Here are 5 lies I've noticed people that wants to sell their cars especially Nigerian used usually tell just to make you believe the car is in good condition. Feel free to add yours.

1) This car was used by a Lady;
Like bro,, really?? cool Ladies don't ply the same bad roads? Tell another lie bro.

2) You just need to top the gas, that's all;
Like seriously? It's that easy and you didn't top the gas before putting the car up for sale? Hahaha...run for your life buyer.

3) Someone has priced this car a higher amount;
So why u no sell am to the person na grin...if you know you know.

4) This car has no issue, I just need money urgently;

5)) This car can travel the whole Nigeria without issues;
No wahala...shey na kabu kabu u use am dey run before ni grin

Any seller that behave as if I'm disturbing him/her when asking about the car, should just know that I won't buy.

Snapping pictures, as if you are hiding something.

Someone snapped a portion of the engine as 'engine picture' for me, I didn't bother telling him anything. I've moved on.

Like I tell people, most car sellers here, Irrespective of how they present themselves, hype a car, laugh at you that your money no reach.

They can scam you, if they have the chance, All of them, will sell a dead car to you, at a high price, if they have the chance to do it.

Honest car sellers are going into extinction.

Don't believe any of them.

Sir, you should go and learn how to use punctuation marks properly.

Your punctuation and grammatical construction can make a good and honest car become a stolen one...

It's a V6 but you won't know cause it doesn't consume fuel at all.. As if I4 and V6 mpg are both the same. Very poor strategy.

I hate that number 1, cars used by a woman are worst maintained and serviced. They don't check for oil or leakages, their own is to kick and drive as long as the car still respond.

A car used by a banker, if true, is one of the best car to buy.

A banker's car is most likely always idle. Goes to the bank early morning retire home home by evening/night....i hope you get my drift.... If it's true, it can be great, really great.

Another one is of those who work offshore...

I think I'll need more lessons on that... And yes, I know it's not your duty to. So I'm not asking you, if you're not willing.

But for how long? How many years can short runnings bring damaging sludge? I know a banker who has changed his car twice within the last three years.

Another angle sir, buying a good car, is it always about the engine state? I think not!
I won't consciously buy a rough car with brand new engine, never! Especially when the roughness is not savageable.

But I'll gladly buy a very clean car with bad engine. Yes sir, it is what it is!

So sir, I'll stand by my point whilst learning more about short runnings and engine sludge.

Thanks
