the op just to see how things turn out. Then your next comment was to quote one of the posted cars, I think a Toyota Camry, asking if it is still available. This happened about two weeks or three ago

My question is, are you aware of all the things you posted about cars from icy region, the several cheap Canadian cars you claimed you saw, the tar covered cars you mention in this post and still said you wanted to make a car request from the Canada guy to see how things go in your first or second post in that thread?

Very childish of you and i will like to believe you are above 30, well age is just a number it can never match up to the quality / quantity of sense needed from a human being.
When you quote me on the other thread after i point out the fact why Deepwater was always attacking your Oga, i was surprised i was the one you caution and not the person that came in with bad blood. But now i understand that you are either on his payroll or you just want to be in his good book so he can provide lesser price service for him. Too bad when we are eating in someone's plate we find it hard to correct them.
Your statement about next 5years is exactly how you are brought up in your family, have seen your type of household that always feel other people can never achieve a certain height.

Your payroll master keep undermining an individual just because he's stealing all the attention that nairaland is giving his sorry ass, now he's scared and trying to stay relevant i'm certain he's troubled in real life and facing a hard time raising his home no wonder he kept begging his fellow whatsapp slowpoke to come defend him.

About you, this will be my last mention to you. Because my yoruba people will say - "ibi ti o ba ye ki ati ba ogbon" if it's the other way round then you have to leave.
You are reacting emotionally and not logically.
With this reminder,if you were to buy a car from Canada,I know you'll vigorously screen for rust but b/c you have a preconceived notion of beef abt this OP, you want to disparage him and downplay such vital info.
Is it better for ppl to run from the frying pan of severely accidented/ salvaged cars and fall into the fire of rust,though nobody has said all Canadian cars are rusted?
It is a win win situation for buyers from nairaland anyway you look at it.
FYI,I live in Abj,my trade is very far from d auto industry ,don't know this OP, only exchanged few lines on WhatsApp about US spec Mobil oil wt him abt 2 yes ago.
just a car enthusiast.
Peace be unto you.

excellent observation. As a mechanic I would have requested for sensitive information before making payment. As said earlier on page 1 of this post, not all Canadian cars are rusted if vehicle had passed my visual inspection I would have paid, I will still buy a car that catches my fancy on that thread, and as a business man who invests I will resell.

baba gee, the truth is that 90percent of these guys ranting upandan are very much aware of the essence of ur thread but the hate they have for u far outweights their love to share knowledge......

they hate u so much it hurts.... many of them will still call u on phone this week to inquire about cars
....


many of them will still carry their US / Canada rusted vehicles for u to repair......

they are not oblivious of reality but fantasy is their solace and consolation for what they think. u did to them.

it's quite unfortunate....

Back in the days I remember something similar about the following moderators who were once in your position.

Chelseabmw
Lomomike

And 2 others in other sections, some as far back as 2009

Ultimately they were relieved of duty in part because they were found to be biased in the discharge of their duties. Back then Seun was very hands-on in his approach

My point is,

I get your point about civility, but don't forget that the only thing constant in life is change

Just nigerian politics should show you that power is very transient and fickle

Bros,these men are like witches in these car issues oo.
1,they know d right questions, pictures etc to ask for and they also know telltale signs to look out for.
Na for 1 of him old thread I learn say if you are buying an engine and see rust signs around d bolts and nuts in d engine then it might've come from a flooded car,apart from other small small tricks like looking for a VIN tag on d engine and running a search cos d damned engine could've knocked or overheated in its donor car.
Abi you know say ppl clear error codes in cars and advertise,showing d instrument cluster as error free while engine has a major error which will manifest after you've driven for certain long miles and probably already paid?
If na that one,comot hand for them for am,though that's cos it's their field.
Of course they would be complete novices in your own field.
