For someone to pay over 50% and asked that I follow him to collect the balance, it will be a waste of time to follow him, collect the balance, come back to the office to bring the documents and take it back to him

Import your car yourself for stories like this. I cannot buy a car used for kidnapping or robbery and I will be arrested. This is the main reason I cannot buy car in Nigeria. No matter how expensive it is to import a used car, that the route I will always take.

If you buy from a reputable car stand, which is registered and incorporated, then you dont hbe any fear to entertain because if there is any issue, you can always go back there

How bout you tell us about all the times you've sold bad cars and accidented cars as tokunbo.

Tokunbo means foreign used cars that have come from ashore, some can have a faulty engines some are accidented but later repaired. So far it has a car has not been used in Nigeria before it is a tokunbo car

It cant be his fault for selling bad cars or accidented cars

My own happens last week, there was this particular dealer who posted his car here in nairaland for sale, so it happened that I have a buyer for the vehicle, I call him and we agreed that he would settle me from the 100k that he tops on the deal.


Not knowing that the owner of the vehicle gave him the vehicle to sale for 1.2m, this guy told me that the owner needs 1.6 +100k for sellers that's 1.7M.


I have to contact my buyer all the way from oyo to buy the vehicle.

After seeing the vehicle, he later paid 1.710m to the guy acc.

This guy gave the owner of the car 1m.
Claiming that his pastor brother that paid for the vehicle, since the owner is also a pastor. He accepted the money 1m.

This guy took 710k to his pocket.

Few hours later, he call me that my buyer has paid for the vehicle ooo that I s forward him my account number. Immediately I forward this guy my account details. This guy blocked all my contacts including in whatsapp where we negotiate every.

I was like going mad.

I have to call him with another number, this was asking me, (guy are you the one that sold the car, what was your efforts, you only help me in br buyer and nothing else. So please stop bothering me) I was shock seeing such write up from human being.



Please how can I track this guy, he just posted another vehicle for sale on his page.

I sold goods worth N1.7million to a customer that said he will pay N2.7million and that he will provide another account to refund balance of N1million. Next thing he came with a truck by 1pm and wanted to leave by 5pm without any transfer or cash payment. I refused to allow him go so by 6.30pm he asked me to come pick up the cash. Maybe he thought I will take the cash home, I picked up the cash drove to my friends bank and kept the money in their care. I wonder what game the man was trying to play.

True.
But regretfully, that's the right thing to do, even if a dime was involved.

Tell him to forget about the past And that you have another buyer. Let someone call him and pose as buyer. Tell him to pay 50% of your commission in advance. Once he pays block him at least you have recovered half .

he can hardly be tracked Sir. Such criminals don't use their true identities for transactions and I can bet you; he must have sold the car to recoup the CASH payment he made plus extra profits. Such a sad experience @TPound


To start with,you don't sound like a real business man to me to more of a car dealer,you sold a vehicle whose value you haven't been paid fully and you issued a receipt,gave the original documents and even released the vehicle.


secondly
If you are ready to spend a little cash you would have retrieve that car,the VIN nbere is all you needed to track the registration details and with the help of police you would have picked whoever is the owner up and if he had sold it,he would have been picked.

Car dealing is not a bed of roses.

You see car dealers most times looking fly, and you'd think their lives are a joy forever. But if they tell you how difficult it is to make a sale with a decent profit, you'd be worried.

Before anyone buys a car, he already knows the general price of the car.

He will Google prices, ask his colleagues, ask his family, asks his friends and even his enemies alike.

You can only make a decent profit when you sell a very luxury car that's scarce.

To get clients, after you make it online, you should socialize alot too. Telling prospective buyers about your business, whether male or female. Only a funnel filled with prospective buyers can guarantee you regular sales.

Someone once made me buy a utility vehicle when we encountered ourselves, driving through a deep flood in my estate.

He yelled, madam you need a Jeep for this road. Come and trade in your car with us. And I followed up.

Set him up with another person as a potential buyer, go with one or two other guys to meet him personally! I hate dealers like this, they give us a bad name! He is just too greedy! If you can contact the owner of the car too, let him know he was cheated!
