INTROVERT:

Na me get am; you want rent am?

MsDelilah:
Madam, let's assume I have a brother. I'm sure he won't be stupid enough to pay FULLY for a car he hasn't seen and inspected.

You just said these are hard times. Then OBVIOUSLY, one should think properly before throwing money away in the name of trust.

I'm stone hearted? I'm just being realistic!

You can't blame him for that totally. It's a thing of honor for someone to trust you with his money and pay you without seeing you. When you have such level of trust bestowed upon you, it behooves on you that you respect yourself and do what is right. A nairalander who goes by the name Salihu, once paid money in full to me without seeing me. He was based in Minna at that time and works with ibb specialist hospital. His colleagues thought he was crazy but when he came, saw his car and called them to affirm everything was as I told him, they were shocked (considering the bad reputation lagosians have). Life would have been easier if we all could be a little bit more honest and responsible.

I'd just make a few points here. As someone who sells cars for a living, I'd tell you that even amongst us(car dealers), we also do get scammed by our colleagues. I know it's good to trust people sometimes but since people change, it's just adviceable that anyone going to buy a car, should pls inspect personally, or have a representative do that. After that you can't come and say you were scammed. As a dealer myself, I've been scammed by dealers within and outside the country, and I've learnt my own lessons too. Know this for a fact : there are lots of yahoo boys dealers in town and for them, it's cash first, before any other thing. I'm not saying this particular seller is one, I'm just advicing people generally.

Secondly, the issue of middlemen has to be addressed properly. It shouldn't be used in a derogatory manner. A contractor who collects a supply contract, is a middleman in that transaction. As a dealer, no matter how much you are worth, you can never have all the vehicles your clients want and as such, you'd have to reach out to your colleagues to source for the ones you don't have,except you want to claim that you don't sell to clients who request for cars you don't have. Anybody who rants about not being a middleman, is either telling a lie, or one of those egocentric folks who you can't talk to. I as a person, sell cars for myself, my friends, colleagues and clients and I use whatever medium I choose to, in marketing. 90% of the time, the owners are the ones who bring the cars to me, or call me up to come check them out. You don't expect me to turn the offer down just because I don't want to be a middleman in the chain of the transaction. That's just unnecessary arrogance and stupid pride that takes one nowhere. If a car isn't directly mine, it automatically means I'm a middleman on that transaction and I don't see what the big deal about that is. What you should be bothered about, is if the dealer in question, has a physical office address where he or she can be contacted.

I've had dealers offer me cars they claimed were perfect, only for me to get there and find out that they are cars I wouldn't even accept as a gift for free, not to talk of selling to a client. The reason for this sometimes, is that some people have weird standards of assessment and think a car is OK, just cos it starts and moves. What this means is that, people have different standards and the best way to get what meets up with your taste, is to go see what you're buying personally.

Take for example just few days back, I met someone who had a particular car for sale. I met her while searching for a particular car for a client. She made me understand that she had the car but when I checked, it wasn't the standard I would have loved, because it was accidented and the job done wasn't too neat, for a 2012 SUV. But she offered to collect a very reduced price for it so the car can go. Another dealer sent someone to me and the first thing I asked him was "did he tell you the car is accidented"? He said no. I clarified that with him and told him to come inspect the car. He saw it and didn't like it based on his own taste. But there are people who would jump on the offer for the price it's going for. Where else would you see a 2012 tokunbo 4runner with 33k miles for around 6.2m? Current market value is close to 10m...

In the final analysis, I'd advice that anybody wanting to buy a car, should pls go and inspect physically before paying. Once your money is out, it's never easy to collect it back. Secondly, if a car is too cheap, know that the possibility of having issues is high. Do your market survey and compare prices. If you're buying a Nigerian used 07 Camry for around 1.5m now or less, know you're most likely going to buy rubbish or a below standard car. Thirdly, dealers should quit advertising all manner of junk vehicles for sale and if you must sell such, let the buyer know the faults with the car.

I hope cityhood and the buyer would reach a reasonable conclusion on this transaction.

Happy New Year in advance to you all.

Mimi56:
Ok,thanks...but how did you do that?? You view all profiles? That was quick!!!

No. Your comment made me look at your dp

Mimi56:
These women run mad over husband matters...SMH!!!

I could bet she was one the main chick's in his neighborhood, before she had him 13 children.

I keep saying it,never stop LOOKING GOOD,no matter your marital status...though,it doesn't stop a hoe from cheating,but it keeps you on the saver side. **can't deal with this**

You look good with a nice physique. Pls, don't allow yourself to look like this Kenyan lady, for any reason.

yinkslinks:
Kenyan women too Wowo abeg. Each time I visit, I use sun glasses.

Lmfao

ireneony:
No wonder the man cheated

You took that out of my mouth; get out of my head now... Lol. God knows my d**k won't stand at such a sight. Quite irritating.

Kennie21:
For real,u straffed wit someone engaged?

Errmm, errmm, errmm; mmm. Actually,it was just once and I didn't really know if she was serious with the dude; it was just one of those things and it was a long time ago. I was actually serious you know, but these things sometimes don't pan out the way we want it you know... I honestly don't know how to explain it but we're still friends though. Don't look at me in a bad way;I'm not like that. Besides, she didn't even marry the dude or the next...

Merry Christmas

Izen:
Are they your kids to space?

It's just the most logical thing to do. If you've ever raised kids or assisted in taking care of them, you would understand better.

Lol
Seeing your comment made me realize the age difference

E sure say them go dey fight each other well well.

The two children are age mates. This is wonderful. By the time they grow up and the elder one tries to claim seniority, the younger would remind him/her that the age difference is just 11 months and not up to a year.
But why couldn't they space the kids?
