This is the finest 2005 BMW 7series I have ever seen.
This car was ahead of its time. Drove for 7hours in the USA without refueling. I couldn't believe the gas mileage. I want to keep this car but have some other needs. No mechanical issues. No check engine lights. Clean Title.
Let's have the VIN please, Thank you.

The real buffoon here is the liar who got caught in a lie about his advertised merchandise and decided to defend himself by casting aspersions on the reliable sources backing up the facts about the vehicle.

Both CarFax AND AutoCheck are suddenly incorrect because they've determined your vehicle had an incident recorded as an accident in its history? grin

Please. Go straight to hell with that nonsense.

[s]Thanks ejembi28! I appreciate your kind comments. it seems you are the adult in the room.
Am often pressed for time and such cant reply to rants on Nairaland. Auto Check and Carfax report are not a 100% accurate in their reportage on car history, thats the more reason i pay technicians to physically examine the cars to check for evidence of prior accident repairs before i buy any car, you will agree that a car that has been in an accident on carefull examination by a trained technician such will be discorvered.

secondly, i displayed the Vin openly and did a Vin search at VehicleHistory.com website to prove to intreasted buyers that the car had not been in an accident that in itself is transparency at the zenith.

Carfax/Auto check website are privately owned business as well as Vehiclehistory.com, Histories of cars are not directly reported to this companies neither are they primary repositories of such informations, Vehicle incident report is a public document (more like freedom of information thing) several Auto search business can access those information at the click of a botton, such info are derivable from DMV(directorate of motor vehicle)
National Motor Vehicle Title Information System(NMVTIS), insurance companies, the police and a few other places.

carfax,Autocheck,Vehicle History.com,Dmv.org,instavin.com, vincheckup.com and a host of over 100 VIN checking sites all obtain their vehicle history reports from the above places.

History is replete of several instances were Carfax, Auto check reports etc have been wrong or totally inconclusive, and cannot be the sole determinant of the true status of any used car, Information giving by this organisation provide useful tips about vehicles but they are not 100 percent full proof, more reason Carfax etal always advice you to engage a trained mechanic to inspect the car before purchase, if their reports were full proof they wont ask you to get a trained technicians opinion.

Am really not upset am just amazed by how people can rely on reports that are not full proof and cast aspersions on other peoples business endevours, even when the seller/advertizer avers to having inspected the car personally and has the picture of a mechanic doing same before the car was purchased.

Calling someone silly on a public forum is the height of incivility and that should have earned u a barn under Nairalands rule 2.

Saying i made a partially false claim basing your argurments on 2 websites (ONLY) whose reportage are not 100% full proof hangs in the balance,

Vis a Vis the owner who has physically seen/inspected the vehicle live, paid a technician to further inspect it, reseached the VIN on another search website (vehiclehistory.com), gave the VIN out on social media for further reaserch by intreasted buyers or auto entusiasts, gave the location of the car for buyers to go inspect it with their mechanic.

i feel i have done the best i can do under the giving circumstances, the country is screwed therefore churns out screws.

I rest my case. [/s]

Yes, you're really quite silly.

If you weren't, you'd have better judgement.

Summary: This vehicle has had at least one incident recorded as an accident in its history.
While that may not necessarily diminish its value, it's still the case.

good afternoon nairalanders. i want to first of all apologise to everyone for not being transparent at my first try at selling a car on this forum some months ago. i didnt do my proper research and so i gave wrong information. i had to deactivate the previous account because i felt bad then. i have learnt my lesson and will continue to be transparent.
It's commendable that you've provided the VIN, but you seem to either not have done such a good job with the research you mentioned, or deliberately left out significant information.

This vehicle was flood damaged, the flood water level was clearly indicated in one of the photos you posted.

Perhaps you should mention that in your advert, it's a very significant positive.

**
I wondered when you'd show up again, and if you'd do the right thing this time.

https://www.nairaland.com/4444612/direct-tokunbo-2010-honda-cr-v

You'll note the last comment I made on your previous thread.

You should have just mentioned it was flood damaged but repaired to your satisfaction.

