Someone Help (car Issues) by hesilo(m): 1:09pm On Nov 18, 2019
I am so angry right now but i just want you opinion before i would do the unthinkable.

My younger brother saved up 2million naira to buy a car Corolla X(2007), truth is that he did not tell me before he made the decision of sending someone to lagos to buy the car, however he said he build trust because the guys (buyer) is a colleague and he bought a corolla 2010 for a colleague reason he gave him the money.

Reaching to Lagos according to him, he said he called the said man severally and it was difficult for him to pick his calls, when he does pick, he would say that there is no network or that he is charging his phone. Ok...send pictures of the cars you have seen he didn't. We tried even by video calling him, he never answered any of the video calls. The 3 cars he sent the pictures where by the roadside, this is someone that has 2million naira with him o. We espected to see him take pictures around car dealerships.

To cut the whole story short, the man came back with one of the pictures of the cars he sent only one picture of after several pleas for him to send more of the pictures so as to ascertain wether to make decision or not(picture attached). Findings after the car touched down PH on sunday were as follows;

1. The car is a badly repainted one. Whoever did the repainting did a terrible job that even other parts of the car had spill over paints on them
2. The driver's window does not wind smoothly, it drags itself up/down.
3. The car has an unclean interior, like a car that just left mechanic, nothing so neat about it
4. Dash board is so nothing to write home about, so scratched and old
5. Opened the bonnet and found sprayed paints on eventally every other parts of the components there.
6. The car did not come with alloy wheels for a car of 2million naira
7. The car does not have a spare key for a car of that amount.
8. The central lock does not work. you have to come down and lock all the does one after the other for a new car.
9. He claims the car is direct tokumbo(which we actually wanted) but that very one looks not it and disgusting
10. The engine has a sharp whistle as you drive which increases and decreases as it revs up/down
11. There is this noisy sound from the hubs which you can hear as you drive, which he's saying you can change hub that it is not a problem, for a new car of 2million naira, someone is changing hub again.

After all this discovery at test run, we gave him back the car for him to resell and give us back our money as we are rejecting and have nothing to do with that car or he brings us another car.

My question is how do i know if the car has been registered in this country before, cos i suspected the car is a nigerian used car as the smell of foregin something doesn't even attack you as you open the doors.

I am so angry now, i might render some children fatherless. People are so mean in this country.

NB: He was given accormodation money, 50k for the movement, feeding money for 2days. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

I swear to God that car aint' direct tokumbo. It's a thing of changed parts and repaint. I am so mad at my brother that he did not involve me at this until it was this late. But i might send that dude to his early grave tho.

Hello Sir

Apologies for the unpleasant experience.

Send us the vehicle VIN, a comprehensive history report would be an important place to start.

Oga calm down, it is just a car, your very first one and your brother would buy more after this. It is a first experience which is bad but not the end of the world.

My submission goes thus, a bird(Corolla) in hand is worth 12 in the bush. Check to confirm if the vehicle isn't stolen, if it isn't thank your stars fix the car and sell at a loss and learn your lesson or

fix the car and use it for sometime and see the outcome

As for the friend who stab you at the back

if you are a Muslim, 3 consecutive fast and midnight prayer is all you need to pay him back

if you are Christian night vigil is what you need to pay him back

if you are a traditionalist just read his chapter to "aye lala"

if you are an atheists leave it to karma.

It's not directly me but i get mad thinking about it cos the person in question is my Lil bro. When i bought mine i walked in a dealership and bought, why he never told me is still a wonder to me up till this minute angry

Sorry for the terrible experience.

You should not have rejected or returned the car as am afraid you may not see that car again or the money. You should have encouraged him to count his losses save up and try again.

My neighbor did that and he never got a dime thereafter.

Kill him over a Toyota that robbers love to vandalise? And you are over pained about the transaction. Your brother confided in someone else when he knew you were there. Collect the car and count your loses. I once helped someone buy a 2012 range rover sport and his boys confused the man not to buy after he had paid for it. He called me and said he does not want it again and I should go and sell it and give him his 12m. With SARS involved, I collected the car and put a special number and started using the car in Lagos. After 6 months, SARS called begging me to return the car and that the man has finally agreed to pick up the car. Collect the car and move on.