Take a cue from the gentleman in the advert below:

The claim was disproved by one or two people? Out of close to 1000 views I laugh. It's you and your surrogate that are mascurading as experts yet know next to nothing about autos. I looked at all your previous post to see were u displayed a bicycle or a bicycle spoke for sale yet i found none. Arm chair critiques make una continue.
Apparently in addition to being obstinate and silly you also lack basic comprehension skills, because if you did you would realize that the sources referred to were the Carfax and AutoCheck reports.

I don't sell anything, don't need to, don't intend to. But just as one doesn't need to sell helicopters or women's shoes to be informed about them, I don't need to sell anything to know about that subject matter.

It's simple:

You made a patently false claim about the vehicle you advertised.

That doesn't necessarily make this a bad purchase, it's actually in reasonable condition.

But the simple truth is, this vehicle has at least one accident in its history.

You can continue to debate that all you want and cry 'pull him down' and 'You don't sell cars so you don't know anything about them' all you want, doesn't change the simple fact that you lied about the accident history of this vehicle.

And people still wonder why Nigeria sucks, its not leadership per say its the pull him down syndrome of its people.
Something must genuinely be wrong with you.

Who cares enough about you to want to 'pull him down'?

You made a claim that this vehicle was accident free and backed it up with an unreliable source.

That claim was disproved with not 1, but 2 different reliable sources.

Next you're crying and whining 'pull him down'

Refer to my very first post where I commended you for providing the VIN and encouraged you to get rid of the false claim.

You want to know another reason why 'Nigeria sucks'?

It's obstinate people like you who refuse to see reason.

The proof is staring you in the face that the car has had at least one accident in the past and there you are spouting all sorts of foolishness.

Carry on.

AutosRe: SOLD SOLD SOLD 2009 Toyota Venza FULL OPTION by Cosplay:
[quote author=legalwealth][/quote]1. There's nothing relevant or significant about the history or condition of this vehicle that wouldn't be revealed with an Autocheck or Carfax history report, and subsequently during a professional physical inspection.

2. His price is really not your business. As long as he's made the VIN and other relevant information available, If he decides to advertise this vehicle for 100 Million Naira, it's not your business.
Any seller that makes the decision to ask or set a ridiculous price, would be brought back to reality when the vehicle sits on a lot for 1 year.

3. Newbies? You mean newborns, neonates, aliens who don't know to at least know what they're spending money on?
At this point whoever spends money on any vehicle without a history report where applicable has him/herself to blame.

4. Grow up. All you had to do was send a message via Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, etc, if you're too cheap to make a phone call for something you're genuinely interested in.

Did you bother trying to contact the seller with any of the listed contact information?

He's provided the VIN, he's stated the mileage, his price is there.

Don't you think you would get better feedback if you contacted the seller through ANY of the above means?

"Had no option" my foot.

If you were serious about the inquiries, you would have reached out to him, especially if for some reason you didn't get a response to a question you posted on the advert.

saintjoel: Well, you wanted proof that VIN tampering was been done in Nigeria and I've gotten you one.....
That's not entirely accurate. Go to the first page of this thread. Check my other thread. I'm well aware it happens, as I described on both threads. Your input is quite welcome though.

saintjoel: A SUV with two VINS on it, the other VIN that came with it will be removed once the defects have been rectified and vehicle is about to be delivered..... Car dealers mostly do it now to beat your VIN checks......
This is what they, and apparently you, don't seem to understand:

A VIN is not a random number.

You simply cannot just make up random alphanumeric characters and present as a VIN. Each character there has a specific significance, and is related to the other characters in the VIN

This VIN tampering you've described here would actually not "beat your VIN checks".

The original VIN of the Range Rover,

SALSF25476A930973

Specifically matches US/North American Range Rovers, and it's actually quite easy to validate any VIN for any vehicle from North America.

This counterfeit/forged VIN,

SALSF25476A569801

Is invalid, and would not show up on any range rover VIN database anywhere on the planet.

What do you think would happen when the client forwards this forged VIN to a platform for a history report for a vehicle originating in North America, and the VIN itself comes back as non-existent?

Red Flag

Simply put, for a North American - origin vehicle, the total absence of any history of any sort, is an even bigger red flag than a salvaged or damaged history.
